Review on HUION Full Laminated Battery Free Pressure 23 8Inch by Daniel Shivashankar

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Wakom who? Excellent value for money and quality!

I've had a Wacom Intous Pro for a few years, but I've always wanted a good pen display with at least 2K resolution. The Wacom Cintiq 24 costs nearly $2,000, but I couldn't justify spending that much money, and previous Huion interactive displays just didn't have the resolution I wanted. So far! Having tried the well-known Wacom Cintiq in the past, I would say that you pay $1,000 less with the Huion but get 90-95% functionality. The build quality and screen of the Huion 24 Plus are very good, but that's one thing. one of the very few places where the Cintiq is still slightly ahead. The Cintiq is built very solidly, like a tank. That doesn't mean Huion is bad, it's just a notch or two down. The etched glass screen is very good and provides enough stability when drawing. The pen is responsive and the tracking is just right for me. I mainly use Photoshop and Painter and haven't encountered any problems so far. Things like the Windows/Mac UI are big enough to be usable, it generally defeats the purpose except for gaming. So I went with the 24 Plus and the 2K display. Works at 100% scaling and has no problems with UI elements that are too small. minuses. Well, if you just want to use the USB-C video port, the included USB-C cable is very short. If you want to go, grab a long USB-C or Thunderbolt cable. Just make sure the cable is a full-featured USB-C video and data cable. In my case, I use a 2m Thunderbolt cable with no problem. If you're using the other DVI-to-USB cable that's also included, you'll probably be fine. This is for Wacom users only, but the pen doesn't have an "eraser" tip on the end, so you can't flip the pen over to erase. The default pen maps the eraser to the first side button, then right-clicks the second. In Photoshop, if you use a brush and hold down the eraser button, you get an eraser, and when you release the button it switches back to the brush or the previous tool so you can bypass that. After a few days I got used to it.

Pros
  • Easy connection
Cons
  • I won't say anything
