[@shinkamui]

i love you didn't erase that tidbit of having the support the wrong way, very relatable

[@Leo-qn2zm]

really nice review! i'm thinking of buying a huion for myself, i currently have the wacom one screen-less tablet your art is very pleasing!!!

[@MrPeterFountains]

I bought a Kamvas 22 plus and have had it for a week now and its been an amazing experience. I haven't had any problems with it and I primarily use it in clip but I haven't had that problem with the layers like you are in ps. I had a 21ux and a 2013 22hd and going to this tablet has been a huge upgrade. I keep my ipad pro on me at all times and use the Kamvas to finish up my pieces. Honestly it isn't perfect but I enjoy the fact that Wacom has some serious competition now.

[@pxldgn7129]

What you do miss here (apart from the resolution, I guess)? Don't you find the iPad way too limited regarding ergonomics and size?

[@MrPeterFountains]

@@pxldgn7129 it depends really but that is one of the main reasons i purchased the kamvas 22 plus its easier on my back and i can sit further away as opposed to my ipad which is the 12.9 inch but the portability of the ipad is unmatched.

[@yofu2969]

I own both this tablet and a cintiq 22inch and if I’m being completely honest, the Huion has more vibrant colors but DOES NOT come factory calibrated so colors will always be off unless calibrated-Wacom has this problem too, the Wacom has less vibrant colors but still has a 100% srgb range so you’ll be completely covered for artwork. On to the big dealbreaker for me: I like to have responsive pen pressure and am sort of a light pen user so when the Huion doesn’t want to register my lighter strokes It really puts me off and I get frustrated, but the Wacom tablet registers all strokes from super light to hard presses. Another issue I’ve faced is the Huion doesn’t register fast taps sometimes I want to draw star dots and the Huion registers the first one but then the second one goes unregistered and then the 3rd one registers. ( it skips inputs ) Overall Wacom is still way ahead of these other brands. But if you’re on a budget I’d say you should be alright as long as you haven’t used a Wacom tablet before, once you use a Wacom tablet, it’s really hard to go back. Pen wise of course, I’ve seen better screens than the Wacom cintiq 22 inch, that’s why my main tablet is the intuos pro large and a 1440p color accurate monitor because it’s the best of both worlds and helps with my posture. I hope this helps someone make a buying decision since all these tablets are starting to look the same in terms of looks and specks, but Wacom is always on top and for good reason. ( the best stylus I’ve ever used is the Apple Pencil, the pen pressure is Godlike and the reaction time is truly amazing, grab yourself an iPad and an Apple Pencil since it’s portable and it’ll be around $400-$500 in total compared to other display tablets which have really janky pen pressure and require a computer to work.)

[@abdulmalik2388]

the 22 inch has 75% rgb tho

[@BobbyJ529]

the apple pencil with the lack of parallax issues looks pretty sweet but looks like a pita transferring work back and forth to pc if you're a windows user.

[@belld001]

Thank you for your honest opinions about Wacom. I have been using Cintiq for more than 20 years. The only thing I can say is that you pay for what you get.

Hey Ahmed, what monitor arm did you use in the video? Thanks for your review!

[@TheHotaru93]

Those sketches were amazing man! I just got my Kamvas 24 pro a couple weeks ago. Would you also recomend buying an arm for it? given it's much bigger and heavier...

[@y04dr13n]

What is the mount you used for the tablet? For better rotation control and whatnot.

[@itsio7188]

I bought the kamvas 22 plus. Having issues with pen not working on the actual canvas; works on everything else. I think I have done everything except unload and reload the huion driver. Any suggestions? Also, love your work

[@hyuganokaiten]

Do you find that your style change while drawing on a display tablet rather than your old wacom?

[@Fineartguy]

Don't know if I'll be switching off my wacom 16 any time soon but this looks promising overall. I still think that if I went for something other than wacom I wouldn't take huion just out of fear for the drivers.

[@drippinghanamizu]

lol the eye thing/layer situation happens to me with the yiynova mvp22u. I thought it was because my pen was faulty or the tablet a little bit old, but I think it is a driver matter.

[@thelastkidd8197]

Hi everyone I have a question about the displayport connecting to my tablet to pc, my Gpu is gtx 1650 super and its say it support displayport 1.4 but it is unavailable in my country currently. So can I buy any other Dp or does it have to be 1.4

[@mir_nips6398]

I bought this tablet but every time I turn it on it says no signal, did you ever have a problem with that and if you did how did you solve it?

[@Suggestive_Carp]

Been hit with an unfixable bug on UGEE and have to upgrade. I'm hoping this one lasts!

[@justarandomperson_v2994]

Idk why mine doesn’t work. It might be the driver, because when I start the tablet up, it works fine, but when I turn it off, but my laptop stays on, and I turn it on again, it has this huge error screen with stripes and colors over it. If I use the settings on the tablet itself, the error is under it, so I don’t know what it is.

[@Userdoesnotexit]

btw what Vesa are you are using to hold it dude ?

[@Anna-qwerty]

What arm did you buy for this tablet?

[@theasuke8091]

I've had the standard version for about 6 months, honestly only complaint I have is how easy the matte screen protector scratched compared to my old xp pen, but they're still not noticeable while I'm drawing right now

[@JuanReyes-rj6dl]

Took me a whole day trying to get mine to work with my PC... Turns out that with my Nvidia video card I need to set it up as a separate screen and not a mirrored one. Works great now... Mine does heat up a bit after about 6hrs of constant use.

[@JuanReyes-rj6dl]

Oh! Also if I have my guides on then when I paint or draw over the guide the screen glitches. It will kinda stutter and won't paint in the pixels where the guide is at.

[@Dennis-lk2ed]

​@@JuanReyes-rj6dl I experience the same using a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet, so I think this is a Photoshop issue rather than a tablet issue

[@JuanReyes-rj6dl]

@@Dennis-lk2ed that's weird. None of the screens tablets in college had any of these issues, but they were also running on Macs and not PC's.

[@Dennis-lk2ed]

@@JuanReyes-rj6dl oh, I meant the guide issue not the Nvidia one

[@JuanReyes-rj6dl]

@@Dennis-lk2ed yeah... That's what I was thinking. I guess it might be an issue with the way photoshop runs on windows. I used the Wacom screen tablets in college with no problems or glitches.

[@camf5662]

That quick clicking above / below issue does seem to be misunderstanding between Huion drivers and Windows... I have an older gt-220v2 that I previously used with a Macbook Pro with no such problem, but after switching to a new Windows machine, this started happening. :( I guess I just learned to live with it (as in, I got used to start yelling profanities regularly during the day when it happens).....

[@MrEmiosk]

it id double click feature I think that is causing the layer thing. experiment with other double click/tap actions and see if you get similair results.

for me i’d cheap considering how things are in the country i’m living like the new one only $799(8/9 dollars aprox i live in argentina and that’s almost nothing considering that others buy it and sell it for 50 dollars or something but idk it how you find it bc idk how the dollar is in usa or other countrys and that thing is huge so i would buy the 16 pro that is 399(4 dollars aprox) but it depends on the economy of their country and how you or your family are economically

[@wanna_know_something7888]

Is it necessary to use a screen protector? If so please suggest any sites to purchase as there are not many sources for 22 inches size

[@GhostCry100]

It's not necessary. It already has etched glass. And the tablets that don't have etched glass already come with screen protectors

[@emoxdarkskull]

how did you change your native resolution to 2k??

[@ryanschindler923]

you can't change the native resolution of the tablet, if the tablet's only 1080p then it just up-scales the image to 2k. You can set it to whatever but anything other than native is just scaled up or down accordingly, hope that helps :)

Wacoms pen and quality control is better - 2 times Ive tried Huion and both stopped working with 'no signal' - 'power save' ... Wacom on same pc, no issue.... I suppose theres a reason wacom is more expensive..

[@deadbeatt]

I got the 16 pro two weeks ago. I had a Wacom intuos for years but when comparing the Huion and the Wacom as far as price and quality, I picked Huion. So far I’m really Impressed. I’m a professional retoucher and do some illustration and I think Huion’s products are really killing it.

Nice video keep it up!

[@geebsawn1605]

I'm kinda curious on how you attach the 'arm' on the back of the tablet. Does it uses some screws? Been looking for a vid for this particular thing but can't find it

[@tankboi_]

Most monitor arm has a VESA mount attached to them. If the back side of your display tablet has VESA holes, you can attach them to the arm using screws. Those screws are normally included when you purchase the arm. If you pause the video at 0:36 you can see the back plate, at the middle, with 4 VESA holes. That's where you'll align your VESA mount. Hope this helps!

[@geebsawn1605]

@@tankboi_ Wow, never heard of those VESA. Thanks for the info! Btw I'm also planning on buying a new screen tablet this christmas, I might consider checking on those that has that too :)

[@WoodysAR]

It is warm? Is it uncomfortable? Does the heat build up?

[@AhmedAldoori]

Does not heat up or feel hot, it can be uncomfortable if you’re not using an arm.

[@itsio7188]

I just bought the Kamvas 22 pro... it has not shipped yet. Should I just get the standard 22? Do you think the contrast ratio 1000:1 versus (PLUS) 1200:1 would take that "warm" feeling away? Or would the 120% sRGB versus (PRO) 140% sRGB with quantum dot tech take the warm away BUT create more heat?

The pw100 pen (and other pressure sensitive pens from huion), are very poor. I used one for 100-150 hours, and its internal spring grew weaker and weaker until it broke. Any pen that uses moving parts to measure pressure sensitivity is a bad idea, they go bad and die unacceptably quickly.

I disagree, I've been using huion graphic tablet for over 4 years. Easily probably 5000 hours of work.
