HUION KAMVAS Pro 16 Drawing Tablet with Screen, 15.6 inch Pen Display Anti-Glare Glass 6 Shortcut Keys Adjustable Stand, Graphics Tablet for Drawing, Writing, Design, Work with Windows, Mac and Linux

The media could not be loaded. As a first time drawing screen tablet used, I would recommend this tablet, it's affordable and gets the jobs done.This has my first impressions of the tablet, setup and feelings about it after two weeks of use. It is also my first time using a tablet with a screen, but I have used multiple drawing tablets with no screen.When I open the box, it was easy to open and came with some instruction like where to download the diver and some basic stuff to know about the tabletThe box also had sticker to identify the shortcut buttons, thought I found the sticker to be too large to put on the shortcut buttons and square while the buttons are round. It looks like if I put them on, they would stick off the buttons and make it easy to get dust on them and be easy to accidentally peel off. I think it would be better if the stickers were round and smaller.It comes with adjustable power head that can convert to different power grids. Since I’m in the US I got the US version. It’s easy to remove and replace with the conversion for when you travel.It also came with an adjustable stand for the tablet. When I first tried to open it, it was very hard. I felt like I might break it if I tried to open it. It did become easier after repeated tries. I’d would recommend you get something thin to help you pry it open the first couple times. I think it would help if the tab that close the stand was not so tight thought.To me the stand has a good range of angles. The six positions allow you to adjust it at the viewing angel that is most comfortable to you and your wrist position. For me the lowest was the most comfortable for both my wrist and viewing.At one point while I was unpacking, I placed the pen and pen-holder off to the side with the pen inside the pen holder and accidentally hit it. I thought I would have been knocked off like with my other tablet, but I was surprised to see it wasn’t. I tend to move my hand into my tablet pen when I set them off to the side so it was nice to see it can keep its balance pretty well. You have to be very deliberately to try to knock it down.Before I used it, I did let the tablet charge for a day. When I saw the wires at first, I thought the cord to plug into my computer would not be long enough, but its length is OK for me. My computer tower and tablet are about 3 feet apart. While I was trying to connect my table to my computer, I notice that either my table would only show or my screen would, not both at the same time. This was not the tablets fault, but my computer was at fault here as I found out it can’t support two screens through HDMI. I’m not sure it’s because my computer is a little older being about 5 years old. But since my computer also supports VGA and so does my computer monitor, I plugged my tablet through HDMI and my screen through VGA. If your experience a similar problem, it’s might not be the tablet it might be your computers limitations.Installing the driver was easy to do but their is no disk. The Huon website has driver you need.When I finally turn on my screen, it looks weird to me before I realized it, I had a very yellow tint. I couldn’t find Instructions on the manual on how to adjust screen settings form color, brightness, and so on to do this when I first got it. After an hour of trial and error, I found out to do so that you have to press and hold the very last button (the OSD Button) to put into settings/adjustment mode. I was able to adjust it by using the shortcut buttons on the side of the tablet. When I was doing this, this was the how I moved around in the settings/adjustment menu. The second(2nd) and third (3rd) blank buttons from the power button are the direction buttons and the fifth (5th) blank button is used to confirm and sixth (6th) blank button to cancel. If/when the menu disappears press the fourth blank button to make the menu reappear. To exit out of adjustment screen menu/mode press and hold the OSD button again.Setting up shortcut buttons on the tablet are customizable and easy for me. I use multiple programs but all the shortcut is the same so I didn’t have to worry about changing them for each program, but it should be aware that you can only have one setting. But in the manager, you can save your setting for multiple programs.When calibrating the screen make sure you do this in the position and angel your going to draw in and to hold your hand in your drawing position. I didn’t do this at first, so screen calibration was a little off for my comfort.After all the setup I started drawing and for the two weeks I had it, it took a little adjusting since I have only used drawing tablets with no screen. But once I got adjusted it became a lot easier to draw on this tablet. I made the adjustment where my tablet screen is an extension of my main monitor. I did this mainly so I can make a pop off window for my drawings and see it from multiple screens and also handle other task or even just watch videos on my main screen while I’m drawing on the tablet.While setting up the tablet was frustrating at times. I found once done it was fun and easy to draw on for my first time using a screen tablet.

I have had this tablet for 5 years! I use it extensively and it has held up. So far, nothing has failed me. I have only had to change nibs twice and the product comes with a lot. My only complaint about the package is the folding stand it comes with. I have had to replace the anti-slip stickers with bigger, more lasting stickers.Well. The OSD function key (e.g adjust contrast, brightness, other settings) is a little quirky but it is manageable with a slight learning curve how to operate it.

What’s In The Box:TabletCord (3-in-1: Power, USB,HDMI)PenPen Holder with extra nibsStandScreen ClothGloveSet Up:Set up was easy. I already own a Huion Kamvas GT-191 and GT Inspiroy H640P, so I didn’t have any issues. Make sure you follow Huion’s advice and uninstall any other drivers (Huion or other) before installing the drivers for this tablet.Color:Color is great. My Huion Kamvas GT-191 came out of the box a little blue and not very bright. I had to adjust it with a monitor color calibrator. Not this one. Right out of the box it was bright and the colors were comparable to my color-corrected HP monitor.Size:I think this size is perfect for crispness of images at 1920x1080. My Huion Kamvas GT-191 is a little less sharp than this, but that’s because it’s 19” at 1920x1080. It’s also a good size for drawing. I’ve tested it on Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Animate, and Clip Studio paint. There’s plenty of real estate for each of those programs. It’s also very thin and light, which makes it easy to move around on my desk and get it out of the way when I’m done using it. I’ve also brought it down into my lap when I lean back to draw - not good posture, but the tablet is so light, it works well drawing that way.Pen/Drawing Experience:The pen is great because it’s battery-free. The pen for my Kamvas GT-191 needs to be plugged in every once in a while, so I had to have a spare pen charged so I didn’t have to stop drawing when the battery ran out. That doesn’t happen with this one. Every time you want to use it, it’s ready and it never runs out.The drawing is excellent on the screen. There is no parallax and no line jitter. I tested a slow line at an angle without a ruler and there was very little jitter. That was due to little movements in my hand, because when I then tested it using a ruler, there was no jitter at all. The pen pressure is also great. There’s no line blowout not matter how hard you press the pen and it keeps steady pressure for any type of line you draw. I also like the texture of the screen. It has a little bit of tooth, kind of like you’re drawing on paper. It’s not exactly like paper, but it’s better than glossy screens where your pen just glides over the surface.Express Keys:There are six plus a touch slider in the middle. I programmed all of them to work with each of the drawing programs I use. They worked well and are a huge time-saver. I prefer the express keys over using my keyboard. You do have to change them for every drawing program you use, which is unfortunate. That would be one thing I’d like to see Huion change about this and future tables with express keys - it’s a matter of updating their driver software, so it should be doable. I have a workaround for this, which is to make all of the keyboard shortcuts the same across all drawing programs - it’s a little bit of extra work, but the drawing programs will keep your changes so you only need to do it once.Programs I’ve Used This With:Adobe Photoshop CC, Adobe Animate CC, Clip Studio Paint, Blender 2.8, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe Premiere Pro. It worked well with all of them. I’m using a Mac Mini 2012 i5 with 16gb of ram, so if it works on my old computer (with no lag or other issues), it should work on most others.The Stand:It’s light and has quite a few angles. I sometimes like to draw at almost a 90 degree angle, but this stand doesn’t do that. The tablet also doesn’t have any way to hook it up to a VESA arm. That’s the one thing I like better about my Kamvas GT-191 - it’s on an arm and I can tilt it into any position I want to draw in. That said, the angles it offers are good enough and don’t cause any issues with my wrist or back/neck while drawing.Final Thoughts:This is a great tablet. It’s light, somewhat portable, draws well, the screen looks great, and works with all of the programs I use to draw/animate. The only things I wish it had are Vesa-mounting capabilities and the ability to have multiple drawing programs mapped to the express keys (so you don’t have to change them for every program). I should also say that I think the price is very reasonable for everything you get. This tablet is well worth it for anyone who wants to draw/animate digitally.UPDATE:It's been a couple week since I reviewed this and I still love it. I've replace my GT-191 with this one even though it's smaller because I like having the express keys on the tablet and the images are more crisp. I've also attached it to a monitor arm (which was a minor negative in my initial review). There aren't any screw holes to mount it, but the tablet is so light that I was able to use velcro to attach it (see images).
