Huion Kamvas 13 (gen 3) pen display REVIEW: This is a good one

[@stengon2603]

Im glad we have the wheels and buttons back, brands underestimate the usefulness of in built shortcuts

[@ragecandy]

Kids have it so good now, I remember when I paid like a thousand bucks for a cintiq 12 wx with the crappiest display ever 😭

[@nerfytheclown]

No kidding. I can't even believe where we are now. Getting this.

[@nycsim-r8t]

Here's the funny thing. A Wacom pen tablet from that generation (if you can still find working drivers) is still good. Still rockin' on my Intuos Pro Medium (2017) which has a more sensitive pen than Huion or XP Pen (lower IAF and higher pressure range), but also use a Huion 16 (2021) as a display and for inking (this is where display tablets excel). I find the pen tablet to be more ergonomic and comfortable for everything else like sketching and painting. Now, I get that some people can never adjust to a pen tablet, but most people can within a couple of weeks.

[@ragecandy]

@@nycsim-r8t yeah non screen tablets but that one cintiq had like zero backlight after like 4 years, it was the worst tn panel ever lol

Yup I say this all the time. 😂 using a samsung tab now and wish I had this accessibility when I was younger.

Wacom should know by now that they have competitors and APPLE is practically beating their asses. Wacom, u are not the shit no more. Please lower ur prices.

[@FarFromHome12]

Huion makes a really cool and very functional pen display. Can't wait for the 16" version😉

[@teohontech7141]

Yeah, they should definitely update the rest of the line with this new design. They nailed the matte glass design (sharpness vs texture) which is better than on the Kamvas Pro 19

[@havocarius]

My order was shipped this morning! I can't wait to have it

[@Artofizanagi]

Damn if ur a beginner and already have a laptop or pc then this is a steal. Stylish and functional at a very reasonable price. I have a Samsung and Huawei tablet but this is tempting ngl.

Well I just bought this. I’ve had a Wacom intuos pro small since 2018. Time to experience my first pen display. I plan to use this to get more serious with my artistic journey. Thanks for the review.

[@DanielleButler-q8b]

I bought this for my 10-year-old daughter this Christmas. She’s autistic, but I have no doubt she’s going to create incredible art with it. I can't wait to see the amazing things she'll accomplish! May I also add that she has been drawing for a couple years now and she is quite the artist 🥰

Line quality and pressure sensitivity looks very good

[@MyLordCrazy]

The price is a decent fraction of ipad 10th gen and samsung tab s9 fe, would be interesting to see a comparison between all those with pros and cons for drawing and note taking

[@teohontech7141]

Comes down to whether you need to use desktop software. If you have to use desktop software, you can't go with portable tablets.

[@nonesuch27]

I got the tab S9 FE for 270€ several months ago, during a Samsung promotion. Personally I can't get used to non-touch displays after 15 years of using touch tablets and phones every day.

How confident are we that a 16" version is coming, and how soon do we think we'll see it? I'm trying to decide if i want to jump on this one while its on sale or wait for the 16"

[@teohontech7141]

Not sure when the 16-inch will appear.

[@Repligon]

Cool. Now we are getting etched glass on non-premium tablets. I wonder how long higher resolutions will take.

[@teohontech7141]

That may take a much longer time. The lower resolution models probably will continue to exists so that the higher resolution models can sold at higher prices.

[@SilentTrip]

Cute tablet, I would have bought it years ago. I don't need any more drawing tablets now

[@renehenriquez666]

Do you know if is possible to connect this with the new OnePlus Pad 2 I'm new in this world of drawing on tablet (hobbies) so will be nice if is compatible

[@teohontech7141]

I no longer have the OnePlus Pad 2 to test so I cannot confirm. But in theory it should work. OnePlus can output video from USB-C port.

[@BrianIsWatching]

I've been wanting to upgrade from my screenless Wacom Intuos and this looks like the most promising that I've seen. I've heard reviewers say anything below 16 inch is too small, but I could possibly make icons bigger and move brushes, layer menu, and color wheel to another screen to free up drawing space.

[@teohontech7141]

If you have to hide the palettes or colour wherl, or move to another screen, it would not be as convenient compared to having all your controls on one display. 13 inch is still okay with the controls but on a 16 inch you can have bigger palettes (easy on the eyes) and bigger canvas space

[@BrianIsWatching]

@@teohontech7141 If it's a matter of grabbing the mouse to click things on the other screen then that's just an extra second, if that works the way I imagine. But maybe this won't be a big deal for me since I've gotten by in the past with drawing on the Nintendo 3DS which is like a postage stamp in comparison to this device.

[@teohontech7141]

@@BrianIsWatching You don't actually have to grab a mouse. You can click the pen button to switch cursor to another screen, click, and switch back. But to do that several times is inconvenient already compared to being able to access everything on one screen without having to switch cursor.

[@Lishtenbird]

Also - do you know if Huion tablets still work as tablets even when the display is off? I imagine they should (my ancient Cintiq does), but just to be sure.

[@teohontech7141]

I did not test that but it should be possible. Eg Use mirror mode, but disable the video feed to the Huion.

[@ghostmonk0007]

love that recessed plug for the monitor c cable.not sure why most plugs dont have some kind of recessing or open gaping to protect bending. also this design is in the right direction. not something i like to see on pro versions. but if they made a remote with these wheels. although they need to work on button design, cause having the same shape and sized buttons next to each other is counter intuitive with more than two. the middle button could have been a circle or long shaped, cause it helps so much. i dont enjoy looking at the buttons, even when they are right next to the screen.

[@cheri8832]

Will you review the 16” one when it comes out? it’s going to be announced very soon. Looking forward to your review if so :)

[@teohontech7141]

I will review that. Currently testing it

[@rocoad]

Thanks for the review! Definitely excited about the reduced sparkle screen finish and the improved color accuracy. Does this tablet require the huion brand usb c connector or will any work? I know some of the other older models had deep seated and narrow openings that only the proprietary cable could reach

[@teohontech7141]

It needs the Huion 3 to 1 cable. If you use USBC to USBC, you can use any USBC video cable

[@starlightanya1118]

Hi Teoh, great video! I was planning on getting a kamvas 13 and i saw they had this new model so now I'm conflicted on getting the older one or this gen 3 ? Do you think the upgrades are worth it over getting the older version? 🤔

[@teohontech7141]

Probably get the new one unless the discount on the old one is really good. The new one is quite worth the money

[@ca678.4]

Recommendations for a screen tab that’s small for on the go use? Don’t really want an iPad cause I want to use windows apps

[@teohontech7141]

Most of the 11-inch or smaller Windows tablets I know of are bad, and also have lousy pen support.

[@ghostofmonsters]

I have the huion 22 plus..and the colors are AWFUL on it. So seeing huion take an extra step to make sure the colors are great is definitely a buy from me. Hopefully they come out with a bigger version.

[@teohontech7141]

Did you colour calibrate it? I measured 96% sRGB, 94% NTSC, 97% Adobe RGB and 88% P3 for Huion 22 Plus. So it's actually one of the better displays from Huion in terms of colour accuracy, even when compared to recent pen displays.

[@ghostofmonsters]

@@teohontech7141 I did color calibrate it..for a solid month lol. I ended up contacting Huion themselves, and even their own color profiles didn’t help. It may be a defective model but unfortunately I can’t return it and get a different one.

Hi Teoh, whats your recomendation between this or Xppen pro 14 gen 2 if budget wasnt the issue between this two?

[@teohontech7141]

I likely would go with xppen because I prefer the 16:10 aspect ratio vs 16:9, and is a key feature I always look out for.

[@KrullMaestaren]

Thanks for a good review. Would have been so interested in this if it just had multi-finger touch capabilities as well. A bit strange that it is missing when they highlight Android support.

[@teohontech7141]

Android support nowadays just means mirroring the display

[@シトリー-v5b]

Is 13 inch small, I'm torn between 13 and 16 inch. If it's 16 inch, should I buy XP Pen artist 16 or save money and buy this new Kamvas 13 gen 3. Thanks for the help ^^

[@grellowny6978]

Imo 16 would be more comfortable

[@teohontech7141]

I personally prefer 15-16. 13 is the minimum size. You can cut out some paper to compare the sizes

[@Idaero_Art]

Get your comfortable size. Teoh’s tip is good. Try to draw on paper with those size. But don’t move your head closer o.o You will ruin your eyes if you draw with 5cm distance (back then I draw like that on paper to get details. Digital art you can just zoom. Technology!!l). One thing to remember is you will not draw on full screen on PC programs. The UI took like 1/4 of it. 13” is completely useable. It’s basically same like using normal iPad (10”) because PC apps are taking lot of space around the edge (like the video here). You can customize the UI cleaner though. The ‘downside’ of bigger budget tablet is they are all still 1920x1080 pixels, so the it’s kinda less sharp, and the pixels is visible, bit grainy. But you wont really notice it till you compare directly, so it’s fine. To compare this, mobile phones have bigger resolution o.o So IMO, 13” is perfect size for 1080p screen. The screen and pen quality are exact same. I only have compared xppen 13 gen2 and huion kamvas 16 2021. I read on comment Teoh also said the quality is mostly same from the gen2.

[@rakly347]

5:15 your 'lowest angle' for the stand is wrong. There's two lower angles.

Nice review Teoh, would you recommend this for me? My first tablet is a Huion HS64 and I am looking to upgrade to a pen display with a screen. What do you think?

It really goes in your way if you want to move your tablet, even slightly, u have to remember about griping it certain way because if not stand will be left behind. Also didnt like how huion stands elevate tablet above desk, i had to use keyboard palmrest or folded cloth cuz of my wrist scraping bottom of the tablet and that metal lip from a stand
