Glad to see, after so many years, since alternatives starting popping up. They have now finally reached at a point, where you can actually argue picking up these alternatives, without too much worry. And compared to a few years ago, these are far far better now. On the other hand, we also have Apple's Ipad line with Apple pencil, which at times can give you the whole package for not a too bad price. Along with Wacom, finally making better options themselves, although still pricey AF in the top tier line. Other than that, great times really, no longer are we stuck on only one company for good drawing experience. Especially with cheaper laminated screens starting to pop out, we can finally get those too! Low parallax and more precision. Nice!

Khalid Sharaf El-din businesses everywhere will buy Wacom. It was only a few years ago they had 80% of the global market. Even if it’s not that high anymore, they are still by far the biggest player in the game and STILL every drawing pen display gets compared to wacom. When companies start buying Huion then Wacom will be worried but that seems a long way off still.

[@daisies667]

Chris_The_Onion so do you recommend getting a wacom display or a huion?

[@BlackNomad1]

fuckyoumorgy hands down I would pay the extra for the Wacom tech. A lot of the issues that arise happen a few years down the road. When your computer gets updates etc. The Wacom offers better stability down the line. Not just with software either, the hardware tends to be better quality and lasts a long time too.

to anyone who wants to know, huion actually does sell a "USB-C to USB-C" cable made specifically for the Kamvas 13! its one of the optional accessories you can add to your order when u buy from their store, right next to the optional stand! its like ten bucks, i think, so no more sanding required lol. uh, downside to buying all the accessories tho is that whatever section is in charge of packaging has decided to include a free drawing glove with every accessory? i ended up with three gloves that just kind of. exist, now. in a drawer.

[@Chonkeeartist9001]

I've been skeptic about Huion all this time due to its many limitations during its early years in the business, particularly to their pen technology and software compatibility and I was convinced Wacom can at least get away with their outrageous pricing schemes because of that. Fast forward to 10 years and now Huion has narrowed down the gap significantly. They now have a vast variety of good quality products at competitive prices, which makes any Wacom tablet criminally expensive. Heck I could even get a good medium size pen tablet from Huion at a fraction of the price Wacom are offering for the medium Intuos Pro. It's getting difficult to recommend them with each year while Huion, (and even another digitizer company XP-Pen) is continuosly improving. Many would argue that Wacom tablets have more features like bluetooth and touch but in my experience thru working with Wacom devices for the past 8 years is that I hardly even use any of them, and sometimes I never use them entirely and they still charge a premium over those novelty features. It's great that we finally now have alternatives we can consider.

So before the pen even touched the tablet it was drawing. I looked up videos and people said they fixed that by contacting Huion, So I decided to contact Huion. They wanted me to BUY another pen even though the pen i brought with the tablet only worked once. It didn't even last a week. Very disappointed in Huion that my $30 Unknown brand graphic tablet worked better than a fricken $400 Huion DISPLAY tablet.

This disconnection problem with the 13 inch kamvas seems to be a big issue. you can find a lot of people on the reddit talking about having problems with it. i was probably one of the few unlucky ones who got a faulty one. but i do warn potential customers that this could happen to yours, it also might not but, the fact my partner, and one of my friends who owned a huion had issues with it. huion doesn't seem all that reliable. for the record i don't think wacom is that great either. but you might want to do some research into all the main issues the tablet brands seem to suffer from before purchasing.

I had got a Huion Kamvas 13 but then refunded it and got a Wacom One instead as I was having display issues with it and the instructions for the Huion were confusing for me to follow. It was my very first pen screen display tablet so you could imagine I had no idea what I was really doing in the first place. Huion didn't seem to explain well enough. When I got Wacom one it provided more clearer instructions for me even provided a video. Overall, nothing will probably change my mind from a Wacom. It will always be the one I end up with. My former tablet was a Wacom Bamboo tablet and it lasted for a long time, still working. People can make fuss about Wacom but it will probably always beat out these other tablet competitors, at least for now. Wacom is more durable and more art program friendly. It also professionally reccommended.

The Kamvas 13 is almost unusable with android (s20 Ultra), my Wacom works great and even has pen support. Where the Kamvas doesn't use pen pressure and acts as a mouse. You do need additional cables for both devices to use Android! Also i use a battery bank for the Wacom 1 and it works great. The buttons on the Kamvas are also a joke, that was another reason I wanted it, but they stick supper easily and then your device just freaks out. As far as hooked up to a computer goes, they both work great. However Wacom software is better and more customizable. I prefer the Wacom pen, the buttons on it don't feel as cheap, and it is a bit smaller which feels better in my hand.

[@SnowblindOtter]

1: Everyone's personal experience will differ, and from what I've seen Brad focuses on the hardware aspect because that's where everything hits the road. Drivers can be patched, a crappy piece of hardware can't.. If nobody is talking about it, it may be isolated or rare enough that the reviewers haven't experienced it. Huion drivers are well-known for having driver issues, but I've personally never heard of defective cables from Huion. From XP-Pen? Sure, but I get my feed mixed in with furry artists a lot on Twitter, and I haven't seen any significant issue with cables from Huion tablets ever. You just might be very bad at doing your homework before buying a product, you should get better at that. There's no excuse in today's world to ever make an uninformed purchase... and if you want a real issue with drivers, maybe you should turn the critical lens on Wacom drivers as well. They may be nice, but it's been discovered this year that Wacom drivers are collecting a lot of information on your computers, and in some cases without your consent. Details can be found here: robertheaton.com/2020/02/05/wacom-drawing-tablets-track-name-of-every-application-you-open/ 2: You have absolutely no understanding of the difference between a Sponsorship and a Review Item... he's being sponsored by Squarespace, they paid him for the promotion half-way through the video. While this whole video serves as a more-or-less free advertisement for both Wacom and Huion's products, they didn't pay him for either of these in any way other than shipping him some free stuff so long as he's being honest. All they want is for him to play with it and share his thoughts. Cases like this where he's able to keep the product are the exception to the rule, however, most of the time a company will want the product they send you shipped back after a certain amount of time. It's also important to remember that a lot of reviewers who claim to purchase things out of their own pocket are lying through their teeth to keep their reputation up with their large audiences, and were actually paid under the table by the company of the product they're reviewing to not only say they bought it themselves but also _not_ disclose that the company paid them to give a positive review. 3: The system requirements would be good, you have that, it would be quick to throw into his video and it wouldn't take anything away, but at the same time you'd have to be an idiot to not realize that all of these tablets will work well enough on your fairly average notebook no problem. Virtually any computer made after 2010 will happily use these devices. Hell, I used to draw with a Wacom Bamboo and Intuos Medium on an HP Mini from 2007 running Win7 Starter, and my only limitation was the 1.2gHz processor and half a Gig of RAM that couldn't run Photoshop properly, but before I wiped the damn thing for a friend it easily worked well with my 2019 XP-Pen 15.6 display. If your computer can run a USB mouse, it can run the tablet, it's your responsibility to make sure the drivers are compatible; that being said, you can go out to Walmart and get a 400 dollar laptop and start drawing right away with a plug-in tablet. Though, you can shove right off about battery mileage and specifics and your promise that "Mac users aren't getting all the details.". Any Mac user with half a brain in their skull knows that they have to check the specifications of any product they want to buy for their machine _before_ the put up for it, and anyone who doesn't do that is a moron. On a more directly inflammatory note, virtually nobody uses Mac for art anyways compared to Windows. Sure, Huion does account for Mac and Linux in their drivers, but the vast majority of art programs and drivers for hardware either aren't coded for Mac at all, or don't work on them properly(case in point: Photoshop. It's NEVER worked properly on Mac, that's been common knowledge for like 15 years.). If you're doing art on a Mac, you got short-changed by whoever gave you that computer dude. As far as battery life goes, too many variables. Battery mileage will depend on many factors; the computer brand and model, the tablet model, how many applications you have running, how heavy those applications are(some drawing programs are lighter than others.), what your power settings are, how many devices you have plugged in, what hardware is mounted to your motherboard, how bright your screen is, and even how well your battery was made before it was shipped out of the factory.

Brad, just ran into another video about the Kamvas 13 (and 12) being able to run as a pen tablet! Just curious about wether you knew or didn't think it was worth touching on. Jjust thought that was an amazing feature since the Intuos Pro Small is the same price as the Kamvas 13 and doesn't have a screen to draw on.

Wacom have always priced their stuff like Apple. Fortunately the old tablets at least, were bulletproof. I'm still using an old Intuos 2, previously an old pre-USB Wacom ArtPad II lol . Thinking it's time for an upgrade, which is why I ended up here :) Thanks for the info. I think I will be getting a Huion since I still mostly do traditional art as much as I can, but feel a modern tablet might make digital art a little more fun.

The Huion line is pretty durable imo. I have had one drawing tablet and I display tablet from them in my entire time of drawing for 4 years and they both still work just fine. For Wacom however, I can't really speak for them as I'm too broke to afford any of their products lmao

Would be great comparing a non-display vs display drawing tablets. I've been using Wacom non-display drawing tablets for more than 25 years and is hard to imagine what would be the advantages of display drawing tablets. If the display tablet will be used with a laptop or a computer with a monitor I don't see any advantage of the display tablet unless its screen is larger or with higher resolution than the screen of the laptop or computer monitor.

Graphic tablet: Between a ~$300 Wacom Intuos and $76 Huion H610 Pro, you can clearly see the economic advantage. For that money, I can't complain about the minor differences like the feel of the surface. Wacom feels more paper-like. Huion is still really slippery and plastic but it's not a big deal, again, for the price. I was surprise how easy Huion driver went in my computer and stayed stable for a couple years. Wacom drivers have given much more trouble. Huion pens are more stable and cheap, too. But when talking about pen display or pen computer: Wacom still beat Huion on the quality of the screen. From an artist point of view, the paper feel and color quality are more important. Especially, when you tilt the display, there's less color change on the wacom screen. Both Xpen and Huion have prominent color distortion when being tilted. Anyway, this is my experiences with them years ago. Things may change. I'm still using Wacom as my main device and Huion as a sub that I can care-freely carry around without getting a heart attack even when a butterfly lands on the screen.

Does the Huion track pen tilt reliably? Sometimes those cheaper alternatives, like the XP Pen Artist 12 Pro, would not track tilt angle when the pen is within an inch from the screen edges. I wonder if Huion pen display does that too.

Great review and comparisons! Honestly the emphasis on how both weren't recommended for Android drawing is very needed (especially both models have it as a selling point). If you don't mind recommendations, I'd love to see Wacom Cintiq 22 vs XP-PEN 22R Pro, maybe with Kamvas Pro 22 too because I still wonder if its worth giving up Huion's laminated screen for either of these models.

Waiting *TOUCH*-pen display from huion ...

[@zarkozi]

I had Huion 13 pro for years. And now I managed to get Wacom One for really cheap. I must say, I like Wacom better. It feels like a quality product. It's sturdy. The feel of pencil drawing on the screen is better. The hand on the screen feels like drawing on paper. Its much less prone to fingerprints and it doesnt need a glove. The thing I don't like compared to Huion. - the pen. It has only one function button, and it clicks on the top of the button which is really hard to reach. I always used bottom part on Huions and it worked well.

[@thekidstm5467]

You need more attention! You’re the best

[@17curiosity17]

Tbh the "shortcut" category goes to Wacom too for me, simply because they have the Wacom On-Screen Controls. I find it soo uncomfortable having to have my left hand on the device the entire time (esp. on a 13"), I much prefer something like the Expresskey remote or just use the On-Screen Controls with my pen (or touch on my Cintiq). They're customizable as you wish, you directly see which button holds which function and you can move them wherever on the screen, so the OSCs are a huuuge plus for me. They're way too underrated!!

[@bendecaf]

I'm a total painting newbie and I picked up a Kamvas 13 at the end of last year. I am unfortunately unhappy with it for the following reasons: 1) the calibration does not seem to work properly. It is off by a few millimeters and differently at every place on the screen. For example, at the left edge, cursor might be below a little under the tip and at the right edge the cursor might be at the top right of the tip by a few millimeters. Is this something more experienced artists just deal with and compensate for? I'm wondering about that as this is almost never touched on in the reviews. 2) I really dislike the material covering the screen. It might be that it reduces the distance between pen and image with that, but it just looks aweful and oddly shiny. It's like a really bad screen protector on top of it. It just feels so oddly wrong to do pencil sketches and have that shiny material on top of it. I can't really explain it much better. I'd really like to know whether a higher priced Cintiq or product by a different manufacturer are different in those regards. Does anyone here have experience with that?

[@chockitkat3776]

I think you need to remove the screen that has the "shiny" effect because it's meant to protect the anti-glare screen from what I've seen from reviews. Hope it helps!
