Product Information

B&H – B&H is a world renowned supplier of all the gear photographers, videographers, and cinematographers need and want to create their very best work. The other side of the coin, of course, is that pen displays come at a higher cost than graphics tablets, which we'll get to shortly. As such, you tend to see fewer pen displays oriented towards beginners, as the initial cost outlay is high enough to deter new users. The downside is the Kamvas Studio 22 uses ageing technology, notably the Intel Core i5 and Intel HD Graphics 630, a fairly old Intel duo that while capable for what you'll need may run into problems down the line. By comparison, the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro makes use of an Intel Core i7 and Apple's iPad Pro 12.9 5th gen features the older but excellent M1 processor – both also come with 4K UHD displays.

Setup

This makes for a quite different drawing experience to that of using a pen display; the setup's less self-contained, and you'll probably need to take a bit of time to get used to the sensation of drawing in one place and seeing the results in another. Still no finger control via display, to zoom or rotate, but you can easily program that to dials and hotkeys, as a workaround You will need to set up your working area, I also suggest a monitor calibration with your pen. Then restart your computer. I had to do this twice, although I am not sure why it didn’t work correctly the first time — a glitch? Kamvas Pro 16 — In use ControlsAt the other end of the scale, professional pen displays are the standard tools of many creative industries and tend to be where the most exciting developments are happening. Huion pen displays are much more affordable than their counterparts from the likes of Wacom, and are well worth looking into if you want a professional-level tool for a budget price. Graphics tablets

This Huion Kamvas 16 (2021) 15.6 inch screen is a great size to draw on and big enough to act as a second screen. Its resolution of 1920 x 1080 (FHD) is perfectly suitable for this size, too. Huion has recently released the smaller Kamvas Pro 13 with a 2.5K (QHD) which is similar in price but the extra screen size pays dividends with the Kamvas 16 (2021) as you get more ‘reach’. In addition to the variety of included goodies, there are a few key features of the Kamvas Pro 16 (2.5K) that are worth calling out. For one, the tablet comes with Huion’s latest PW517 battery-free pen with “PenTech 3.0,” which boasts a more stable drawing experience, lower response time, more precise cursor position, and improved drop resistance. Other specs are similar to most of the battery-free EMR pens out there: 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity, 5080LPI resolution, support for ±60° of tilt, and two programmable buttons built into the pen itself. All of the above makes for a display experience that far outstrips most pen displays in this price range. It almost feels like Huion has shifted focus from the digital artists that usually use these products to the photo editors who are increasingly interested in taking advantage of this technology for themselves.The range also includes a few other options – there's the basic Kamvas 24, which is a similar proposition without the etched glass surface. Then there's also the Kamvas 24 Plus, a pricier version with an expanded contrast ratio and customisable buttons that can be assigned to your preferred functions. Plus, there's a 4K version of the Kamvas Pro 24, for those who need the extra pixels. In the event any user breaks this Agreement, HUION shall have the right to require such user to compensate the loss (including but not limited to fine, indemnification, compensation, penalty, attorney fee, notarization fee and legal cost, etc.) suffered by HUION thereby. Huion’s PW517 stylus is the standard for all of its Kamvas range, pro or not. It has recently been upgraded to Pen Tech 3.0, which lowers where the nib sits in the stylus; lower being more optimal. Regardless of the design intricacies, I’ve used this pen a fair few times and it’s always very dependable. The Huion H420X comes with a Huion's PW100 pen, the same battery-free stylus that comes with most of the brand's Inspiroy and HS tablets and which we found worked well on this budget tablet. The small size means it's not ideal for working on larger monitors, but it's a good option for smaller screens to replace a mouse. It's easy to install and works well with the Huion Sketch app for Android and other programs such as Krita, MediBang, PS and Affinity. We've looked at some pretty hefty Huion drawing tablets so far, but if you're short on space or simply prefer something a little more compact, there are some excellent options available, such as the Huion Kamvas 16. As you might have guessed it has a 16-inch screen, and it weighs 1.26kg; about the same as a fairly large laptop.
