Other established YT art reviewers like Brad Colbow and Teoh Yeo Chi have really good things to say (as well as critiques) about these companies' products so you might want to check them out as well. Would I recommend Huion or XP Pen? Definitely. When it comes to drivers and software, both companies have drastically improved in this area. Non-display tablets from both companies on the other hand are much better value compared to what Wacom has. I've read issues with Huion's older devices (specifically the first iteration of the Kamvas series) though these might be just isolated cases or the company might have rolled out fixes for them. They use the same OEM but in terms of build quality and design, I give XP Pen the advantage (it's Artist Pro and Deco Pro series have really great features that helped me make digital art faster). Is its products worth it? As far as I can tell, Huion is a close second to XP Pen. Is Huion one of the companies that does this? Not sure. With that said, there is some truth to what he says about companies trying to influence how reviewers present their products. So for him, it's more of preference and the fact that he can afford Wacom's offerings. My first experience was an incredible and expensive risk, but it’s well worth it.Īaron Rutten has been known to favor Wacom likely because he's been using the company's products for so long. In summary, I’m pretty confident with Huion honestly. My Huion experience may be because it’s newer and there has been years of advancement and feedback put on it, but that’s only a good thing esp for the price comparison. Didn’t enjoy the parallax, the surface was super glassy smooth (it was 2013 for 4 uni courses), and it didn’t feel easy to maneuver and position for comfort since I’m a short petite person (it was on the table with its own stand). I’ve also used Cintiqs before (and Wacom from 2009 before I got the Huion), and my experience with them isn’t too great. I haven’t changed color settings on my Huion monitor, it’s precise from screen to print. No need to change anything, wish I had started with pigment inks at the beginning. Well, to my surprise, pigment ink is EXACTLY how the screen looks like. I reset the color settings because they work differently and would want a base to work with before changing color settings. I switched inks from dye to pigment because my printer ran out of warranty. But the new pen worked well, and it basically solidified me upgrading to another Huion when the time comes. Heck, I was CONSIDERING upgrading instead, because this has paid for itself many times over throughout the years I’ve been using it. I also realized that the problems I had with the first pen WERE problems, and was impressed that a faulty pen lasted this long. That’s, basically my only problem at this point. I also print merch in-house, I had to do a lot of settings with my printer to match, which I’ll get back to later. Worked immediately, didn’t have to change settings and colors matched my IPS monitor pretty close (it wasn’t as vibrant which I preferred when drawing). My PC was new, so I didn’t have driver clashes with my Wacom tablet that I used on my Laptop. I thought these were regular things to expect, so I just let it slide. In fact, I thought my loose pen nib and slightly flimsy charging of the pen (it stops charging at a certain angle but when I touched it it starts to charge again) was just how it was. I decided since the main office was about a 20 minutes walk away from me (also where I got my unit), that if there were problems I could easily just return it or send it for repairs. I came from a Wacom to a Huion, the scary part? I got a monitor tablet as my first Huion.
