Huion Kamvas 12 (2021): Review + Kamvas 16 size comparison

[@ethomascreative]

This was such a easy to understand and excellent review! Thank you for the extra tips on the additional cable and the stand!

[@rohanilame7236]

Only problem is just the size as u mentioned... Obviously most of us would like to have a larger one around 22,24 or even 32 one.

[@sokinecola9361]

Exactly. Wish to have size comparison of 16’’ and 22’’ tablet

[@rasciii]

32 inches is bigger than my monitor 😂

[@Orguioggy]

this guy deserves more likes his explanations are really simple to understand and an overall great video

[@catafest]

The construction of Huion tablets is good. Good price. I have an older version of Huion WH1409. When using the wiki, my tablet looks weaker in performance versus data cable use and battery consumption - obviously. I see in the review the Huion team changed the tip of the pen. The pen I have at Huion WH1409 looks sharper in shape. Having a custom pen is a bonus from my point of view. My ver 1.0 tablet drivers are older and compatibility with Linux or other Huion drivers is a bit problematic for the uninitiated so I would be very curious if the new models are compatible.

I got 180-190$ price in February. I just found a way to split Sai Paint and Clip Studio for Extend Monitor setting. Thank you for your reviews

Thanks for your kind review. Huion have introduced great products in the last year.

I recently bought a pen tablet based on your other review. I have been a Wacom user for a long time and wanting to explore other brand can offer. So after I got the (non-Wacom) tablet - I noticed that the driver isn't well refined or inflexible or many limitation. Ie. the assign prog for that preset only work for the express key and not the pen; other example is those that some shortcut cannot be assign on pen button2&3 but able to assign to the pen-tablet express keys; another example is u cant assign mouse scroll/right click/ middle click on the dial or the express keys. What I am saying is that, perhaps you can provide review based "not just" what they have in driver but what is their limitation. As some of the missing feature (based from Wacom driver) can be a deal breaker for some. To me, the driver (software) is equally important as the hardware itself.

[@LunaBianca1805]

Still wondering if I should get something like this. I got a regular Wacom graphic tablet, which I don't really use much yet. At least not for actual drawing - I use it when my right hand gets all tired from using the mouse in my CAD programs (I'm a lefty, but since everyone else in my family's right -handed I only ever learned using right-hand mousse and the lefty ones kinda feel wrong to me ^^') I switch to drawing with the graphic tablet then. But actually inking and sketching and drawing I do "offline" then usually scan and retouch digitally and then again print and colour with actual colours again. So this review is actually real helpful. Thanks, Teoh🥰

[@vermis8344]

I think I've been spoiled by the AMOLED display and hi res of my old Galaxy Note 10.1, which just died. I'm wondering whether to drop a lot of money on the Tab S7+ as a replacement, or put an equivalent amount (or less) down on a lower-cost browsing tablet and a dedicated art tablet; but the 1080p of this new Huion machine is less than half the resolution of my seven year old tablet(!) I don't know if a bigger, pricier art tablet would be a better substitution for an S7, but I admit I haven't seen your reviews about those yet. I see a link to the Kamvas 16 review that I'm about to click on... On the same topic, I understand that your use of the S7+ here was to talk about compatibility with any android device, but out of curiosity, and disregarding cost, which do you think is better for producing art: the Tab S7+ or the Kamvas 12? Thanks Teoh.

17:58 Since you were "drawing" those dots, it reminded me on the XP-PEN dots & stipples issues... did you experience any similar issue on any HUION device or pen? I am still really curious, if this is a software or pen technology problem of a certain brand. Thanks in advance...!

My laptop screen died and I am planning on getting a Kamvas to serve as both my regular monitor and a drawing tablet. I have a iPad 2018 which I love but it does not have the RAM for some of the larger files I want to work on so a tablet display is on my wish list. I would really like the 16 but due to price I am leaning toward the 13 (13 is my minimum for a computer monitor, but I prefer under 11 for iPad). I would like a larger display for normal computer usage but will probably eventually just get a regular monitor for that since I prefer drawing in the smaller size, plus I want it to be portable.

[@teohyc]

While such pen displays are small, chances are you won't be bringing them outdoors to draw because it's inconvenient. But yeah do get at least 13.3 inch for a more comfortable drawing experience.

Hi, after reading your review of kamvas pro24, I purchased kamvas pro24. Recently, I got news from the huion customer service that the latest v15 driver can support running two huion devices at the same time.I wonder if you can comment on this? My plan is to use a large screen (kamvas pro 24) as a Screen Drawing Tablet, and a small screen (consider buying kamvas 12) as a Graphics Drawing Tablet, using only a pw517 digital pen to operate back and forth. However, the v15 driver is temporarily only compatible with kamvas 12, 13, 16, 22plus, and kd200. Pro24 users need to continue to wait. I don't know English, I use a translator to translate.

[@teohontech7141]

@@sentry9834 For pen displays, I find it significantly more convenient to use keyboard shortcuts, more so over the shortcut buttons that may be on the pen displays. Main reasons is my drawing hand is holding the pen, and the other hand is on the keyboard. I don't want my drawing hand to switch to using finger gestures and back, especially when my other hand can do the same thing. When it comes to rotating the canvas, using finger gestures to rotate is indeed more convenient. But for pan and zoom, keyboard shortcuts is faster.

[@Waste-Water-Management]

How big are you and how big is your bag or laptop? I am small and so 15 inch bags are too big and heavy for me to carry. I have a 14 inch backpack instead which cannot carry my huion kamvas pro 13 which is actually 15 inches in length. A kamvas 12 would be perfect for me however. My laptop is 13.3 inches.

Hi Teoh, do you know if different Kamvas product works with the same driver? I am running a Kamvas 22 Plus now and I would like to buy Kamvas 16 2021 to use on the same computer. I am wondering if it is possible for the driver to work with both monitor at the same time.

[@teohyc]

They should use the same driver. It’s best to get models that use the same pen. That way you can use the same pen on both pen display

[@sentry9834]

Great review. Its selling for less than $200 usd on Amazon. I was set on the Wacom One before seeing this review. Now I'm struggling to decide which one to buy. Why do you need the colors to match on both your laptop and tablet? Is that a consideration we should be concerned about? That color calibration step seemed a bit too complicated, considering the color calibration tool you mentioned. Thanks for the in-depth review.

[@teohyc]

Do compare prices with the Huion 13 and if that's within your budget, get the larger display. I need colour calibration because I use multiple displays so I need the colours to look the same on each display. The colours for the Huion should look good out of the box so no colour calibration is needed unless you need critical colour accuracy.

Replacement screen protectors are available through their website. You said your screen is smooth. Is it glossy? If it's glossy, then it makes sense to get a matte screen protector for the textured drawing surface. If it's already a matte surface, I don't really recommend getting a replacement because matte screen protectors will scratch eventually.
