Very nice display, very happy
Received this about a month ago, and since then I’ve been really enjoying using it! Before this display I was using the default touchscreen pen that comes with my touchscreen laptop, the hp envy x360, that lost pen sensitivity all of a sudden which is what forced me to look into actual legit displays meant for digital illustrations. I was initially debating between this and the huion kamvas pro 16, however decided on the innovator 16 due to it being a newer release, which likely meant less bugs in drivers and improved build. I was also intrigued at the thinness of the display itself. It truly is an incredibly thin display, very very responsive, and I do not notice the parallax, if it does exist, after calibration of the screen. It was very easy to set up, only followed the given manual, and very fast to start up and use as well. The roller wheel is like very nice to use, and very natural for zooming in and out. I don’t use the inner touch wheel much (and haven’t really looked into how to use it) but the outer wheel is responsive and fun to use actually. The buttons on the side are clicky and east to designate functions, and the pen is solid and nice to hold. The function of the the pen holding tube as also a pen holder and protector, as well as storage for additional pen nibs, was a good use for space that I appreciate. The colors are vibrant and much more accurate than the colors displayed on my laptop. If there’s one thing to sort of “complain” about it is the fact that the stand only comes with one angle; the price for this display isn’t cheap exactly, so a stand for multiple angles would have been nice. However, stacking some books under the stand works to prop up the display to a higher angle. Overall really impressed with this display, and very happy with it :)

Great mid-budget graphics tablet
I was looking for an affordable display tablet to replace my ancient Wacom Intuos. I was a little nervous trying to choose between 'budget' brands XPPen and Huion, but finally selected this one after a lot of comparisons, review reading, and internal angst. While I was a little disappointed at first, when it did not seem to work with my art program of choice (Sketchbook, formerly by Autodesk), after a couple of driver updates and reboots, I got it working very smoothly and did not have to learn or relearn some other program to use the tablet going forward.Accuracy is good, it feels very nice and natural to use. I'm coming from using an old non-display type, so the jump to having a display I can look at while drawing is fantastic. Intuitive layout, and hotkey buttons are easy to set up. Unfortunately one of the wheels doesn't work right with my art program, but that's a quirk of the program, not of the device, I think. The stand is plastic and might look a little flimsy at first, but it feels solid under the tablet and I haven't had any trouble with it. Stylus pen feels good to use, not clunky or awkward.

Hardy, Great Longevity, but DON'T DROP THE PEN (Iffy when used as a second display)
**Pardon the dust, I bought this tablet back in August of 2021TL;DR: Great display and textured feel, but gets scuffed/scratched over time. Easy to use drivers/customization, but tablet becomes very finnicky when used as a second monitor.Dropping the pen can damage it irreversibly; BE CAREFUL!*Also consider buying a new stand. The one it comes with is alright but I got a parblo stand and it does a fantastic job.Pros; Bright-colored display, paper-like grip, easily adjustable brightness and straightforward control customization/drivers.Great longevity so far! Over two years strong!Cons; DO NOT DROP THE PEN. Only a month or so after initially buying it, I dropped the pen from approx. 3 ft over carpet. I was sitting down and fumbled with it- Was suddenly drawing severely off-center from pen and could not reach the edges of the display. Recalibration did not work.I work in tech, and saw a guide online to open the pen and tweak a potentiometer inside. Tweaks *improved* it, but it was extremely temperamental and was quickly completely unusable. Had to pitch the pen and buy a new one. At least the replacement was only 15~20$... I've accidentally dropped this pen countless times now and yet it hasn't faced the same problems... maybe my first one was a dud? I still get a spike of panic anytime I drop it, though...For other cons; very temperamental if used as a second display. If you want to use it as a secondary display (in Windows 10~11), you have to both set display settings as "extend these displays" as well as select the area of the tablet in XP-Pen driver settings as the touch display, else touch will not work correctly.However, if used as a second display, it can sometimes flash wildly when turning it on or off, and sometimes completely at random. My first laptop got pretty messed up if I unplugged the tablet while it was configured to extend the display, and would distort the display of the laptop severely.If you aren't using the tablet as a second display, you shouldn't encounter these issues.In the past couple months I've had to sometimes pat or almost "slap" the tablet to stop it from flashing wildly, sort of like a janky TV? The display can also get mild "screen bleed" in which images will linger if the display is left on a still image for more than 5 minutes or so. Fortunately this is never permanent.The display HAS been scuffed by the pen over time and at some point along the way a small gap in the textured finish developed but I HAVE been using it heavily for over two years. She's an old girl!Overview: In spite of everything I've said, I'm pretty happy with this tablet. It's been going for over two years. It feels hardy and substantial, just be careful with the pen and consider getting a screen protector for the display.

Perfected PEN and Perfect size for my desk room
the pen is perfect, with an eraser it makes it easier, not mainly the best part is that i dont keep hitting the side buttons on accident like i have with older xp pen or huion pens, i hated how i pressed them and the whole page would mess up, i havent once accidently pressed it, and the color and display is good, idk if its ips panel but it isnt va lol.For my lefties-its good for u too, if u set it up as ur main display then flip the screen it will not flip ur monitor, just ur tablet. had to troubleshoot to figure it out, also the plug isnt designed for lefties because it covers the power button so u either have to leave it on and unplug it then plug it in so u dont have to use the power button.works great the 1080p is fine since its pixel density is more than a 22inch, doesnt come with a stand unfortunately. and the screen protector they give u for free sucks i heard, im not putting it on, people complained how dust is in it and it will almost always get bubbles
