For a guy who has used a Huion gt-190 I can vouche that this product line is worth your time and money. Just be sure to get the tablet from a serious distributer in case the monitor breaks from shipping or otherwise. I've used my tablet for about 3 years now. My friend has used the GT-220 since almost a year back and it's still kicking as if it's brand new.
How's the brush delay Jazza? Does it have any minor lags from when you do the stroke to when the line appears? Doesn't seem like it from your review. Looks sweet as fuck for its price. I'm interested.
I use a Huion H610n and I'm really impressed with it. 10" workspace 2048 levels of pressure and nearly 5k lpi. HALF the price of a wacom and it works perfectly with CS &TB.Its been used in the animations on my channel.
hi Jazza. well, said I would give my view on this Tablet, so, after having it for almost a month now and have to say I love it, as my decision to buy was on this review, have to say thank you. Setup was easy. (and yes I did put the stand on the wrong way as well ) :) drawing on the screen is more natural than using my Wacom tablet and as a result you get work finished faster.
Ran pretty fast through the one they give you with the tablet.But now, I'm still at the first one of a second set I bought after quite alot of time xD...
same. haha. i hope i can start working soon and then i'll just have to safe money and i can buy the gt-220v2. because it looks nice and the reviews and ratings on amazon are great too.
Hey Jazza, awesome video. But how does it compare to the higher end ones like the Cintiq? Any drawbacks in that regard because I am considering saving up for the much more expensive Cintiq. Thanks! :D
actually got this tablet after watching this and i've been using it ever since. i'm pleased! until i can afford a cintiq, this is a really good replacement.
I personally use a Huion graphics tablet and i am in love with it. iGlad to see their other products are just as good and i can tell that I can upgrade and stay in the same company i enjoy and keep the same quality i love.
He mentions at 3:12 that it has a 178 degree wide viewing angle. You can see him drawing in real time at 3:50 which gives you a good idea of the lag. He said that the Huion tablet didn't hold back his drawing. I believe he normally uses a Cintiq so that indicates that he finds it not noticeably worse than a Cintiq (and also implies that he doesn't find it better either). Don't know about the other questions. One I'd like to add is that the surface looks REALLY reflective in the video. Is it?
hi, I can responde your enquires, the parallax is null if you calibrate the monitor well, this take time, the pen tip feels really smooth when the pen slide and doesn't make noise, except if you don't clean the display or you use water or a cheap cleaner solution. the responsive is a +10, very resposive and accurate , i don't have problem at all. the cons are: only 80hs of pen battery (just one week) not anti glare screen, pen feels a little cheap but works perfect. the weakness of the product are the pen and the cable position rear of the screen when you adjust the stand the monitor sometimes blinks a little because the cables are blended
Excellent video! I was trying desperately to get the Bosto Kingtee 22U mini, but I couldn't find it anywhere and was starting to wonder what to do. I think I'll grab this one. Thanks for that thorough review and that discount!
Jazza, while you were talking about the tablet. You forgot to mention the functionality of the tablet button on the screen, it would be a nice quick mention when you're doing another tablet review. :)
Did they tell you to not say Wacom??? felt kind of fake :/ I mean most people do use Wacom(you just kept on saying digital tablets like they were a ton on the market) and would have been nice to know what the differences are.
There actually are a few digital tablets on the market from Microsoft, the iPad Pro, Ugee, and a few off-brand tablets. Wacom is just the most well known. I think he didn't mention Wacom because this wasn't a comparison video. Maybe he'll do one in the future, but he stayed on topic with it just being a review video.
Damnit, this is why I love you. Not only are you humble, and inspiring, and insightful, but you aren't one of those people who is like "Wacom is the only viable solution, all others are absolutely garbage and you are not a real artist if you dont use a Wacom!" I have used both a Ugee 2150 and an Ugee 1560K, and (Though the 2150 developed a fault) they both work quite well and had drivers that were compatible with just about any program Wacom could work with. Granted "Wacom Imitations" generally have less quality-of-life additions than the aforementioned pen-tablet juggernaut Wacom, such as a slick non-matte screen and no eraser on the end of the pens, etc, they are very affordable and user-friendly. Not to mention dealing with Ugee has been very pleasant, and when I had to return my 2150 they were exceptionally accommodating and friendly about it. I'm not necessarily dissing on Wacom however, and personally I have ordered one of their tablets to arrive soon to use, but the fact remains that in this day and age they are not the ONLY option for budding artists and creative people wishing to move past hindrances with other mediums. So I really thank you for being probably the most open-minded artist I have ever seen.
My experience with Huion : 2 years ago i bought a h610 tablet (cheap intuos) it didnt works, the pen was writing alone even not touching the screen so, it was unusable. I bought a new pen, but same thing, i smach it to the ground (i know) so i didnt get a new one. I tought i will never buy huion again, but i needed a bigger screen as my cintic 12wx, so i came accrosse this gt220, i put away my hate for huion and bought it, for 650€, and now iam happy with it. Realy, the screen is big and beautiful, the pen works nice and all, but its not a wacom so, there is no pen tilt, you have to rechage your pen few time a mounth or less. And calibrate it can be a pain in the ass, but when calibrate it's all good. And YES it's cheap for what it is, the wacom 22inch is 3 times the prices so, it worth the price. Now, like all chinese product you have a (bad) chance to get a problem, but it seems huion are doing better and better, and realy doing theire best.
Wow! The glass on this Huion is really thin. Very nice, almost no parallax This looks much much better than the Cintiq HD13... especially if you don't desperately need express keys.
Quick question jazza; did you experienced any problems with the driver for instance with the installation or the pressure function not working? I am asking this because most of the time the problem with the cheaper tablets is the software not the hardware. Keep up the good work!
I actually own a Huion clone tablet that has a few bad sensors (Turcom, and it was 20 USD), and my current monitor is slowly dying. If I had any cash, upgrading to that would be perfect for me, even though I'm just starting out. Because if it turns out that animation isn't for me, I will have a decent monitor with the option to use a pen, which is still neat.
Hi Jazza thanks for your videos, i find them very informative and to the point. I would like to hear your opinion on the ipad pro / apple pencil + astropad combination. I'd like to hear what a non-apple artist thinks. Thanks again
+Draw with Jazza Thank you for this review. I have always known that I COULD draw but never knew how to go about it. Ever since finding your tutorials, I have been able to create so much more than I ever thought I could. I want to get a drawing tablet but as a first time buyer, I am quite nervous about making such a big purchase. What would you say your absolute favorite has been?
A lot of tattoo artists around my area have been working almost exclusively now with iPad Pros and the Apple Pen. Would be cool to see you review that product as far as creating completed works and such. Love the videos, Jazza!
I noticed there wasn't any side panel with hot key, like on a Wacom tablets. Did that cause any issue with using shortcuts, or did you just have a keyboard set up?
Jazza what kind of specs are you using with your desktop? I remember that you used to have it in your description (I think) and it is no longer there, I'm really just interested in CPU and gpu config, thank you in advance anyone that can answer this. Keep up the good work!
Blake Watkins i would recommend Wacom If you need a really cheap option they have the non screen tablets for anywhere from 50-150$. Mine has been worth every penny and I like having the peace of mind that comes with buying from a well known and well liked company.
I'm probably getting a new tablet soon. You have the Wacom Cintiq 13HD, right? Can you tell a difference between the two? Disregarding the price, but performance wise.
Hello Jazza! I was wondering if you could do a review of the Huion Inspiroy Q11K tablet. It's the one I use and I love it but I was wondering what you think about it
"Sorry, this item can't be shipped to your selected address. Learn more. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order." I live in the CBD of Australia's 6th biggest city but they cant ship to me. This is why I have held off buying your book too Jazza, Amazon is not very Aussie friendly.
Hello! I have a question! I have the budget for both this and a Cintiq 13HD. I never used a pen tablet monitor before, so this would be my first time buying one. My primary income comes from my art, so I want something that promises the same speed and quality I can produce with my Wacom Intuos pro medium and gives me a window to improve on it. Should I go with the cheaper large one or the one that costs only a little more, much smaller but is a market leading product?
Jazza should do an updated video talking about how this tablet is putting up so that we can see the later quality of the tablet! Do like to support this idea!
He probably sent it back ages ago - the company just sent it to him for review purposes, not to keep. He owns a Cintiq so there'd be no reason for him to continue using this tablet.
He also says in the video, that he only used it for 2 days. It's a paid review not his personal preference. Which was also indicated at the bottom right of the video as it starts.
So, I got sponsored by Huion and they sent me a GT 220 v2, the tablet Jazza is reviewing. I used it for a month 8 hours a day. I finished a 6 minute animation with it with no issues at all. The pen is the only thing that might bother some people switching from wacom but it's decent enough to use for professional work. I love this tablet and it gave me the performance I expected. It doesn't overheat that much and it only gets warm on the top part for me which doesn't affect my drawing in any way. Lack of express keys isn't ever an issue for me. Keyboard is my best choice. Anyway I might have been lucky but I had a great experience with this tablet and animation is my bread and butter so I need something reliable. I'm beyond satisfied with this unit so if you're thinking about buying a Huion tablet I can assure this one will make you happy.
My mom said that I had to draw a picture that she’ll judge and I need to pass all 3 of my test. After she asked for a review of this. I reached all the conditions and I’m getting the GT-220 V2!!
I'd sure like to see a side by side breakdown of features compared to cintiq. price is one thing, but is it worth it to pay the extra bucks for quality?.
TJ Duprey In my opinion, the only time its worth spending $2,000+ on a drawing tablet(like a cintiq), is if you will be using it for a career. Also if that career will rake you in the money you spent in a month or less. Just my opinion though.
True. But that would be the idea of anyone buying an $800 huion as well wouldn't it? That's not pocket change either. I'm a traditional artist exploring digital. The digital market is where the money is at. So do I save a few more bucks and get the cintiq or blow half that wad on a potentially subpar huion. Is "good", good enough? I take it from your comment, you feel the cintiq is still superior? On a flat value basis, not value for the money.
cintiq is superior by miles. My BF has a 220 like this, his cursor drift is fucking terrible, few cm off at some locations on the screen. Near the middle it seems less prevalent. I would say if you want a sure thing, go with a wacom. These alternative things are a little bit of a lucky packet, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose hard. Depending on where you live, you might be able to pick up a very well priced older model cintiq like a 21UX for $800. I just did a search for the 21UX on ebay and found a perfect condition one for $800. Your call!
The way I see it, Wacom is good for professionals with some money to spend. It gives them the quality tools they need to make quality art. Huion is good for those on a tighter budget. Whether it be those who are relatively new to digital art, or professionals, who want to upgrade to a display tablet without having to completely empty their bank account. Huion provides a good quality tablet for a lot less. Not as good as a Wacom, but still good enough to make great art. If you are so concerned about Huion not being up to your standards, then go with Wacom. Only way to really know for sure though, is to try one for yourself.
Funnily enough my Cintiq 13HD gets very inaccurate towards the edges too, no matter how often I calibrate it. Plus I had to RMA this tablet 3 times when I got it because of dead pixels. Don't just always assume "higher price = higher quality". I'd actually seriously consider getting one of these if I ever have the money to upgrade.
Jeffrey Schreurs I'm not a pro on the tablet industry but I don't see Wacom as having a monopoly. More like they're the apple. So it will be mainstream and they're the initial innovators but eventually other brands will catch up. Just like how apple isn't evil for having a large audience neither is wacom
Julia Justice the only reason apple exists is windows, and wacom was one of the best ones when the drawing tablets started being a thing, all the others were weird chinese knock offs
***** as true as that may be, Wacom is running off with the monopoly on it, as even in my country, no other brand then Wacom is shown in public rooms. sure it takes but a little research to know there's cheap alternatives, but not everybody trusts chinese production in terms of quality here, hence why wacom is so damn present
Okay i must add one crucial detail that Jazza did not mention, possibly due to this being apparenlty sponsored by HUION (or maybe his screen didn't do this). The bottom part of the screen gets super hot after only 30 mins - 1 hour of use. This annoys me so much. It makes me anxious that something's gonna break eventually due to the bottom part of the screen getting so hot.
I never noticed this as I was wearing a smudge-guard glove which reduces heat transfer as well as fiction. I didn't omit any problems with the device in the review just because Huion sponsored the video. There were two specific issues I had which I mentioned in the video :)
Alexander Oakleaf I was being kinda ironical. But in the country that I live, which is Brazil, one dollar costs like 3,65 r$. So the 13 inch cintiq usually reaches 20k r$
how much is an apple mac out there by curiosity then, because a good professional wacom cintiq second hand you can grab for $900 and then brand new you CAN get it as cheap as $1400, generally its usually around the $1800 mark up though. But for professional quality (and by the way, the newest cintiq with HD and such has such perfect and stunning colours for real its SOOO SO worth it. I personally wouldnt say the huion is better, but it would fair up as a tablet that is JUST as good. Just not better. However my opinion may be void as im about to spend nearly $200 on colouring pencils XD
Me too! right now there's a 15% discount until dec. 31 in Huions oficial Website i wanna get it... but i don't know if i can gather the money on time... :/
Every HUION tablet I've ever bought died on me months after getting it. either the cord wouldn't work or it would keep disconnecting or the pad pressure it's self will suddenly stop, it's all been bad. glad you had a good experience with what is in my opinion is such a crappy brand. then again i cannot afford a $800 tablet
Yeah...I've considered getting a Huion tablet before, as it was like 1/2 the price of competitors. But I read majorly bad reviews, including bad customer service. So I decided I would avoid that hassle.
emily king How many months have they lasted in your experience? I'm only curious because I've have my Huion h610 pro for 4 months now and all is well. I've had no unsolvable problems and I love it. Hopefully it stays that way.
My huion experience has been the same. me and my friend got the same tablet, as it was on sale and it had pretty good reviews and was cheap, and we both had the same awful experience. Pressure failing, cord problems, driver problems, etc. And this was all within under 1 week of using it.
I used to think that too, until I bought one. It was only 50 dollars, so I wouldn't care too much if it didn't work or broke at some point. It served me well for over a year before I upgraded to one of their display tablets.
Amanda Taylor I've had four tablets all together and the longest one has ever lasted was 3 months. i guess i was just unlucky each time and got a bad one.
I've been a fan of this channel for a while now, starting ages ago for your oldest flash tutorials. That said, this entire review seems disingenuous. Usually with product reviews, you'd give comparisons with other leading brands, but now not only did you not do that, you don't even sound like you can convince yourself this is a worthwhile product. I think that reluctancy is damaging both to this review and to your channel as a brand. I use a Huion H610 Pro, so I know firsthand that there are lots of difficulties that come with Huion products. For display tablets, the drawing surface on top of the display is thick and oddly textured to draw on. I know cables often cut out and pieces stop functioning, even needing to be unplugged and re-plugged every time you want it to start working again. I get that this is a paid review and I understand that you're trying to run a business, but come on. Your best criticism is that the corners are a bit floppy and there's no button to double click? Real criticisms and real answers to why those either warrant or don't warrant the purchase of a product are vital to reviews. People like me rely on you and other artists for fair product reviews. The backbone of your reviews were that you could criticize what you thought was wrong with it which you could weigh against the price and feasibility of the product. Sorry man, but you've lost part of me as a fan because it seems you've lost your integrity as a reviewer.
Justin Sloth well he also said he only used it for two days, which may not have been enough time for the product to have problems. plus not every product huion makes is guaranteed to be problematic.
Justin V. Huion may not have the best regular drawing tablets, but when it comes to displays, they are at the same level as Wacom. You're using a fairly old tablet and one of Huion's few first I'm sure Huion has most definitely improved since then. They're managing to compete with Wacom which is already amazing.
Save your money until you can buy a wacom, I bought 2 of these, the first one didn't work and had water under the protection layer (and bubbles and rainbowish stains, I returned it.) and the second one's screen isn't well calibrated or broken ( when holding the pen against the screen, the cursor is way lower than the pen, and there's nothing you can do. 600 € wasted on a tablet that doesn't work like it should. Wacom may seem overpriced, but the quality is better.
Wacom has issues just as huion does as well as other tablet companies. Wacom is just more well known / more expensive and people assume that since every professionak that can afford them buys them, that they're more reliable than any other type of company which is untrue. Huion has improved their tablets to wacom levels over the years and they're shaping up to be worthy wacom competitors.
true however if u could buy 2 of the tablets for £600 (soz no euro sign :P) then u can get the Wacom 13 pro or 16 Pro? xD so why even bother with the Huion at that point? Huion is mostly for the beginners and have improved. since the old 13hd Wacom is 700 then that's also a good idea. Im getting the XP pen 15.6 because their in the same country as wacom and starting to use their technology more and more

If anyone is wondering - I got this pen display in late 2017 on a sale, and I've been using it heavily ever since. It still works perfectly. I dislike several things about it but none of them hinder my performance. The worst are: it's difficult to calibrate equally across the screen, because the discrepancy between the cursor and pen position is bigger the closer you get to the edge; the pen doesn't have any indication of when it's fully charged, or how much battery capacity is left; the screen protector is literally stuck to the screen using double sided tape, so dust gets in from time to time and needs to be cleaned (I damaged it once while it was off but it makes no difference in reality). All in all - Huion makes good displays and I'd upgrade in a heartbeat to a newer model with a higher res, fully laminated screen and a battery-less pen, when it's available.
I bought it! Well it looks like it's finally giving up on me. I opened up the computer today and the right top corner display has a "darkening" edge that's affecting a third of my screen. I've sent a ticket but outlook seems grim. It's a hardware issue that might cost more to replace than buy a new digital tablet. I'm so bummed, it was perfectly fine and it looks like I have to dole out more $$$ for something that lasted only 3 years! :'(
Hi there, I was interested in this kind of product, because I wanted something to give me that direct link with what I was drawing, and I watched this review. Well, I finally got it in today, and this REALLY is amazing! I'm glad to have seen this video because it helped me to make up my mind, and I do not regret it. It feels so good! Thank you for your review!
Last year I bought my Cintiq 13HD. I was choosing between the 13HD, Kingee brand, or Huion brand. The main reason why I settled on the Cintiq is because the company is way more reliable. I've heard way too many horror stories of Huion and Kingee that I didn't want to risk it. I also decided on the Cintiq because it has hotkeys on the side and also an eraser on the pen, which are my main tools that I use in a tablet. And to those saying "wow! $799? That's not affordable whatsoever!" Have you SEEN the prices for that size of pen display? A Cintiq that size costs $2,500!! The cheapest cintiq, aka the smallest, is the same price as this Huion tablet that is easily 3x as big!
I've always wanted one of these kind of tablets, sadly my budjet is never going to be in that range, so I guess I'm sticking to my simple Wacom Bamboo lol. However I did want to say I love your brushes Jazza, they make digital art so much easier, makes it feel a bit closer to doing it traditionally :)
I may be getting this tablet soon so I was really pleased to see your review (you’re like my favourite art youtuber so I trust your opinion) thanks for the great video
After this and other reviews I'm convinced and I'm going for the X-Pen 22E.. If you guys have anything to say about this decision feel free to tell me, I'm open for opinions
I want it so bad but it's WAY too much money (I got a Wacom tablet yesterday for Christmas I appreciate all the advice it really helped thank you everyone)
tablet is $800: "I can't afford that!"
jazza:"there is a sale that I'm doing"
me:"oh?"
jazza:"it's 5% off"
me:"fuck"
cries
Amazon also has a sale now for 700 so plus that 5% ain't bad
Walter Alegria But how long is amazon gonna have that sale?
U find it on Ebay for 300 xd
u can get a intuos draw (Only a pad, No LCD) Is £63

Draw with Jazza How is $699 cheap?
+kinoGreyalP It costs less than half of the Wacom equivalent.
Draw with Jazza Thank you for the discount I've been saving up money for a while to get one
Jazza, could you review. Ugee HK1560. It's 400 USD brand new (last month release), 15.6 Pen display, 1080p with adjustable stand
Draw with Jazza I have a HUION tablet but it's a different cheaper one
For a guy who has used a Huion gt-190 I can vouche that this product line is worth your time and money. Just be sure to get the tablet from a serious distributer in case the monitor breaks from shipping or otherwise. I've used my tablet for about 3 years now. My friend has used the GT-220 since almost a year back and it's still kicking as if it's brand new.
How's the brush delay Jazza? Does it have any minor lags from when you do the stroke to when the line appears? Doesn't seem like it from your review. Looks sweet as fuck for its price. I'm interested.
I use a Huion H610n and I'm really impressed with it. 10" workspace 2048 levels of pressure and nearly 5k lpi. HALF the price of a wacom and it works perfectly with CS &TB.Its been used in the animations on my channel.
Hey Jazza, thanks for taking your time in reviewing this tablet. Even though it sounds from the comments below that it might be a bit unreliable.
I was so anxious to get 1 so I bought it last X-mass direct from Shenzhen, China
it was a nice deal and I love it!
hi Jazza.
well, said I would give my view on this Tablet, so, after having it for almost a month now and have to say I love it, as my decision to buy was on this review, have to say thank you.
Setup was easy. (and yes I did put the stand on the wrong way as well ) :) drawing on the screen is more natural than using my Wacom tablet and as a result you get work finished faster.
Still rocking on my potato Bamboo xD...Hopefully next year I will afford some better tablet ^^
iCRED haha I have a Intuos draw and it's good enough lol.
jessie li I'm using Intuos Manga tho XD
Ran pretty fast through the one they give you with the tablet.But now, I'm still at the first one of a second set I bought after quite alot of time xD...
same. haha. i hope i can start working soon and then i'll just have to safe money and i can buy the gt-220v2. because it looks nice and the reviews and ratings on amazon are great too.
iCRED Me too, but you're lucky to own a Bamboo. That shiz is gonna become a collector's edition thing.
Huion is a great company and I'm quite happy to see you reviewing their products.
Hey Jazza, awesome video. But how does it compare to the higher end ones like the Cintiq? Any drawbacks in that regard because I am considering saving up for the much more expensive Cintiq. Thanks! :D
actually got this tablet after watching this and i've been using it ever since. i'm pleased! until i can afford a cintiq, this is a really good replacement.
I like the image of Connor when you first show the Huion GT-156HD V2. BTW I just finished AC3 which he is in.
I have the Huion GT-221. It is great! In part I bought it after listening to Jazza's critique.
By the way, I also have a Wacom Intous 4 which I use on my big monitor. So far I have not had a problem between the two tablets.
I own the Huion A3 light table and it feels real sturdy. More importantly, it has an even lighting.
I've been using my dads 5-6 year old Wacom tablet with a crack down the centre and this video helped my pick a new device for my art work thx jazza
Wow, thanks very much Jazza! This is what I have been looking for for weeks now. I very nearly forked out the extra £100 for a wacom!
I personally use a Huion graphics tablet and i am in love with it. iGlad to see their other products are just as good and i can tell that I can upgrade and stay in the same company i enjoy and keep the same quality i love.
surfaced studio is way more expensive but way more beatiful
when I briefly tried it I didn't like it for drawing
He mentions at 3:12 that it has a 178 degree wide viewing angle.
You can see him drawing in real time at 3:50 which gives you a good idea of the lag.
He said that the Huion tablet didn't hold back his drawing. I believe he normally uses a Cintiq so that indicates that he finds it not noticeably worse than a Cintiq (and also implies that he doesn't find it better either).
Don't know about the other questions.
One I'd like to add is that the surface looks REALLY reflective in the video. Is it?
Draw with Jazza mh, can't argue with that.
And it's something else entirely. Compare bananas against bananas.
hi, I can responde your enquires, the parallax is null if you calibrate the monitor well, this take time, the pen tip feels really smooth when the pen slide and doesn't make noise, except if you don't clean the display or you use water or a cheap cleaner solution.
the responsive is a +10, very resposive and accurate , i don't have problem at all.
the cons are:
only 80hs of pen battery (just one week)
not anti glare screen,
pen feels a little cheap but works perfect.
the weakness of the product are the pen and the cable position rear of the screen when you adjust the stand the monitor sometimes blinks a little because the cables are blended
Excellent video! I was trying desperately to get the Bosto Kingtee 22U mini, but I couldn't find it anywhere and was starting to wonder what to do. I think I'll grab this one. Thanks for that thorough review and that discount!
Jazza, while you were talking about the tablet. You forgot to mention the functionality of the tablet button on the screen, it would be a nice quick mention when you're doing another tablet review. :)
Did they tell you to not say Wacom??? felt kind of fake :/ I mean most people do use Wacom(you just kept on saying digital tablets like they were a ton on the market) and would have been nice to know what the differences are.

Not only are you humble, and inspiring, and insightful, but you aren't one of those people who is like "Wacom is the only viable solution, all others are absolutely garbage and you are not a real artist if you dont use a Wacom!"
I have used both a Ugee 2150 and an Ugee 1560K, and (Though the 2150 developed a fault) they both work quite well and had drivers that were compatible with just about any program Wacom could work with. Granted "Wacom Imitations" generally have less quality-of-life additions than the aforementioned pen-tablet juggernaut Wacom, such as a slick non-matte screen and no eraser on the end of the pens, etc, they are very affordable and user-friendly. Not to mention dealing with Ugee has been very pleasant, and when I had to return my 2150 they were exceptionally accommodating and friendly about it.
I'm not necessarily dissing on Wacom however, and personally I have ordered one of their tablets to arrive soon to use, but the fact remains that in this day and age they are not the ONLY option for budding artists and creative people wishing to move past hindrances with other mediums.
So I really thank you for being probably the most open-minded artist I have ever seen.
I just bought one. I hope it rocks!
must. have. early. joke.
oh I got it. my life
or this tablet.
My experience with Huion : 2 years ago i bought a h610 tablet (cheap intuos) it didnt works, the pen was writing alone even not touching the screen so, it was unusable. I bought a new pen, but same thing, i smach it to the ground (i know) so i didnt get a new one. I tought i will never buy huion again, but i needed a bigger screen as my cintic 12wx, so i came accrosse this gt220, i put away my hate for huion and bought it, for 650€, and now iam happy with it. Realy, the screen is big and beautiful, the pen works nice and all, but its not a wacom so, there is no pen tilt, you have to rechage your pen few time a mounth or less. And calibrate it can be a pain in the ass, but when calibrate it's all good. And YES it's cheap for what it is, the wacom 22inch is 3 times the prices so, it worth the price. Now, like all chinese product you have a (bad) chance to get a problem, but it seems huion are doing better and better, and realy doing theire best.
great video! definitely on the personal Christmas shopping list.
A tablet I would love to see you use is the Parblo A610
I just got it myself as my first tablet and so far I have loved it.
What a coincidence. Just the last week I take the gt220 v2 also haha. Great review :D
Wow! The glass on this Huion is really thin. Very nice, almost no parallax
This looks much much better than the Cintiq HD13... especially if you don't desperately need express keys.
Great video. Do you think Wacom will release a new 27-inch Cintiq soon that supports the Pro Pen 2 ?
Quick question jazza; did you experienced any problems with the driver for instance with the installation or the pressure function not working? I am asking this because most of the time the problem with the cheaper tablets is the software not the hardware. Keep up the good work!
if you have a decent laptop / pc already the ugee hk1560 is amazing for the price, it needs some color calibration but it functions really well
I actually own a Huion clone tablet that has a few bad sensors (Turcom, and it was 20 USD), and my current monitor is slowly dying.
If I had any cash, upgrading to that would be perfect for me, even though I'm just starting out. Because if it turns out that animation isn't for me, I will have a decent monitor with the option to use a pen, which is still neat.
Sounds like a good buy to me. Looks good thanks for the review .... Damn shame I'm a year late seeing this 😧......
huion is good actually and is budget, good enough to produce professional stuff
Hi Jazza thanks for your videos, i find them very informative and to the point. I would like to hear your opinion on the ipad pro / apple pencil +
astropad combination. I'd like to hear what a non-apple artist thinks. Thanks again
I have a HUION tablet, and I think that it is great.
Get the 13 Hd no touch i think personally, I'm probably getting the cintiq pro 13 hd
+Draw with Jazza Thank you for this review. I have always known that I COULD draw but never knew how to go about it. Ever since finding your tutorials, I have been able to create so much more than I ever thought I could. I want to get a drawing tablet but as a first time buyer, I am quite nervous about making such a big purchase. What would you say your absolute favorite has been?
Well I mean for anyone in the UK it's currently £395 which is so cheap and yes I am considering buying this
A lot of tattoo artists around my area have been working almost exclusively now with iPad Pros and the Apple Pen. Would be cool to see you review that product as far as creating completed works and such. Love the videos, Jazza!
I noticed there wasn't any side panel with hot key, like on a Wacom tablets. Did that cause any issue with using shortcuts, or did you just have a keyboard set up?
Jazza what kind of specs are you using with your desktop? I remember that you used to have it in your description (I think) and it is no longer there, I'm really just interested in CPU and gpu config, thank you in advance anyone that can answer this. Keep up the good work!
I own a regular Huion. It is comparable to Wacom. The biggest difference is that it needs batteries in the pen.
5%?!!?! Hahaha Jazza you're really funny
Is this code for all Huion tablets or just this one? Because it's so huge, I don't have enough space for such an enormous tablet
Woaah, technology!
I may consider this tablet for digital art
Blake Watkins i would recommend Wacom If you need a really cheap option they have the non screen tablets for anywhere from 50-150$. Mine has been worth every penny and I like having the peace of mind that comes with buying from a well known and well liked company.
Julia Justice see I want one where there's a visible screen on the tablet itself such as the one in this video
lol 5% of smooth huion! Not even 10%. Thanks for the wonderful review!!!
STAND?
STAR PLATINUM!
omg this video came out in my birthday.
Thank you
g'day jazza
I'm probably getting a new tablet soon.
You have the Wacom Cintiq 13HD, right? Can you tell a difference between the two? Disregarding the price, but performance wise.
nice! thankyou for the review
Jazz a I was wondering I also live in Austraila and I was wondering where you get your art supplies like markers pencils extra
I have looked up all the links in your description and not one of them ships to australia. l am really bummed as l was so hyped to get it :/
I have an h420 and it's stylus takes AAA+ batteries. Any tips on how to make better art, less lumpy lines, etc.?
I have the exact same desktop backgrund. I was so confused xD
Hello Jazza! I was wondering if you could do a review of the Huion Inspiroy Q11K tablet. It's the one I use and I love it but I was wondering what you think about it
please review the huion kamvas gt 191!
Do you think you might get one of the new Cintiq Pro's? The 13 and 16 inch models.
do more reviews on HUION
"Sorry, this item can't be shipped to your selected address. Learn more. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order."
I live in the CBD of Australia's 6th biggest city but they cant ship to me. This is why I have held off buying your book too Jazza, Amazon is not very Aussie friendly.
Hey Jazza, what do you think about Microsoft surface studio, do you think that this pc will replace digital tablets?
Please review the UGEE 1910b tablet!!
Hello! I have a question! I have the budget for both this and a Cintiq 13HD. I never used a pen tablet monitor before, so this would be my first time buying one. My primary income comes from my art, so I want something that promises the same speed and quality I can produce with my Wacom Intuos pro medium and gives me a window to improve on it. Should I go with the cheaper large one or the one that costs only a little more, much smaller but is a market leading product?
HEY Jazza try the pen Display Gaomon PD1650 plus i have it from 2017 christmas
Nice tablet Review!
Tablet screwed up line on 4:30 :/
Scarlet Streak Really i didnt know that, thats why i was asking.
Jazza should do an updated video talking about how this tablet is putting up so that we can see the later quality of the tablet! Do like to support this idea!
Graphical YES.
YES
He probably sent it back ages ago - the company just sent it to him for review purposes, not to keep. He owns a Cintiq so there'd be no reason for him to continue using this tablet.
He also says in the video, that he only used it for 2 days. It's a paid review not his personal preference. Which was also indicated at the bottom right of the video as it starts.
Yes plz.
So, I got sponsored by Huion and they sent me a GT 220 v2, the tablet Jazza is reviewing. I used it for a month 8 hours a day. I finished a 6 minute animation with it with no issues at all. The pen is the only thing that might bother some people switching from wacom but it's decent enough to use for professional work.
I love this tablet and it gave me the performance I expected. It doesn't overheat that much and it only gets warm on the top part for me which doesn't affect my drawing in any way. Lack of express keys isn't ever an issue for me. Keyboard is my best choice.
Anyway I might have been lucky but I had a great experience with this tablet and animation is my bread and butter so I need something reliable.
I'm beyond satisfied with this unit so if you're thinking about buying a Huion tablet I can assure this one will make you happy.
My mom said that I had to draw a picture that she’ll judge and I need to pass all 3 of my test. After she asked for a review of this.
I reached all the conditions and I’m getting the GT-220 V2!!
I'd sure like to see a side by side breakdown of features compared to cintiq. price is one thing, but is it worth it to pay the extra bucks for quality?.
TJ Duprey In my opinion, the only time its worth spending $2,000+ on a drawing tablet(like a cintiq), is if you will be using it for a career. Also if that career will rake you in the money you spent in a month or less. Just my opinion though.
True. But that would be the idea of anyone buying an $800 huion as well wouldn't it? That's not pocket change either. I'm a traditional artist exploring digital. The digital market is where the money is at. So do I save a few more bucks and get the cintiq or blow half that wad on a potentially subpar huion. Is "good", good enough? I take it from your comment, you feel the cintiq is still superior? On a flat value basis, not value for the money.
cintiq is superior by miles.
My BF has a 220 like this, his cursor drift is fucking terrible, few cm off at some locations on the screen. Near the middle it seems less prevalent.
I would say if you want a sure thing, go with a wacom. These alternative things are a little bit of a lucky packet, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose hard.
Depending on where you live, you might be able to pick up a very well priced older model cintiq like a 21UX for $800. I just did a search for the 21UX on ebay and found a perfect condition one for $800.
Your call!
The way I see it, Wacom is good for professionals with some money to spend. It gives them the quality tools they need to make quality art. Huion is good for those on a tighter budget. Whether it be those who are relatively new to digital art, or professionals, who want to upgrade to a display tablet without having to completely empty their bank account. Huion provides a good quality tablet for a lot less. Not as good as a Wacom, but still good enough to make great art. If you are so concerned about Huion not being up to your standards, then go with Wacom. Only way to really know for sure though, is to try one for yourself.
Funnily enough my Cintiq 13HD gets very inaccurate towards the edges too, no matter how often I calibrate it. Plus I had to RMA this tablet 3 times when I got it because of dead pixels. Don't just always assume "higher price = higher quality". I'd actually seriously consider getting one of these if I ever have the money to upgrade.
CALM DOWN PEOPLE
800 bucks for this is cheap in relative terms compared to wacom's ridiculously high monopolized prices ;)
Jeffrey Schreurs I'm not a pro on the tablet industry but I don't see Wacom as having a monopoly. More like they're the apple. So it will be mainstream and they're the initial innovators but eventually other brands will catch up. Just like how apple isn't evil for having a large audience neither is wacom
Julia Justice
the only reason apple exists is windows, and wacom was one of the best ones when the drawing tablets started being a thing, all the others were weird chinese knock offs
***** as true as that may be, Wacom is running off with the monopoly on it, as even in my country, no other brand then Wacom is shown in public rooms.
sure it takes but a little research to know there's cheap alternatives, but not everybody trusts chinese production in terms of quality here, hence why wacom is so damn present
huion's tablets are shit. I wasted 600€ on their crap.
It is now like 500 usd
Okay i must add one crucial detail that Jazza did not mention, possibly due to this being apparenlty sponsored by HUION (or maybe his screen didn't do this). The bottom part of the screen gets super hot after only 30 mins - 1 hour of use. This annoys me so much. It makes me anxious that something's gonna break eventually due to the bottom part of the screen getting so hot.
+MaiHead didn't mention as it's not something I experienced
Draw with Jazza
Ah, well then it must just be my HUION that's acting up. Probably should return it.
You may have a lemon I have the GT220 and it does not have any heating problems.
I never noticed this as I was wearing a smudge-guard glove which reduces heat transfer as well as fiction. I didn't omit any problems with the device in the review just because Huion sponsored the video. There were two specific issues I had which I mentioned in the video :)
A drawing tablet that isn't Wacom? BLASPHEMY!!
Jurgen The only blasphemy is to spend 5k dollars with a drawing tablet when you can pay half of that for a much better tablet
5K,? Which country does it cost that amount?
Alexander Oakleaf I was being kinda ironical. But in the country that I live, which is Brazil, one dollar costs like 3,65 r$. So the 13 inch cintiq usually reaches 20k r$
how much is an apple mac out there by curiosity then, because a good professional wacom cintiq second hand you can grab for $900 and then brand new you CAN get it as cheap as $1400, generally its usually around the $1800 mark up though. But for professional quality (and by the way, the newest cintiq with HD and such has such perfect and stunning colours for real its SOOO SO worth it. I personally wouldnt say the huion is better, but it would fair up as a tablet that is JUST as good. Just not better. However my opinion may be void as im about to spend nearly $200 on colouring pencils XD
Jurgen people genuinely think like that though, so dumb
Your Australian, and there is no Aussie store
I was excited for the discount but not avaliable to me either
Try and see if there is a Tablet on amazon or ebay. Maybe you can get it from there?
It's painful. Everything he does, despite being aussie, is based in pretty much everywhere EXCEPT au.
I'd say blame Australia for not having much to do with digital arts.
***** maybe his audience is mostly USA
Can you do a review on the Surface Studio?
Sean King lol that's $3000. But I do agree, I'd like to see him review it too.
+Sean King they wouldn't send me one- but I didn't follow up hard as I used one at MAX and didn't like it at all for art
Draw with Jazza That's actually quite surprising but thanks for the reply!
I'm looking at a video from 2016 and I'm in 2019 so I checked the price on this tablet and it's not $800 anymore it's just $399 (on Amazon)
201 view! Never clicked a notification this quickly
juniorcatDRAWS me either lol
Me too!
right now there's a 15% discount until dec. 31 in Huions oficial Website
i wanna get it... but i don't know if i can gather the money on time... :/
Every HUION tablet I've ever bought died on me months after getting it. either the cord wouldn't work or it would keep disconnecting or the pad pressure it's self will suddenly stop, it's all been bad.
glad you had a good experience with what is in my opinion is such a crappy brand.
then again i cannot afford a $800 tablet
Yeah...I've considered getting a Huion tablet before, as it was like 1/2 the price of competitors. But I read majorly bad reviews, including bad customer service. So I decided I would avoid that hassle.
emily king How many months have they lasted in your experience? I'm only curious because I've have my Huion h610 pro for 4 months now and all is well. I've had no unsolvable problems and I love it. Hopefully it stays that way.
My huion experience has been the same. me and my friend got the same tablet, as it was on sale and it had pretty good reviews and was cheap, and we both had the same awful experience. Pressure failing, cord problems, driver problems, etc.
And this was all within under 1 week of using it.
I used to think that too, until I bought one. It was only 50 dollars, so I wouldn't care too much if it didn't work or broke at some point. It served me well for over a year before I upgraded to one of their display tablets.
Amanda Taylor I've had four tablets all together and the longest one has ever lasted was 3 months. i guess i was just unlucky each time and got a bad one.
I might get this for christmas
Did you get that ???
Can you do a review on the drawing program, Fire Alpaca? It's free if you were wondering.
Anime Hotspot Asked this on his latest video. Idk if he will.
I think he made a video on that
I've been a fan of this channel for a while now, starting ages ago for your oldest flash tutorials. That said, this entire review seems disingenuous. Usually with product reviews, you'd give comparisons with other leading brands, but now not only did you not do that, you don't even sound like you can convince yourself this is a worthwhile product. I think that reluctancy is damaging both to this review and to your channel as a brand.
I use a Huion H610 Pro, so I know firsthand that there are lots of difficulties that come with Huion products. For display tablets, the drawing surface on top of the display is thick and oddly textured to draw on. I know cables often cut out and pieces stop functioning, even needing to be unplugged and re-plugged every time you want it to start working again. I get that this is a paid review and I understand that you're trying to run a business, but come on. Your best criticism is that the corners are a bit floppy and there's no button to double click? Real criticisms and real answers to why those either warrant or don't warrant the purchase of a product are vital to reviews. People like me rely on you and other artists for fair product reviews. The backbone of your reviews were that you could criticize what you thought was wrong with it which you could weigh against the price and feasibility of the product.
Sorry man, but you've lost part of me as a fan because it seems you've lost your integrity as a reviewer.
Justin Sloth well he also said he only used it for two days, which may not have been enough time for the product to have problems. plus not every product huion makes is guaranteed to be problematic.
Justin V. Huion may not have the best regular drawing tablets, but when it comes to displays, they are at the same level as Wacom.
You're using a fairly old tablet and one of Huion's few first I'm sure Huion has most definitely improved since then. They're managing to compete with Wacom which is already amazing.
Save your money until you can buy a wacom, I bought 2 of these, the first one didn't work and had water under the protection layer (and bubbles and rainbowish stains, I returned it.) and the second one's screen isn't well calibrated or broken ( when holding the pen against the screen, the cursor is way lower than the pen, and there's nothing you can do.
600 € wasted on a tablet that doesn't work like it should.
Wacom may seem overpriced, but the quality is better.
Kallista They ARE overpriced the problem is that they don't really have competitors
No wonder that they don't have competitors if the other brands are broken.
Wacom has issues just as huion does as well as other tablet companies. Wacom is just more well known / more expensive and people assume that since every professionak that can afford them buys them, that they're more reliable than any other type of company which is untrue. Huion has improved their tablets to wacom levels over the years and they're shaping up to be worthy wacom competitors.
true however if u could buy 2 of the tablets for £600 (soz no euro sign :P) then u can get the Wacom 13 pro or 16 Pro? xD so why even bother with the Huion at that point? Huion is mostly for the beginners and have improved. since the old 13hd Wacom is 700 then that's also a good idea. Im getting the XP pen 15.6 because their in the same country as wacom and starting to use their technology more and more
If anyone is wondering - I got this pen display in late 2017 on a sale, and I've been using it heavily ever since. It still works perfectly. I dislike several things about it but none of them hinder my performance. The worst are: it's difficult to calibrate equally across the screen, because the discrepancy between the cursor and pen position is bigger the closer you get to the edge; the pen doesn't have any indication of when it's fully charged, or how much battery capacity is left; the screen protector is literally stuck to the screen using double sided tape, so dust gets in from time to time and needs to be cleaned (I damaged it once while it was off but it makes no difference in reality). All in all - Huion makes good displays and I'd upgrade in a heartbeat to a newer model with a higher res, fully laminated screen and a battery-less pen, when it's available.
I bought it! Well it looks like it's finally giving up on me. I opened up the computer today and the right top corner display has a "darkening" edge that's affecting a third of my screen. I've sent a ticket but outlook seems grim. It's a hardware issue that might cost more to replace than buy a new digital tablet. I'm so bummed, it was perfectly fine and it looks like I have to dole out more $$$ for something that lasted only 3 years! :'(
Hi there, I was interested in this kind of product, because I wanted something to give me that direct link with what I was drawing, and I watched this review.
Well, I finally got it in today, and this REALLY is amazing! I'm glad to have seen this video because it helped me to make up my mind, and I do not regret it. It feels so good! Thank you for your review!
Last year I bought my Cintiq 13HD. I was choosing between the 13HD, Kingee brand, or Huion brand. The main reason why I settled on the Cintiq is because the company is way more reliable. I've heard way too many horror stories of Huion and Kingee that I didn't want to risk it. I also decided on the Cintiq because it has hotkeys on the side and also an eraser on the pen, which are my main tools that I use in a tablet.
And to those saying "wow! $799? That's not affordable whatsoever!" Have you SEEN the prices for that size of pen display? A Cintiq that size costs $2,500!! The cheapest cintiq, aka the smallest, is the same price as this Huion tablet that is easily 3x as big!
I've always wanted one of these kind of tablets, sadly my budjet is never going to be in that range, so I guess I'm sticking to my simple Wacom Bamboo lol. However I did want to say I love your brushes Jazza, they make digital art so much easier, makes it feel a bit closer to doing it traditionally :)
+KittyCatChey that's great :)
I may be getting this tablet soon so I was really pleased to see your review (you’re like my favourite art youtuber so I trust your opinion) thanks for the great video
After this and other reviews I'm convinced and I'm going for the X-Pen 22E.. If you guys have anything to say about this decision feel free to tell me, I'm open for opinions
Finally , Thanks a Lot for Reviewing this cuz i wanted u to review any huion device
jazza...can i get ur email coz i ve been doing some concept arts of some new characters that i wanna share with u n get some feedback
my man you have the most reviews of drawing monitor tablets...can you do a comparison on the XP-PEN Artist22E pro vs Huion KAMVAS GT-221
I think I'll stick with my Wacom Cintiq.
Already broke the bank with that.
I want it so bad but it's WAY too much money
(I got a Wacom tablet yesterday for Christmas I appreciate all the advice it really helped thank you everyone)
they make smaller ones that are a bit cheaper.
Look up artisul d10. Boom. Cheapest quality display tablet on the market. Even has quick buttons.
Display tablet... but yes there are much cheaper screenless tablets.
Brandon Burrows but are they actually good is the question.
KaiDaGreenDino oh really
