About this deal

With regards to the pen smoothness/jitter, my pen test results certainly show the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 to have better results, but you can clearly tell that it’s not something that massively impacts drawing performance as you don’t see any of that in my actual drawing.

At least, I remember that’s how the pen/brush function works in Windows, and I can’t be sure if it works the same in MacOS. I think we can rule out that it is a XP-Pen MacOS driver issue due to the fact that Brad Colbow’s review is also done using MacOS, yet he did not report these same issues.As expected, the colours are not calibrated, but the default settings are okay albeit a bit strong on the blues.

I do think I’m over-thinking it a bit re the pen accuracy, as the off-set/parallax difference is probably in the single digit pixels, and only noticeable if you use both very soon after the other, but other than that, it’s something anyone would adapt to in no time at all. The Wacom Cintiq 16 has integrated, foldable legs, while the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 has an optional stand (that can also lay flat when needed).If you do not take this layer off, you will not get to experience the actual matte texture of the screen beneath it. The two bigger buttons at the top and bottom are unprogrammable with one of them being the power button, and the other being the function switch button (which doubles as the OSD settings button). Still a bit concerned about the effects of pen tilt on the Huion, as I’m only just getting back into drawing so I’m not entirely sure how my handling of the pen would affect accuracy – is the XP Pen any better, or does it suffer in a comparable way when tilting the pen?

I also never noticed the cursor lagging so far behind the pen that it was a problem, so it gets a pass here. By the contrary, on Reddit a lot of people complain about this aspect about Huion(Wacom too, but in a low level). I have no questions left in my mind 🙂 don’t have a device to calibrate, can you share the calibrated color profile file? com/item/HUION-Kamvas-Pro-16-GT-156-Graphic-tablet-Drawing-tablet-Digital-Monitor-8192-Levels-with-Shortcut/33016749008. One, when I set it to 180, it makes the cursor go to the opposite side of the screen from wherever I put the pen down.

Several did complain on the pen calibration but it wasn’t severe to the point it hugely disrupted work flow based on their experience (which is good! To access the OSD settings for this tablet, you have to press and hold the bottom shortcut key (the touch bar function switch button) for about 2 seconds until the button lights up and the OSD settings appear on screen. Featured delicate papery matte texture screen and ±60° tilt support replicate the natural effect of real paper which brings you a more comfortable feeling of the painting. There is also a stand that can be adjusted to 6 different angles, and a slim pen/stylus with a pen holder that is also a storage for replacement nibs. And the much thicker nib feels like they aren't trying to rip me off with nib replacements like wacom.

The featured delicate papery matte texture screen brings you a more comfortable feeling of painting. Using the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 was also a pleasure thanks to its fairly smooth but slightly textured screen. An example of the ideal test page is the Huion New 1060 Plus (2048) IAF test page which I included above for comparison. You bring up a good point about how the Wacom Cintiq 16 has more parallax due to not having a laminated screen. If you intend to draw without a power outlet nearby, you should be getting something made for portability like an iPad Pro + Apple Pencil instead of a drawing monitor anyways.With Huion’s tablets, their pen calibration doesn’t account for pen tilt/direction as well as Wacom’s, but they’ve started including it.
