About this deal

This tablet might not be the best in terms of portability because it won’t fit in most “normal” size bags, but it’s still really slim so you can probably bring it around with you easily if you get a slightly bigger bag for it. Both have really good colours, although I suppose that changes depending on whether you’re going to calibrate it or not. The stand has a good build with a front metal plate and plastic base, and it also keeps a good grip on the table and tablet with its rubber pads. The Huion Kamvas Pro 16 is a display graphics tablet that targets the entry-level market for students, first-time display tablet users or simply those on a tight budget who want to make the jump from older, outdated hardware.

With regards to the tablet I currently use, I use the Huion H1060P because my sweaty palms make using a drawing monitor way too much of a hassle.This new pen calibration which takes pen tilt into account is actually really nice since the cursor always stays under the pen nib even when using the pen from a different angle than usual. Huion has already told me they are working on fixing it, so I’m very hopeful that it will be fixed by the time this tablet is sent out. com/item/HUION-Kamvas-Pro-16-GT-156-Graphic-tablet-Drawing-tablet-Digital-Monitor-8192-Levels-with-Shortcut/33016749008. These results are fantastic as this means that this tablet is suitable for use with colour accurate work (if you calibrate it).

The pen has a subtle taper towards the top, and a bulge near the tip which makes it very comfortable to hold and use. If you are considering this tablet, I think it is an amazing option and it certainly gets my recommendation.

The matte surface full metal back is what contributes significantly to the premium feel and build quality of this product. You bring up a good point about how the Wacom Cintiq 16 has more parallax due to not having a laminated screen.

However, if you are going to calibrate the display, then the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 has slightly better calibrated results.I personally think it’s a very traditional artist thing to tilt the pen in all directions, and since you’re already used to digital art on a screen-less tablet you probably don’t have a habit of tilting the pen in all directions. With regards to sensitivity at lighter pressures, I honestly didn’t feel a difference between the two, so I have no comment on that. Also it does appear that I need to invest in a colorimeter (fingers crossed that my screen isn’t defective), my OSD settings are wildly different and I had to spend hours each day (resting my eyes in between) tinkering with every option available.

One thing to note is that 120% sRGB does not always equate directly to 92% AdobeRGB as claimed on the product page. The settings I have right now are: Backlight=50, Brightness=50, Contrast=50, Sharpness=2, Gamma=Off, Color Temperature=User (Red=129, Green=115, Blue=115). The one thing I wouldn’t recommend is Huion’s tablet stand though because it doesn’t really have many choices for angles. Ever since I bought my first Wacom alternative tablet, I've become interested in finding out what other alternative tablets are good, and trying to guide people to see that there's more than just Wacom on the market. The L-shaped cable used on the Huion is much safer and less in-the-way (so less likely to be broken by accident) compared to the cable which sticks straight out of the XP-Pen.How much does pen tilt affect the position of the cursor in relation to the pen on the Huion Kamvas Pro 16? The Kamvas Pro 16 also has a better Color gamut coverage ratio, with 120% sRGB over the Cintiq's 96%. I also use a 50px pen pressure enabled pen to see the visibility of wobble/jitter with pen pressure is enabled.
