Huion Kamvas Pro 16 (4k) Review

[@Artofizanagi]

Huion is giving Wacom a run for their money and I'm here for it. Wacom needs competition.

[@moussaahmed6662]

I mean, wacom hasn't produced much tablets for a bit of a long time, so if they don't make something new then the brands like huion and xp pen will take the spotlight from it

[@DilipkumarJadhav]

Isn’t Wacom making most money by licensing their pens to other mobile phone manufacturers? Who knows, huion uses Wacom licenses underneath 😁

[@77dris]

Wacoms like the 24 Pro are not much more money than the Huion 24 4k (only 10% difference). However, the Wacom has fans which is super annoying.

[@stevenhaines6974]

@@77dris Are the prices different where you're from? For me, the Huion 24" 4k tablet is $1,299, while the Wacom Cintiq Pro 24" is $1,999; making it 50% more expensive. I got those prices from the official sites of both products

[@Nogardtist]

im a wacom user and i say bash wacom with competition give em no mercy

[@elsevillaart]

Disadvantages of having a 4k tablet. - Wrong scaling in some software, because the screen is not big enough you probably are going to use a 200% scale or you could use 100% but will make you blind, especially for the text. - Middle tier to high tier pc is what you will need to run this tablet, the reason is that you will be using 4 times bigger most of the things, for example, you will need a good video card to handle 4k, brushes will be 4 times bigger this is a real problem with captured brushes so you will need more ram, just to be safe I recommend an 8 cores CPU minimum for this tablet. - If its a Displayport connection, welcome to the nightmare of moving monitors arrangements each time you turn the tablet Off, this was a real mess, the reason is that DisplayPort monitors are plug and play. Windows will flip a coin to see if it remembers the orientation of the monitors. Get an HDMI cable version. I just had to mention all the disadvantages that people probably didn't know before buying this great tablet. Great video I really love the glove dance, keep them coming.

[@youshimimi]

A pity Huion didn't give it one of their big boy stands that attach on the back. They are perfectly adjustable and really sturdy, which would be nice for this price. But hell, I'm so glad Wacom being gradually taken off their pricy throne!

[@77dris]

Same.

[@sanchezisfine]

Yeah, this is what I'm looking for the most on my next tablet. My have to settle for another wacom for the sake of having that arm stand.

[@DanielRedgrave]

@@sanchezisfine you can buy vesa adapters for non vesa tablets, and a good aluminium one will hold these light displays just as good as the 4 screws of a standard mount

I'm stoked to hear that Huion's first 4k model delivers. I purchased the Kamvas 22+ last month and am absolutely in love with it. I'm looking forward to upgrading to the inevitable 22 inch 4K pen display when it launches in the next 18 - 24 months.

[@goku21youtub]

also got me a 22 plus for chrismas :) im so in love and my art improved drastically. its intuitive and fun, much better than my intuos drawing tablet . ill keep it for very long time and then upgrade to 4k 24" in a few years

[@jasmineholbeche3258]

I just ordered that tablet today (kamvaz 22 plus)! I'm so excited for it to arrive, it's quite an upgrade and for the quailty it says it is it's a bargain

[@fablewalls]

Gone are the days the first comment would be "you can only produce "Art" on a Wacom" - this Huion looks amazing and I've been waiting for a 16inch screen. $800 for a 4K screen is really good.

[@djokotriono7787]

THE 1st review of this product on youtube. Kudos, Brad!

[@tahaesat5404]

Huion is officially top tier now. I really like Huion and glad they came up with something like this. I got the Huion Kamvas 16 pro a while back for 350 USD on sale, if you need something cheaper with a full hd laminated display this would be my recommendation.

[@carlogiovanni1362]

I bought one. It was supposed to be shipped about two weeks ago and it still hasn’t. Huion didn’t say anything about that until I sent them an e-mail. They just replied they’re delayed but don’t have an actual date when they’ll be in stock. I already paid for it!

[@JoshWhiteDesign]

Ive bought a number of products from them, and made the mistake of buying directly through them the first time. Rule of thumb - if you buy Huion, buy it from them on Amazon only.

[@carlogiovanni1362]

@@JoshWhiteDesign I wish I knew this before. I’m still hoping it arrives before April ends

[@PlazDreamweaver]

SAME! They said the exact same thing to me. It's infuriating. They somehow magically have stock, though, to send to reviewers. Wtf Huion?

Yes, as Josh White says buy Huion products through Amazon. I brought a Kamvas 22 when it had recently came out, and I got it in 3 days from ordering from Amazon.

[@rhoharane]

Huion is seriously going after Wacom, they need to start making felt nibs.

[@goku21youtub]

they have edged glas on the new models , i think it feels better than felt nibs on wacoms plastic

[@LightCarver]

Don't know when they started, but they do now.

[@Kogami]

Speaking of shortcut buttons, I would love to see Brad review the Huion Mini Keydial (KD100) and see how it is compared to the Wacom Remote.

[@palody_en-ja]

QHD resolution with a smaller price tag would be the sweet spot for me!

[@queertales]

I agree. I find that around 140-150 pixels per inch (PPI) for a drawing dislay is enough. QHD on a 16 inch would give 195 PPI, which is great. I have used the 13HD cintiq, which has a PPI of 170, which is more than enough. The cintiq 27 QHD only has a PPI of a 109, which I find a bit low on a drawing display. For a normal display that you keep at an around an arms length, 109 is okay, but a drawing dislay you use closer to your eyes, the pixels become a bit too visible.

[@FlameRat_YehLon]

@@queertales IMO any pen display approaching 300dpi is basically just another beast because the 100% zoom would be displayed almost life size. Without such high DPI you would have to choose between seeing the full image and seeing the full detail. Though otherwise, QHD is not that bad of a choice, and it's certainly much cheaper (both in screen cost and in PC spec cost). (And now think of it, alternatively maybe just buy 2 1080p 12 inch displays of the same brand and use them at the same time, which would probably cost the same as if there's a QHD 16 inch display)

[@zhangkairuan7211]

15.6 inch laptop comes with a QHD screen becomes a thing in 2021, so that is very reasonably for us to havea a QHD kamvas 16. But I really doubt that the price tag will com down because a 4K 15.6 inch LCD screen only coasts around 100USD while HUION raised the price tag significantly......

[@PlazDreamweaver]

I bought this 4 weeks ago and it was supposed to ship 2 weeks ago. They claim they don't have the item, as they're having a delay in getting stock and won't give me, nor the dude who contacted me with the same issue an estimation of when they will receive stock. Yet they somehow have stock to send out for review!? What the heck, Huion!? Anyway, I'm very glad for the review, despite $1,000 being held hostage for a product I don't even know when I'll receive.

[@jbro808]

I went through the same thing with a different model. After over a month I cancelled my order and a week later it was on Amazon but not with the "pre-order" discount but full price, I think it was like 10% more. Oh and they charged me a restocking fee even though it was out of stock

[@SamGC]

Honestly, a new Huion lover here. I used for almost 5 years a 21.50 UGEE tablet, big huge crystal there. But did the job. I ordered and returner a Huion Kamvas 20, the screen was awfull with lot of ghosting. Now with a little bit more of budget I own a Huion Kamvas 22 Plus, (499€) and OH BOY! THAT IS Awesome! Sooner or later you would want to draw a bigger screen so you can draw with your elbow or arm, the colors needs a little tweaking here and there, but once you have it... BOOM! Best tablet ever. On the resolution: You SHOULD be drawing at least with a distance from your hand to your elbow with the screen. So, at that distance, HD for me it's cool enough. I think that feature of 4k is really not necessary to do art. Good or bad. Sam out! ^__^

[@kshksh5033]

I had been waiting for this review ever since the product released!

[@MelvilleG]

Owning a amvas Pro 16 2020 regular version I can say that it is great. Absolutely agreed with Brad - almost no parallax, great pen, better cables as compared to the Kamvases of 2017-2018. One con is the stand - the tablet stands great until you decide to move it closer - it just slips because the landing deck is too small and has no stopper. Otherwise - amazing piece of harware.

It’s like every brand has very mixed reviews for their display tablets and I’ve been really inconclusive on what to get.

[@paranoidpanzerpenguin5262]

Wacom is definitely the best in terms of quality. I had a similar problem with Huion. Brightness on their site was a total lie or my screens were defective and extremely dim for some reason. Not to mention all the driver and calibration issues. Bought the Cintiq 16 nonpro and I can't complain even though it doesn't have a laminated screen or any fancy features.

[@WrathOfTheHydra]

So, I hopped from review to review for the 16" non-4k about a year ago, bit the bullet and bought one... I got to say, even with some of the negative quirks of the Huion, I still vastly prefer it to the Wacoms I've tried. Almost half in part because they make their drivers work properly, which is absolutely insane that Wacom has still not figured out how to get their drivers in check (they remind me of logitech). Just wanted to say thanks from like a year ago for the advice towards a new tablet and will keep tuning in into the future!

[@embodie_breaks7089]

are the drivers really that bad? I heard rumors' they fixed em.

[@WrathOfTheHydra]

@@embodie_breaks7089 In my experience, after one of the bigger updates I just had the exact same issues as before. A few artist friends were recommending making a back up file of my settings that I could just revert to when the drivers would act up, but I was already looking to upgrade anyway so I just ditched out. It's been a bit, but I have a few friends that still run into the "hold on guys, gotta restart since Wacom's acting up." Edit, for comparison: To be fair, I also know people who don't seem to have any problems, but they are also aware of the amount of people who do. For Huion, the only real issue I ran into was the initial setup, but after getting through that it's been working near flawless for me.

Should I get this instead of the Wacom cintiq 16? I am worried about how good is the pen and about the drivers, is it as stable as wacom?

[@PlazDreamweaver]

Depends on what you want to pay. I honestly wouldn't buy the cintiq 16 when the Huion Kamvas 16 2021 is much better and much cheaper. If you don't want any pixilated art, then the Kamvas 16 4k is the one for you. And at that price point, I'd honestly just upgrade to the 16 pro plus 4k for the better color gambut and contrast ratio. However, wait until it appears on Amazon if you can. Huion is having issues receiving stock, so nobody's product has even shipped yet, 2 weeks later. And yes, the pen is almost just as good (only difference is a little wobble, but that's why we have pen stabilization), and the drivers are perfectly fine.

[@hyakki5287]

I have the kamvas 22 plus which uses the same pen, i honestly cannot fault it - pen pressure, tilt, etc all work perfectly and they fixed the nib wobble that the older pens had. I dont know if the 16 uses the same drivers but the only driver issues ive had with the 22 plus is that occasionally when i connect my third monitor it switches the main display but its really easy to fix in driver settings

Why both these models of 16 inches display as well as the cintiq pro 16 don't have holes for a vesa mount?

[@annecarlsson1162]

I have the 16 Pro plus. I like it a lot. My only two gribes are the menus and tools can get a bit too small and the lack of VESA mount points on the back. Fortunately I use a program, which can be scaled. But it might be a problem for those using a program, where the menus and tools can not be scaled. Else I really love this unit. It is not too big and it is not too small. And I have made a small platform to get it a little higher up, so I do not have to bend over the tablet. I thought of the 24" 4K version to start with. But I found it too expensive and big for my office desk. And this gives the same resolution but is smaller and fit the length of my arms very well. Besides, you do not need to use the power plug, if your computer USB-C output has enough power.

[@ThomasKrul]

Arguably, the 15" 4k hp 360 envy laptop comes close in size and has been around (with drawing ability) for a couple of years now!

I got one of these and it’s really better then my Wacom cintiq pro 16.

[@cafuuune]

2:17 Huion's website says that "you *may* need to connect the power cable when using USB-C" because of the 4k resolution's power usage... so is it not enough to power it with just a laptop? Is it enough to power it via USB-C when in pen tablet mode (with the display off)? I do plan to eventually upgrade to a larger 4k display (when my workspace allows for it haha) and was thinking I could continue using this as a portable option since it's light and fits perfectly in my laptop bag.

[@yangxiao4153]

The biggest issue I found on the cable, is that the USB-C one too short... only 1m and that leads to me moving my PC on top of the desk. Other than that, perfect. (I had a Kamvas 16 recently)

[@benanderson89]

I have the original Artisul D16 from November 2017 (I actually pre-ordered it). Has worked flawlessly since getting it, but now I think I need an upgrade since it's only 1080p and the colour accuracy and brightness is noticeably worse than my BenQ monitor and MBP 16. When I first bought it the colour accuracy and res didn't matter too much since it was just for drawing as a hobby, but at work I've went from "the guy with Photoshop" to "the principal UI designer" recently and the D16 just doesn't cut the mustard now. After watching this review I've went and put the Plus model in my shopping basket along with Huion's KD100 and Backback; I can officially blame you for the four figure hole in my pocket. :P

[@theghast160]

the price while high, seems to be reasonable if compared with a wacom model of the same specs if they ever release one, which would probably be going for an asking price of 1500 to 2000 for being 4k

Can you make a Review of the Realistic paint Studio app?

[@thebradcolbow]

No, I don't have any plans to because it doesn't fit my art style. But there are some other KZbinrs like Borodante who has a really great video about it.

I think that 4K for a 15.6 inch display is a little overkill, but if it's accurate and looks good then why not? Personally though, I'd like to see Huion refresh the Kamvas 20 or Pro 20 ( 19.5 inch displays ) with a 1440p or 4K resolution. The higher resolution makes more sense for the larger pen displays, so they deliver more workspace while also looking less pixelly than the current ones with only 1080p. Part of me expects Huion to overlook the 20s in that regard, so it's probably more likely that the 22s or 24 will get the 4K treatment, which will still be a welcome development.

Is there a drawing tablet that DOESNT need to be plugged by a computer??

[@TommyCrosby]

You should talk more about the drivers and software in your reviews, this is the breaking point for me and why I returned a cheap drawing monitor to stay on a Wacom drawing tablet.

[@dinoadventure5336]

Oh? May I please hear your tips on this, I'm absolutely torn between Huion Kamvas Pro 16 4k or just... a regular wacom cintiq 16, but I heard bad things about both so I'm worried as to which one I should get.

[@TommyCrosby]

@@dinoadventure5336 I have a Wacom Intuos tablet and in Wacom drivers you can configure different settings per apps as you would expect but the XP-PEN driver had only one system wide settings and it's a major setback that goes untold in a lot of reviews. I also had to reinstall the driver at least once because it stopped detecting the screen. Alternative brands now make great products but the drivers are limiting them. You can still use them, you will do have to change your app settings to fit the tablet instead. It's up to you. Just to be fair, I also had my fair share of driver issues over the years with Wacom, so it's not perfect either.

[@77dris]

Huion just announced a 24 PRO 4K today!

[@ZigUncut]

The only major issue seems to be the screen being non touch. Use the touch screen all the time on the Wacom 16 pro. and felt tips. But it's so close now.

[@herzaislad]

Can you compare it to wacom cintiq pro 16? I am just considering buying cintiq pro 16 today, but I see this video. Kinda holding me back to buy cintiq pro 16, especially when you say wacom doesn't produce it anymore. Should I buy wacom cintiq pro 16 (new items are still available in my country), or this huion? What about this huion compatibility with m1 macbook? Thank you.

[@vardoncuellar8352]

I believe Cintiq pro 16 is available on wacom's site.

[@kwk-r7x]

I love the idea of a digital art pen-display, I even had one of a while but even that little bit of lag/drag ruins it for me. The Ipad pros don't have any lag (or it's so small that it's imperceptible) and they feel great to draw on. I just can't afford one :P So I'm still waiting for the right partner... I hope they solve all those pesky issues eventually. To me drawing is more about the experience than the result

[@eugeniosabater8449]

This is definitely the tablet I'm gonna buy!!!!!!!!!!

[@loriana5809]

Huion is a valuable alternative to Wacom. The only reason I don't switch to Huion for now is that I'd need to uninstall Wacom drivers before installing Huion's and that'd mean not being able to use my wacom tablet anymore

If we do not have competition, we remain stagnant, we do not grow. Good competition is healthy. It's paramount for our existence and planetary evolution! May the games begin...

[@Alfred_the_doodler]

Looking forward to their bigger sizes

[@amy_pieterse]

It is so difficult to decide which way to go, either having a portable drawing tablet or having one of these.

[@derodriguezp]

Wait, the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 is also a 16 inch 4k drawing tablet isn't it? Edit: Nvm, just got there in the video. It is still available in the European store in case anyone was interested

[@NaPH273]

probably just old stocks thats left. I exepct those Cintiq Pro 16 gonna run out in about another year and a half

[@briantium]

Have you reviewed the Kamvas Pro 16 2.5k? I don't see it on your video list. Curious to know if it's a serious drop-off screenwise from the 4k...

[@ianlincoln4278]

Have a cintiq 16. Wore off the resistance coating. Bought a paper feel screen protector and worn that smooth too.Waiting for etched glass from their competitors. I’d probably wear the coating off this one too. Wacom said “keep my third party screen protector on and use the felt nibs. “ I thought Wacom just had a brexit / eu issue with some products but it seems they have discontinued them.

[@hyakki5287]

The plus version has etched glass! I have the 22 plus which is also etched glass and ive had zero screen-wear after 6 months of near daily use

[@thearchitectssketchbook5776]

Brad your reviews are always useful. HUION have come out with a lot of pens across their year on year upgrades, have you tried one of their version 3 pens on an older tablet? Do they work, I know they say they only work with latest tablets, but other things often work across historic versions. It would be interesting to know.
