As someone just branching out in to graphic design and upskilling my photography editing, I wanted a tablet that provided great screen quality, compact design and loads of compatibility with programs and software I already use. And, I didn't want to break the bank in investing in a new venture.

I have not been disappointed with this sturdy and user friendly GDT and would happily upgrade to a larger tablet down the track from this same company.

Really pleased with the product. I have had a cintiq 13hd for several years and was reluctant to try a different and cheaper product but so far so good. I had a question re installation, drivers etc. But the customer service was super fast and resolved in a couple of emails. The connectors to my iMac and the tablet seem sturdier than my cintiq ever was although I did have to buy an hdmi to USB c converter at $75 which was a bit annoying. Graphics look good when using clip studio, I haven't used photoshop yet but cant see any problems. I am not a professional so maybe there are things I dont notice that someone else would but for me, it's better than my old cintiq, I was going to upgrade but the Huion is cheaper by far. Would easily recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great competitor to wacom at a fraction of the price
Reviewed in Australia on 22 June 2020

Been using daily since purchased, an amazing upgrade from my previous tablet and at a much more accessible price.

The stand that comes with it is a life saver, within a few days any RSI issues I used to have with a smaller flat tablet have had a chance to heal and I can draw actively for much longer now and have a reliable workflow. Also great on my overall posture when I can adjust the angle (overall, a lot more comfortable to work on).

One issue that I was made aware of before purchasing (in other reviews) is that on the very edges of the screen the pointer/click location is slightly deviated but it only takes a little practice to click slightly to the side of a button if navigating software like photoshop where the toolbars are small and bunched together on the edges of the screen.

If such a minor error is chopping hundreds off the price compared to the wacom equivalent sized tablet then I'm glad to work around it. It's good to finally have competition on the market for tablets at multiple price points so the gateway for entry to digital art is far less intimidating.

What’s In The Box:
Tablet
Cord (3-in-1: Power, USB,HDMI)
Pen
Pen Holder with extra nibs
Stand
Screen Cloth
Glove

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).

I bought this as a first tablet for a college student majoring in graphics art. A competitor's product has gone way up in price recently, and I am very satisfied with Huion's tablet option.

The screen and pen-feel are very nice on this Huion Kamvas Pro 16. It is responsive and accurate and I recommend it as a beginning tablet - and even as an intermediate tablet!

In my short time with it, I noticed a few main differences between this and the higher priced model that I use daily.

There is a weight difference, which signals quality internally. The Huion feels plenty adequate, but there is a difference worth mentioning. I can't guess at the particulars, but it's tangible.

The software is intuitive and easy on the Huion, but the drivers are not as well integrated with the Windows environment as a competitor's. I give Huion very high marks in this regard! You must use the software to establish which screen is which and to get your initial setup working. This is easy to do and straight-forward, but it is a noticeable difference from a competitor whose drivers integrate flawlessly with the OS. However, said competitor's interface is clunky and unrefined with pop out windows and wasted space and redundant nonsense. It has been that way for as long as I can remember. Huion is NOT this way, and has done a tremendous job of putting everything in an organized, easy to understand interface. Fabulous job, Huion.

It is relatively simple to outpace the Huion with the pen - but not as a beginner, and not in actual, thoughtful application. Repeated, long, fluid lines do skip or risk other inaccuracies, but you can only squiggle a line so far on a 16" tablet. This isn't a problem for someone learning to draw, learning a software, or manipulating an advertising layout. The Huion will easily match pace with thoughtfulness.

Though the competitor's remote frustrates me with skips on a daily basis, the pen interface is always solid. This gives me pause for any Huion over 16" in size. It is, in my opinion, the fundamental difference that holds Huion in the beginner market. Maybe it's fine, but it leaves me hesitant to consider them as anything other than an initial investment.

Update: I decided to send this back. I'm on a 2018 Macbook Pro, and it's just surprising how bad these two things work together. It's not like I'm on an ancient computer with low specs. Besides all of the connection issues in my original review, I found out today that if you put your computer to sleep, once you wake it up you will have to unplug the tablet and plug it back in to reconnect the signal, otherwise the screen won't turn on. From there you end up right back in the middle of the problems below, where it's anybody's guess whether the tablet will connect with the software or not, or when. After waking the computer up from sleep none of my puzzle solving tactics below worked; it just refuses to connect to the software no matter how many different combinations of unplugs, restarts, off/on, etc., meaning I can't use it.

I'm sure I could uninstall/reinstall drivers, but I already had to do that when I was first setting it up because I accidentally installed the software with Photoshop open, which somehow stopped the tablet and the software from linking up. That one was on me, but the rest of this is just terribly written drivers. If I'm already having to uninstall/reinstall drivers again to get this thing working just because I put my computer to sleep, what's next? I haven't even owned it for a week and I'm already having to reinstall drivers to get basic functionality?

It's really unfortunate and I'm hesitant to send it back because the tablet itself is great. Once calibrated the pen is really accurate and it's really nice (and fun) to draw on. But the software and drivers are just killing this thing for me and I don't find it worth the hassle. I'll send it back and try something else.

In my original update I said I'd still recommend it, because wrestling with the software was frustrating, but once I got it sorted I thought that it was sorted. It's crazy how something as simple as putting my computer to sleep has made the issues even worse than they were to begin with. So changing my original review, I do NOT recommend this tablet. At least not until they fix the software.
-----------------------
ORIGINAL REVIEW (RANT):

This is a good drawing screen for a beginner like me that's looking to dabble in digital art and make my editing more precise.

But right away there are numerous issues that some might not find worth it, especially if other brands have their stuff figured out.

1. The main and most common problem is connection issues between the tablet and the drivers on your computer. Sometimes I'll turn the tablet on then open the tablet software on my Mac, but it will say "device disconnected," meaning the pen won't work. The usual fix is to open the software first, and THEN turn the tablet on.

That also stopped working today. I tried a bunch of different combinations. Opening the software first, turning on the tablet first, opening the software with the tablet on, then turning the tablet off and on again. But nothing fixed it. I even tried unplugging the HDMI cable a few times and that didn't work at first, although eventually it did. Not sure what combination of plug/unplug on/off open/closed software I used because I was just trying to get my 3 day-old tablet working. It gets to a point where it feels like you're lucky when it works, instead of excited that you have a working tablet.

I'm actually considering sending it back because I don't know if I trust it now. What happens on the day no combination of off/on, open/close, messing with all this stuff works? Then I'm stuck with a $400 monitor that's not really great for anything but what it was designed for, but can't do that one thing.

I got this after a ton of research. I'm now realizing that although the professional artists and reviewers talked about the quality of the tablet and the pen and the accuracy of the screen (which we'll get to in a second), they never touched on the software. And of course, that's the part that seems to be the biggest inconvenience.

As far as accuracy is concerned, it's very accurate on parts of the screen. If you have Photoshop for example, it's accurate on about 90% of the screen. But once I get over to the left side where the tool bar is, or up in the menu bar to select brushes, the cursor suddenly jumps about 5cm off, so it interrupts the otherwise very smooth workflow. This seems like an issue between the Huion software and Photoshop because it doesn't do it in other apps (at least not as bad).

But I've carefully calibrated and recalibrated the screen, and it's the same thing. It's super precise on MOST of the screen space except for that last bit to the left. Some of that also has to do with how your displays are set up. If you're using this to mirror displays, you'll get pretty accurate results. If you try to use this as an extension of your main display, you'll have to do a bit more finaggling and calibration. There's an option in the software to choose which screen you use as well. For my first day with this I was frustrated because I couldn't get it to work with anything but a mirrored display, which was disappointing. However (check my update review at the top), even when you get it working as an extended display it has its own set of problems.

Would I recommend this? Yes. Because for the price it's still a really good tablet, even with all of the deficiencies. I just don't trust it, is the problem. When it works, it works good. But with all of these different software problems I can't help but wonder, how long is it going to work?

So if you're looking for something on a budget and have spare money to spend on this, and you're not really looking to get into PROFESSIONAL art, but just want something as a hobby, I think this will work for your needs at a great price. If you think you're really going to get into digital art, I'd shop around a bit and really weigh the other options.

Make sure to research the software and drivers. I thought I was doing thorough research, and I ignored the few reviews that mentioned the software and drivers because I thought maybe it was just their PC specs. But it's pretty bad lol.

4.0 out of 5 stars Expensive tablet, but you may have to spend $50 more ...

I was looking for a writing tool to use for handwriting in One Note and also be able to write Chinese characters as inputs to browser and other apps that accepts inputs. I have tried quite a few drawing tablets, and pens, but none of them satisfied my requirement, as most of them write terribly. Furthermore, being a tablet, I cannot see exactly where the cursor is for writing and entering texts, that made it quite frustrating when I tried to use these tablets.
Finally I have decided that I should get a writing monitor which I can connect as an extra monitor so that I can actually see what and where I am writing directly on the programs. I moved away from a 8x6 tablet, because I also want to use it as a travel monitor for my laptop, so I ended up with this 15.6" monitor. The following is my personal experience so far. I have it for less than 1 day, so I will update my experience with this further in the near future after I have used it for a while. In the mean time, I will share with you my feeling with this product on general topics such as delivery and packaging, and setting up etc.
1. Packaging and Delivery: I was shocked by its packaging when the UPS person rang my door bell and I opened the door. This unit was housed in a very big box, almost the same size as my desktop computer. I think the packaging was overdone, as the product self was already boxed by another box almost exactly the same size as the original product box. This was then put in this huge box for delivery. The unit came in good shape, and has absolutely no damage as a result. The delivery was also on time as I asked for 1 day delivery and I did get it in 1 day. This is what I expected as on time delivery is one of the big reasons I selected a certain product, despite sometimes I may have to pay a little bit more. I hated sellers promising certain time delivery, and then ended up having me waiting for several more days or never even arrived sometimes.
2. Cables: This is the area where I would have deducted a star for this product. The maker claimed that they use a 3 in 1 cable to avoid messy cabling, and there is no other way for you to hook this up using regular cables. This brings up another issue, i.e. what if you break or lose this cable, you would have to replace it, which will cost you $50 the last time I checked. Do you wait until you lose or break your cable before you buy your replacement? Obviously not, because you will lose your productivity if you do, that means you would have to spend your $50 right now to get a spare and keep it close, especially when you use it while you are traveling. This is a big negative to me. I thought I saw it before that you can either use the 3 in 1 cable or regular cables. But this unit has only one type C input and that is it.
3. Setting up: The connection was relatively easy, just plug in the type C into the tablet, then on the other end, one HDMI goes to the HDMI connection of the computer, a USB A goes into the computer USB connection and the round power connector connects to the power supply that came with it. My computer saw it right away and make it as an extension monitor. I already have two monitors connected to my desktop, and this serves as the third monitor for it. I use it extensively for One Note writing and for programs that requires handwriting inputs, such as writing Chinese characters for my browser search. It works without any problem. You can also calibrate your tablet using the calibrate function from the driver program.
4. Writing on the tablet: Because I am writing directly to the application showing on the tablet, I have no problem writing where I want to, particularly on One Note. Also, writing to One Note using this tablet almost resembles my writing on paper using pen or pencil. I like it and there is almost unnoticeable lag when writing. I even tried writing with the protected film still there before it was peeled, it worked with no problem except sometimes the writing does not register because there was some slight oil on that spot. This is the first tablet that worked completely for me. Because it only responded to the pen, I do not have to worry about my palm touching the tablet. Since I am looking for a writing tablet and not a touch tablet, this works out just right. The pen also is non-active, meaning it requires no battery, which is great as I do not have to worry about battery running out when I travel. Pens like this usually require AAAA battery and most people do not have them stocked at home. The only problem is the location of the two buttons on the pen which I accidentally clicked quite a lot of time when I write. This gets annoying. It would be great if they can be immersed a little bit in the pen, so that they have to be clicked intentionally to work. I cannot comment on graphic drawing as I do not use this for drawing.
5. OSD setting: Like many TV, there are buttoms on the side that can be used to adjust the monitor's physical setting. However, some of the options were greyed out and cannot be adjusted. For example, for display it showed, Horizontal and vertical screen adjustment, but they were totally greyed out and cannot be adjusted. The included manual was not a manual, you have to go online to download one, which give you a little bit more information. I saw online and in some manual that the driver program provides quite a bit of control on the tablet, but the one I downloaded for this unit is very minimal and there is not much I can do in that driver program.
6. Price: This tablet is quite expensive, it costs me $400 plus another $50 for a spare cable, which was way more than what I was going to spend when I started looking for a writing tool. But because this is a monitor, and not just a writing tablet. I have bought several portable monitors before, and they all failed one way or the other after a while, and they were in the $200-$300 range. So hopefully this is be solid enough to last for a long time.
Conclusion: This is as far as I have gone, since I only have it for less than a day. I will continue to use it and will update my experience if new discovery, positive or negative, comes up, I will update this review. I hope this helps those of you who may have questions on this tablet. So in conclusion, I like what I get, except that it is quite expensive and I hope I would not have to buy another one any time soon.

 As a first time drawing screen tablet used, I would recommend this tablet, it's affordable and gets the jobs done.
This has my first impressions of the tablet, setup and feelings about it after two weeks of use. It is also my first time using a tablet with a screen, but I have used multiple drawing tablets with no screen.
When I open the box, it was easy to open and came with some instruction like where to download the diver and some basic stuff to know about the tablet
The box also had sticker to identify the shortcut buttons, thought I found the sticker to be too large to put on the shortcut buttons and square while the buttons are round. It looks like if I put them on, they would stick off the buttons and make it easy to get dust on them and be easy to accidentally peel off. I think it would be better if the stickers were round and smaller.
It comes with adjustable power head that can convert to different power grids. Since I’m in the US I got the US version. It’s easy to remove and replace with the conversion for when you travel.
It also came with an adjustable stand for the tablet. When I first tried to open it, it was very hard. I felt like I might break it if I tried to open it. It did become easier after repeated tries. I’d would recommend you get something thin to help you pry it open the first couple times. I think it would help if the tab that close the stand was not so tight thought.
To me the stand has a good range of angles. The six positions allow you to adjust it at the viewing angel that is most comfortable to you and your wrist position. For me the lowest was the most comfortable for both my wrist and viewing.
At one point while I was unpacking, I placed the pen and pen-holder off to the side with the pen inside the pen holder and accidentally hit it. I thought I would have been knocked off like with my other tablet, but I was surprised to see it wasn’t. I tend to move my hand into my tablet pen when I set them off to the side so it was nice to see it can keep its balance pretty well. You have to be very deliberately to try to knock it down.
Before I used it, I did let the tablet charge for a day. When I saw the wires at first, I thought the cord to plug into my computer would not be long enough, but its length is OK for me. My computer tower and tablet are about 3 feet apart. While I was trying to connect my table to my computer, I notice that either my table would only show or my screen would, not both at the same time. This was not the tablets fault, but my computer was at fault here as I found out it can’t support two screens through HDMI. I’m not sure it’s because my computer is a little older being about 5 years old. But since my computer also supports VGA and so does my computer monitor, I plugged my tablet through HDMI and my screen through VGA. If your experience a similar problem, it’s might not be the tablet it might be your computers limitations.
Installing the driver was easy to do but their is no disk. The Huon website has driver you need.
When I finally turn on my screen, it looks weird to me before I realized it, I had a very yellow tint. I couldn’t find Instructions on the manual on how to adjust screen settings form color, brightness, and so on to do this when I first got it. After an hour of trial and error, I found out to do so that you have to press and hold the very last button (the OSD Button) to put into settings/adjustment mode. I was able to adjust it by using the shortcut buttons on the side of the tablet. When I was doing this, this was the how I moved around in the settings/adjustment menu. The second(2nd) and third (3rd) blank buttons from the power button are the direction buttons and the fifth (5th) blank button is used to confirm and sixth (6th) blank button to cancel. If/when the menu disappears press the fourth blank button to make the menu reappear. To exit out of adjustment screen menu/mode press and hold the OSD button again.
Setting up shortcut buttons on the tablet are customizable and easy for me. I use multiple programs but all the shortcut is the same so I didn’t have to worry about changing them for each program, but it should be aware that you can only have one setting. But in the manager, you can save your setting for multiple programs.
When calibrating the screen make sure you do this in the position and angel your going to draw in and to hold your hand in your drawing position. I didn’t do this at first, so screen calibration was a little off for my comfort.
After all the setup I started drawing and for the two weeks I had it, it took a little adjusting since I have only used drawing tablets with no screen. But once I got adjusted it became a lot easier to draw on this tablet. I made the adjustment where my tablet screen is an extension of my main monitor. I did this mainly so I can make a pop off window for my drawings and see it from multiple screens and also handle other task or even just watch videos on my main screen while I’m drawing on the tablet.
While setting up the tablet was frustrating at times. I found once done it was fun and easy to draw on for my first time using a screen tablet.
