I'm just really happy with the packaging and the product itself
By Dini on Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2020
First of all, the resolution and ability to show off colors are amazing. I guess I'm used to dull colors based off of my past monitor calibrations but my partner, who can see colors better than I can, pointed out the vibrancy of colors this tablet provides as compared to the Kamvas 16 pro and LG monitor paired with a Wacom Intuos Pro (M) in the past. And although I knew the size of the tablet would be larger than the 15" Kamvas 16 pro, I wasn't prepared for the sheer size of the tablet. I recall being amazed by the size of the Intuos Pro (M) as a child but this? Wow. Considering it doesn't come with quick keys, the screen is here for you to focus on minor details. (Though I will say that I was a bit sad to know it didn't come with quick keys cause I got used to using them on the Kamvas 16 pro. But it's not too big of a hindrance considering the tablet comes with a USB port that allows for a keyboard to hooked up and used at a closer range. Though I don't mind simply using the keyboard on the laptop.) I will admit to simply being excited over the sheer size of the tablet. Like, wow- a definite steal for its price, and I mean it given the colors and the hardware. I was also very pleased with how compact the packaging was with the foam. Everything just fits very nicely and seems very secure for the packaging. Though I will say that I mixed up the Kamvas 16 pro pen with the Kamvas 22 Plus pen and panicked for a good two hours before taking out the nibs (As changing the nib can help with "floating" brushes), and realizing that I was using the wrong pen. This was confirmed after opening up the little pen holder and realizing that the thickness of the Kamvas 22 plus nibs are slightly thicker in circumference as compared to the Kamvas 16 pro. A photo that I've included shoes the two holders and their nibs, Left is the Kamvas 16 Pro nibs and holder, and the right showcases the Kamvas 22 Plus. Now, although I noticed that the frame of the tablet is made with plastic, the set up itself was easy enough. I also very much appreciate the stand that comes with the tablet and that it screws into it, along with the fact that the tablet comes with the necessary tools to put it all together. It's a pully system that allows you to either lay the tablet flat and can be moved up to a 90-degree angle, which my back appreciates due to the odd angles the little stand used for the Kamvas 16 pro can reach (around 45 and down at very odd increments). I've included a video of me pulling it up and down. I'm also very happy that placing it at a 90-degree angle makes it easily stored on my desk. I'm also very happy with how the cord attaches as well, since the Kamvas 16 pro attached specifically with the cord facing downwards while the cord for the Kamvas 22 Plus simply sticks into the side, and then the main cord fits between my laptop and the tablet. I'm just pretty happy that it doesn't feel as...in the way. As for the tablet itself, away from my satisfaction with the product as a physic item, I would say that the parallax is fine. I read a review about it before but honestly, if you based your art off of the cursor, the parallax shouldn't matter all too much. I noticed it's better than the Kamvas 16 pro's parallax, but overall, I appreciate being able to see the cursor as I draw. Though that's a personal preference. I also used a ruler to draw straight lines at one point and it seemed fine making straight lines. Its ability for pressure control also seems fine. I included a video of the process and have used the tablet to draw a DTIYS challenge from Deviantart's 20th-year celebration. (An image I've drawn for the challenge is included with an overlay of a sketch I did as well as one without it. They're both WIPs though that I plan on finishing and then editing this review with.) The screen that you draw on feels the same as the Kamvas 16 pro, seeing as it's an anti-glare glass that's matte. The screen doesn't scratch easily though, but I recommend to not press hard with the pen anyway. This is because I used the Kamvas 16 pro for a while and didn't scratch the screen at all. Though I will say that it's a bit intimidating. USB-C to USB-C: It can connect to my partner’s Android phone well. It takes a quick unplug-replug but it turns on afterward. I wasn’t aware of the game-mode until I hooked up the software and I have yet to test it, though I will say it probably works as a monitor given I got bored one day and hooked up the Kamvas 16 pro to my switch and it worked just fine, it probably just isn't built for games. TLDR; Pros: -Cost -The built-in stand that reaches between 0 to 90-degrees -Resolution -Size -Compatibility with certain android phones and the switch game system Cons: -Personally, I can't think of any. It worked right out of the packaging and came faster than expected. Overall, I'm very pleased with this product and all of the components and this isn't me sucking up to the company. This is me just genuinely being content with the product as I'm a poor artist drawing on a budget. Basically, it works as it should and honestly? If you're looking for a screen tablet on a budget, Huion has plenty of tablets that are definitely cheaper than any tablet Wacom has. If you want the least amount of parallax and the use of press keys though- I’ve read that the Kamvas 22 Pro (2019) is great for those looking for something with the two. This is based on my own opinion while watching tablet reviews and reading quick tips in order to make sure I know what I’m talking about though. And I would personally like to recommend watching Teoh Yi Chie on Youtube for a more in-depth review (I came across him miraculously and enjoyed his more in-depth and more educated review. Everything mentioned in this one is based on my own experience with the tablet though.)

Par Product, Sub-Par Software
By Tyler on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2025
Alright, I've had this long enough to make a fair judgement. Always used Wacoms, decided to give this a try since it's a 3rd of the price. Is the PRODUCT (not the software) worth 300 bucks: I think I got this on sale and for about 300. The product itself is worth it. There's no buttons but those buttons usually feel awful anyways. No touch screen but I'm a "palm-dragger" so they don't vibe with me. The screen to glass distance is great. Color and brightness and resolution are all good. I got the PLUS version. Pen is fine... little different than the Wacom...feels a little cheaper but it's more than fine. Does it work? 50/50 Is it good enough for hobby artists? Yes, more than enough. Are you a professional making money from your art and thus need your tools to work everyday, 24/7, for years and years? ****THIS IS NOT THE BRAND FOR YOU**** I'm sorry. I want it to be so badly but the sad and very unfortunate truth is that Huion does not have the software to support their tools. A real form over function issue. If you are on Windows, you WILL have problems and they WILL take considerable time away from your art. Will you fix the issue? Probably... you probably need to replace a corrupted .dll file or you may need to use the huion program to reset some temp files but hopefully it recognizes you have a device plugged in and actually lets you into the settings. It could just need a restart, or maybe unplug it and plug back in. Maybe this time just uninstalling and reinstalling will work...sometimes it does. Maybe this time you just need to reset the windows defender settings so it asks for permissions again. Maybe it's the windows ink check box again...maybe flick that on and off a few times to trigger something. Hey, it worked once, right? Is Wacom perfect? No...is it WAY over priced...YES good grief. Can I depend on it like a Nokia? Yes. I don't know what else to say. Obviously I'm annoyed with this product. I hate sitting at my computer every day and wondering if I can just get into art or if I'm going to spend 2 hours fixing my Huion Tablet. It's just not worth it. Can you imagine having bottles of paint and sometimes it just came out grey...or as glue? Then you have to spend hours fixing it before you get to the painting that's due tomorrow? And this is like...every week. Most times multiple times a week. The paint is cheaper but...it sometimes...isn't paint???? College Artist just starting out (and wanna add some spice to your all-nighters), first time Tablet users (who are comfortable googling and youtubing tech problems)... a meteor crashed through your house and smashed your main tablet to bits and a replacement is on the way but you got deadlines... These are all perfectly acceptable reasons to purchase and use a Huion. Anything else...invest in yourself, bb. You're worth it. This company ain't. Hell X-PEN has a little scroll wheel on their pens... GIVE THEM YOUR 300 BUCKS! 4500 for a Wacom (that thing has even a sniffle imma rage) 300 for a Huion (Calm breathing as this thing s*&#s the bed everyday) I'll be real...I don't know which is better (I gots the emotions)...but I will say....this thing has driven me to the point of actually understanding Wacom's 4500 dollar price tag. 80% of that premium is going to their software engineers and I think I might be okay with that. Vent over...
