HUION Kamvas 16 Drawing Tablet with Screen, 15.6 inch Graphics Tablet, Full HD Resolution, Battery-Free 8192 Level Stylus Pen and Adjustable Stand, Compatible with Windows, macOS and Android

Had this for only a few days so far, so I may come back later to update after longer use. First impressions: 5/5 Excellent quality, great materials used and the finish feels professional. Very much on par with a certain more established (and more expensive) large brand. The stand feels sturdy and the silicone pads keep everything stay firmly in place for now. I can see these ageing and becoming less tacky, at which point they will need replacement. Cables and connection options are also fantastic. Physical set-up: 5/5 Thia was super easy. The cables are all included for every possible option. My pc has a USB 3 port right next to the hdmi output, so I didn't even need to connect the third part (the red USB) of the hydra cable. The stand gives me a comfy enough tilt, so no complaints there either, but obviously this is very subjective. Installation of drivers: 4/5 The installation itself was easy enough. But downloading was a pain. There is no driver available on the UK website, and the international site kept dropping the connection so the download kept failing. A quick online search reveals that this is a fairly common issue. I ended up web-searching the *exact file name* of the driver and found it on a Korean server. That downloaded quickly and things went smooth from there. This however left me without the detailed English user guide. Software set-up: 4/5 By default the tablet pops up as 'duplicate screen', meaning you see the same things on it as on your main screen. I changed this to 'extend screen' to give me a larger desktop. It took me a while to figure out how to make the tablet recognise which desktop to use for the pen control. By default the cursor popped back to my default screen every time I tried using the pen. This function is handy to use the tablet as a traditional drawing tablet (ie without a screen) but it's probably not how you want to use it. I found the setting in the driver settings window after a while. Software compatibility: 5/5 I tried this with an older version of photoshop (pre-subscription), and a few other applications (Kriton, Corel, etc). Everything works smoothly and without issues. The only thing that I had to figure out (this may be in the detailed user guide) is that every time I start up I need to authorise 'admin access' to the drivers to allow the tablet to control other 'admin level' softwares. This is a simple button press in the driver settings. User experience: 5/5 The laminated screen really delivers. It is the same tech as in some higher end smartphones, bringing the actual display diodes closer to the surface of the screen. In smart phones this is a bit of a gimmick, although nice. In a pen display tablet this means you will see virtually no distance at all between the tip of your pen and the line you are drawing. This distance is responsible for the so called 'parallax effect' and as such this tablet reduces this to the absolute minimum. Those who never used older tablets will never know how huge a difference this makes. Sure you can get used to parallax, but why would you deal with an inconvenience if you don't have to!? I think this is one of the main best features of this tablet. The matte screen protector film reduces glare and makes the feel of the pen closer to that of a pencil on paper, but to be honest these protector films are available to every other brand too. The main thing here is that it is pre-applied for you in the factory, so you don't have to deal with sticking it on yourself. It's quite a big bonus as a new user, and makes the product more 'ready out of the box', but if you put the tablet through some regular heavy use (several hours every day) you will need to change the film at some point in the future. The pen is great, comparable to most high-end brands. Pen tilt works fine. Pressure levels way beyond most people's ability to fully utilise. Two buttons, good grip, good weight. Could be a few grams heavier for my liking, but this is a personal preference (and lighter is ergonomically better) so I can't complain. The flattened design towards the end can be distracting when you do light handed linework or sketching, but no biggie. Value for money: 5/5 Honestly this is a fantastic piece of equipment for under £350 / $400. I managed to snap up a deal on it reducing it even further. There are many features that can and should be improved upon here, but any one of those improvements would inevitably push the price up, and sharply. In my opinion Huion managed to find the perfect balance of features to get the best possible experience for users at this price point. Sure the 1080HD screen is not the sharpest any more (we're looking at 8k screens becoming common), the colour accuracy is not as great as higher-end tablets, 16" is an awkward work surface between small and large, etc... But if you're looking at these features as something that matters to you than you are probably an professional / industry veteran and you can (hopefully) afford more to spend on the main tools for your livelihood. I absolutely love the Huion Kamvas 16 and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking at this price range.

Bought the Kamvas pro 13 for my partner as a replacement for her Wacom Intuos tablet for use with the Krita digital paint program. Was a little concerned about some reviews regarding the 'wiggly line' issue observed after the tablet was launched, but the Kamvas, with latest drivers, does not exhibit the problem described. The tablet/monitor arrived nicely boxed with pressure sensitive pen, pen holder containing replacement nibs, a stand for the tablet, HDMI/USB/USB C cable (to connect tablet to laptop), power supply (with UK plug option), cleaning cloth and glove. I cannot fault the build quality of the tablet. The screen has a slight matte finish (ideal for drawing on) and the tablet has an aluminium case. Connecting up and powering on was a cinch. We downloaded the latest driver from the Huion website, then set to work 'playing' in Krita. It was that easy. Only, later on, did we experiment with the Huion Tablet utility that allows calibrating the pen to screen contact, screen mapping, pen and programmable tablet button mapping to drawing application, pen pressure sensitivity setting/testing. The Huion full HD screen is a pleasure to use. We cannot comment on the colour calibration of the Huion screen, but colours are bright and the image quality is sharp. Something essential for a digital paint tablet, as eye strain is a worry when spending so much time staring intently at a screen. Since the initial 'play', we have mapped a couple of the Huion tablet keys to Krita - Just the 'undo' and 'redo' function. The tablet 'zoom' pad located with the programmable keys requires a firmish press but is very useful for zooming various paint functions. As mentioned previously, pen to tablet registration worked straight out of the box for my right-handed partner. However, calibration would be required for me to make serious use of the tablet as I am left-handed. Monitor/tablet settings may be saved/restored to/from an XML file from the Huion tablet utility. I am thinking that I would be able to store pen/screen calibration settings in different setting files in order to accommodate the different setting required due to my left-handedness! But I haven't tried this yet. Obviously, this is early days, but so far - so good. Drawing and graphics editing sessions have been glitch free, so no rebooting or restarting of drawing application required. I will update this review with anything significant.

I was looking around for a graphic pad as I do a lot of art and somebody suggested I get one so I got this one. I did have a search around but not well enough as there are smaller ones what can be carried where-as this is quite big and unless you have a bag of some sort to carry it in, you'll need to be careful where you store it in case it is damaged. All in all though, I would highly recommend this one despite the size! The screen is great and very responsive and it is easy to use once set up. I use it with Sketchbook Pro and the things I can do with it are mind-blowing! Especially to anyone who has been hand drawing their art since day one.

The tablet is excellent quality when the price is taken in to consideration. It has impressive resolution, the screen is a reasonable size (again, for the price), and the buttons and slider are responsive. I am currently using the tablet for 3d modelling and texture painting in Blender, and I am happy with the device's functionality. I have not previously owned a display tablet, so I do not have experience with other such tablets with which to compare it; however, it is difficult to imagine a tablet of similar size offering much beyond this device. There are two negatives worth noting. The first is that calibration of the pen can be a nuisance; display tablets are supposed to offer that additional degree of control and precision not provided by the display-less tablets; without that precision, the tablet is essentially no better than the display-less devices (if anything, it would render the device less usable in comparison). However, after many frustrating attempts, one can get the calibration correct and from there the "pen and tablet" interaction warrants no major complaints. The second negative is that there is no support for Linux (i.e. no Linux drivers). Previously, this would have meant that I would not have considered purchasing the tablet, since I almost exclusively used Linux. I am now somewhat reliant on Windows, so I can use the tablet with the Windows OS. But when I run Linux, the tablet is essentially just a glorified monitor, which is a shame.

very good, i forgot to check it it worked without being linked to a computer though so it wasn’t use to me. easy setup and screen seemed great quality

I've been wanting to get back into digital art for some time now and had some cash to spend so decided to treat myself to a graphics tablet with a screen. This one works really well and is cheaper than some of the comparable leading brands. Setup was easy (though needed to restart PC after installing drivers as it locked mouse cursor up when tablet was connected) and it works really well. It does require some setup to get it working perfectly but since doing that I've had no issues with it in Photoshop. It's comfortable to use, the display is a good size and the pen responsiveness is excellent. I would say the only gripe I have with it are the pen buttons feel a bit over sensitive - I've accidently caught the eraser button a number of times when drawing.

Huion are easily competing with Wacom with their range of tablets - this thing is amazing. Took me a little while to set it up because I hadn't pushed the wire into the tablet far enough! Just a little tip in case you're panicking that it's not working :) You have to push it in much further than you think, til you feel it click into place. It's a great feature as it prevents breakage from you knocking the cable out of the port. The tablet itself took moments to set up. I'm left handed so I flipped the display around, which took a bit of faffing on my laptop to get right but in the grand scheme of things it's not a big deal - there's plenty of YouTube videos and walkthroughs online to help you get this bit done if you get stuck. The pen action is amazingly accurate, and it took me only a few hours of drawing on it to get the hang of it, which I think is great given that I've never used a tablet of any kind for drawing before this. For me this tablet is the perfect size as it's big enough for me not to have to always be zooming in for detail, but small enough to carry around in a bag with my laptop. All in all it's an amazing bit of kit and I would highly recommend to anyone looking to purchase a drawing tablet on a budget that doesn't allow for a Wacom or similar :)

i so want to give this product a great revew but after a month of use the cusor disappeared on every comptuer system I have. contacted huion for support and through their requsted checks confirmed that the problem is not sofware related. bascally huion said that if the pen works as a mouse the hardware is working. sadly in my case the pen doesnt work as a cursor or a mouse so have asked for a replacement tablet under the one year warranty. I like the tablet, when it works, and simply want a tablet that works. Huion has a good reputation for its products so lets hope their customer service is equally so.... update 31 march thank you huion - this is part of the same message which you sent me - for the benefit of other users please see below my comment to you dated march 23 regarding the issues which this tablet has and the wider software/driver conflict issues which plague this device. " Dear Huion thankyou for your email. unfortunately i have returned the the new tablet as it will not connect to my pc. my research on huion tablet problems dating back to 2013 finds that while the tablet may work initally, driver problems are inevitable and once they occur they never fully resolve however hard people try. i really dont have the time to constantly install and reinstall not just the huion tablet drivers but also windows so this is just not for me." march 23
