Wacom or Huion?
I originally had a Wacom Intuos Pro Small that I absolutely loved but it now seems it won't ever be returned (don't ask). Went on to Amazon to purchase another one and simply typed "Wacom" figuring it would lead me straight to it. Now I'm seeing options for Huion on tablets, which I've honestly never heard of. I trust Wacom and it never failed me, but I'm also concerned about cost and Huion has great deals. Anyone familiar with it and can give me advice on whether I should stick with what I know, or venture out and try something new? It's greatly appreciated.

Here's an expensive model: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/ … ctive.html On the Huion in reviews it is regarded as good but not as good as Wacom. Dec 17 18 09:01 am Link I've got the Huion thing. Not impressed by it at all, and haven't used it much since buying it two years ago. When tilted as an artist easel, the cords exit the bottom and it's sort of messy dealing with that part. Needs better legs for tilting. The glass screen is far enough away from the actual color pixel part where drawing on it is sort of like painting through a one inch glass. You have to look straight down into it, then that gets back into the angle thing and bad cord placement above. I don't know what the color screen is, but it might not even be sRGB 100% either. Minimal buttons to control on it so you have to go back to a keyboard with a computer so it takes up a lot of real estate to operate it. When I use it along with an Eizo CG 4K monitor, the paralleling of the two causes the HDMI signal to become weak so the Huion gets these "marching ants" around some colors, especially blue. I tried using an amplifier for the dual HDMI but the Huion is stubborn. Feeding a signal into it may or may not work as planned. Personally, if I were to do it again I'd get the Wacom with the OS built into it so it can run as a standalone. Huion hasn't upgraded the thing since I bought it as far as the drivers go either. I think it is just a cheap knock-off that really wasn't fully thought out. Dec 17 18 09:22 am Link I would stick with Wacom and avoid dealing with Spamamazon to not end up with a fake fraud product Use trusted vendors like BH or Wacom direct https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?c … 4005352859 Wacom Store https://us-store.wacom.com/catalog/pen- … com-intuos Best Buy as last resort https://www.bestbuy.com/site/computer-a … cat0513006 Dec 17 18 09:47 am Link Wacom. Dec 17 18 11:12 am Link Definitely stay with Wacom! Dec 17 18 04:32 pm Link Wacom all the way. Had mine for over 10 years, still works perfect. Dec 18 18 03:54 pm Link I changed wacom intuos to huion g10t. No regrets. I think Huion take positions Dec 18 18 10:45 pm Link I went with the Wacom Dec 21 18 02:32 pm Link I have used a couple off brands that served me just fine. I wear cable connectors out on wacom the same way I do off brand models. I guess it depends how many features you use. I use basic tablet functions so I am not real picky. I prefer a none battery operated stylus. Dec 27 18 11:05 am Link |
