I’ve watched over about 20 drawing tablet videos in the last week, however you are the first one to actually explain how the tablet works vs you just liking it for whatever personal preferences. Thank you

[@angievalle4677]

Great review as always and also I really like your background it gives a really nice warm ambient feeling

[@amt6307]

I have the small version of this, the kamvas 13 and is a bomb, very precise, pen and lines are awesome, everything is awesome.

[@dookietoon7198]

im an animator and have been using an xp pen 15.6 pro for a little over 2 years i believe... and its worked great but i wanted to move to something bigger . my kamvas 22 plus came in yesterday and its amazing !!! huge upgrade over the xp pen. the 22 plus has less parallax (nearly none) then the xp pen , but the biggest thing i noticed is the pen. the pen this 22 plus came with is way better then the xp pens one. i got alot of wobble with the xp pens pen and the tapers were not nearly as nice. also the xp pen tip depressed alot compared to this one the 22 plus has a way stiffer pen tip. it went beyond my expectations and i couldnt be more thrilled with this purchase.

[@AccelSternritter]

That sounds great. Mind if i ask about the screen? Do i need to use a film protector or it's not necessary? The 22Plus says that it's fully laminated so i'm not sure. If i get this tablet i don't want to leave any scratches on it by just using it daily. Hope you see this comment and thank you in advance.

[@neothespankplank5839]

@@AccelSternritter hey, late reply, but the Plus and Pro models come with an etched glass, and scratching it is pretty much impossible (at least for me, I'm a rather light-handed artist). The Kamvas 22 (non plus or pro) only has a matte screen film glued on top, just as the Wacom Cintiq 22, and these tend to get scratched pretty quickly. I have my 24 Plus for 6-7 Months now for heavy duty on a daily basis, and it pretty much looks like it just came fresh out of the box

I was gonna go with the Kamvas Pro 16, but then I saw this for a similar price and after watching your review, I'm pretty much sold on this.

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

I can't wait to get me one of these!

[@TheHorlord]

You're slightly downplaying just how good the display is on this one, it has quantum tip technology and a whopping 140% srgb colour gamut and 1200:1 contrast ratio. The colours are vivid and the blacks are very black. Its the best display ive ever seen on a display tablet

[@danacraft-parker104]

This screen seems beautiful - if you have this device can you speak to the 1080p resolution at all? Are the pixels super apparent and does it detract from your working with the product? Thanks!!!

[@TheHorlord]

@@danacraft-parker104 You will see the pixels if you lean in looking for them, but it takes concentration to see them and you wont notice them while working. Your brain actually blocks out information like that quite well.

[@danacraft-parker104]

@TheHorlord thank you! I’m having a heck of a time deciding between the 22 plus and the pro 24... I figured it would come down to Black Friday and screen resolution. (The 22 plus frankly has a bit better design in my opinion after watching all the reviews... no side buttons isn’t a deal breaker for me, the less components... the fewer things that can break. Plus, that pro 24 looks like a monster - so many inches from edge to working screen.) My general sense from comments is that the 1080p - looks very good on this screen.

[@TheHorlord]

@@danacraft-parker104 Yeah, Ive been very happy with mine. I use a koolertron mini keyboard under my left hand while I work, so it has all the shortcut keys I need

[@daveblue4303]

I'm thinking of buying this tablet, do you have any problems with it and would you recommend buying this one?

[@MageThief]

Oh I like how Huion have stepped up their game, this one looks really interesting. Maybe they will come out with a 24/27 inch version of this with higher resolution.

[@jon1580]

They did, it's called Kamvas 24 pro and it's 2.5 K in resolution

[@tsorakin]

I think this pen display is the best i've seen yet, outside of Wacom. The initial activation rate is lovely. That's something i've waited years for Cintiq alternatives to catch up with and it's finally here. I've had this display for a few weeks now and I adore this thing. I've tested Cintiq's that were not this good. Older models i'll admit, but still more expensive to this day. So I highly recommend it for the performance and price. Brad wasn't as enthusiastic about it as I hoped, but i think it's fantastic.

[@craigshuttlewood3971]

Good to hear as I have one on order! I was also secretly hoping Brad would be crazy enthusiastic but he was very positive overall.

[@zalaj9746]

Hey I am currently thorn between this one and Wacom cintiq 16. Basically the same price but I have my hesitation on Huion as they say the resolution is too low for this size screen. How is your experience regarding that issue? How obvious are the pixels really?

[@craigshuttlewood3971]

@@zalaj9746 I have been using the 22 Plus for a week now and it's very nice to use. Pen feels great, colours are great too. The resolution is not too low for me, Im a professional illustrator and it suits me just fine but you have to decide that for yourself. Depends what you are used to and if coming from a higher resolution screen. For the money it's brilliant. If you want or need more then you have to spend more.

I'm drawing European comics since 13 years now. I worked with 1 cintiq 12WX, 2 XP-Pen 22, 1 XP-Pen 24Pro and since 1 year, with the Kamvas 22 Plus. Great Graphic Display. Just 1 thing: The button for the adjusting stand broke yesterday (...when I look at the tiny broken part, I understood why it happened) But even with this slight default, this is my favorite graphic display until now. The texture of the surface is great, so little parallax; Great tool!!!

It holds up really well. My only problem is that the pen does sometimes glitch. After I use the pen for a while the pen nib pushes down and just creates lines without me pushing it down. But the display is great.

[@dystopiaproject]

@@mjolk1681 thank you bro! Thank you so much for your fast answer! Do you think the problem with the pen is a driver problem and can be fixed in the future? Also, would you recommend this tablet over a cintiq 22 HD (no touch no pro) ?

[@mjolk1681]

@@dystopiaproject I think the problem with the pen started when I removed the nib and put it back in. So if you get one don't remove the nib unless you have to. And if i recommend this over a cintiq I just don't know. I wasnt researching this a for a while but i found the huion company. And just as i was thinking about getting a pen display huion had a presale on the kamvas 22 so it was only 499$. I think it just depends on your budget and prefrence. I think this display is good enough and it satifies my needs but if you want a more premium expirience the wacom is probably better

hi! I'm just wondering, is the color blue really seems a bit tinted like cool blue? can't seem to fix it. same device

[@LAMProductions99]

Great review as always! Just was wondering, is that the same USB-C cable that fits in the Kamvas 13?

[@Zyraelify]

Hey Brad, Did Huion manage to fix the parallax that used to be present only near the corners of the screen? This issue was very prevalent in Kamvas pro 13 and 12, There would be no paralax in the center of the screen, but it would get bigger the closer to the edge you went. I even remember you mentioning it before on different tablets.

[@rizkydharma8373]

I gotta say, out of all the huion device, this screen looks beautiful

[@brittnidraws]

Thanks for the informative videos on tablets - i've been using the cintiq27qhd since feb 2016 and it died a few days ago after 7 years of faithful service. i'm so lost on where to begin for looking for a new tablet - when i got my cintiq huions were around but not nearly as good as they are now, wacom is my main brand but i'm so ready to switch to huion. I dont want to miss out on the size as i'm soooo used to bigger displays. This video really sold me - that and your video on the huion pro 16. I think i'll go for this one - i dont want to lose out on size lol

[@rockchen9026]

Hello 😄 May I ask have you made the decision to buy it yet? And if so, how is your feeling about it ? 🙂 I bought my CIntiq 27 QHD in Summer 2016, it's still working, but due to its age, I am also start to looking for potential replacement, and so far it seems both the Kamvas 22 Plus and Kamvas RDS-220 (1440p ver.) will be good choices and offer great price-performance ratio.

[@DarkHarpuia]

This is legit perfect for me, because I want a screen tablet but I have no use for shortcuts on the tablet itself, since I always use keyboard shortcuts. I'm def gonna look into getting this one.

[@sliceofchilli]

I have this but my colors are sooo off from how it look on my mac and its so hard to color in anything... Feels like I am doing it blindly cause I dont know what the result will look like once I am done. Does anyone know what settings to use to fix this? Or does anyone have the same issue?
