Huion Kamvas Pro 16 Plus vs XP-Pen Artist Pro 16TP

[@DarkEggplant]

Good comparison. Touch is not really a selling point for me so I’d have to say the Huion looks much more appealing with it’s laminated/textured screen and better pen feel. Looking forward to your review of the Huion 24 inch 4k model as well.

[@mathinfinity6149]

I have both devices. As a math teacher, the XP Pen's touch feature is a huge plus. I need it to be able to move my virtual whiteboard or pages of my screen much faster than using a touchpad. The eraser at the back is also very handy.

Great review and comparison as always! I feel overall with Huion we get the Wacom quality for the XP Pen price.

[@benv.4036]

I find that using touch with 3D Coat makes a huge difference. Well, for me personally anyway. Being able to rotate quickly around an object that I'm sculpting/painting makes the process so much more enjoyable. I find myself quite frequently wishing Blender had touch input. Hopefully, Blender devs will add that functionality or someone will make an add-on someday soon.

[@ZigUncut]

Yeah second that. I just sold my cintiq 16 Pro and the touch was great and I used it all the looking at getting the huion 4k 22 inch, but I really want touch.

XP-Pen Pros: - Touch display (only really useful on Windows and Android) - Brighter display (needs second USB-C connection to drive past 50% though) - USB-C connections at top of display, reducing the chance of damage when held! - Pen has eraser Cons: - gloss display! - Single set button on pen - Pen sensitivity issues! Huion Pros: - Textured glass display! - Better pen sensitivity! - Second set button on pen! Cons: - No eraser on pen - No touch display (not an issue at all if you're a Mac user) Notes: - Exclamation points indicate a major point. - Other pros/cons concerning accessories are omitted, as these are fixable/changeable after purchase, where as issues with the product itself will be there for the life of the product. One might opt for the XP-Pen if touch is a seriously important to their workflow, otherwise, the Huion seems like the generally superior product.

[@theinktician]

I like the Huion! Xppen just announced a new pen yesterday but didn't say what it was for. Maybe they're replacing this tablet's pen

[@AaronMetallion]

Great review man! Because I've drawn on iPad / Samsung Note before, not having touch is a huge loss for me. Since traditionally I turn my sketchbook a lot, and being able to pinch to zoom in, out, rotate makes drawing feel like a very organic and seamless experience. I'm able to work so much faster, without the need for shortcuts, buttons, no need to touch a mouse or hotkeys... But the matte screen / textured glass of the Huion and better line accuracy (no wobble) might make me sacrifice the touch. It looks much more premium to draw on. Less fingerprints, and annoying glare. Another option is Wacom Cintiq Pro 13. Very small display ... But similar budget price, and touch.

[@applelayla4532]

Thank you SO much for this video! This is exactly what I'm looking for!

[@theinktician]

XP-Pen says its screen is the sweetspot between clear and anti-glare, but here it clearly has no anti-glare at all!

Thanks great review. Still in the dark though after visiting Amazon reviews section.. Some really bad ones for both of these. But also for the Cintiq 16 so really have no idea which one of the 3 is the way to go

[@mountstneonstudios]

Great review! I recently (last October) switched from a Wacom slate tablet to an XP-Pen Artist Pro 22. I am starting out in animation and love it. I only have a few things I would change about it, but they are minor. Curious if you have, or will review this model and it's Huion counterpart? Thanks again for the great review! Cheers! P.S. I thought it was funny that a commercial for XP-Pen played immediately afterward.😅

[@ROOTATUBE]

The pen on XP-PEN looks similar to the one for Parblo Coast16 so XP-PEN might using Hanvon digitizer as same as Coast16 too, from my experience it has the best pen/cursor alignment among "Cintiq alternative" brands but that pen's tip is very sensitive to dust and my pen start to had a problem with the pressure sensitivity at the very light activation force so I was not able to draw comfortably with my prefer pressure amount after few months then I sold my Coast16 for that reason... This pen is a bad choice....

[@kally7747]

Really gold info there. Thanks a bunch

[@TheDearRecorded]

Is there a better alternative out there now in 2022? Huion with touch? XP pen with matte screen? I like the textured controlled feeling on a matte surface but also like being able to quickly rotate the canvas/ zoom directly on the screen without reaching for the keyboard

[@teohontech7141]

Windows support for touchscreen isn't great. With other touchscreen devices, my drawing hand has the tendency to swipe out the panels from the bottom right side. And there doesn't seem to be a way to turn off that feature on Windows.

[@michaelmenzi8334]

I own the XP-Pen... Seeing the drawing performane makes me kinda eagerly for the Huion. But I can't draw as good as you, so anyway.. I use it for sculpting and texturing mainly and it's fucking brilliant! Coming from a deco pro m whithout a screen it's a huuuge upgrade! And also the pen feels much nicer than with the deco pro m. The sensitivity and especially the initial force improved by magnitudes! Low value comment since I can't really compare. But i really like the xppen!

[@ImGeraldBurns]

Huion should have put the USB-C port at the top so the wire isn’t getting in the way of the mouse, but! Should be fine if you replace the USB-C cable with an L shaped USB-C cable.

Depends on the apps you need. If you need desktop apps, Kamvas Studio 16 is good. If not, I recommend iPad models or Samsung tablets with S Pen because you’ll get better battery life and they don’t run as hot.

I have no idea why (or explain to people on this channel) you couldn’t just simply hold ‘z’ to scrub zoom and ‘r’ to rotate the canvas- I understand everyone has different ways of working, but using these shortcuts are a by far better workflow solution than the finicky touch. The problem with this review is that you’re trying to promote that not having touch functionality on a tablet makes the user experience “difficult”? Touch is only useful if the damn thing isn’t sluggish and has proper palm rejection such as the ipad.

[@teohontech7141]

I personally prefer using keyboard shortcuts any day. Touchscreen is nice but not having a touchscreen is not a downside.

I bought: a Kamvas 16 Plus, and after 4 months, I sold it because I can't normally work on it (uncomfortable work, was constantly tired), then I bought a Kamvas PRO 24, and the situation will not changed.
