Review: Huion Kamvas 13 Pen Display (Just $239) 

Now, this is a *"REAL"* review, that _breaks down the technicalities of the product._ Thanks for the detailed video. Just decided to purchased it based on what I've seen on this video. Thanks, dude!

This is my first drawing tablet, and it helped me so much! 😅 I don’t know a lot about these things so THANK YOU

best review of this ive seen....no one else zoomed into the screen like you did and showed the accuracy of the pen to cursor......which is what i wanted to see. so thankyou for geting in there with the camera and also going over display settings too as ive not seen that either on other review videos

Most detailed review I've found so far - Much appreciated

I love your videos, man. They're always so straight-forward, yet in-depth. That takes an art form. Keep up the great work!

This review is honestly one of the best and most helpful for me ! Thank you!

This is a good review! Hope to see more like this. You gave us an in-depth review of kamvas 13... I'm choosing what to buy between kamvas 13 and wacom one. This video helped me a lot.

After this, I bought mine. my first ever pen display ;u;)7 your vids are so informative, covered hardware to software and answered all my questions regarding the tab ahhh

This is the most complete and honest review I've seen atm. I bought this tablet just today and probably will be on my hands tomorrow. It will be my first display graphic tablet and seeing this video helps a lot to understand more about it. Really thanks!

I Have the Huion 610 Pro Graphics Tablet.. Been Using it For 6 Years Fairly Regularly With PS & Corel Painter. It is Still Working Perfectly! So I Have Absolute Confidence in The Huion Brand. This Absolute Looks Like a Fantastic Deal!!! 😍

I was torn between the slide pad and the aluminum body of the pro, but the added buttons, android comparability, and cabling options, in addition to the new pen sealed the deal. Thanks for all the content, you always do the best and I really appreciate that.

Thank you for how in-depth this was. This was a extremely helpful video

I will be ordering this tomorrow and honestly this video has helped a lot with consolidating whether I was making a good choice or not. As a student going into a games art course I felt I needed to upgrade from the small drawing tablet I first bought to a pen display whilst still being on a budget, I haven't been able to work since the pandemic so funds haven't been too great. I can now sleep peacefully with the knowledge that I won't be making a bad decision

thank for the review! still using my 22 inch Acepen 2150 and my new wacom 16hd, always wanted to give Huion a try, maybe next pen display.

your reviewed helped me make the decision to purchase the kamvas 13! thank you so much. hope you're having a lovely day

I only just ordered this product today! It said it would come on the 20th to the 25th so not that far away! I got it for more money because of where I lived which sucked but I found the cheapest one, and plus we also got to make a discount on it so that saved me about $50 which is nice. I had to get the USB-C to USB-C cables to connect to my Android phone so that also made it more expensive. I think this drawing tablet suits me because it can connect to android phones (depends what one but there is a lot of choices!), it's a really good size for newbies with drawing tablets (this is my first drawing pad), and reviews on it are great! There's only a few problems with it but not many! This video helped me as well thank you! I cant wait to get this drawing tablet in a week or a bit more!

I ordered mine because this video its coming at the end of the month thanks Teoh it really helped

This was such a great review, full of usable information. Thank you!

from the new 3 release of HUION i bought this one. 1st portability. 100% small compact power doesn't need to be on an outlet. just your laptop is enough 2nd the price no others can compare. 3rd how the tablet perform is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

I'll buy this. Thanks for the honest review.

Thanks for the detailed review! Highly appreciate ittt

thank you for this, i think this will be my first display tablet. i can afford it and i really like ur review of it. it helps me and other young artists !

This is so helpful , u describe so clearly thank u !!!

Thank you you really explain and go through everything very helpful.

Great review Teoh, i hope they send you the Kamvas studio 22 next, stay safe!

I bought one yesterday for my son. Thanks for the tips. Very helpful 👌.

Thank you so much for the video! It helped me to choose screen tablet and moreover, saved a lot of time with figuring things out when i bought it! I am happy like an elephant (that's a proverb from my country)!

Now thats a review! Great video man!

Just ordered mine yesterday and super excited !!!!

This really helps. I have a background with graphic design many moons ago when PS was first on the market. No tablets then, just roller ball mouse or drawing pad. I bought this for my 12 yo as she is starting to get into digital art drawing and I don't have any experience using one. This was very helpful.

So glad your Kamvas 12 (2021) video popped up in suggestions last night. I haven't dabbled with computer art in years. Hated the detached feeling of the Wacom Graphire3 and couldn't justify the $$$ for the pro solutions. I took your recommendation to go for the Kamvas 13 for the extra drawing area. As chance would have it, Huion had a Kamvas 13 Lightning Deal on Amazon Canada for $297 Cdn (reg $349) so I grabbed it + next day delivery. Just set it up and did some quick doodling with GIMP. YES!! Exactly what I always wanted. Look at, draw on, see marks on the surface and not look at a remote display. I did some hatching and rows of uniform circles that I couldn't do with the Graphire3, if my life depended on it. Now to configure the buttons and physical setup and have some fun!

Awesome video. Very detailed! I noticed the issue with photoshop happens on my Wacom tablet as well

Exactly the info i needed thanks!

Best review bro!!! I love it!!! (Really helpfull)

I just bought this tablet today because of this well explained review of the product.

I've always wanted to know if you needed both usb's to power the display! Very informative!

Im a mac user thank you so much for telling me the issue, that's totally helpful for me

I ordered mine last week and hopefully it’ll arrive sometime on June! Your review helped me out but I’m still worrying about having issues with it :(

Ordered one today after taking your review in to account :D

this change my standard, i want to have one!

Great review!

I don't know why I am watching this. Haha! It was on my recommended. Great review! I know there will be lots of people who appreciate this video.I know I would if I was in search for a tablet. :D ♥ I got the kamvas 16 a couple of weeks ago and am in LOVE with it. A week in I had some pressure issues with photoshop but was able to figure it out. It was $400 (after taxes and shipping) well spent. I'm very happy with it. I'm also happy my husband was able to ground me about buying the huion vs getting the wacom ($700-1200). Now I get to build a new computer with the money I didn't spend on a wacom AND I get to enjoy a wonderful tablet! YAY!

i ordered this graphic display two days ago and i can't wait to try it out! i've been using my phone for drawing so this will be a very nice change :)) also great video, very helpful♥️

Spent years rejecting the ASMR movement til you put the mic up to the screen and started drawing strokes.... I get it now.

It's good to mention they sell replacement screen protectors, though they don't seem to be availible in the EU, looks like they're in stock on the US store which doesn't ship here. Also you don't have to buy the very overprices huion cable, you can get any usb c to usb c 10Gbps+ cable but most standard connectors don't fit normally so you either need the extender made exactly to solve this problem (I think like 8$ for two on amazon, probably can find cheaper) or sand it down to fit hoping the connector itself, without the potting, isn't weird and it'll itself fit.

$239? This sounds like a steal for what you're getting! Is it available in Singapore yet?

Bought this yesterday hahaha waiting for it

Nice review! One issue from other youtube video, if you drop pen accidentally on hard floor etc. etc. wire inside pen could cut from soldering. Then wire have bad connection and give you lot of headache using pen, you start blame drivers, OS or Screen first. If device not have warranty left, you could look inside pen yourself and solder that wire back.

Great presentation, I love it

something to note (the tablets accuracy is highly unstable. depending on how you hold the pen the cursor or pointer becomes off set,this is most noticeable when doing line art, like when when you tilt the pen in different directions(its on the side of the nib and not below it ) i have been trying to fix this because its annoying,but it seems no amount of calibrations works! i hope they update the driver to make it an option to remove the tilt function,which i think is causing the problem

im getting this for sure

I have the same problems in photoshop with a waccom, so I believe the problem is the app it self, not the pen display.

I've been wanting to buy a display tablet but as a student I don't have much money to spare so this might be a good option. (: great video!

I just ordered mine!

Hello ! maybe your problem is the autorisations in MacOS, in settings. I had this kind of problem, and the drivers didn't have the autorisations to access inputs (keyboard) . Great videos, keep it up :)

Great review! Thank you especially for confirming the main difference between the pro edition and this one. Also adding in your thoughts about multiple software's, particularly krita, for those of us who refuse to drink the adobe koolaid. There's a con, missing from your list. The USB-C port is milled in such a way that you *must* buy a cable from Huion, you cannot just use any USB-C cable.

I'm getting this for Christmas

Actually you may want to calibrate your display. I have the Huion Kamvas 16 pro and out of the box it was way off. On some parts of the screen it was nearly a full centimetre off. You may also need to calibrate it after some use. I noticed for the first few days the calibration would drift. Once calibrated though, it worked great and even worked fine on my linux box. I did not test tilt, which likely would not work without the windows driver.

Thank you for such an honest and informative review! I have a Huion Kamvas 13 & a XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro. The Huion 13" price is trending up. But Artist 13.3 Pro tablet drawing experience is much better..

i think this or something like this will be on my list to have :)

Best display tablet review❤❤

Thats awesome!

Thanks man 😊

check your settings in photoshop, move tool, uncheck the show transform controls

Very informative! Could you please make Kamvas PRO 13 review for comparison?🙂

I picked up X-PEN 15.6 Artist Pro for 350 euros. Now waiting till it ships...

nice review.

they trick you you think the big stand is the screen but its underneath a really mini one

I just bought my first drawing tablet (video) and I cant wrap my head around the setup? This tablet is a 21 inch UGEE but only 1080p like most of them. The problem is that all my other monitors are 4k and all my photoshop files are all high 4k plus images and if I mirror the main monitor, it forces them both to regular old 1080p. I there another way to set this thing up so I can switch from the drawing tablet (1080p) to my main editing monitor which is 4k? Any help would be appreciated as I am new to these tablets.

Hola señor Teoh Yi Chie. ¿Te das cuenta de que la línea de Kamvas 13 es más suave que la de XP-PEN artist pro 13? Muchas gracias, haces un buen trabajo con tus comentarios

this or XP Pen Artist Pro 13, btw great in depth review!

the mouse mode is nice if you just want to use it as a monitor though

I recently ordered this and it was perfect, except for one thing: the screen colour's werent accurate. Yes I did colour cal it in sm different ways, but I still couldn't get it 100% accurate and yes I am very picky. For instance, the orangey reds looked like deep, dark pinky reds instead. No matter how I colour calibrated it, it wouldn't change at all. Same with the blues--- it was a light blue but turned out more deeper purpley blue. I colour cal it by the tablet itself, by my nvidia graphics card and everything-- I just couldn't get it right so I had to return it and now I'm hoping to find a tablet thats perf like this huion tablet but more colour accurate. Just a heads up if youre colour picky like me.

so i just realize this is using HDMI and my assumption is since my laptop is output a display via DP that mean it won't work, and i have to use the usb c to usb c (Thunderbolt 3 or 4) which not included in the box but if i buy one that mean i can't use my usual setup which is laptop to monitor via thunderbolt 4, regardless this is still a useful review

Huion products are generally great... Just don't drop the pen... Mine fell off the desk a few times too many and I have to get a new one, it works it just now draws/presses when it's hovering. There is a barrel-type magnet inside the pen which broke it's my fault for being careless it's strong but not that strong. Also, I clearly need a larger desk.

I love the clicky buttons they make my brain happy

helpful review!!💕💕 question though, is the tablet touchscreen? I've seen reviews that say it is not

BTW, as of 2021/03/07, the Screen Switch option doesn't have that intermediate click. Just toggles between the two displays now. I set the bottom pen button to do the screen switch. Great for quickly getting to the GIMP tools on the laptop screen.

Got this Kamvas 13. It's good except that I experience the driver randomly disconnect and reconnect cycling a few times. It's very annoying. I tried it with their older driver the problem still persists, so I plug the additional USB Type-A into the wall but the problem still persists. I suspect I have an intermittent hardware issue if the rest of the users don't have the problem. In the end, I ordered a Kamvas 16 pro, hope I will have more luck with it.

very nice video !! I'm searching a new tablet to replace my xp-pen artist 12 ! thank you for yout awesone video !

Hi Teoh! The active area in the tablet looks bigger than what the specifications say. Please could you tell us which are the real dimensions?

Which is better, the kamvas pro 13 or this new 2020 kamvas 13? thanks

cool review, really helpful! ☺️ what software were you using before photoshop?

I animate, and I am going to get the Kamvas 13 for christmas hopefully, but I use Krita too!!!!!

Hello Teoh, could you check if this pen works on the other Kamvas pro, please This pen Is supposed to be betterand more precise than the original one from the Kamvas pro line. Could you make this test and give us your impression on the difference between the two iterations of the pens?

I bought the Kamvas pro 24” but it’s too big n clunky. I can’t find a comfortable set up with my keyboard and 2nd monitor. I just ordered this for a few reasons. The anti glare glass is not my preference. I like the paper-like smoothness to draw on but with light backgrounds the noise from the matte finish is terrible. Bothers my eyes so much over time where I don’t even wanna draw. With the kamvas 13 at least u can remove it and u can replace it with a regular clear screen protector found on Amazon. I’m planning on using the felt nibs instead also on Amazon. Plus the green n purple color options looks so cool 😎

Hello Teoh! I've been looking into this or the Pro version. Been using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A with S Pen for all my digital art for about a year now. I like it a lot but a bigger screen and being able to handle much higher definition pieces with the power of my PC would be very nice. Just don't have the money to be able to pick it up right now. Hopefully some day.

In my country is about 600 dls :( , still the Best price/Quality option

I have a tough time finding a good example of how this works on android. My phone is compatible but will it work with any Android app? For example, I want it to work with Evernote's sketch feature.

what do you prefer this or the xp pen 13 pro? they both have black friday deals and I'm unsure which to pick

Hello, i have 2.5k monitor and i am curious if when i connect the tablet to my pc to show on my monitor with the tablet screen off to mimic a screenless tab will it be stuck at 1080p or can it be made to match the 2.5k monitor since the screen is off?

OMG NOOOO I GOT MY KAMVAS 13 YESTERDAY AND I PEELED THE FILM THING OFF AND I DIDNT REALISE THE SCREEN PROTECTOR CAME OFF WITH IT I ONLY REALISED I DID IT WHEN I WATCHED THIS VIDEO!!!! I was wondering why it was so shiny now I have to buy a new screen protector ;--;

@Teoh Which one would be better between Kamvas Pro 13 & Kamvas 13?

You Have Great Videos I bought the huion kamvas gt 191 because your older vid now it not very good D: but looking at this one

Hi, what would you say is the best 13 or 16 inch pen display available at the moment?

Such a great tablet

Hi, I can Put it a display protector (This protector in smartphone)? I guess that over time was scratched with the pencil.... no?

oh, mine came early its here already!!!

What is the best program to use with the tablet? For cartoons and logos. I have CORELDRAW on my pc. Is that an option? Good video.
