Marrying traditional art tools with modern technology, the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 23.8″ Pen Display offers amateur and pro painters, illustrators, graphic designers, and image editors alike a familiar way to create in the digital realm. The 23.8″ 2.5K 2560 x 1440 QHD resolution display gives you a large canvas with which to work and a responsive PW517 digital pen as your tool. The screen is fully laminated with anti-glare etched glass, so you can enjoy a natural writing/drawing surface that minimizes parallax and mimics the pen-on-paper feel.
The PW517 pen takes advantage of digital technology to also mimic real world objects, with a similar weight (0.5 oz) and shape of an ordinary pen. Utilizing a combination of PenTech 3.0, over 220 pps (points per second), and 8192 pressure sensitivity levels, the digital pen is made to deliver natural line widths and shapes based on pressure and angle with no latency. The Kamvas Pro 24 can provide all of this to artists using Windows or macOS computers with either a DisplayPort, HDMI, or VGA output, and with popular graphics programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Painter, SAI, GIMP, and more.

This is my first large screen tablet. I also have an iPad Pro and have been using Wacom Intuos tablets for the last 10 years. This tablet is awesome and everything I’ve wanted (I was considering a Wacom Cintiq or another Huion Kamvas tablet for a few months and looked at every review I could find before settling on this particular model). I use it with an M1 MacBook Pro via the USB-C to USB-C cable which is extremely convenient, since my laptop doesn’t have many ports and no USB-A port. Since the tablet is so large it also needs to be plugged into a wall outlet via the provided power brick to work. Pros: – Large! I can see so much of my software interface + the drawing itself. I even use this instead of my external monitor now. – Great pressure sensitivity and tilt recognition. The pen seems cheaper made than Wacom but I got used to it extremely quickly and the drawing experience is just as good as Wacom or my Apple Pencil. – Display quality. This isn’t Huion’s best display (that’s their 4K) but this display is 2.5k HD and honestly I couldn’t want anything more. Everything is sharp and crisp and looks GREAT. Cons: – The size is a blessing and a curse. It’s such a large tablet that it takes up a large chunk of my desk even when I put the stand to its flattest setting. Also really heavy and not even remotely portable. – Short cord. The included USB-C to USB-C wire is very short. It works with my current desk set up but I will be buying Huion’s 2m version of the cord soon. – No shortcut keys. Kamvas Pros usually have some keys built in on the tablet, but this line up doesn’t have any. I bought the Huion Mini Key Dial as well which solved all of those issues. Overall, definitely recommend! I don’t see the point in buying a Wacom over this Huion as the quality is just as good. Perhaps you may only want to consider Wacom if you want a 4k tablet or an even larger one (since I don’t think Huion goes above 24 inches).
