The HUION 2020 Kamvas 22 Plus | 6 month later : Still Worth It 🤔🤔

[@TheArtofKAS]

Be sure to ask all your burning questions everyone. I'll get to them as fast as I can. Enjoy your new tablet. 👌

[@Lintu-Lady]

I'm thinking about switching to Huion as my Cintiq 16 is dying and I've got to say your reviews on this spesific one have been the best reviews I've found!! You've really helped me decide to give Huion a try with the Kamvas plus 22!

[@TheArtofKAS]

Glad to hear! Hope you enjoy it and make all the cool stuff with it! Sorry to hear about your cintiq though.

Hi, did you use a protective film? Do you still have scratches on the screen after 6 months?

[@TheArtofKAS]

Hey hey., I never used any protective film on the tablet. I'm pretty sure it came with one in the Box for shipping reasons. But because the tablet has a laminated display, it makes it extremely difficult for it to have scratches. The only way that you would get scratches is that you draw extremely hard or your cat with scratch it basically😂 After all this time the only thing is that I actually have on the tablet screen is smudges. And that's honestly from me forgetting to use the smudge guard glove that comes with the tablet whenever I draw sometimes.

Thanx for the review, I have it on my cart 🙂 still doing some research, initially I wanted the xp pen innovator 🤭 here is my question, which brand do you recommend? And is there a budget friendly tablet that can be used with out a computer? THANK YOU 😊

[@TheArtofKAS]

Glad you appreciate the review. Currently I don't really recommend any brand. I recommend the tablet that you like the best. I know it sounds cheezy Currently I can't think of any budget-friendly tablet that you can use without a computer other than a Samsung tablet that I forgot the name of. 😂

[@thecraftguy21]

@@TheArtofKAS thank you, I'm new to this and it's kinda overwhelming with so many products out there lol 😆

[@TheArtofKAS]

@@thecraftguy21 it's perfectly fine to be fresh. The main piece of advice that I always give people is to limit your options for your first drawing tablet so that you don't get overwhelmed. I talked a lot about the Paradox of choice and some of my video simply because of this thing right here. There's so many products out there that do the same thing or do something slightly better than the other thing but are kind of bad in another piece of thing. And it always makes me laugh when people try to figure out which one is the best. But take your time and your search my friend and if anything, you can narrow down your search to just this tablet and the XP pen tablet that you were looking for. And in another year or three you can upgrade to another one like I did with this tablet. Hope that helps

[@DAC_AMD]

For a begginer who wants a good tablet to start with, is Kamvas 22Plus better then Wacom Cintiq 16? În terms of performance, then the diagonal. Thanks.

[@TheArtofKAS]

From the perspective of comparing the two, both tablets actually seem to be very similar in quite a few regards. But because I haven't used the cintiq 16 I can't tell you anything definitively. But if you're very interested in the cintiq, I would recommend that you get it simply because it looks like both tablets have a very similar price point with a difference maybe being about $100.

[@coletteartsz3966]

Hewoooo, i just bought mine yesterday and i think its kinda saturated. Perhaps. Since im an illustrator, i want the colors to be precise, or in short wont look different especially when i post it XD. Do you have any recommended settings?

[@TheArtofKAS]

My many recommendations for the saturation are kind of the same as I said in another comment. I recommend you keep everything between 45 and 60 period that goes especially for the Hue and the saturation. For those two in particular you might want to play with them to get the best for you. Since you're an illustrator, you might want to have them a little higher. At the end of the day it is up to you though. Brightness 51 contrast 56 Hue 57 saturation 50-62 and color temperature at 6000k. Those are my best recommendations there but I change a lot of these every time I use my tablet just because every time I use it it's for something different. Hope that helps. 😁

Huion scammed me. I have a 22 that won't connect and the company won't take returns. Buyer beware.

[@TheArtofKAS]

Sorry to hear that my friend, this is the first time I've ever heard of something like that though. What do you mean that it won't connect? Are the cables not compatible with the tablet? I will say though that they are hard to get in contact with when you do have a problem. I tried to get in contact with them about a replacement pen and they still haven't returned any of my messages. I got mine off of Amazon and not from the official website. Hopefully you might be able to get a refund but I don't know what your situation is fully.

Hello, I just purchase my kamvas 22 plus, and if I adjust the backlight to about 50, its too bright for me... any solutions? Thank you and Happy New Year !

[@TheArtofKAS]

That can be tricky my friend, my main recomentation is for you to play with your brightness, contrast and the backlight al together to see what is best for your eyes. I usually keep my backlight to 50 or over 45. I responded to a similar question earlier with the same thing. I hope that helps. Also you could also try balancing the lighting in your room or the room where you have your tablet.

[@TheArtofKAS]

@@Vivid_art_visions_art I actually had a problem with that exact same thing for my tablet and I put it in the tablet review. The main thing that I ended up having to do was to uninstall the Wacom drivers and huion drivers and make sure that the huion drivers were fully up-to-date. After that you may have to play with the pin Touch settings for your tablet for a few minutes. If I had kept that whole situation in the video my review would have been 4 plus hours long. That Parallax issue is so ridiculous when it comes to a lot of pallet and I have no idea how the situation starts in the first place

[@miha3791]

Hey I am getting in industrial design and I will have to buy a graphic tablet. My budget is around 700€ and I’ve been looking at this one. What do you suggest?

[@TheArtofKAS]

Nice nice nice. One of the first things I always ask is what your budget is. But since you told me, I think you might like this tablet. If you're getting straight into the digital space with a drawing tablet oh, this one is going to work for you. And after you get this one you should have some more money left over to buy some art programs like clip Studio paint or photoshop or even an entire Adobe subscription so you can get access to all the apps to help you get going. If you've been looking at this tablet for however long, it's definitely time to buy if you really need it. Plus depending on your size or type of clientele, the tablet might pay for itself within a few months if not one month🤣

My second video and its good to see artist that looks like my uncle. So I'm already a fan and here to stay. And it was good to see you use ipad. I am like two types of people in one. On one hand I didnt care anything about apple until realizing I may need one to do all the things i want in one unit which is animation 2D and 3D, children books, gaming FPS etc. On the other hand I wanted to start cheaper but at the same time wanting to start higher just to not regret. I edit prisoners stories and my job will be to create visuals and format them for presentation. Trying to take it easy on myself choosing a device even if I have to compromise gaming for the greater good to get the work out. Also i know i beat myself up on the decision to avoid the worst learning curve. If only i could afford to hire someone to just sit a ready to draw device in front me I would literally draw them into a new tax bracket.

[@TheArtofKAS]

Well that's quite a bit to take in. But I do see your concern. I already have two videos in the making talkin about buyer's remorse and making sure you buy the right product for the right job. It's such a hard decision to make when we have so many options out there but I am here to tell you that you are going to make the right decision regurdless.

And it doesn't work on my chromebook. Which I figured but was counting on her new computer. So like normal for me my first choice is always a lesson and an opportunity to do real research lol. I wasn't thinking about buying one anytime soon until like I said it jumped lol. But after research Gaomon or whatever looks promising but I do want a all in one like your iPad or surface pro 8 since I am prepping smaller these days.

i use my shoulder/ arm for drawing, working with long gestural lines, i am confused between this 22 inch and 24 inch tablet? can you suggest which one should i buy?

[@TheArtofKAS]

Since you get a better range of motion with your shoulder, both a 22 inch and a 24 inch should work well for you. If you really need a lot of screen real-estate, a 24 inch might be the why to go. But if you like to draw fast and don't like gliding your hand across the screen all the time, this tablet will definitely work for you. But in the end, I don't know thst much of what you need so this as far as I can say. I hope you enjoy either choice my friend, 👍

[@dman3d]

Is there any color/pixel distortion due to the matte surface? I had a Kamvas 20 2019 model and could not stand the screen. Only the center of where you were looking was accurate. As the angle of view increased the matte surface began occluding the pixels to a degree distorting/ringing pixels. So there was only really 4 to 6 inches of view at any given spot that looked accurate. So it was not like a monitor where brightness/color/contrast were consistent over the entire surface.

[@TheArtofKAS]

That sounds like the worst experience you could ever have for a screen in general. I will say that it does not occur with this tablet. But that's something that I never actually noticed. When I give it some thought though, the only thing that could even be close to what you're describing is when I have my lights ain't that me and sometime the lights behind me will be aimed at the tablet and I would get glare from the light behind me onto the tablet. Because of the tablet's laminated screen, it doesn't hurt the drawing experience and all I would have to do is move the light away.

[@dman3d]

@@TheArtofKAS Thanks for the info. I was really surprised for that model I had no one mentioned it. Could not understand how it would not annoy everyone. Sounds like I can take a look at this model with a little more confidence. Thanks so much for the review and reply.

Does the screen show scratches from using the pen?

[@TheArtofKAS]

Not from what I've seen so far. It's actually very difficult to scratch the screen from normal everyday use. The only time I've ever seen anything close to a scratch was when I got my glove wet and the moisture from the glove got on the screen and the screen look like it was discolored and that way that you would see a scratch. I wiped it off and everything was fine afterwards. I want to assume it's scratch-resistant because of the laminated coating on the front of it. And I want to think that there are multiple layers of coating to keep the scratches from showing up. unless you just take a knife to it🙄🤣

@@rhajandre707 for myself it wasn't too difficult to calibrate the tablet for my laptop. It took a minute to calibrate the PIN to get it where I needed to get it but that was probably because I had different drivers going at the same time. In regards to color calibration, I ended up setting everything at the base levels and I will occasionally turn up the backlight at turn up the saturation or turn down both of them if I ever need to to make sure I have the right settings for whatever piece I'm working on.

[@markfrance385]

I have Kamvas 22 plus and with my windows 10 pc it is oversaturated. Can you share with us the particular setting you chose on OSD menu? Like the RGB numbers, contrast, backlit you name it. They say windows 10 doesn’t support the wide color gamut of Kamvas 22 plus that’s why colors on its display are not behaving properly. Is that true? I use Clip Studio Paint. Great video by the way.

[@TheArtofKAS]

Mine was oversaturated for a while as well the main settings that you are going to end up needing the change are the backlight. I keep my backlight about 44 my brightness at about 47 and my contrasted about 47 as well. And I keep my hue and saturation both at about 51. If your tablet is oversaturated these are the two that you want to make sure are balanced out if you balance the hue and the saturation and control your backlight to the best settings that you want you should be fine.
