Great screen tablet: full time Illustrator use
I've been through various tablets mostly from wacom and monoprice in my career. This is my first Huion tablet and honestly it's I've one of the best Ive had. I've had this tablet now for 4 coming on 5 years. This tablet gets heavy use (9+ hours a day of active drawing time) I'm only recently seeing a fading pixel spot no larger than the size of a cut pinky nail so it's not much. Holding up super well. Make sure you keep up with updates through Huion's website as any digital artist knows that pc updates of all sorts can create problems with the tablet software if not upkept. Overall a great purchase. Planning on buying another one to keep on the side for when the current one kicks out.

Worth every penny
At first I was a bit worried that this wouldn't stand up to the latest and greatest cintiqs, but after using it...my worries were unwarranted. No dead pixels. Works great, and it's only half the price.This tablet is gigantic. People are saying to get some kind of ergo arm. But if you have a desk, you won't need it. I can draw just fine on this thing with the default back support. In fact, this thing is way lighter and much more user friendly/maneuverable than my old cintiq's. Meaning that the cables are not keeping you from getting the perfect angle or keeping you from drawing/getting in the way, like the cintiq's I've had.My disappointments were a bit of parallax, which appears in all of the tablets I've owned, so nothing out of the ordinary there. Also, the colors are a bit washed out, and the blacks are not really black. But that's probably because I'm using it next to my monitor which has colors I'm used to....but the monitor definitely has blacker blacks than the Huion kamvas 22. Not really a deal breaker though, you don't even notice it once you start. Wacom products have this same problem as well.The un-powered pen is definitely godsend if you hate charging stuff. It's as responsive and robust as the cintiq's, except for one thing...it doesn't have an eraser. That kinda sucks that you can't just flip the pen around and erase like the cintiq's. You get used to it though.The sensitivity is simply amazing on this thing though. And the side buttons are TO DIE FOR. So damn helpful! You can customize them to your liking. Unfortunately the right buttons are hard-wired to the left buttons, so they do the same thing no matter what side you press. But I guess it's for unification between left and right handers.Lastly, the setup was super easy, love how easy it was. My only complaint about the setup though, is that the HDMI cable is like only 3 feet long. Same as the usb cable. You have no freedom with 3 feet. So if you plan on getting this, definitely buy usb and hdmi extension cables, or just replace with longer ones.All in all, the complaints aren't a deal breaker for the price. Hell, the cintiqs I've had in the past also had a lot of the same issues. Once again, worth every penny.

Was disappointed at issues. Excellent Customer service solved it.
(( - EDIT - ))After my initial complaint. Huion and Amazon reached out to me. Their customer service was very very good. They were kind an understanding. And gave me many options to eradicate the issues I had. After troubleshooting for some time. I was able to get the tablet to work properly.What I have noticed is that the software is a bit tricky. The tablet itself, the screen, the quality, the design. All of that is fine. However, it seems like it takes a lot of playing around to get it to work exactly the way you want it to. My issues were less of a problem with the tablet. And more about the software acting up. It takes time and troubleshooting to fix. But, my issues are not of the norm.When you install the driver. Be 100% sure you dont have any other tablet driver. And restart your computer after the initial download. It might take a few times of installing and uninstalling. But, for the price (Comparing to Wacom). I think the toggling is worth it.I would recommend this tablet to anyone looking for an affordable screen tablet. If things go wrong. Be assured that Amazon and Huion do have your back. And will help you eradicate your issues. For this reason, I am changing the review to 4 stars. I nor longer regret buying the tablet. And I am happy to change the review to something more deserving.-------My previous Wacom tablet bit the dust. And people said that Huion might be a better alternative to Wacom screen tablets. (As Wacom screen tablets are pretty costly.) A lot of excellent reviews were left on this tablet and their other ones. So I thought I would give this company a try.I bought this thinking that $900 would get me a tablet that functions well and would last years. However, I was wrong. After a painfully lengthy driver installation. At first things were great. But then the tablet has devolved into not even being usable for illustration/sketching. The screen is nice, The tablet looks good. I love the look. Working on a large screen is amazing. But there are major issues that prevent me from using this tablet like a normal one.CONS:1. 9 out of 10 times, I have to open up the tablet driver and calibrate the screen every single time I plug it in for it to work. Otherwise, the tablet acts like a screenless tablet. And you cant draw or interact with the screen. This is not a plug and play tablet after the first installation. Having to set it up every time I plugged it in is highly irritable. But that was only a minor annoyance. I was willing to deal with that. If thats the only problem2. Forget about multitasking. I bought a BRAND NEW Macbook pro that I beefed up specs wise. So I know it should be able to handle another screen. But this tablet has a mental breakdown every time I play videos on my computer screen. For one, the strokes are slowed down so much. That it takes 3 seconds to load a stroke. And 3 seconds might not sound like a lot. But when you are sketching. You make hundreds of them and quick. This issue dramatically slows the drawing process. And forces me to be unable to run any videos/music at the same time. Because, for some reason. The tablet becomes painfully slow when there are other things running. And no. recalibration does not fix this. The only way for me to "fix" it is to not run any videos at the same time. Im an artist that follows tutorials on real time. And the fact I have to stop the video every time I want to take a step is very frustrating.3. The strokes leaves "Trails ". This is the straw that broke the camel's back for me. When you are sketching. You make a lot of fast strokes. But even slow ones have this issue. if I try to draw a curve in the shape of a C. It will always leave an extra long line in the direction of the stroke. It literally forces you to have to stop, and erase the trail for EVERY stroke. To make the curve look like what it is suppose to. This might sound bad. But it literally ruins and slows down your drawing process so badly that unless you take the time to erase the 'trails' . Your picture will look NOTHING like it was intended.For $900. This tablet was not worth the money. Ive only had it for 2 months and the problem keeps escalating more and more with time. So I havent touched my tablet and drawn digitally in days because of this. Im a professional artist. And this has done nothing but hurt my business and work. Everyone said it was an amazing deal compared to Wacom. Its just a shame. Because my Intuos tablet was a third of this price. Yet, it preformed perfectly for 5 years. And this $900 tablet didnt even last me two months before becoming unusable.Maybe not all of their tablets are like this. But based off of my experience? I would not recommend this product whatsoever. Heck, if this is the norm for their screen tablets. I wouldnt waste my time and money with any of their screen tablets. This was suppose to be Huion's best tablet. Thats why I went for this one. I thought buying their best would ensure a long term high quality experience. I thought that screen tablets were an upgrade from normal drawing tablets. However, this is not the case.Disappointed doesnt even scratch the surface of how I feel. For now, this rating will stay at 2 stars. But if Huion does get back to me. And it turns out to just be defected. The rating will change to 4 1/2 stars.
