Huion Kamvas Pro 19

TABLET WARS An attractive pen display does an excellent job of balancing price and performance as it sets out to challenge its rivals in the mobile marketplace

The new Huion Kamvas Pro 19 is the latest drawing tablet pen display to offer more for less. The world of pen displays has blossomed in recent years from the time when there was really only one option: Wacom. Now the competition is fiercer than ever, which is good for users, as it brings greater choice, more competitive pricing, and you should be able to find something that suits your needs and budget.

Everything about the Kamvas pro 19 is solidly built. It has good quality cables, the pen case - which doubles as a stand for both pens - is nicely weighted and feels secure.

The stylus pens feel good, although the back half, while it does work well as an eraser, feels a little cheaper.

That said, the nibs are fantastic and no special tool is needed to swap them.

You get a set of harder nibs in the case, along with more felt-tip like nibs, which we much preferred. Both nibs perform well and have more levels of pressure sensitivity than you'll ever be able to tell (16,384 levels) and a resolution of 5,080 lines per inch (LPI).

More than enough, and comparable to rival brand XPPen.
