One of the very rare reviews by someone who actually draws and draws beautifully well (talking just about those who are into line art and inking). Thank you, sir!
Just got this today, as a first pen display this thing is awesome. For anyone else with multiple monitors trying to get the touch on just the pen display go to control panel > tablet pc settings > setup > touch input and enter past the other monitors and tap on the pen display.
Big fan of your art. Glad I found your channel. The fact you do reviews on tech too for these products is awesome as it’s from a pro and matches more what I’m looking to find out about them. Thank you!
I currently own the Cintiq 24 Pro, the 2020 model, and the thing is now starting to crap out. Odd because I bought the 22 HD cintiq many years ago and that one never gave me ANY issues. I guess what I am seeing is that each new model has more issues or drawbacks but their prices keep going up. I do professional illustration and also teach at the local university where I am the illustration instructor. The reason I am telling you this is because I am going to have to get a new tablet pretty soon, but I watched your review and I see how great your art looks using this new Huion. The question I have, is for the price would the Huion Kamvas Pro 19 or Pro 27 be not only a substitute for the newest super expensive Wacom cintiqs, but would you either put it at equal or better, or less prefered for working every day with it. I just want to know because the prices of the new Pro cintiqs are basically like buying a used car now. If you get the stand and protection plan with the 27 Pro, you are looking at almost 5000.00. To me it is starting to seem like it is not worth the price. I just want to do my illustrations. Please help and please let me know your professional opinion.
I am a beginner artist, but i already know this is for me. I am looking into this as a "starter" but still professional gateway into digital art. Thank you for the review I was worried i would need to go for the 24 inch options which are as you know considerably more expensive. Im glad this is a good middle ground that isnt too small.
Very informative video. I’m still rocking an ancient Wacom with NO display like a Neanderthal. When I absolutely have to look into hardware upgrades, gonna give Huion a try. Thanks buddy! Hope we get into another show together
I have the Acer Concept D 9 pro with the only 17.3 Wacom digitizer at 4k, I can tell you that the size is perfect. you do not need anything larger. So This Huion at 18.4 showuld be perfect
Thank for your review .Your art is really amazing! glad you doing youtube stuff. It help me a lot , As now wacom launching movink 13 but I think it a bit too small for studio use.
Thank you for the review. Could you elaborate on the pen a little? Since you’ve used Wacom’s Pro Pens (versions 1, 2, and 3, I understand), how does this one compare to them in regard to the initial activation force? Which one requires the least amount of pressure to register a stroke, or a click when interacting with a UI element?
The activation seems to be there. But it's not a game changer. maybe it's less perceptible because of the way i draw, Almost full force , all the time. My Inkers had to deal with my unerasable cayon when i used to pencil on paper 😥. But i think i can perceived it. I mean, from 8k level to 16 k level , eventually we are going to land out of the human ability to differentiate levels. One ridicules thing , I feel the Huion pen just a bit more slippery. I had to adjust my grip. The latest Wacom pen tapper slightly larger toward the end, stopping my finger to slide. No big deal. drive.google.com/file/d/1oM7viKRuSDGVeRjFY_bFqnb9TKPzmoVc/view?usp=sharing
Hey Yanick, a review I read on Amazon mentioned that the stabiliser wasn't up to par, causing "delay": "All that being said, I'm returning this tablet for the exact same reason I returned every other huion tablets I tried. I just can't bring myself to like the built-in stabilizer huion has, and there's no option to adjust or turn it off. Not a big issue for people who always use stabilizer anyway, but I wish huion would add option to adjust the stabilization or just take it off completely, because its making every other non huion tablets feel so much snappier and responsive to the pen, while huion feel slightly slow with every input, its such a waste." What do you make of this? In videos such as yours and others' and hearing other reviews, this never came up and in fact the opposite was cited, as you yourself have mentioned. I also noted that even though it looks a bit delayed in your video, I realised that you were drawing at some 850 dpi on a huge canvas too, so that's expected Also, how do you compare the etched glass "blurriness" to tablets that were just flat glass or without etching? E.g. I use a Wacom 16 HD, which has the regular factory matte film to mimic some paper feel but doesn't diffract light the same way etched glass would. Plus, mine is 1080p and this is 4K. From pictures it does look slightly grainy blurry but I don't know how it would look to me when actually sitting in front of it.
hey. The huion 19 is definitely more blurry than my Studio pro 16. But so are recent models from wacom too. I honestly hoped both company would stir away for etched glass, What's the point of moving to 4k but then loose a lot of that crispness to etched diffraction. Still , i don't think i could work on 1080p anymore, ive good too used to 4k. I didn't feel a delay problem compare to wacom. But in Clip studio i always add maybe 10% stabilisations to help with my inks and so I'm used to a lot of delay i guess. One thig to notate, using the felt nid add a bit of friction and physical drag to the lines, i move to the plastic one as i felt i was getting exhausted fighting frictions (I'm that feeble)
@@yanickpaquette8602 I see! Yeah I don't like this etched glass stuff, but I haven't used it so can't be sure other than pictures I've seen of the light diffraction that results in the blurriness. If you say you can't go back to 1080p despite this, would it be safe to say that overall it's better than 1080p? For instance, the pixelation of 1080p is worse than the blurriness of 4K etched glass? Perhaps I should ask, is the blurriness more a factor for menu items and text one expects to be crisp but in actual drawings, the lines don't really get affected as it ends up being more "organic"? On my Wacom I know there is a matte film which gives some resistance, although I don't know how to explain it other than that I can "hear" it and that's a bit annoying to me lol. I do use the felt nib or some rubber nib, the plastic one while being smoother ends up making that annoying squeaky scratchy noise a lot. So perhaps I am feeble as you, but sometimes I read that if it were a flat glass it'd be uncontrollably slippery. The only thing I have to compare to is experience of using a marker on glass which never felt impossible so perhaps I'd be okay with less resistance too. I had a whacky idea - using a tool to grind/sand down the etched glass until it's flat 😂😂 I wonder if that would work haha ... if anyone reading has an old spare etched glass tablet or something try it out 😋
Hi Yanick. Loved your review. For about 10 years I have been drawing all of my final screen printing designs and other print designs on an iPad and it drives me crazy. I use and app and connect to my iMac desktop. I really need to move into a better & larger way to work. Originally I thought I would purchase a 16 inch pen display but that would be too small. The large ones are too big for my desk. This one looks like a good size. Do you think it is a big enough without feeling too cramped for space to work? Thanks so much.
This thing looks like it would be perfect for storyboards. Perfect size for boards and you don't to have, or to pay for, the high end color representation of the current Wacom Pros.
In all my years I’ve never scratched a screen. Or at least in anyway substantial. Those felt or plastic nibs are perfectly secure. Phone get scratched cause they can encounter keys in a pocket or sand.
Wow i love that last name lol. You related to anyone here in ontario? Great vid. I totally forgot about the pro art monitors, i have 2 32 inch msi 4k monitors maybe i should grab a proart to match the colors to that pad. I am a pointillism artist and i only do black and white as well. Be interesting to see how it reacts to dots.
Good review. Im wanting the 27 but Ive had another huion tablet before. Its pen wasnt up to par with the pressure curve even tho it had double levels. Hopefully they fixed that and are the same as wacom. You didnt complain about it so im guessing its fixed
@@yanickpaquette8602 I hear the new pens are better tech. But also hear they still not as good as wacom. I hope I wont regret getting the 27.. the main thing im worried about is the 1 year warranty. Youd think these devices would have longer warranty for being so much. some peoples screen died right after warranty and they wont repair it. Guess we will see.. If they fail me ill never stray from wacom again.
Hi, I'm interested in purchasing this product! Can you tell me more about the writing pressure? The previous Huion model I was using had very bold lines that popped out at the slightest pressure, does this one have a smooth delicate pressure even at medium pressure?
Its not a problem that I ever had. Some tablet , like the older 24hd can get warm or downright hot like the mobile studio 16 ( which is also a computer and not a very well ventilated one) - but that huion didn’t seem to have heat problem. I’m sure its easy to clean if you do sweat on it too. There’s always that little glove too that can help
Nice videos and work! If I may, I would like to ask you something. I Bought, 1 and a half year ago, a Huion kamvas pro 4k 24". It is ok for me... but what bothers me in this screen is some extra weight I have to apply in my hand and arm to it begin to show the line...i am used to draw and sketch with those ink pens on paper with very light hand.. I tested an ipad and it also gives me this "lightness" as I barely touch the screen and the lines are there. Unfortunately, when I am using my huion, it demands this little strength from my arm that take away part of the fluidity in my sketching process. I don't know.. maybe I am lucky to have a tough one.. I don't know if cintiqs have this gap in sensibility or if they are more responsive, like an IPad for example. I am searching for this opportunity to test one cintiq someday. Have you (or anyone) ever felt this difference in responsiveness in huion screens? Thks!
Greetings brother. I would appreciate it very much if you share your views on Huion kamvas 16 inch 2.5 k display tablet. I am going to purchase it next week after watching many reviews. Also its in my budget. Thanks
Im trying to figure out if i should get the kamvas 27 pro or the wacom cintiq pro 24, which would you pick if you had to choose, knowing what you do now?
Good dilemma, they are about the same price. I work on the 24 pro at the studio and I’m happy with the size, but something I could use so extra inch to bring a video to match as I draw or references . I bought it before the huion 27 existed. I didn’t try the h27 but it shouldn’t be more different than the 19 performance wise. The cintiq has no leg and the associated ergo stand is fantastically expensive ( but admittedly very good) . If you can use the display extra real estate you should go huion. They are both the same size on a desk , huion having a much slimmer bezel
@@yanickpaquette8602 Price for me is not a problem, neither is weight or space, so if it’s between Wacom with the expensive arm or Huion? Because I wanna be 100% sure before I spend 2000 dollars 😂
@@yanickpaquette8602 and the reason I’m asking is because, Wacom has been industry standard, and I know it’s high quality, I know many many professionals like yourself use it. But the huion and other off brand have very little information behind them. Compared to Wacom
Is there any distance between the tablet LCD and the pen because of the glass or is it gapless like the iPad? Do you happen to know if the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 is better or worse in that regard?
same tiny parallaxes, almost imperceptible , both Wacom and huions the same. Maybe the iPad is a micro-hair better on that front, but we are reaching the limit of human perception and when you draw you don't register it after a single stroke.
@@kalle8960 yes, you can, but you don't necessarily have to buy the expensive version! many people use, for example, the wacom intuos/pro version, which is an affordable product. if you really need the display version, then there is/ the cheaper cintiq. unfortunately, you have to pay for quality, and it's no accident that the price is as high as it is! I used both xpen and huion, but I couldn't get used to the pen! so totally worth the price to me!

Are you using software pen stabilization in this video? It seems like there's some amount of cursor lag, and I've seen people complain about non-adjustable hardware level pen stabilization with Huion tablets, so I was curious if that was something particular with your setup or a quirk of the tablet.
I think some of that footage is slowed down a bit , making it look worse than it is. It’s not different than my Cintiq. I use a touch of software stabilization usually, 8-10% in clip studio.
