Me who uses a phone: Hmmm, interesting...

[@gildedguy]

Very hyped to see the premiere. My own Huion (GT-191) is still workin fine, 4 years in so those tablets ought to be mighty fine trophies for the finalists.

Got the same heh, love it.

[@MX5DoEtRick27]

I use a Kamvas pro13 (older model) for animating as a hobby, I’ve use it for approx: 3yrs now, I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.

Does it have etched glass or a textured screen protector? There seems to be conflicting information circulating around

You know its because of you that I now appreciate art and animation and the LARGE amount of hard work that gets put into it So thank you very much my friend👍👍👍😁✌

Your videos inspire me so much to make my animations more stylish, thank you

Fam, I got into animation inspired by you, thanks man its kinda hard as a beginner who just drew manga pages, but heck all things need to have a start. Thanks for the review, it clears up all the pros and cons.

I started out using a jam studio tablet and I'm totally amazed at how much these devices have progressed.

I'm glad to see this video because I have not bought a drawing tablet as yet so seeing this I can now narrow down my choices.

[@lilorf4814]

Is it the 2.5k reso? Pixelation is not noticeable right compare to 1080p?

[@julianabrito1677]

Thank you, as a designer, this is one of the best reviews that is most helpful. personally, i'm leaning more towards the XP-Pen right now. the prices and tech specs doesn't differ too much . one thing that has me considering the xp-pen Artist 13.3 Pro over the huion Kamvas Pro 13 though was that you don't need to plug the cable into a power outlet for it to work, you can just hook it up to your computer and go. contrarily, the huion does need a power outlet for it to power on.

[@kiwikevnz]

Hi Howard, thanks I just came across yr chan after looking for a monitor arm for my new Huion Kamvas Pro 24 4k, and I agree with you about Huions product quality and the Kamvas Pro 24 4k is an awesome, premium build pen display with an IPS screen and the colours are just gorgeous I have to say and the Pen performance matches it as well, thanks again Howard and all the best, cheers Kev

[@cloud-ru7je]

Good luck to all the animators!!

[@AllahBoinkedMe]

I'm in my 3rd year with a Kamvas 16 Pro ... and I continue to be *thrilled* with it every time I use it (ie daily).

[@GoalOrientedLifting]

I just bought a used one, and I'm so glad I went with kamvas 16 pro. It's great. Exactly what I wanted

[@KnowTheFactsOff1cc1al]

the huion 13 pro has 2.5k and wasnt it like 8 buttons im new so i dont know what is alot and what is not, still trying to figure out which i should get i do want a screen tablet so which should i get? Edit: also can i use adobe animate for this?

[@alquinart]

Not sure I understand sending these to artists that already spent a whole year producing full fledged animations, they probably have good or better tablets already, at least, I'd imagine, dunno 🤔 But I'm here to see which one to buy for myself and I like how you compare all these! Very helpful

[@movanillaa_4876]

Thank you very much, this really helped me!

[@saraholala4457]

Is it weird I prefer drawing on a Regular Ol' graphic tablet? Im not sure why, I think its because I like working with my head at a straight angle, while with a display tablet, my head is kinda at an angle, and after a while the back of my neck feel uncomfy. Maybe Im prone to back/neck problems more than others idk lol

[@twixie__5651]

can I use aesperite on it? for Pixel art

[@grphxhub9436]

Great video! What is your computer type please?

[@SushiNeko_moosic]

i personaly can recommend the gaomon M106K... Good affordable blind-tablet with a lot of keys (12) and i have some shortcuts like zoom in/out, move, brush/fill etc... so 12 keys can key handy

I have kamvas pro 20 and im not enjoying IT. Its too big, my eyes hurt and it have only 1920x1080 so its really little blurry.

[@dedenma8959]

Can u compare 13,16 too

[@andydany3260]

Does huion tablets come WITH drawing/animation apps orrrrrrrr you have to download one, and which app is the best to use?

[@Kogami]

It's not bundled with any apps. But to me, it's not a huge problem because Krita and Medibang are free drawing programs that are fantastic and worth checking out. Or you can wait for Clip Studio Paint sales and buy it for 20$.

[@afaquejaya2524]

What will you say about ipad pro/Air ? For animation 🤔

[@HowardWimshurst]

i wouldn't get an IPad for animation

[@EarthHeartSun]

Im am planing to buy a drawing table. I was planning to buy a wecom table. But i wanted a screen one.

[@galeocerdo6084]

Your main drawback is a bit of a moot point when the Wacom tablets don't even come with a stand, that's an additional purchase and like the Wacom there are very good aftermarket options for the Huion such as the Ergotron HX.

[@memecake9890]

What type of specs I need for my computer to run 4K 60hz on the tablet.

[@carlosmunoz2638]

depends on the software you want to use, but the most important things to look at are the GPU (graphics card), CPU (processor) and RAM

[@SuyashGoel]

I m using huion kamvas 16 2021 model. Its amazing

[@Rebecca-qg8pb]

Can I use this for 3d work?

[@HowardWimshurst]

yes

[@Liv_103.]

For all you animators who use touch screen tablets such as the Huion 13 tablet do have to have a computer or cam you use just the tablet?

[@carlosmunoz2638]

These aren't tablets, these are pen displays. You need to plug them to a computer. They wom't work otherwise

Nice comparison 👍🏻 What's your opinion on wacom cintiq 22HD? I'm using wacom bamboo pen tablet since last 11 years and no problem at all Recently I used huion H950P for three months only but i was not that confident and facing lag issue and now pen not working properly. I feel wacom is more reliable, accurate, and has better build quality.

[@HowardWimshurst]

i think you would be very happy with a Cintiq 22HD. it's a SOLID tablet

[@amakohi]

@@HowardWimshurst I think the kamvas pro 13 should go to 3rd place. It is an older product than the kamvas 13. You can't use usb type c with the pro unlike the kamvas 13.

@@neroxyx3085 Honestly, I had to return mine because of some issues, and the help service seemed a bit slow for my liking, I thought it was just bad luck 👀 because when the display did work, it was excellent. But (and just in case) if you mean the left handed settings, I think a KZbin video would help you better, since I'm not that good at explaining myself. If you have other issues, I'd recommend returning it, which may sound a bit drastic, but I didn't have a good experience trying to solve the problems of my device (spent two months just trying to get a solution and once they provided one, I had to pay more, and in the end it didn't work either) :( sorry if none of this is helpful to you
