2021 HUION KAMVAS 16 Graphics Drawing Tablet with Full-Laminated Screen Anti-Glare 10 Express Keys Android Support Battery-Free Stylus 8192 Pen Pressure Tilt Adjustable Stand - 15.6 Inch Pen Display

Had it a week now but Ive been "unable" to just dive into it, theres things i didnt know i should keep in mind. Apologies for the length this might come out to but it sucks to get a new toy and then hardly get to play with it properly right away. So bare with me, im doing this for you lol. I will have an actual review as well at the end.YOU NEED TO CONSIDER CABLE LENGTH AND YOUR SETUP. are you using laptop or desktop, the provided cables are maybe 4ft, limiting how comfortably you can be set up if your rig isnt right next to you. highly recommend having a HDMI male to female extension cable and USB male to female extension cable if your rig is on the floor or further off to the side.*dont get a usb-c to usb-c extension as it wont fit the port on the display, youre welcome*CONNECTIVITY- if you have multiple monitors-i.e. i have a 1080ti with 3 display ports and 1 HDMI, though i have a TV in my setup so the HDMI on my graphics card is taken. You CAN use the onboard HDMI port if you enable a setting in bios just google it if you go that route, however when i went into settings there are some color settings and "Display" settings that were greyed out (not selectable), thinking this was maybe cus of the onboard HDMI somehow, I ordered a HDMI to Display Port adapter. Connecting to display port did not solve that issue, I havent figured that out yet as I just stopped to make this review, sorry. Out of box the colors look nice, though i do need to look more into why I cant access all the settings.Lastly, the stand....its nice, it works, fairly sturdy, but if you wanted to move the unit as a whole or even turn it a little, you would have to pick up the display and then the stand separately, its awkward to try and move them both cus the stand doesnt lock into place and its not wide enough to grab both from the sides. also if you wanted to draw vertically for whatever reason, this stand wont support it in that position and theres no room for the cable so you can only go vertical 1 way even if it could. this isnt a huge deal honestly but it is an improvable situation for anyone who might be bothered by it.For this im looking into laptop stand, and even considering a "monitor swivel"-THE REVIEW-This is my first step into becoming a digital artist outside of Sketchbook on my Note 9 so I dont have any comparison knowledge but...ive been wanting one for a long time and have been researching on and off for the past 3 or 4 yrs.I learned Huion is the much more affordable 2nd best just as good as Wacom, and that a display vs. one of the "blind pads" is all preference, but the "blind pads" allow you to be more ergonomically positioned while you work...and now that i have one i understand. This is a fantastic tool I cant wait to master. It feels worth the money, does not feel cheap, and the experience of the little bit of doodling ive been able to do so far was more pleasing than i imagined, they say things in reviews like "natural feel" "simulates paper surface" and you try to understand but you just cant fully grasp it til you try it, its nice. Really nice.out of box the settings seem acceptable but what do I know, and i need to figure out how to access ALL the settings. The software is simplistic and binding keys/shortcuts to the displays buttons is easy, though using the buttons isnt as cool as id hoped, i still like to use the keyboard, but better to have and not need then need and not have. The pen is accurate, i keep pushing one of the buttons on accident i wish they werent as easy to click as they are but to be fair it may be cus im used to holding my mechanical pencil with my finger resting on the button, the pencil i use has the button in the same place and pencil artists often rotate the utensil.I wouldnt call these things "cons" or downsides, but just what youre used to kinda things, and i have yet to get used to this new tool.OVERALL if you feel this might help you become a better artist, you owe it to yourself to find out, dont waste time, find out. Invest in yourself, you can always resell it if you find out its not what you expected but FIND OUT so you can move forward. I got it so I wouldnt have any more excuses, i have everything i need now to find my success as an artist. I thought having something fancy would reignite something in me to work harder or just be able to create more opportunities for exposure to other things so i can figure out what i want to do.Now I feel like I can, im glad i did. Hope this helps.Best of wishes on your journey, cheers.i got no discounts or payment for this review it is real and honest im not a Huion fanboy this is not a fake review.

2019 Huion KAMVAS 16 Drawing tablet. This is my first art pad, so unable to compare brands. Be careful during your searches and selection, some pens require batteries, some differences in tablets.It is not flimsy. The anti-glare screen is perfect. I like the size, overall about the same as my laptop but thinner and lighter of course. It came with a glove, extra pen tips, a pen and pen stand, and the required cords/cables... be sure you have the needed ports for whatever you end up buying, this has hdmi and usb.I think your amount of satisfaction will come from your expectations of what an art pad can do, and what you can do on an art pad. They are input devices. You use software to input your artwork. It won't turn you into an artist, it is a tool.Some software can be tricky, especially if you've never used any before. If you don't want to learn to use, you aren't going to be happy. I have a very simple/cheap hp laptop, and it's all working fine. I am theoretically the age beyond which people think I can learn and use software, but I'm muddling along just fine.There isn't any lag between pen tip and drawing effect.I got this so that I could have it at my chair, where I spend too much time in my retirement. I didn't want to have paper and pencils/pen anymore, and I wanted to "paint" again without being required to be in another room or making a mess. Mostly to experiment with color. I don't like that people think they are entitled to look at my sketch book. It's where i practice and learn. The tablet is neater/cleaner for me too.I tried a couple different programs (gimp, sketchpad... etc) and have been using krita. Again, this will all be dependent on your laptop, and your personal experience and preference, the art tablet is basically a touchscreen monitor.Then pen is ok in my hand not too heavy, and the software allows for it to be used like your favorite tool, even increasing line weight with pressure. The pen body is a bit thick towards the tip, so blocks a bit of the work as I sketch, this is probably just something to get used to. But the tip of the pen can be calibrated to your sight and touch.I love that I can do studies, and save as files. This is enabling me to sketch more again.If you like illustration, linework, anime, cartooning, etc., I think this is definitely the way to go. For sketching, improving skills, and conceptualizing, it's a great tool. I'm not to the point where I'm creating any real art on it yet, but there's plenty out there that people are creating.I think that if you've decided to get an art pad, this is a good buy. Larger may have been nice, but I like that it's within my space. It's comfortable on my lap, propped on a pillow. I don't think I'd be using the stand if I had bought the "pro" model, but if you use it at a desk that might be a nice option.
