Just a tiny correction about color spaces, adobe rgb and dcip3 are wider than rec709, so the rec709 spec exists within their covered ranges, also rec709 is the same gamut as srgb but with a different gamma curve, as long as you manage your color pipeline any of them will work great, just make sure your monitor is calibrated

Correct and also another correction : from what they said about the color coverage huion screen is better because it covers more of the adobe rgb. And adobe rgb have alot more coverage of green !! Note that to be 100% sure you need to test both with calibration tools, what they said are not correct most of the times !

Best video ever, Brad! These comparison videos are the best, most informative and most useful! They help a lot to understand which is the best option.

Of all these, I chose huion kamvas 19 and I want to say that I am extremely satisfied with my choice. Everything feels and is premium from the pen to the screen and the quality of the lines I really have nothing to complain about. I even made a cover and traveled with it! I recommend Huion to everyone instead of Wacom. Just one thing if I have to hang on to something, when I close my Macbook pro M1 max laptop it turns on because of the current received from the tablet, a little annoying thing.

Have you got clamshell mode disabled ?

I'm running my Huion 19 from one cable, I have a Asus Thunderbolt 4 card in my pc and it outputs 100w for charging, as long as the usbc cable is 20ghz or more and can charge it does run from just 1 cable. I just bought 2 x 3m cables from amazon with right angle connectors for £20.. it works fine :) I posted a quick video of mine on the Huion sub on reddit.

The fact that huion can get in the ring with cintiq's pro line is pretty extraordinary on its own considering the difference in price; 4k, touch screen, 16k pressure level pens that are more akin to the cintiq style (2 different pens in the box to boot, with the felt nibs as a bonus)... pretty much all the bells and whistles of the cintiq missing only features that studio professionals would need use of One of the artists for DC Comics apparently uses one occasionally for work and likes it, even compared to his Cintiq products

I think international customer support and warranty is something that should be considered as well. Rest assured both huion's and wacom's customer support is great, but not sure if Huion has a 2 year warranty like wacom does. Longevity and quality is something to look at as well since if I'm spending this much money, it should work for more than x number of years. :)

A real shame the Huion touch features don’t work when connected to a Mac. I really hope they plan on addressing that, as that seems like a big segment of people that they could possibly be missing out on.

Great comparison Brad, always appreciate your videos. But just a little feedback - I think you glossed over the price discrepancy a bit too much in the final summary/recommendation. For two high end drawing tablets which are incredibly similar, the fact that you could buy TWO Huions for less than one Wacom is something significant to mention. Value per dollar the Huion seems like the obvious choice between the two unless you required the colour accuracy/Mac multitouch

Hi Brad. Great content as always. Check out 8:09 , you accidentally said XP pen instead of Huion.

Mr Brad! I trust your opinion completely! Much continued success both in your channel and artwork! Rob

Really hoping to see XP-PEN catch up in the monitor resolution/size area because I do like their drivers more than Huion, but I'd happily take both those options at this point for really any artist. Wacom's color profiles seem like a silly expense when you have a matte finish and pen markings... just get a secondary reference monitor with a preview. I also feel like their basic pen has taken a nosedive in quality. At this point something like Xencelabs is far more compelling in the "premium" price bracket. It's also interesting to see multi-touch become so much more of a make or break for people, I attribute that a lot to Procreate and tablets in general but still can't help but worry about terrible palm rejection.

They all seem nice, great comparison. I'm happy with the ones I've got, they're working well, though my Huion Kamvas 16 2021 only is 1080p, but on that size it's fine. Might upgrade one day to 2.5k one. On a larger size, 4k would be nice, but the 2.5k on my Huion Kamvas 22 Plus works fine. I bought the PW550s pen end of last year and it works on both of them. Yes, it's not having the PenTech 4.0, but I really wonder how much difference there is between that and PenTech 3.0+. For me having a slim pen is most important, don't like those bulky ones. I also like how the same pen works on both of my devices. Don't know about touch. I'm not too impressed with touch on Windows, it's a hit and miss. I had a touchscreen, but when buying a larger size pen display the beginning of this year, I decided to save some money and not get a touch one. I'm so used the remote keydial that I'm not even missing touch at all. Half of the software I use doesn't even support touch features and on those false input messes things up, I prefer non touch.

I just got a Kamvas 19 Pro and I'm not sure how to feel about it. It's impossible to double click. Sometimes it randomly disconnects from my computer. In Clip Studio, there's a weird 3 inch offset from the stylus sometimes and I have to disconnect it to fix it. It just feels quirky and unstable. I've tried a Wacom (non-pro) 16 and it feels about the same as far as the drawing experience goes, though. I'm wondering if XP-Pen would have been the better choice.

i'd love to see the xencelabs in there, I've seen reviews (Brad's included) but i think i'd be very useful to compare it head to head with the ones in the video.

i would be super excited to hear your thoughts on the xp pen artist 24 pro, looks like you get a lot for the price point.

What about latency? I'm assuming you didn't mention it because they're pretty much all excellent and comparable? If so, that's great for Huion and I will strongly consider going with them whenever I get a new tablet.

Some side by side shots would be nice when comparing them.

I gave up with waiting for wacom to create 19-20 inch screen with more than fhd but less than 4k res, and just went for an intuos pro at this point lol. My back and neck will thank me at least, after working on cintiq13 for past 10 years. I think it would take huion to send me a tablet for free for me to ever try them again, I've had 3 bad experiences with them, I don't know if I need to get any more.

Hey Brad - would you be able to do some sort of ergonomics/artist setup 'review'? I used pen tablets all my working career so far, but last year got the xppen artist 16 v2 - and whilst I love it, I just can't get comfortable while using it?!! I've tried it at different positions, heights, and I realised that pen tablets whilst having that added learning curve of looking at a screen whilst drawing on a tablet, in some ways are easier to use! For example having your hand covering a lot of the screen is a little annoying (I mostly do 3D) so whilst I love the pen display, I do sometimes wonder if I should go back to a pen tablet!! Anyway, thanks for the great content - I always look forward to your next video!!!

Some people do just fair better with pen tablets, and that's okay. One of the perks of traditional pen tablets is that they have better ergonomics, and just...are better for one's posture. For me, and I think it's down to my particular flavour of neurodivergency, I couldn't get the hand-eye coordination down with traditional pen tablets, so pen displays are easier in that respect.

I have been waiting for this one

Hmm. There might be custom options out there?

How the Huion 19 and XP-Pen compare to their past Pen Tech? I did a custom test a couple months ago. I tested three non-screen tablets: Wacom Intuos Pro M, Xencelabs Pen Tablet M and Huion Inspired 2. The last one is just the most advanced Pen Tech before this new range of 16k Huion tablets and screens. Tested in Rebelle 7, a software which is very sensitive with pressure and tilt. The best by far is the Xencelabs. Then Wacom, so close that can be considered almost the same. But the Huion one was very lackluster; enough to draw and paint, and sure you will not notice that difference if you don't do a direct comparison like I did. But there's that difference. BTW, it would be nice if you do more comprehensive tilt tests in your review. Maybe for drawing isn't needed, but for painters, the Tilt is a very important feature.

can you talk about Rebelle 7 ? it looks good but no one talkes about it

Good video, but it would be even better if you covered two more items... The first and possibly most important missed item... IAF. How does the initial activation force compare? It needs a hair trigger! :). If it can draw under it's own weight, that's good. That means you can fully customize the feel of the pen. If you have to exert pressure to draw, not good. I haven't tried huion or xp pen, but so far reviews seem to indicate they lag in this area. The second thing... much minor in the grand scope of things... do the drivers for huion or xp pen allow touch to be limited to on-screen programmable menus? (like the radial menus or button grids you can make with wacom). In fact, did you know that wacom allows you to limit touch to only radial menus and button grids? Incredibly useful at times.

Hey Brad - have you ever connected a pen display to an iPAD pro. i.e. creating a larger drawing surface but with the iOS apps and interface? Does it even work? thanks

Brad, would you consider weighting in your reviews the lifespan of these tablets, too? Ive worked with wacom tablets for about 15 years, never had a single one die on me. 3 months ago I started using Huion and Ive been loving as much, if not more, than the wacoms. Only thing I wonder is if the price cut means a shorter lifespan too? (amongst other things ofc)

Kamvas pro 24 doesn't have pen 4.0 support. The pens it supports have a terrible IAF (initial activation pressure) which makes it very annoying for people with light touch.

i work on my laptop with a decent screen of 90% ish of adobe rgb and and draw on a cintiq pro 16 i bought this year. ive never appreciated my external monitor which was a 1080p shitty colour space philips cheapo monitor as much as i do now. i always found that my illustrations always looked worse and lacked dimension when viewed on any monitor besides the cintiq and my laptop. now i adjust my colours such that it looks great even on my philips cheapo and its such a game changer! with my blacks now dark enough but contrasty enough to be readable even wit the shitty monitor, the general articulation of my values and my forms are elevated. tldr; there are more important things than colour accuracy for artists in a drawing tablet. having too good of a screen may even be deceptive for the inexperienced because colours would be more vivid than on lesser screens.

Its good to see other people talk abt expensive tablet while I am here with my wacom intuos lol (but hey! I love it, and I love drawing, and thats way more important!)

I think the biggest problem with huion is the warranty, I have spent 1k USD on a kamvas 24 4k and unfortunately after a year of using it, it started having a red line on the display which is a bad sign. Now in my country they dont have a repair center and i dont even know what to do with it. And with a bit of research i came to a conlusion that huion devices are just not repairable, so if it breaks its gone.

Rec 709 is not a higher colour profile, it is the basic SDR. You are mistaking it for Rec 2020 which is for HDR

How have these change since the huion 16 2021?

Rec 709 is just normal srgb, dci p3 and Adobe rgb are bigger color spaces. One of the biggest is rec 2020, and not even the most expensive professional monitor covers 90% of it. So there is not much advantage of Wacom there. I think you are mixing rec 709 with rec 2020, they are not the same

Thanks for the nice comparison. Honestly, I'm waiting for Medibang Pro to release for Windows and I will get either a Huion or XP-Pen large display. I'm not happy with any of the art options on Windows and, while I like my Samsung S7 Fe, it still feels incredibly cramped to draw on and I'm craving a much bigger display.

I get to use an old wacom tablet at my college and it feels way better to rest my hand on then the HS611. I don't care much for the eraser but pen 4.0 would still be a great to add to.

I just wonder how safe it is to use an xp pen/huion/whatever chinese tablet with chinese drivers that might do just about anything? Anyone know anything about this?

This is why competition is important.

Over the last year and a half, I've been casually drawing on an S8 Ultra... But that has changed over time to be more frequent drawing because I've gotten so much more comfortable with it, and part of that is the refresh rate. I'm thinking a few years down the line that I may buy a larger Huion display, provided that they catch up in terms of the refresh rate. 60Hz feels too slow now (keep in mind I'm used to a 240hz monitor, so my eyes _do_ detect the difference between 60, 120, and 240hz).

I've been tempted to go for the XP pen, as the resolution matches my laptop monitor, so it'd play really nice I think. Waiting on a good deal though, since it's a bit pricey for me atm. I'm nothing if not a cheapskate.

The color stuff... the covering of the REC 709 is more a matter of if they documented it or not... (or passed certain tests). Not that the colors wouldn't be there. Nothing wrong in the video, I'm just adding some spice...or... well, there is sth to point out: REC 709 is not more professional (other times is Huion or XP who put the specs "REC 709" instead of sRGB...), or better than even sRGB, they're pretty equivalent. But it's correct to say that for some very specific field's professionals, Rec 709 is the current standard color space for broadcast tv...(not in every place or region). People dedicated to video handle that standard a lot. But as this channel is more focused on illustrators, comic artists, digital painters (I hope I'm right on this), rather than colorists (for video/film/TV), cinematographers, people working for TV... It's IMHO safe to say that even for those of us (illustrators) wanting always the best color in our artwork, for our use, sRGB and REC 709 are nearly identical, sRGB contains all those colors. Now, Adobe RGB is another much better beast (for our use), the big, important target (there are other color spaces even wider, used in Photography, but us illustrators and designers should go after Adobe RGB 95% - 100% coverage). Meaning, covering a lot fewer colors, REC 709 is very similar to sRGB (referred to different gamma... I prefer when they just say 99% sRGB, is less confusing for most people) but seems marketing folks often prefer to refer instead to REC 709, dunno the exact reason; maybe it's part of what is said in the video, so that people working on Animation, TV and video see the standard they work with, confirmed... But in practice, for digital art, graphic design, Photography, comic, etc, for all of these fields and uses it is "kind of" equivalent to sRGB (even if it's a different animal in terms of standards). So, both tablets support that kind of colors range. Even more so in terms of how many colors are _not_ left out, it's quite good news, as they support 88% or Adobe RGB in the case of Wacom (which is a quite wider space than the other two, and than P3. BTW, DCI P3 is slightly better color space than sRGB, but not as wide as Adobe RGB. Some colors are in the latter which would not show up in all the other profiles mentioned, one of my reasons to prefer to work only in Adobe RGB and if anything, convert to sRGB at the very end, if _really_ needed for the target...ie, to maximize compatibility with web browsers) . And Huion covers a 96% Adobe RGB. My issue with that part of the specs (and it's a big one) is that in deep reviews about color (certain labs and hardware publications), I've seen how after hardware calibration (colorimeters), Wacom stays with a fine % of coverage, while the 96 oor 94% of Huion and XP tend to go quite down once calibrated. I don't know if it's over hyped in specs (marketing people does this since always, can't blame them, tho), over estimated, of measured differently, but so many tests wouldn't lie... Anyway, even if it _really_ was an 88 or 85 in the case of Huion, in "reality", it'd still be quite good for the typical artist. I gotta say, in print projects and of course on screen, I do notice when a professional screen (an Eizo covering fully Adobe RGB) is able to show those colors. It's a different planet. Even while I have to "dumb it down" (sRGB, P3, converted to a specific CMYK color, or etc) to look right and not weird on mainstream screens (tho this is changing with the OLED and QLED screens). And I'm a painter! Certain professionals in photography do notice it a lot more. All to say that... at least on paper the two tablets are pretty similar, in the listed specs, about color coverage (REC 709 listed in Wacom's specs sheet doesn't indicate that it provides wider color coverage, or it being more pro, but could make ppl working for TV, video, animation, feel better). My issue with all these products, is that when calibrating, and doing deep tests, Wacom tends to end up with better results in color and image quality. And... in general, comparing technically similar products; like not only in color, also in things like contrast ratio, black levels, etc, these tend to go down more with these two brands than with Wacom, once calibrated. Still, even a Kamvas 22 from a few years ago serves me for non critical color work (for that I have the Eizo and a regular Wacom (large) pen tablet), but being a quite older device, I notice in that old Kamvas (besides it's just sRGB) some color aberrations, even after calibrated with a good colorimeter, and compensation in several ways is not enough to fix it well. But even that one would work for most artists not needing color accuracy (which is quite a few... or... the color problems will happen! But in many cases that would probably not damage seriously their income, if there's any). These days I suspect these products are way better than before, and GREAT bang for the buck, no doubt (I would NOT spend 2500 on a pen display! even less for just a 17" ). But according to certain other reviewer, who went really deep in pen tech - excluding the almost-full-failure of "The One" branch of pen displays in Wacom- it's much better in Wacom (this includes pen tablets, as well). Yet I think the other two brands' products are now quite functional.

Please can you compare those with Ipads? Spatially PEN side. I have iPad air 5 . I got a deal of 500$ for Huion Kamvas 22 Plus . Should i sell my iPad air 5 to get that. I am a game developer i do need them for drawing ghibli style arts. And i also needs lots of high res layers which iPad 8gb RAM can't handle.. Please anwser🥰🥰🥰🥰

They are different things. Ipads have processors in them, these screens Brad reviews are displays, they still need to plug in a computer.

I am asking for drawings experience . I have a high end pc

I heard that you may have some problems with using XP Pen Drivers together with Wacom Drivers, so it would be best to stick with one brand. Does this issue still exist?

Damn.. I was about to buy huion 22 plus and they put out this stuff 😂 now I'm afraid of buying this one because maybe next year they will bring something even better and cheaper 😂

i had a cintiq pro 22 touch that i loved and it broke on me. screen wouldn't power on for me any more. Wacom wanted nearly the cost of a new screen to try and repair it. Got an older Kamvas 16 and while i love it I really miss the touch function and the physical size of the larger screen. plus the 1080 resolution is a but small for drawing clip studio. I think this review has convinced me to save up for the kamvas 19 pro. only thing i would be missing would be the shortcut keys, but i'm willing to give those up for the smaller front bezel and get the little shortcut keypad....i wonder if the dial on that pad can be used to scrub footage in divinci resolve.....

@@pOgOstyle ooh sorry it was the cintiq 22hd touch. Got the model name wrong. I had it for like 2.5 years before it died. Would power on but the screen never lights up anymore

My huion kamvas pro 24 turned off for no reason after 2 years and never managed to turn It on again no matter what i tried. Never going for huion tablets again

Speaking as a person with Tetrachromia, does animation, etc etc. I'm not sure *anyone* needs these color format things, at least, not in the last decade. They're all really close.

Brad trying to be really kind with wacom...he knows we know it's not worth the price difference.

You failed to mention that Wacom has a 120hz display which is a big deal for drawing and general use.

Higher refresh rate isn’t noticeable when drawing tbh. Once you get at least 75hz it all starts to feel the same

Xiaomi mipad 6s pro is out and has Mi AI Art. I'm curious how usable is that feature in term of doing art stuffs

I currently have a Huion 22 plus, and as much as I like the hardware, the software issues drive me crazy (or at least that’s what I think they are), it disconnects randomly, when I use too much my gpu (like when I’m using blender or other hungry tasks) pen stop being recognized, sometimes it only works when I disconnect my main monitor, sometimes when I start the computer is not recognized and I have to restart the computer (is not the cable, got a second one to check) basically when it works, it does it like a charm, excellent feel, latency, parallax, ok thermals, excellent pressure sensitivity, but when you need to use it under a death line and a random problem appears that many users on the internet are having but there’s no info o how to solve it, it just kills the consistency of the product in a professional environment, the cintiq 13hd that I had before NEVER failed neither the 8 years old intuos 4 I currently use.

Sounds like XP- Pen won! 🎉

Wacom is like Beta in VHS. Better quality but, the mass ended up buying the more affordable VHS format and Beta ended up outpricing themselves for most consumers and out of the running.

I´m wondering if the Huion Kamvas Pro 19 can be carried around in a large laptop backpack without danger of damage like display cracks due to pressure or other forces acting on it while on one´s back.

I'm still using the original cintiq Companion. While I originally did use the touch controls, I had to turn them off because the latest Wacom drivers ruined palm rejection. Since then, I've been relying on a keypad and haven't looked back. So while it's nice that Huion is catching up to Wacom's features, I would like to see a cheaper version of the Kamvas Pro 19 that doesn't have any touch capability at all.

10 bit panels? Or 120hz?

Not sure animators need super accurate colors mate. They are not dealing so much with color as they are with movement

The character animators don’t, you’re right, but there are color graders as part of the production pipeline in the studio who have the accuracy concerns Brad points out.

But REC 709 does not warranty more accuracy... it's just a extremely similar (in color coverage) standard to sRGB (sRGB contains all those colors), but the one (REC 709) largely used in TV (it's the standard fo HDTV, I think), film, in general in color grading for video, etc (so, surely more compatibility with their software, tools, etc; like prepared to import/export with that spec, etc). It does not mean higher quality in color accuracy, neither wider color range. Adobe RGB color space coverage is the important data for illustrators, designers, digital painters, etc. It is much wider than REC 709, sRGB, and DCI P3 (P3 being a bit wider than sRGB, though).

So Huion not having touch working on Mac exemplifies my view on the Wacom competitors. When I last tried them the issue that turned me off was not the drawing feel but the driver polish. At the end of the day, this is a tool to make my work more efficient. And for professionals, there are two types of tools. The tools you use because you have no choice and the tools you choose to use. With the tools you choose, like a pen display, PC hardware, computer, or certain software, Money is rarely the deciding factor. Color gamut, draw feel, and pressure levels again are rarely the deciding factor. The deciding factor is how much time is it going to save and what is the friction when using the tool. Huion and XP had a lot of friction. Their drivers were bad. There were a lot of broken features. They are much better now but I want to know that I can swap computers and still have all the features I paid for. At the end of the day. I want it to work out of the box. Be easy to configure and once I've configured it I want to be able to go to any new environment and be up and running as easily as possible

Wacom is 98% Adobe RGB, not 88% as you stated.

welp. Huion is good choice. Price, weight, size, precision

Wacom has Mac touch support; Huion does not. If Huion can't figure out why something can obviously be done, than they lose me as a customer. Plus, their drivers really suck.

hope huion stays out of the ridiculous high end colourschemes... we dont need another wacom we need a wacom alternative that draws good and is more then half cheaper..

you need the colour features that wacom offers regardless of what medium your final work will be in.

16k penpressure? if you divide the less then 1 mm movement the nib can make when you put pressure on it by 4000 or 8000 or 16000 you wont notice the difference at all

all wacom has to do is drop their price and people will but it

I’m concerned about longevity. Anything other than Wacom seem to degrade after a year or so. Complaints about glitches, sketchy pen strokes, and even the display screen dimming. It’s the only reason why I’m afraid to buy from a competitor. Could you please speak on these things?

I still think the rds-220 is the one for most artists

What?! As in the Hydrogen Bomb?

Don’t take this guy’s advice. He just tells you to buy whatever he’s getting paid to sell. I bought one of these Huion’s a year ago and it has never worked well. There’s always some sort of issue with it.

Huion just needs to improve their screens. I'm not used to that feeling. I like to use a smoother surface.
