You've been pumping out these reviews lately! Thanks for all your hard work

[@brendentrethewey8154]

Finally an eraser on the back of the pen! I hope you will be reviewing the 19" version, that looks like the perfect size.

[@oswros]

Great review, Brad. Waiting for the Kamvas pro 19 review.

[@MrZindel123]

mine will be arriving tomorrow. thanks for your huion 27 review. i was waiting for this video for like a 1000 years

[@escapeentropy]

how is it? the wobble slow lines? I want to purchase one myself

[@MrZindel123]

@@escapeentropy I'm ma have to test it thoroughly . Over all right now it's amazing . The touch is great . I spent my time a lot trying to arrange my set up. It's a huge device. It's like falling in love.

[@escapeentropy]

@@MrZindel123 It will take you very little time to do the ruler test with slow lines, just to see if the wobble is minimal, please share with us some picture or short video.

[@MrZindel123]

I dont get the pen wave. In Brand New vid kamvas 19. He stated the wave on 27 disappeared.

[@GREYMATTERVISUALS]

Hey! I know this is a later reply but would you be willing to provide an update on how its working? I just ordered mine, it felt like a gamble because this is pretty much the only video I can find online from a consumer using it. Nervous its not as good as the price tag asks but then again this is my first professional drawing tablet, trying to free myself from the smaller iPad

[@DrewZilla_Art]

love your reviews! Thank you for making these!

[@user-qf8xu7in8x]

I asked 陈瑜璟 who reviewed kamvas pro 27 if there was a jittering problem. And 陈瑜璟 answered "no". I think you need to ask the service center. Looking at it, your kamvas pro 27 has a lot more jittering problem than the kamvas pro 24 you reviewed a few years ago. I'm sure it's defective.

[@SD-oe6vv]

I've experienced jittering with displays connected to Windows-based PCs or laptops. However, the same display connected to a MacOS laptop produces smooth strokes. I encountered this problem with Wacom tablets and Cintiqs, which led me to switch to an iPad Pro for a flawless experience. However, I had to compromise on many levels, including the large-screen experience and the great brush engine that Procreate can't match. I hoped that Apple might release an 18- or 20-inch iPad Pro, but it seems that this is not in their plans at all.

[@JonSnow009]

I have the Huion 2.5k medium pro 16" and I love it. This 27" looks HUGE.

[@mirassama4604]

can u use the slim pen (like the second one in this vid) with the 16" 2.5k?

[@pelakalion]

​ @mirassama4604 Yes, I have that tablet and slim pen and both works well. The touch of slim pen it's slightly different from the original. Maybe you feel better or not. I like the draw of the older one but the material of the new feels more comfortable (doesn't get sweaty)

[@hackareslacksbruh430]

Thanks for reviewing this! Thing I really wanted to know was how the touch on it was. And hearing about the palm rejection with the glove definitely helps to know. Cause I always use the glove anyway.

[@Dragon21Studios]

I have the xp pen 24in one... in a couple of years I might go after this one the 27in. Thanks for the review of it. Now I need to start saving for it 😁

[@mikewade99]

I always enjoy Brad‘s reviews. I value his thought on this equipment. It is great to know that there are drawing tablets that are starting to compete with Wacoms overpriced tablets. I’m looking forward to a review of the 19 inch version of this tablet.

[@wallaceandgromitfan]

Gotta love the glove dance

[@thesevenpens]

Great review as always! Interesting that you found a little diagonal wobble/wave! While testing the Kamvas Pro 19, I wasn't able to see it. But, I'll test again. And also now I'll test it on MacOS and see if that makes a difference.

[@thebradcolbow]

I recently upgraded to the latest MacOS, maybe that effected it?

[@pixelpusher1393]

Yea I was wondering about that because in the 27 review on a Chinese channel I didn't notice it either, so maybe a Mac-driver/hardware specific issue.

[@Draconius1000]

that cool, nice to see tablet compatition

[@cammiluna]

I'm glad we're seeing more big boy pen displays on the market. I considered getting a 24 inch one to connect to my 13 inch laptop, but i went with a 16 inch instead and it's already too big for my table so i hold it on my lap to draw. 😂 I'm gonna need a bigger apartment for anything larger than that!

[@Neri0r]

I got my Kamvas pro 19 ant I think its best size dude

[@escapeentropy]

how is the wobble slow line with ruler test?

[@user-el7of3cz9g]

Do a review of it! Love to hear a user thoughts on the 19”. I’m on the fence about it.

[@escapeentropy]

I did kind of a review on my chanell

[@artbybenjamin]

Great review. I got the Huion 24 Plus a couple of weeks ago. I knew this one was coming, but figured the price would be high and I don't need touch, so I decided to go with the 24" and not wait for this. It looks like a great device, but for the same price I now got a decent size pen display and a new computer to go along with it. A lot of software I use still isn't touch ready. Due to the nature of my work, the 16"I've been using is too small, the larger pen display has impacted my workflow very positively and cut back my working time by a fair percentage. Now 4K would have been nice, but I'm pleasantly surprised that the 2.5k on the 24" looks pretty decent. A size like this needs an arm for sure. It took me 3 days to realize that and got an Ergotron arm for mine. That is such a pleasure to use. I also did get the PW550s pen, I enjoy the thinner one so much more. It's similar to the thinner pen you have, but pen tech 3.0+ instead of 4.0.

[@ishtarxdd]

Ive been using a kamvas pro 16 for a year now and this 27 looks HUGE.

[@VanBurenPhilips]

Looks great. I think the 19 is the one for me.

[@robertmcmanus4646]

Could you compare the Huion 27 to the Xencelabs 24 (that you also reviewed)? They are very close in price and specs but the Xencelabs looks like a more polished device with better peripherals. The big extra feature that Huion has is 10 point touch, which I'm used to on my Surface Pro. Are the Huion 4th gen pens better than Xencelab's? Love your reviews and would really like to see this comparison.

[@exzartwork]

Ahhh big huion with touch. Go to pen display for now. Will wait for xp pen to do it too... love their new pen and feature

[@ichigo1978]

I bought my wacom cintiq 27 touch 2K at this price, I hope you will also review the kamvas pro 19 because this screen size looks really good, neither too big nor too small, especially transportable .

[@Steebve]

As someone whos been using the samsung galaxy tab s9+ i feel the glass with the soft or cloth nib on the s pen feels smoother than the nibs used in regular drawing tablets with the matte texture screen

[@SeeBensketchfanmadevid]

Love your videos

[@skilarbabcock]

This reminds me of how packed Wacom tablets used to he with stuff, and now they selll every single piece seperately now.

[@FPChris]

I like the touch toggle. Sometimes I want it.

[@ray-cedavis2961]

Thank U for video Sir! I have 2 Questions: 1) R the previous Huion pens compatible w/ this display tablet (like the H 24 pro & H Kamvas 22 plus, etc.) 2) What happens if U take a break from working on the Huion Tablet display & U lock/sleep your computer to go to the restroom or eat a hamburger or whatever & then come back to work - does it wake up properly w/ the pen working fine or do U have to turn the tablet off & on again to make the connection work again?

[@FosterYourAffinity]

Brad, I am always watching your reviews! I was wondering; after the release of the Kamvas Pro 19 and 27, I keep seeing Huion ads on instagram etc. They keep showing this desktop stand you can buy that looks really cool. It's like a vesa arm on a heavy base that sits on your desk. I've currently got my Kamvas 22 Plus on a pretty good arm mount, but it wiggles a little. I was wondering if you have considered trying and reviewing the new stand Huion offers. I'm super curious about, and I imagine a lot of others folks are as well. Anyhow, Thank you for the informative videos!

[@AlexAtiq]

this is so tempting, can you try blender on it, and show how the pen presser works while sculpting

[@hazonku]

I bought the 13" 2020 edition and it's great but it's not nearly big enough for my huge Truck-o-saurus steam shovel hands. But then again even my wife had the same issue with the Huion 13" & eventually upgraded to the 24 4K. It's really nice but I was waiting to see what Huion's answer to the Cintiq 32 or 27 might end up being. This might be right up my alley.

[@minth8987]

Yay we got glove dance today

[@lesnacke]

Brad someone has reported with the 19" the RGB sliders in the user adjustable mode gives a fake color tint but doesn't actually change the white point in calibration. Is this the same with the 27?

[@FPChris]

I just ordered the 19 Pro 4k I want to use it as a primary display and wanted the touch screen.

[@jonhanlan]

I wonder if the multi-touch will work on Parallels?

[@madhousenetwork7765]

Brad now that this is 4K, will this be your default drawing tablet?

[@thebradcolbow]

Probably not just because it's so big. i prefer the medium size tablets. Also I do a lot of my sketching away from my desk so the iPad or Galaxy tab tends to be my go-to.

[@chimeron260]

@@thebradcolbowyeah, I have the 22+ and I find even at that size anything I don’t have set to a hotkey is just a tad annoying having to move all the way to the left to click the icons.

[@eddyalvaross2195]

One test that I'd strongly recommend, is to test how stable pressure sensitivity is from the tablet driver. It will allow you to see if the pressure is stable with constant force or not. To do the test : try to apply constant force respectively at the 200th, 500th, 1000th, 4000th, and 7000th pressure levels from the driver.( maintain constant force for at least 3 to 5 seconds per level, if the signal indicators jitters too much, then pressure sensitivity is instable ). So far, all pentech 3.0 and pentech 3.0+ tablets suffer from this problem.

[@escapeentropy]

Brad can you please tell me if wobble is too much on this device?

[@itzxubba-x1872]

what drawing program are you working with good sir?

[@ricardobonilla7529]

[@Arkogelul]

Thanks! Still no rotation detection pens..

[@catsupy]

In such dark and gloomy times, the glove dance gives light! Always look forward to your reviews, this tablet is a monster. I'm actually watching on my ProArt 27in, and daaaang, I couldn't imagine drawing on it??? I mean, I'm not against it at all, but that is literally a canvas...a $2k canvas, but wow. One day I'll upgrade my XP-Pen innovator, but for now it'll have to suffice.

[@vacant35]

Do we know if the 19 is the same product just smaller ?

[@fablewalls]

I had the Dell Canvas 27 inch once - wonderful tablet but too big for my table. Looking at this 27 inch Huion, I'm wondering about replacing the table instead.....

[@user-jp5ov4fm4h]

I seriously compared the Xencelabs 24 and the Huion Kamvas Pro 27, and finally I bought the Xencelabs 24, but even now I still wonder if I made the right choice? I don’t have the additional budget to buy the Huion Kamvas Pro 27, but I would like to know which of the two has a better user experience.

[@danilov4730]

Hi Brand and follower, I'm writing to you because I need your advice on purchasing a new pen display. I just sold my Cintiq Pro 16 because it was too small for working on ZBrush and Substance Painter. Within my budget, I could afford either this Kamvas Pro 27 or a Cintiq Pro 24. What do you recommend, considering that I'll primarily be using it for sculpting and texturing? Thanks a lot, Danilo.

[@thedabblingwarlock]

Another alternative to Wacom's Cintiq is the Xencelabs Pen Display. It's a 24 inch instead of a 27 inch, but it's also a $100 cheaper. It looks like it has a lot of the same features, so I wonder how it would compare.

[@crowserainance]

Hi Brad, could you do the Samsung Ultra S24 series? there's a promo where I'm at right now and you're the only artist I rely on for these tech reviews ♥

[@Oliver-gammarART]

Would you recommend the new Huron 27 Pro (or the smaller 19 Pro) over the Xencelabs 24 Pen Display? My Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 really annoys me with its noisy fan (even in quite mode) all day long and I think about a switch to one of the competition models without any fans.

[@nightwalkerj]

This is very nice but I think their last gen model (24" 4k) is a good balance between features, price and size. Touch is nice but if you're a sculptor, you'll most likely end up using your keyboard anyways. Plus the screen texture on their 24 inch feels really nice.

[@airixxxx]

This also doesn't have a fan, something the double priced Wacom models are still plagued with.

[@otherminds13]

Magnificent. I have been waiting for this review. I currently own the Huion 24 pro (4k). Does the extra size justify the upgrade?

[@thierrybezier]

same here, but I know I won't I don't have enough office space! it's perfect size for photo retouching!

[@mild_r3d]

I purchased that too, I feel curious about this new one, but tbh I'm more than satisfied with my current pen display.

I think Huion or XP Pen should make a really good and more affordable mount for the larger displays. I loved the old cintiq HD mounts with the trigger flaps. Monitor arms are a bit more tricky.

[@lesnacke]

they already do bro they make huion st100 stands and xp pen 24 has one. works fine

can you compare it with pro 19 as well ?

[@sickpencilart6635]

okay I reconsidered buying this but I feel like 60 hz might bug me a little considering iPad Pro m1 is 120 hz....guess I gotta go Wacom.

[@joachimb5721]

What I learned from drawing on a 24“ Cintiq for mote than 10 years is: it is so much nicer to draw on 13“ to 16“ sized screens. I have bought the 24“ because I thought that bigger is always better but I was wrong. Use a 27“ screen and a 13“ drawing tablet as a second screen. Or use a tablet, like the iPad Pro. Those are easy to hold, you can move over to the sofa instead of being glued to the desk.

[@redkingrauri3769]

That's funny cuz I have the opposite feel. I had a 13hd and 24hd and always preferred the bigger screen. I like big pen strokes, the vibrancy and the sense of control.

Can't you check the Huion website yourself? Yes, they have same tablet in 19" size too.

[@stevenpike7857]

Should be 5k at this size. The 24" is QLED and a far better DPI since it has the same resolution. If it's going to be twice the price of the 24" QLED, then it should have the same DPI and QLED as the 24"

[@donbartolo1243]

Hello! :) I know it's not a big deal for a lot of people, but i am so used to the Ipad Pro that I can't stand distance between pentip and stroke anymore (because of glass/coating thickness). When i see reviews of the new Cintiq pro's, they seem to have resolved that issue. Alas i saw also a review of the Huion Kamvas Pro 19 where a distance seems noticable. Can you please confirm this? Thanks in advance :)

[@PopArtem]

I just bought Kamvas 19, distance looks like 1 mm, also curious how much on new cintiq, I have read that 0.5mm more then on ipad, so I guess it's inbetween ipad and Kamvas. Maybe I also should return Kamvas and go for cintiq

[@donbartolo1243]

@@PopArtem Great thanks for the reply, Popartem! Yes, as crazy as it sounds if there is still that distance, i prefere to wait for a future Ipad Pro 12.9 (i still got a 2018 10.5 but still working great, even animation on Clipstudio Pro with 100 of layers) or for a Cintiq Pro 22". For People drawing more than 5 hours in a row, the new stand of the Cintiq kills it in ergonomics. But sooooo expensive. ^^;

[@LadyBlair.LovesManga]

I have the hiuon kamvas 22 and i can't imagine having anything bigger then that. My arm will actually start to hurt at times from drawing on that huge space. I mean, you basically are just excersing your arm at that point.

[@nassirabdu84]

Hi Being a creative professional, do you see there is a huge difference between the 8k pressure levels and the 16k pressure levels, or is the difference insignificant and negligible? And here I am asking about the difference between the pressure levels between the Huion Camvas pro 27 pen and the Xencelabs Pen Display 24 pen ?

[@exzartwork]

the pressure is not the issue when it hits more than 2000 levels… the problem is the stability of the pen… if it still wobbly, you will find it annoying to draw with that pen… you can check which one is better in line test…

Same. If you need procreate go with ipad. If not, samsung is superb too. Depends on your ecosistem you use. If you use mac and iphone go with ipad will be better. But if you use pc and android, samsung is better

[@Devil_Himself]

get the samsung s6 lite and all the accesories with it. that would be better and would cost more or less the same

[@AtomekKotalke]

Depends on the applications you want to use. I think iPad is still superior especially with Procreate and few other pro applications for animation or ArtStudio for example. Apple Pencil also feels more comfortable to hold and draw with in my opinion.

[@chizurumizuhara1920]

Yup. That's the confusion. Currently I use "infinite paint" app on Android for all the drawings and wanted to know what should be the right step to be taken.

[@anasevi9456]

If Huion still served the value and the refinement top to bottom, but wisely segmented by price; Wacom would be spinning on fumes within a few years. XP-Pen seems to be doing that better overall; even if I think Huion does high end better.

[@redkingrauri3769]

I like that huion released this right after Wacom got in hot water for using terrible AI art dragons for their sale promo. Perfect timing. Been using a 24HD for almost 10 years now. This is probably gonna be my next tablet if Xencelabs doesn't release a 27". My big hope is they release a stand for it akin to the ergo stand for the 24 and 32 pro. I like that one and it's attached to my 24HD. Might try making a mod for it to convert the stand to a vesa mount.

[@vrijegeest512]

Weird that Rec.709 costs so much extra with Wacom. Because it's almost the same as sRGB colorspace wise and much less accurate than AdobeRGB or DCI P3. So if this screen does AdobeRGB for 98% it could easily do Rec.709

Brad, That tablet glove dance has to go! Whenever my wife sees me with one of those gloves on, she is grossed out and won't get near me for HOURS. BTW, in answer to one person's question, "So, which display tablet do you use?" For me, now that Wacom has solved some serious driver issues on the Mac several months ago, I am 100% behind the Cintiq Pro 17 or 27. Couldn't be happier (even though they are expensive, which hopefully should be a write-off for creative professionals). Ken

[@the_nessart]

Got to be disappointed that the touch does not work with Mac. Otherwise this would have been my go to drawing display. For my use 27" is about the optimal size, I've been waiting for Huion to release this size. But touch not working for me is a huge minus. If that doesn't change, I would probably just choose to save 1000€ and go for the 24", even with all the other advantages this would give me. Why would I pay for touch screen if I can't use it. Wacom 27 is not an option as it is way too expensive for me. If I could get a non-touch version of this with something like 400€ off the price, I'd take it, but paying 2000+€ for touch screen, seems mental if the touch doesn't actually work.

Unless you're using this in a professional setting where your workspace is purpose built to host something like this, this thing is much too big. I've been using a Cintiq 20WSX for twenty years any that thing pushed the bounds of what makes sense for a hobbyist with a multi-purpose desk. Ordered a Huion Pro 16 2.5k yesterday and I'm honestly stoked to have it and all the unused space back.
