HUION KAMVAS 13 Graphics Drawing Tablet with Full-Laminated Screen Battery-Free Stylus PW517 Tilt 8 Press Keys, 13.3inch Pen Display for Android, Mac and Windows PC, Black

I'm not a particularly gifted artist, but it's a hobby I've recently rekindled as a result of the extra time and the fact that I've been stuck indoors for the past few weeks. br>br>I could've gone with a lot of other products, ones that were more expensive and fancy, but since I'm not very good, and this is a product that's marketed to beginners AND the fact that this is a new model with few reviews at the time of writing this review, I figured I'd buy it and give my HONEST opinion about it. br>br>To begin, let me reiterate that I am not a professional artist. I'm In terms of hardware, I believe I have a good understanding. br>br>There are a lot of things that this product DOES WELL. 1. br>br> Despite being primarily made of plastic, the product does not have a cheap feel to it. It reminds me a lot of the older pen tablets I've had for a while, such as the old Wacom bamboo and Intuos, and it's very sturdy! 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br Buttons have a solid feel. I'm a big fan of hotkeys, and seeing and touching the actual buttons piques my interest because they appear to be responsive and provide a satisfying click. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. In my opinion, the display brightness is just right. Apart from the built-in Windows settings, I haven't found a way to change the settings, but I like how it looks overall. 4. br>br> It's wonderful to have a pen that responds so quickly! I mostly use Krita, Clip Studio, and a little Photoshop, and I've never had any problems with responsiveness, delay, or even pen wobble. The pressure sensitivity is also very responsive, and I haven't had any problems with the tilt function, despite the fact that I don't use it very often. It's all excellent! 5. br>br> I bought the product with the stand, and I'm very pleased with it. There are six positions to choose from, and it is hefty and feels like a long-lasting product. br>br>6. This item is also a good size for a beginner or as a portable display for people who are always on the go. One could argue that a larger display is better, but I would argue that size doesn't matter nearly as much when you can zoom in and out to draw or add detail. 7. br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br>br> This is a great deal for the money. I tried and used the Microsoft Surface Pro 6, iPad Pro Gen 1, and Wacom Cintiq for about a week each, and this product, while not as good as those much more expensive products, is still fairly comparable. The Huion Kamvas does not have the same "premium" feel as the Huion Kamvas, but it is still fantastic! br>br>And now for the PROBLEMS I've encountered. 1. br>br> A mark was visible on the screen when I received the product. I thought I had scratched it accidentally when I took it out of the package, but upon closer inspection, the mark is beneath the textured screen protector that came with it; I'm not sure if it's scratched underneath or if there's dirt or dust stuck underneath. Now, it may not seem like a big deal to most people, but I'm constantly aware of it and keep thinking it's a stray pencil mark that needs to be removed. It's unlikely that the problem is significant enough for Huion to replace my product, which is a shame. Keep in mind that your product may arrive with a screen flaw similar to this. 2. br>br>1. br>br>br>br>br>br The top right corner of the screen appears to become hotter than the rest of the screen. I'm not sure why this is the case. However, after a while, I get a little uncomfortable and have to put on the glove that comes with the display. 3. br>br>4. br>br>5. br>br>6. There is no way to change the brightness, contrast, or any other monitor settings. It's not a major issue; the display is fine as is; however, the ability to change the settings would be very useful. Personally, I don't mind because I have a nice monitor on which to check my colors. br>br>Depending on how my conversation with Huion goes, my viewpoint may change. It's possible that they'll send me a replacement, and the problems will be resolved. br>br>OVERALL, I recommend it if you need a tablet for on-the-go use or if you're just getting started with tablets. It has flaws, but so do all tablets. br>br>I've included a photo of some basic eyes I drew using the pressure sensitivity, as well as a photo of the strange chip/mark on my display. br>br>As I continue to use this product, I will update this review with any additional benefits or drawbacks I discover. br>br>Thank you for reading this review and stay safe! <3.

  Kamvas 13br>My New Daily Driverbr>br>Let's get right to the point: this latest iteration of the Kamvas 13 is the best. GT-156HD 156HD 156HD 156HD 156HD 156HD I've used Huion's 156HDV2, and Kamvas Pro 16 in the past, and I have to say that their product development and improvements have been nothing short of amazing over the last three years. br>br>Experience: br>br> Unboxing: br>br>Installation: br>br>Installation: br>br> br>Unboxing is one of my favorite things to do because I get to smell the new gadget. The packaging is well-thought-out, and Huion has set a high bar in terms of box design for their products. In today's world, this is considered a product experience, and it is something to anticipate. br>br>Each item is individually packaged and sealed within their compartments within the box, while the tablet, which is wrapped in some form of thin protective plastic, keeps them secure from the top. If that wasn't enough, the display is also protected by a screen protector. br>br>This time, they left out the power adapter because the device can be charged via USB. Kamvas 13 is a three-dimensional character. 1 connection cable, a stylus with a stand, documentation, and a USB port an additional source of power Additionally, a stand is not included because it is an additional cost. br>br>Installation: br>br>Installation: br>br>Install br>As with all Huion pen displays, you must first install the driver; I thought the Kamvas Pro 16 driver would work, but it didn't. br>br>I plugged the HDMI, Black USB-C cable into the computer after installing the driver. USB Type-A and USB Type-B are both available. The letter A is for my computer, and the letter L is for my laptop computer. I was ready to go once I connected the pen display to the shaped connector. There is no adapter included with the device if you don't have access to a USB port, but the Kamvas 13 only requires 5V/2 amps according to the power requirements I found. As a result, I am confident that our usb- The pen display can be powered by using a phone charger. br>br>There is a single USB port on this tablet. The connection is in the letter C. Given that your USB-connected computer isn't connected to the internet, Thunderbolt 3 or power-over-ethernet are available in your computer's C port. out and show off what you've got. To make matters even more complicated, you'll have to purchase the USB-C adapter. Video and power can be transmitted via a C cable. This cable is available on Huion's website and through Amazon for $40. Another issue is that you'll need to locate a USB cable with a relatively narrow connector. Because the port on the pen display is not flush with the edge but rather in a narrow socket, what is the part number for the C plug? Anyway, I got one, and it's functional. Having a one-stop shop for all of your needs is a huge plus. The best convenience ever is a cable connection for a pen display. br>br>Drawing: br>br> br>The new PW517 stylus has a different feel to it than the one that came with the Kamvas Pro 16. They aren't compatible with each other, by the way. Pen Tech 3 is used in the Kamvas 13 stylus. The tip's size was increased and its bounce/springiness was reduced by a factor of 0, which reduced screen offset. True, I had a Calibration quirk on the Kamvas Pro 16 where the center orientation of the cursor would slightly offset when the stylus was close to the edges, but they're almost gone now. It wasn't terrible because I could just stay in the middle, but why would I have that problem in the first place? br>br>I've had a lot of fun with my stylus. Battery-powered pressure gauge still has 8192 levels. The majority of the bugs and quirks that plagued my Kamvas Pro 16 have almost vanished. The gap on the left side is still there. It's how I calibrated my stylus, as annoying as it is, and I'm not sure I can change it. Wacom, on the other hand, does not have this problem. The second button can now be used as a space bar to pan with the driver. It used to activate when you tapped and scrolled on the screen, but now it works as it should. br>br>However, I would prefer a thinner stylus. For me, using a thick stylus is inconvenient. At the very least, keep a thinner one on hand in the store, or allow the rubber grip to be removed. I'm sure others feel the same way, and I'm hoping Huion will be able to accommodate us. please? br>br>In comparison to my Cintiq 13HD, the pen display is also more gritty. The pre- anti-virus software was installed The display's glare film adds a little friction and reduces glare when drawing or painting. It was strange to draw on at first because I was used to the Kamvas Pro 16's smoothness, but once I got the hang of it, it was nice to draw on. Oh, and I used a wet paper towel to wipe my screen (a rare commodity these days), which made drawing on the screen even better. On paper, it looks like a smooth pencil. Shortcut buttons are also available on the pen display. br>br> I'm not going to use them, and I'm only going to use them on rare occasions. It's there, it works, and if you want to use it, the clicks are fantastic. br>br>Portability: br>br>Portability: br>br>Portability: br>The pen display is small enough to fit in a bag and light enough to carry around, as well as large enough for you to draw on. As a nomadic worker, I find the Kamvas 13 to be the ideal size. I move around a lot and try to work in different parts of my house, so the size is very helpful. However, I must be cautious because it may go unnoticed and easily slip through my fingers due to the lack of heft. If I'm going to put it in my bag, I'll probably need a foam case as well. br>br>The new three-dimensional (three-dimensional) The addition of a single USB power cable to my Kamvas Pro 16 is a huge plus. It eliminates the need for a separate power supply by allowing the pen display to draw power directly from the laptop. This is very convenient because it eliminates the need for a second power outlet and allows you to conceal everything behind your laptop or table. Only one cable is visible, which is neat. The older 3-year-olds For what it is, a single cable with an adapter is portable, but it is too heavy to carry around all the time. The only disadvantage is if your laptop does not have enough USB ports. br>br>The single USB-connected device In this case, the C connection comes out on top. It's a dream to be able to do all of this with just one cable. It's the pinnacle of convenience. I got one from Amazon to try out, and it's fantastic. I mean, I'm probably exaggerating, but portability is the cherry on top. My Cintiq 13HD and its tangle of wires are still with me. Granted, it's a 7-year-old device that still performs admirably, but I'm not going to bring it to work unless I have no other option. br>br>Final Thoughts: br>Wow, what a pen display. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's perfect, but it's close. The vast majority of nit-pickers The picks are only for the tablet's peripherals, not for the tablet itself. For $260, it's hard to go wrong. If you want the stand, be sure to include it in your order. If you're looking for a USB-powered device, this is the place to go If you don't have the patience to search for the right USB-C single connection, you'll have to settle for a less expensive option. If you have an extra $40 to spare and only need a C cable, get the USB-C cable.
