Which tablet size is right for you? In this video I compare the benefits of having a 16 inch tablet and a 24 inch tablet. I talk about some of the perks of each, and make a recommendation of which you should buy.
I also give a pretty compelling subscriber beg.
Spoiler alert: If you consistently do digital art, the 24 inch is probably worth it. Otherwise, the 16 inch is great for its minimal footprint and portability.
Here the tablets I'm using are the 24" Cintiq Pro and the 16" Kamvas 4k. If you want to see a full review of these tablets check out these videos:

I have some new content coming out that I'm really excited about. It's not like anything I've put on this channel before, so make sure you stay tuned (in fact, I'm not sure if you can find this type of content anywhere on RU-vid) (It's not nudity).

Did you notice the scary clown heads turn to look at us at the end of your video? Well times if that was a coincidence. Great video again. Did you say your art isn’t your day job? If that’s the case it’s a bit like me. Refreshing for someone to show people that we don’t all have a gazillion subscribers, don’t have tech given to us to review so we have to buy carefully…and man does that mean research. I’m leaning towards the cintiq 22 next as I have a cintiq 16. I’d like to work them both. Have an old xp pen that’s outdated for now as a second screen. Do you use any of these for work and how do you find you use your big vs small Drawing monitors?

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

👀😨🤡 I didn't know they were going to do that.... Thank you! Yes, unfortunately art isn't my full time job (yet). But I like having a job that pays the bills so that I don't have to stress over making money with my art. I might not enjoy it as much if I did that. But maybe someday it will work out! I don't use any of the tablets for my day job (I'm a software engineer) but that's mostly because I don't have a good stand for them. I'm debating getting a stand that lets the tablet stand above the desk like a monitor -- in which case, yes, I would totally use it for work. When I take the 16" on the go to meet ups, I totally use it as a second monitor with my laptop and it works really well. You might consider Huion's new Kamvas 24 series -- I haven't tried it personally but it's priced well and might offer what you need.

@greenpulp. 2 года назад

My experience is that you have to send back the review devices, though (Apple, Wacom, Samsung) but that was for web-based reviews not RU-vid :)

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

OoOoOoo that makes a lot of sense then. Okay, then I don’t feel so bad about not being in the golden circle of reviewers that get “free” stuff 😅.

@felantian9661 Год назад

I became a fulltime artist half a year ago and I can't stress enough how important it is to have a large drawing space. While studying at university, I would use a 22" wacom cintiq on campus and I also bought myself a small 13" cintiq for travel. That small tablet is what I use now and it's often really annoying having such a small screen. I'll be setting money aside to get the Cintiq pro 24. It's quite the investment, but I feel like my neck, back and eyes will thank me in the long run.

Thank you so so much for this video! I was still on the fence as to which size tablet I should get before watching your review but when I got to the point around 5:22 when you make the decision for those of us who are still undecided, I honestly felt very relieved. I plan to order a 16" Huion 2.5k display today! This was the perfect review with an artist's perspective in mind and a realistic approach for day-to-day work on the display. Thanks again!

oh awesome! This is great to hear -- I agree when you move to a bigger screen it's like "Oh yeah, I got this".

@carolankorten7598 2 года назад

Awesome video, your humor is great and your kid is adorable! If I could go back and change my tablet purchase I would have gone for a 16 inch instead of a 13, but even just the 13 inches has been enough for me to work on projects. It’s also great for a portable set up. In the future when I have a desktop set up, I’d love to get a larger tablet, and like you said I’ll appreciate that extra space even more after using a small tablet.

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

I'm so happy you found it helpful! It's amazing how you kind of adapt to whatever size you get. If you're used to a 13 in moving up to a 16 feels like a huge upgrade. Once you get good with the size you're using, it's surprising how much better upgrading to a bigger size feels. Sounds like you might be due for a nice upgrade treat 😁!

@pelakalion 2 года назад

Thanks, that's just the question I was considering. I don't regret thinking about 16 right now, and considering 24. Something I didn't do before.

@ChrisKnowlesTube 2 года назад

Thanks so much for this video. I have a 24 cintiq, but an old version and wanted to upgrade to have less parallax when painting. I did buy the Huion pro 16"plus. It is great, takes up less space on my table (which I also made myself.). But, you point about the panning around and the hours per week I use it help me decide to send it back and got for the larger 24"version. I paint for a living and spend 20+hrs per week digitally painting. Strain and posture is a bit thing and receptive actions become a really pain, literally. Thanks for the clear advice and keep producing the great videos.

@octopioctopus 2 года назад

I came here from your tablet showdown video and I appreciated how straightforwards you were with the review while sneaking in some dry humor. It was clear and well structured. I couldn't make a decision just from that video alone but I ended up doing what you did: I bought the 24" tablets I was considering and returned the one I didn't like. I ultimately ended up going with the huion ; the xp-pen had some issues that I couldn't deal with. To be fair, I might have received a defective product. This video was great too. I used to own a 13" cintiq, and I own a 24" huion now, but I draw... a lot. The larger screen size helps a lot ergonomically and with eyestrain, but artists just starting out probably aren't dealing with those issues yet. You're very frank about how and why the tech you choose works with your lifestyle! I hope you continue to do art-related tech reviews in the future.

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

I'm so happy to hear you got the right device! Thanks for your support, it means a lot. That's not the first time I've heard of issues like that, so maybe I just got lucky with the two I purchased. It sounds like the upgraded size was totally worth it for you then! It really is tough to beat the comfort of the big screen if you spend a lot of time drawing. If you're putting time into it, you deserve the best tools. There will be lots more to follow, thanks for the encouragement!

@flashytincan 2 года назад

Out of curiosity, after 8 months of use, have you seen any change in the functionality of the Huion tablet? Or is it working as well as it did in the first week? It is hard to hear the opinions of long term users of Cintiq alternatives.

@octopioctopus 2 года назад

@@flashytincan The Huion tablet still works well for me. The build quality has held up, and i really like the etched glass screen (no visible marks from the pen). There are some quirks to the software that change how you can use shortcuts with the pen vs a cintiq pen, but I’d happily recommend it for anyone looking for a cintiq alternative. That said, I haven’t had a chance to actually try the 24” or 22” cintiqs, so grain of salt and all that.

@DMitsukirules 2 года назад

I do art professionally. I started on a crappy Wacom Bamboo. Very tiny, could never get used to it. Thought to myself I'd be able to do art way better if I had a cintiq (they cost more back then) My friend let me borrow her cintiq 13, and it turned out I was right. Using a screen was much better for me. I ended up getting my own and did art professionally with that. Thought that I could use a bigger one so I got a 22HD. Turns out that was honestly just more annoying than it was worth due to it's size, so I bought an iPad. Enjoyed using that much more than the 22HD, so I got a 16 HD (and a cheap Chinese screenless tablet) Turns out I can use the screenless tablet now without even practicing (I'm just better at art) and I'm currently enjoying the 16HD. The only thing that gives me a desire to upgrade is I wish I had touch on a desktop tablet, but I refuse to pay 3 thousand dollars for Wacoms touch (which was broken on my 22 HD touch) All of this is to say if you want to do art, you don't need expensive stuff. You CAN get used to a tablet with no screen even if it's hard. You can use a 13 inch tablet. You can use a 16 inch tablet. You can use a 22 inch tablet. For a long time I used a paper and a pencil. Don't sweat this stuff too much. Buy something you can afford and use it for a while. Eventually you will know if you need to upgrade or not. No review is ever going to be able to tell you that, they only tell you if the thing you are going to upgrade into functions or not. Don't fall for industry standard tricks or lies either. Wacom has been probably the most unreliable piece of hardware I've ever used over the last 15 years. You aren't purchasing reliability or anything of the sort with "industry standard" purchases, you are just getting what people are used to buying. So just buy what you can afford and start doing art.

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

This! I love the insight. I'm definitely the kind of person that falls for the "I just need to buy stuff to be good at this" trap. It's hard to avoid. I think my big problem is 2 things: I don't have any natural talent, and I have a hard time motivating myself to do something new. Somehow getting a fancy new piece of tech helped me with that (but it didn't all of a sudden make my art "good" or my studying "easier"). But now that I'm more confident, I've started to really enjoy sketching and drawing with just a plain white notepad and a .01 Micro nib. Thanks for this! I'm going to try out a regular pen tablet to see if I really even need the screen.

New screen tablet user here! I recently got the xp pen-artist 15.6 pro. Its my first ever screen tablet and its ALOT bigger then I thought it was. The quality is great and the workspace is alot bigger and more then enough! I suggest if your someone like me whos never had experiences with screen tablets i would get a 16inch. A 24inch could be overwhelming to new artists. But could be something you could look to invest into in the future!

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

Great call! When you put the 16" next to the 24" it looks small, but in reality once the 16" is on your desk it's huge. I don't know if the scale really showed through in the video, but it's really a good sized device. I'm tying this around my 24" right now because, as I mentioned, it dominates my desk. I love the XP-Pen artist pro line, I hope it brings you many cool looking digital art pieces.

@queertales 2 года назад

Angling your drawing surface at between 30-50 degrees, while raising it up to a bit below your eyelevel so you don't need to strain your neck too much, but not so high that it's uncomfortable for your arm and shoulder. This will make it way more comfortable to work on and your neck and back will thank you in the long run. With a 24-32" you should really get a stand or arm so you can adjust the angle, for a smaller 12-16" you could just put a small box or some books under the stand to get it a bit of the desk, or if you want to get fancy, you could incorporate it in a drawing desk, similar to old animation desks. :) On the 27QHD I found myself only drawing in an area in the middle a bit smaller than the Huion's 16's screen, and reaching for the menu bar and tools on the left was quite awkward. I've actually just sold my 27QHD and and am using the Huion 16 Pro 4k Plus instead. The drawing experience is great on both, but for me it mostly came down to lack of space and not being a full time artist.

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

Ughhh you are so right, looking at this thing for more than a few hours KILLS my neck. That's my biggest complaint about the 24" Cintiq Pro -- they didn't send me a fully adjustable stand, the back of the tablet isn't VESA mount compatible, and Wacom wants $500+ for their stands! And I have to dedicate an entire section of my desk to the stand 🙄. I'm definitely going to be propping it up in the future -- I'm thinking about making some kind of stand out of spare 2x4s that I have laying around, because I definitely can't keep going like this. The extra desk space thing is so true, when I'm using my 24" I suddenly realize that I've used a 5" by 5" size square of the tablet for the entire drawing and I wonder why I even need such a big tablet. I'm trying to get better at using more sweeping gestures to improve the quality of my strokes and curves though. I'm glad you're enjoying the extra desk space with your new tablet! I also love the 16 Kamvas Pro, it's been amazing and has a really great feel. I highly recommend the felt tips they sell for the pen.

@Daleskate 2 года назад

Probably been said somewhere below, but the 16" is great with an ergo arm! Got a second hand one for £30 and taped the Huion stand to it, so I can move it closer / further / up / down at will, and it's honestly great. Have a great Christmas!

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

This is a great tip! I've been using a desk based stand and I'm starting to realize that the ergo arm is probably the best way to go. I just need a little more height off the desk. I'm a big fan of taping things to other things, so I support it👍👍 Thanks!

@philipmcdonnell7168 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. It covered a lot of my queries. I've considered a lot of display tablets to replace my Huion Inspiroy Q11k v2. I've had Wacoms in the past (not display versions) and the last two have just fallen apart, the batteries didn't retain a charge and the bluetooth was iffy at best. (I use a MacBook Pro 2012 which has now reached retirement age given how many apps are telling me there isn't enough RAM to function properly). I agree desk space is one of my biggest concerns as I work in non-artistic industry and often have two laptops on the go plus iPad at the same time. But so is seeing the whole picture. I hate not being able to see my complete canvas when I draw or sculpt or model. I guess I will go for a 16in or thereabouts, be that a Huion or XP-Pen. Finally, loved the comments re hating 'corp speak'. I'm with your there. And the out-takes too.

@halidramzan2803 2 года назад

Sometimes i just come here for the humor😂. But i must say. I work on an intuos mini 10 hours a day, 6 days a week and it's truly the opposite of ideal. So, like the man said. Get a 24" tablet if you create weekly. It'll save you a lot of pain throughout you hand. Trust me. I know😂

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

😁 I'm glad someone appreciates it. That looks like it's a good tablet though even if it's smaller. It sounds like it's time to treat yourself to an upgrade! I'd love to know how a bigger tablet would feel by comparison, especially someone who does digital art as much as you do.

Hello great video and very informative! I currently have the iPad Pro 12.9 and it’s really good but I just crave having more screen space to make better editing decisions. Plus the interface in some softwares take up space. I really want the Wacom cintiq 22 but I’m on a budget. Should I just wait until I have enough for the 22 since I have a iPad or will a 16 be enough?

@lego_minifig 2 года назад

For me personally, if your going 22in or larger it needs to be VESA compatible (a cheap $30 arm has treated me well) so I can move the monitor out of the way and off my desk when I’m not using it. It also allows me to float the tablet above my keyboard (slightly covering the numpad) so that I still have access to my shortcuts comfortably and giving me comfortable access to my mouse under my display. That flexibility is something I slightly miss when working on a smaller pen display or my iPad. Then again I can only draw or work from my desk with that setup where as the other devices allow me to get a change of scenery.

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

I'm with you -- being able to move the monitor out of the way is huge (I like my desk really empty). Wacom has a VESA mount converter that I bought so I'm going to give the arm a try -- I think it will be really helpful. Having a small keyboard (65%, Keytron K2) has been the only thing that has saved me. It' really easy to fit that size next to the tablet while it sits on my desk. But I really like the idea of having the mouse right under the display -- I hate having to reach across the tablet to get to the mouse (especially when I'm using ZBrush, where I'm always grabbing the mouse).

I upgraded from a 16 mobile studio to a 24, still waiting for it to arrive. I was attracted to the idea of working portable, but ironically it's rarer than I thought it would be. I never really had a issue quality wise on the 16in, but it would be nice zooming in and out less and seeing more. That is what usually throws off my proportions, it can go to 4k, but you have to really look close. I'm a tall guy, so even the 16 in looks small to me, I'm hoping the 24 in will feel normal. XD

@devanshidraws Год назад

Hi!! Thanks a lot for this. It is super helpful!! I couldn’t decide between Huion Kamvas 22inch or the new Huion 16 inch…. This video really helped. As a hobby artist, I only draw on my iPad, so I don’t even know if I’ll like drawing on my laptop. So I guess 16 makes the most sense. Also- does anyone know if Fusion 360 works with Huion yet? I know they have a support for Wacom now.

@whatthefanart 2 года назад

I wish someone made a 19-20" screen tablet, 1440p or 4K resolution, with express keys. Hate that Wacom abandoned this to sell it as an extra feature (that isn't part of the tablet frame) and also really really LOVE the dial on XP-Pen, seamless brush size adjustment on the fly. 16" loses real estate sharing space between the canvas and the panels (be that Photoshop, Clip Studio, Krita, or what ever your app of choice is). While 22-24" hogs up desk space and I found can cause arm fatigue traversing so much surface area. I mean there are 3" steps and less between 12, 13 and 16" tablets, but the only option from 16" is all the way up to 22 and higher? A 6" gap in every brand lineup.... nothing in between? 😮‍💨

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

I'm with you there -- with the size of the bezels on the side of the tablet, they definitely could have fit in some express keys. I do have trouble adjusting brush size in photoshop -- I've taken just to right clicking and manually dragging, but that's kind of annoying. I have to say though, I've been using the Kamvas Pro 24" 4K tablet, and the fact that it has small bezels compared to the Cintiq Pro makes it feel significantly smaller on my desk. The screen doesn't feel as good as the Cintiq, but I still really like the Kamvas pro. It could be a good option for people who want a bigger tablet but don't want to sacrifice a ton of desk space. Plus, getting a 65% keyboard (Keytron K2) has made it much easier to use the keyboard along side the tablet.

@IshikaShanai 2 года назад

As a person who uses a cintiq 13 HD and ipad pro 12.9 inch for professional and personal illustration/design/animation the cintiq pro 24 is certainly enticing… but for now it’s definitely more of a “use what you have and make the most of it” mentality as I save up for an upgraded desk set-up for when my current computer dies. However, I prefer the portability of an ipad over being chained to a desk. 😩

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

I'm all about that mentality, it's so easy for me to get caught up in a furry of "just buy this thing it will make you better at X" (that's why I have an excess of climbing shoes and GIs). I have an iPad Pro as well, I got it because I was forced to go back to the office for work and I wanted to have a way to do some digital drawing on the go (and treat myself). Honestly I'm still learning how to use it correctly -- it's a different experience than using a large pen tablet. I have a tendency to just grab a sketchpad to do my drawing when I'm on the go, so I'm actively trying to force myself to draw on my iPad more.

Ugh I'm somewhere in the middle. I work long hours but I'm not interested in a huge desk hog.

Might be wishful thinking right now that they would do 4k 19-21" displays, as they're banking on users jumping to their higher tier product As usual though I love your humor and your videos, always insightful and helpful than most popular tablet review channels out there :)

@PaolaTuazon 2 года назад

@@TaylorStine Yeah, first few days was great. But started experiencing issues after 8+ hours of work-- it would glitch, flicker, then darken to an almost black screen. I would let it cool down for a few minutes so I can use it again (also tried other troubleshooting like plugging directly to wall outlet, changing refresh rate, cables etc to no avail).. it gradually got worse and eventually died. Huion after a month figured it was a cable issue, which was absolutely frustrating. Already behind in deadlines, I couldn't spend more time with the back and forth documenting everything and gaining nothing (I just wanted to ship back the product so they can test it all by themselves, but they won't give me an address), so this experience made me quite hesitant to try out other Huion products in the future. :/ Currently just waiting for XPpen to release a pro model with their new X3 pen (heard it was great, it uses digital signal instead of analog), or I might just bite the bullet with a 24" Wacom Pro since you really liked it as well. But I'm still looking forward to your 24" Huion review. Will be considering it (albeit quite begrudgingly lol) if it comes to par with the Wacom. I figured the 16"'s form factor might've come with a disadvantage with internals overheating under long use.

Hey great channel by the way I have a question is your huion on a laminated screen and if it is does it make it better to draw on compared to a non laminated screen? And also how does that tablet compared to your Wacom? The drawing experience I mean and do you have to turn the drivers on and off or can you use both at the same time? Sorry I just have a lot of questions based off of your setup thanks

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

Thank you! I'm actually not sure, I didn't make any changes to the screen, so whatever the factory default is (I don't think there's any lamination, but I could be wrong). The Cintiq pro screen definitely feels a little better, I feel like I can have a little bit of a softer touch when I draw. But once I was using the Huion for a little while I got used to it and really stopped noticing. The drivers hate each other, it's such a pain to switch the tablets. Maybe there's a way where you can get both to work, but when I wanted to switch I had to uninstall / reinstall each driver and restart my computer.

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

I've used the Kamvas Pro a lot more than the Xp-Pen and I don't really have any complaints about it. In fact I bought the larger Kamvas 24 4K tablet to try out because I liked the 16" version so much (so far so good, but I though it was maybe a little pricey). So I'm not sure I can say Kamvas is definitively better than the Artist Pro, but I can say that I've really liked using the Kamvas.

They only time they really have issues is when I try to plug in both the Huion and the Wacom tablet at the same time 😅. It looks like there may be more options to customize settings in the Wacom interface, but I don't really mess with many of the settings. Plus it's uglier than the Huion interface.

Yeah unfortuntately this is something I just mentioned in my latest review of Kamvas Pro 24" 4K. The colors do look a little bit off compared to my Cintiq (and main monitor). But I'm really not the best with color, so after a while I just stopped noticing it. You can adjust the color temperature, but I still couldn't get it quite right.

I’m about to study a degree in digital art, which is why I’m still on the fence about getting a 16”, considering that I’ll be drawing on it for hours. But 24” sounds huge. If there was a 20” it would be perfect for me. Hoping Huion will release a new 20” with QHD. What would you recommend?

@TaylorStine 2 года назад

If I could go back in time, I would get my degree in digital art. If you're only going to be drawing, you might consider an iPad pro. I've been doing a lot of my drawing on my iPad now that my little one is big, and I don't get as much time to sit at my desk. And if that's the case, you might want to get a pen tablet to do your sculpting -- I definitely don't need the screen when I sculpt. But if you want an all in one type deal, I would just go with the 16" -- you're probably going to be working in different environment when your in school, and it will be handy to bring your tablet along with you. It's weird because whatever size you get, your brain mentally adapts so you stop noticing it.

But I'm with you - all of the Wacom products I've used have had really good longevity and I do really like the way they feel. Honestly, it sounds like for your use case, you would probably be good with either, but if you're drawing that much the 24 inch is a good option. It is big, but like everything you get used to it on your desk. Either way, I don't think you'll have any regrets. You might consider too if you're going to use a stand with it, because the Cintiq pro doesn't come with one and the stands Wacom sells look like they need to be fixed in one place on the desk.
