1. This tablet REQUIRES A COMPUTER to work. It is essentially a monitor that has pen capabilities, but without a computer or laptop to connect to, the tablet will NOT work.
2. If you already have a computer, YOU NEED AN ART PROGRAM in order to draw with this tablet. This tablet does not come with any built-in software or bonus software to install. There are several free art programs you can download online like Krita, FireAlpaca, etc.
3. If you have used an iPad or Android tablet to draw, the drawing experience will feel different on this display tablet in comparison. The screens used for pen displays are often treated with matte coatings to protect it and prevent glare. This is common with most pen displays, including Wacom's. Because of this, the screen will not look as crisp compared to an iPad or Android tablet. It is not a bad screen at all, the longer you draw on it the less you'll notice it.
4. You can calibrate the pen pressure! This allows the tablet to adjust to how light or heavy you draw and create a more pleasant drawing experience. You can access the calibration settings in the driver settings under Pen Display > Working Area > Monitor Calibration. Some art programs also have an option to calibrate your pen pressure in their settings as well.
SET-UP FOR LEFTIES:
I was kinda nervous since most pen displays are right-handed by default, even the express keys are placed to the left-hand side for that purpose. But after going through the settings, it was easy to flip the tablet around for my left hand.
In the Huion driver software under Work Area, select the monitor(s) you want your tablet to work on, then select 180 degrees. This flips the pen controls around, but not the screen.
To flip the screen, in Window's Display Settings, select the pen display and set the orientation to "Landscaped Flipped." This flips the enitre screen.
Now you can use the tablet with your left hand and keep the express keys on the right! :)
Notes:
- Even after flipping the screen for left-handed use, the tablet's built-in settings (press and hold the power button for 3 seconds) will still display in the right-hand orientation, so basically upside down.
- The express keys don't need to be "flipped" when setting them up, you can set them up normally from top to bottom.
- If you are getting "No Signal" when turning on the tablet while using the 3-in-2 cable, try flipping the USB-C cable and plug it in the other way. Once I did that, the tablet connected instantly. It seems the cables are meant to follow the right-handed orientation, which is unfortunate.
Overall Thoughts:
I've been drawing on an iPad for years and still love it, but I wanted an additional art tablet to work with my PC and other programs that aren't available in iOS. Setting up the drivers and the tablet itself was relatively fine (after I fixed the No Signal issue). I appreciate how thin and light the display is, it doesn't take up much space and I can easily move it around if I need to. The pen itself is very responsive and feels solid in my hand, and the color accuracy is pretty good! I didn't have to do much color alibration in the settings; there's an option to set it to AdobeRGB, which matches closely to my IPS monitor and iPad when comparing the same image. For the cost I think it's reasonable, especially compared to how much a Cintiq Pro costs for the same size.

Set 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).

Set 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.

Top reviews from other countries
I already own a Cintiq 27QHD from 2016. The Cintiq has started to show a weird discoloration where It's slightly magenta on the left edge and transitions to normal as it gets to about 3/10th of the screen. Since the left side is kind of messed up, I only use the right side to draw on and have reference or videos on the left.
Review of the Kamvas 16 (2.5k)
1.) Value: This tablet was $639 +tax on sale. This is an incredible tablet at this price. You get a QHD laminated display, shortcut buttons, a stand, and all the cables you need.
Unboxing:
I was really impressed with the packaging itself. The box was realy thick, and tightly closed but slid off easily when you pulled it off which felt very satisfying. They thoughtfully placed foam on the underside of the box cover to protect the monitor screen. The pen, pen holder, cables, paperwork, and stand had their own spots within the packaging. The unboxing process was very impressive.
Screen/Display:
As soon as I unwrapped the monitor, I noticed that the antiglare wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I could still easily make out the spotlights from the ceiling being reflected onto the screen. It blurred out the lights a tiny bit but when I compare it to my old cintiq, it's not as diffused as it is on the cintiq. There is a thin but weird magenta discoloration all around the monitor. When I am viewing my desktop I can notice it, but when I am using Photoshop it's not as noticeable because it goes over the border of the app. There is also a very noticeable rainbow grain which gets more noticeable when viewing white or light colours. This becomes less noticeable as you get further away from it, or get used to it. The rainbow grain is also on the cintiq QHD but it's so faint. I read this is due to the etched glass which gives it a paper like texture. I wouldn't say it feels like paper.. it felt like it had less texture than the cintiq which is not etched at all. I also found the display to be dim, even at the highest brightness. On the bright side, I found the display very crisp, and the colours are more saturated than the cintiq's. The lamination is a big plus here. The cintiq has huge parallax. There is no noticeable gap between where I tap the huion screen and where the marks are being made. This made the drawing experience feel very natural whereas on the Cintiq, sometimes when I draw, the marks appear slightly off from the nib. Great screen and size overall!
Pen:
I didn't enjoy the pen experience as much as the Cintiq's. I found the Huion pen too light. It is significantly lighter than my Cintiq's pen and I thought the Cintiq pen was already light. That very easy to get used to though. The tablet came with a grey felt nibs and the black plastic nibs. The felt nib had slightly more resistance than the black nibs but still less than the Cintiq's. I hold the pen higher up so there's more of an angle when I am drawing and noticed that sometimes, the curser will not be aligned with the nib of the pen. I think that issue was rectified in the newer Huion pens. It might have just been my pen but it made a screechy sound sometimes when I drew. Felt like something inside the pen itself wasn't holding the nib tight enough that it would shift slightly and then screech as I drew. It became less noticeable the more I used it. I also tried using different nibs to make sure that wasn't the issue. It happened with all the nib that came with the pen. I haven't seen or read of this issue online so it could have just been the one I bought. I also had trouble getting used to the pressure sensitivity. The pressure curve was not as consistent as I am used to on the Cintiq. I read the newer Huion pen has fixed this. If you never used a cintiq pen or apple pencil before, then this pen will feel fantastic.
Stand:
The stand was the least impressive thing for me. I have a Parblo P100 stand so I used that instead. It is nice that the display came with a stand though.
Connection:
The unit came with all the cables that you needed. I think it had 4 or 5 different cables. When I was using it with my MacBook pro, it powered and displayed data with just a single USB-C cable. When plugged into the display, the cables fit very snugly which is reassuring.
Overall:
This is an amazing tablet for the price but I am returning it. If it wasn't for the pen experience and noticeable rainbow grain, I would most likely keep it. I will just wait for the Kamvas Pro 19 because I read the rainbow grain is a lot less noticeable, a lot brighter, and the pen/cursor shift doesn't happen anymore.
If none of the things I listed bother you, then you will love this tablet. I would give this a 4.5/5 because the price is so good for everything you get.

Was thinking of going with a ipad or Android tab but a PC always wins, so decided to buy this pen monitor. Best decision 🤘🏻😎.
#very precise response, works good with illustrator and Photoshop.
#screen quality and color are perfect. brightness a little low but nothing to complain.
#do use their software to adjust your pen sensitivity and monitor settings.
Installation and configuration is easy, nothing big.
