HUIONKamvas Pro 13 2.5K QHD Graphics Monitor Drawing Tablet with Screen QLED Full Lamination Battery-Free Stylus PW517 for Windows PC, Mac, Android, 13.3inch Digital Drawing Tablet Pen Display

literally one of the greatest purchases of my life. dead serious. i usually wait a few months to review something to be sure it's as good a review as possible, and i got this bad boy all the way back in December last year, and oh my god, it's so good. it has pressure sensitivity; the screen is very clear and very nice. i do think the colors are slightly different than how they appear on my laptop screen, but it's honestly not much of an issue, it's so minor.also, in case someone didn't read any of the description, you cannot use it without having it connected to another device, so just be aware of that.also also, i know a lot of brands do this, but i just love that there are extra pen nibs in the pen holder; all you have to do is twist it open btw. also, human error, but my pen is actually broken in the middle after i stepped on it lol, but surprisingly it still works, so i guess that counts as durability? lolstill not sure what the buttons on the side do, but i honestly don't think i even need them. though, if anyone can, please do explain them to me hahathe stand is also really nice!! i usually prefer to hold the tablet itself in my lap or something, but if you don't really do that, the stand works perfectly well, and it can be adjusted to a pretty nice range of angles. i will say for me personally, the angles are all a bit flat, hence why i prefer to hold it, but y'know what, that feels about right to me.also, last note, but i love that you just click the button on the pen closer to the nib to switch to eraser mode, it's the most convenient thing ever :Dthat's all! i know nobody read this, but if anyone did, i hope i could help!! all around, i definitely do recommend this drawing tablet as an affordable option, it's just a good tablet man :)

Preface:I have owned a variety of drawing tablets and use them daily for my work. I have previously only ever used Wacom tablets, going back as far as pre-bamboo days. I use tablets on a nearly daily basis for my job. But I have never used a display-screen drawing tablet. But if there was an all-encompassing way I can describe the experience of upgrading from a standard drawing tablet to a display-screened tablet it would be: "Game Changer"The tablet is packaged as well has you would both hope and expect from a drawing tablet of this price range. Every bit of packaging is secure and intentional.Setup was quick and easy, no hassle.The tablet itself is a really good weight. Heavy enough that it feels like it isn't going to just fly out of your hands if you shift in your chair, but not weighty enough to feel like a burden if you need to grab it with one hand.The stand that it comes with for your lap with the varying heights is... strangely beautifully designed. Of all the things, the stand is made with stunning engineering and it looks and feels great, and is exceptionally collapsible.Turning on the display, it's really nice and bright, with sharp, crisp colors. Whatever material the screen is made out of, or coated in, gives the display that very subtle stippled color "screen protector" look. I thought that would bother me and affect the drawings but it's pretty unnoticeable after just a short while.I've never noticed any lag with the tablet, nor any stuttering or visible refresh rate. All lines have drawn butter smooth.The pen is comfortable and easy to use, and coupled with a tablet glove (one of those funky ring and pinky finger gloves) it just glides across the surface.The side buttons are fantastic and I really can't get over the middle sliding "button". I normally keep it configured to zoom in photoshop, but I love that you can cycle through functions. This slide is a lot like the dial on the Intuos Pro tablet… except better executed. (I stopped using the Intuos dial because it never felt right. It was always way too sensitive and swapping between functions was annoying on it.)The difference using this display tablet over my previous Intuos Pro is… well it makes me shake my head at my own arguments I've had that I didn't need the expense of upgrading to a display tablet. That it wouldn't make that big of a difference, and that I'd still face most of the awkwardness and pitfalls that come with using a graphics tablet. How mistaken I was. If you ever have frustration at redrawing the same darn line 50 times and you use tablets for your living… don't baulk at the price or what seems like an unnecessary upgrade. I should have jumped from my bamboo tablet straight into a display tablet. It would have saved me hundreds of hours of work and frustration.I'm a cheap girl. I like things to work, work well, and be cheap. Those are the credentials to keep me happy. And boy does this tablet satisfy all of those.The tablet itself aside, Huion is an amazing brand. It's one of those brands that falls under the price range of items that make you scratch your chin and think it must be too good to be true. But they've not yet disappointed me with any product. There will always be one or two things that could be nit-picked, but at the end of the day you're saving a huge amount of money for a brand that will do right by you, and deliver a stunning product at a very affordable price point. And this tablet is no different.The ONE thing I would like to add to the tablet, is actually an addition to the software. I loved the Intuos' radial dial menus that you could program. It made creating a LOT of quick shortcuts really easy and fast. But lacking that sort of feature isn't enough to even knock this tablet down a fraction of a start for me.

First, out of the box, there may be a slight jitter when drawing straight lines. But here's the secret sauce: do the necessary updates and calibrate it. After this simple process, the jitter is virtually gone, and you'll be sketching smooth lines like a pro.Secondly, while the Kamvas Pro 13 is fantastic, it doesn't quite reach the pinnacle of Wacom's quality.
