PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING!

I hate to see this product suffer due to customer error. This is a truly amazing product and these reviews are just completely unfair. I've been using Huion h610pro for 5 years, but it finally broke a few weeks ago. I've wanted a screen tablet for a long time but I don't have the funds or space for an expensive $600 tablet and it seemed like the perfect purchase. When I opened the box with the tablet, everything seemed normal. Connecting the tablet cables was quite difficult, but I figured it out completely in just 10 minutes. I installed the drivers and thought everything was fine. However, when I started using a tablet with a stylus, it didn't work. The screen was on but not responding to the pen. I clicked on the driver app and saw everything was grayed out. I uninstalled and reloaded the driver 4 times before realizing the problem. The HDMI and USB cables were not fully connected. This seems to be a common problem with people saying drivers aren't working, and I wish people would just...use their common sense and look into the Gaomon help center instead of saying it's buggy. . The drivers work. I promise you. This product does not come with a stand so I would suggest either using it on a tablet (which works best for me) or buying a decent sized computer stand if you need one. This is NOT a standalone item. Please DO NOT give this product a bad review just because you don't know how graphics tablets work. It doesn't include any drawing/illustration tool (like Sai, Clip Studio...) and I don't understand why it's needed. If that's what you want, spend $1,000 on an iPad Pro. The tablet itself is quite compact - it packs easily. However, there are 3 long cables to contend with. The tablet's HDMI and USB plug-ins are on the right, while my computer's plug-ins are on the left. If I were left-handed it wouldn't be a problem as I could just turn the tablet over. However, for me as a right-hander, this means that 2 very thick cords rest against my leg while I plan to sit at the table. However, I have 2 disadvantages. color correction. It took 20 minutes to get the color match on my computer. The menu settings were initially quite difficult to figure out. collaboration monitor. I don't know, maybe I'm just doing it wrong, but the grip is always fair. A little off. It's not that big of a deal - I can deal with it, but it can be quite annoying, especially in small areas.

Pros
  • FOR SUMMARY AND SIGNATURE
Cons
  • I don't have much to complain about, everything is fine
