HUION KAMVAS GT-221 Pro Graphic Drawing Tablet with Screen 8192 Pen Pressure Sensitivity 21.5 Inch HD Graphic Drawing Monitor with 20 Express Keys and Touch Bar

To be honest, I expected to try this for a few days, find it unsatisfactory, and return it... but 10 days later, I fully intend to keep it. Off to a good start!Until now, I've worked with a Cintiq 13HD, which is effective, but cramped. In comparison, this thing is enormous, and in a good way. It's still light enough to push aside at the end of a session if you don't have a dedicated workspace, and the inbuilt stand is fine for using on a desk. Colours out of the box are, frankly, poor; but stick a colourimeter on it and it'll come up to 96% sRGB, which should do most people for web graphics.The inevitable warm spot is sensibly placed in the top centre, well away from where you want to rest your wrists regardless of which hand you use. The pen is slimmer than a Wacom, which may take a little getting used to, and it needs charging, but states about 350 hours use, and you get a spare so... hard to moan. The screen is matte, so no crazy reflections, no glassy squeaky noises, and no need to wear the included glove unless you particularly want to. There's even a cleaning cloth included in the box.Down sides... actually down side, singular. Vs Wacom devices, the pen accuracy isn't as good. With a Cintiq, the cursor and the nib are pretty much glued together. With the GT-221, no matter how many times I calibrate, there are places on the screen where the cursor is a little left, a little right, above or below the nib. This feels fixable with drivers and I'm hoping it will eventually be resolved. Does it hinder me meantime? Not really. I've tried both inking + cell shading, and painting style drawings, and both went well. After a couple of days I found I was just watching the cursor and not the nib and don't really notice it any more. There is a slight jitter when doing very (unrealistically) slow diagonals - this is present in every non-Wacom device I have tried, and this Huion is the best of the bunch by some margin.Is it flawless? No. But... nor is a Cintiq 22HD. The latter is bigger, heavier, hotter, older, and over twice the price. Nor is a Cintiq 13HD which is very small and costs about the same. Nor is a Cintiq 24 Pro, which is bigger, heavier, not in stock anywhere, has noisy fans in it, is over 3 times the price, and doesn't come with a stand (add another £300 for that luxury). I think what I'm saying is, you get an awful lot of drawing surface for your money, and unless you are very slow and very precise with your penwork, or really really want 4k, I can't see a reason why this isn't a completely viable alternative to the leading brand.Seriously, I'm fussy about this stuff; this is my third attempt to find a non-Wacom that's good enough, and this is the one I'm planning to stick with. Huion's product development cycle is faster by far, and I can buy their latest 22" model every year, with associated improvements, for 4 years before I break the budget of a single Cintiq 24 Pro. Really very satisfied with the price/performance from this Huion :)

Holy cow this thing is enourmous! And all those hot keys make it great to work with. It was fairly easy to set up and I’m very happy with my purchase. I have a Mac so I did have to buy a lightning/hdmi adapter to connect it as it doesn’t come with the Mac-specific cables.Also it took me a hot second to work out that the screens are “side by side” and that you have to drag your graphics program off the side of your computer screen and onto the tablet screen.

I am having a wonderful time getting lost in creativity on this pen display. This is my first pen display, I was considering more expensive ones, but I am really glad that I choose this one.In my review searches across all pen displays that I considered, the biggest issue seemed to be driver issues. Basically, no graphics tablet will work properly if you have the driver from another one still on the computer. I'm computer savvy enough to have sorted that out, as I had a Bamboo tablet driver installed. The only thing is that every time I log in to my computer it asks for permission which I say no to because the Huion app doesn't seem to work else, which seems the wrong way around. It causes me no issues and I will investigate it at some point and see if I can get rid of it.The things that made me think of buying a more expensive one were:For higher definitionHigher colour accuracyPen tiltHigher overall quality and functionalityI was worried that I would start using it and get distracted by pixelation, I don't at all. I don't see individual pixels but I know that if it were higher definition then it would look nicer. As it is attached to my laptop I also see it on my 4k laptop screen. It doesn't make enough difference to justify that kind of extra spending.Colour accuracy is something that doesn't worry me too much. I have Nvidia GeForce 1080 and I notice that the laptop screen colours compared to the 221 Pro colours are very different. I haven't really given much time to sorting that out yet (if I can), but I will try. At the worst I can refer to the laptop screen for colours.Having pen tilt would have been a nice feature but it is far far from essential.I thought that it would lack some kind of quality, but it does not. Huion obviously have a very high standard, which shows in the quality of everything from the screen to packaging.I love the quick keys, I am really able to keep a very productive flow going with this.I will update this when I have longer with it.It gets five stars, because although no pen display is perfect, this is VERY good for the money. You can really make the highest quality images on this, there is nothing stopping you!Thank you Huion for getting back to me on all my questions.

I worked with this product for a few months and had several problems.After 3 months, the pencil stopped charging the battery, so I got in touch with Huion. The customer service was really bad and inefficient and I had to pay to send me a new pen.After 6 months approx. I started having problems with the sensitivity of the screen so after talking with Huion and not getting solutions I decided to contact Amazon and return the product.

Really great drawing tablet, setup was fast and easy, very impressed with quality, definitely worth it, mounts on ergotron arm without requiring any extra parts, works fantastically with a variety of programs, easy options to adjust display settings makes the colours pure and rich, really excited to continue using it!

Bought this for my daughter who's doing a 3D animation course and she loves it. Cheaper than the Wacom Cintiq equivalent and just as easy to use.

Bought the Kamvas GT221 When it Came out and the pens don't work the screen has heavy parallax I wasted a Good £600 plus on a Chinese subpar equivalent to the WACOM. PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY A WACOM INSTEAD. ITS EXPENSIVE? YES BUT YOU GET GREAT VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY!!!!
