I've been using the Huion GT191 for ….4 years? Maybe more. It was a risky buy for me because, who the heck was this? It's not Wacom or whatever. I was using Surface Pro's for a while since they HAD wacom tech before moving to ntrig where it was …bumpy, but alright. Anyway, the 191 was impressive, especially for the price and what the competition had.
I wanted an upgrade since I had some nitpicks with the 191 but never enough that I'd drop hundreds- watched tons of reviews on it and it seemed solid. So, cut to now and it was on sale, so I caved and here we are! I'm typing this up because it impressed me enough after over a week with it that I wanted to give 'em credit.
It's, really impressive, the parallax (distance between the pen tip & the actual screen/the accuracy of the pen) is non-extent basically. Where the tip is, is where the pen draws, it's….SO nice to have.
The color accuracy & range is much, much nicer on this vs the 191. While the 191 was alright, this is in another league, as is the response time so there's less image ghosting and what not. So if you wanted to use this for drawing but also watch a movie on it or game? It'd do well.
The glass has some kinda light texture to it, which makes it feel more like paper & reduces glare a bit. I like this approach better than making the pen tip rubberized since that just makes strokes feeling like a drag.
I really can't say enough about the actual monitor itself, it's solid. You will have to adjust some of the colors/brightness yourself but that's not too hard honestly.
It's 1080p which might annoy some? I honestly used the nvidia control panel to super sample the resolution to 1440p and while it's obviously not TRUE 1440p, it helps make the interface much smaller on your software. (even if you don't have this tablet you might want to consider it if the display is big enough!)
The pen feels much better, no battery (Finally!) and with a nice rubber grip to make it more comfortable. It's also nice and light which some people don't like because "it lacks a premium feel" which, IDK put a lead weight on it and call it a day- in my opinion: pens should be light so the weight doesn't become an issue over HOURS of drawing. I don't get this obsession people have with a weighty feel with some stuff.
The pen draws really well with an excellent pressure curve that you can adjust in the driver, it's activation force is nice n' low and it's got tilt, "But how's the weight?"
It has tilt which, I haven't been able to test becaaaaaause none of my brushes actually have that set up, so I can't comment there unfortunately.
The activation force feels much lighter on this than my last tablet, you can be really, really light handed with drawing and it's super nice. Feels great to draw with.
The set up is pretty easy, slap the stand on it or it to a monitor arm then hook up the HDMI & USB cable, plug in the power brick to their 3-in-1 cable- to the monitor. Install the drivers from the website, hit ctrl+alt+H to bring them up to bring up the tablet interface, make sure it's set to work on the right monitor, boom done.
I absolutely recommend this tablet, it's far less expensive than the competition and it doesn't feel like your sacrificing anything.
