This upgrade from the Huion Kamvas Pro 13 (circa 2018) might seem minor, but the 2.5K comparison to 1080P is noticeable on a 13-inch screen. The Huion Kamvas Pro 13 (2.5K) sports a QLED screen - meaning brighter colours all round, and the screen certainly does 'pop'. It's a refresh that makes this drawing tablet one of the best around.
The Kamvas range by Huion are what are known as 'pen displays', meaning you draw directly onto the screen. It's not a standalone device like an iPad, as it needs to be connected to a PC, Mac or Android device in order to work. These connected devices run the apps, the tablet gets you closer to the art.
On paper the Huion Kamvas Pro 13 (2.5K) looks very good indeed. It's commonly agreed that Huion does a good line in affordable and goodquality drawing tablets. These are definitely not high-end, though more than serviceable for newcomers or anyone looking for value for money. With that in mind, let's have a closer look to see if it lives up to the hype.
USABILITY
As already stated, this is not a highend unit, so the slightly plasticky nature of the tablet and all its 'bits' is of no surprise. Don't expect lush pen holders or silk gloves. Pen, holder, glove, nibs (5x regular and 5x felt), and wires (galore) are all standard and feel and look similar to what's provided with a fair few other Huion tablets. What is a nice surprise here though is the addition of a stand, so you can place the tablet anywhere between 20-60 degrees.
Historically, for me, setting up a pen display is almost always a huge pain. Not so here. Everything seemed to just work, as soon as I'd downloaded and installed the driver, and switched it on. This is a very user-friendly setup that is easy to use out of the box, which is a huge plus.
