Customers are dissatisfied with the color of the graphic tablet. They say that the colors are weirdly washed out, and require a minor amount of color adjusting.

Customers also mention that there is absolutely no way to adjust the clarity of the screen on the device itself, and the back of it causes rainbow like distortions to appear.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've been wanting a Drawing tablet with a screen for so long now. I had a Wacom Bamboo and was using that for the longest time to do digital drawings. It would take me hours to get used to the hand eye coordination needed to do anything. This would lead me to leaving my tablet plugged into my computer and not drawing anything. After a while it became harder and harder to go back to digital drawings when I was having a much better time doing physical work.
I was gonna change that by getting a Tablet with a Screen and was Initially gonna go for a WACOM Cintiq DTK1300, cause I thought that was the standard I should get that. But at $800 it was gonna be a long time before I saved up enough to get that. My friend told me there was a review on Youtube for the Huion GT191 and once I watched that I was convinced and said I would give it a shot.
I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED
$300 Less than a 13 inch tablet. this one is 19 inches and its the perfect size of a computer monitor.
That disconnect I had with digitally drawing something is gone. I bought this a month ago and its taken me hours less to Line, Color, Shade, and Shine a drawing. I can complete a drawing in a 1/4 of the time it took me to draw something on my wacom. (this is more to encourage any artists that are wanting to go for a screen tablet and they feel like they are losing touch with digital drawings to go for it.)
This tablet feels fluid, it feels natural to draw the way I want to. The install is a bit finicky but now that I look back on it, it wasn't so bad. (Just follow the instructions as best you can and if all else fails contact their customer service they have been very helpful.)
The pen has to be charged up, which doesn't take long, and the charge holds For...... I dunno how long it hasn't gone out yet.(Mind you I've completed a couple drawings here and there.) (Plus this comes a second pen.) Screen is the perfect size in my opinion, no delayed responses. The program that comes with it to configure the tablet and pen is amazingly simple and effective. The whole thing seems very sturdy and tough (Please don't test by throwing it at something.) I was worried that weight was gonna be a bother to the screen but it has been resilient (Arm weight).
So far the only quick select buttons, are on the pen stylus, two buttons to configure how you want. (Though I have never configured quick select buttons to be honest.)
The stylus pen is awesome, the pressure and sensitivity feels like how much pressure you would use on an actual pen, which can be configured to your preferences of pressure sensitivity.
This has been one of the best purchases I have made, I would have still been waiting to get a Wacom, This is a great Alternative it has all I need no extra features that seem useless or unneeded. I've used Clip Studio Paint and Paint tool Sai and they have both worked perfectly.
Also remember when installing, UNINSTALL YOUR OTHER DRAWING TABLET DRIVERS! I can't stress that enough.
I love this Tablet and I'm glad that there are reliable alternatives, I think I might stick with Huion for some time now.
The Decision:
After hearing about the Wacom Cintiq in 2013, and testing various models of drawing tablets and screens, I knew that one thing meant the most to me: Does it work?
Does the device support what do with my style of art?
Does the device make sense for me to purchase?
In other words, will my experience with the Intous Pro that I have used for so long transfer flawlessly to this new type of device?
Does it fit my budget? Does me using this equipment for my everyday work justify the cost of the device, or do what I have already (Intous Pro in this case) adequate to do my work as a digital painter?
The Crit of the Intous Pro 16 vs Huion GT-191:
I was pleasantly surprised to see alternatives to the much critically acclaimed Wacom Cintiq years down the line in the middle of my research. But I was "comfortable" with what I had, which led me to buying Cintiq Pro 15.6" (or whatever size it is), to which I was very underwhelmed when I saw the low contrast, and oddly enough, the same feel as using the Intous Pro. I guess I was really expecting that grain texture of the surface of the screen, But those things didn't dampen my taste in the device, it was the price. Even for a refurbished model I could not justify the cost for an experience I've had once before for a whooping $1303.45. I returned it.
(There was also a defect in the device that left one of the leds to shine brighter than the rest of the screen)
It wasn't long, but for a concentrated period of time I overhauled on my research into getting not just Huion but Ugee, XP-Pen, and many others and weighed out the benefits of each device.
What was most important to me?
What will I do if this purchase doesn't pan out?
What were other people saying?
Those questions put me over the threshold.
I made the purchase once a saw a repeat review for the same device the Huion GT-221 which I also considered purchasing. With the bad taste left in my mouth by a Wacom fanboy, I decided on this device because it had been out the longest. and therefore much more feedback and support.
Whats the verdict?
Contrast. Even with adjustments in Nvidia Display Adapter, got the colors looking good, but can't quite get those high and low darks you would expect from a normal monitor.
Calibration. A pain at first, but once you determine hand placement for each point you calibrate your pen to where hand lays naturally when you draw, you should be golden.
The Build. Freaking Awesome, no complaints. I'm a 360 lb man drawing on this surface and it does not budge.
HOWEVER:
(Fixed)
The software is EXTREMELY finicky, often times overwriting my pen pressure settings which forces me to unfortunately reinstall the Huion software. After having the device for less than a week and having to do this twice is making it quite tempting to go back to my Intous Pro. JUST SAYING!
I will be contacting Huion over this and I will update this review.
UPDATE 7/3/18:
Three days ago I tried using Adobe Illustrator, and to my horror the pressure sensitivity doesn't work. I've been hearing that there is a temporary fix using an Wacom driver, but I've yet to find out which one, and if its true or not. I've been trying to make contact with Huion, but to no avail. Getting in contact with them is almost like playing a game of cat and mouse unfortunately, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt, I have been contacting them in the wee hours of the night. Unfortunately, this product is moving from 4/5 to 3/5 stars because of it's lack of support over this specific issue that other users are also having. This is an investment, and a company that sells these kinds of products, even as a cheap alternative, need to understand that the user base is paying attention when they don't respond to these kinds of issues with their investment.
UPDATE 7/4/18:
I received a response this morning from Huion, but I was again disappointed by their lack of support for their own product. I was told to run in "administrator mode" and "turn windows ink" off in the pen settings, assign "switch brush" to one of my pen buttons, and update to a new driver, which I already had, which they would've known if they were paying attention to my messages.
UPDATE 7/5/18:
They just got back to me this morning with an updated driver that wasn't available on their website, and that seemed to do the trick. 4/5 stars again.
Conclusion:
(Updated 7/17/18)
My overall user experience/customer service experience with this device has been nothing short of amazing. Aside from a few small hiccups with the driver not working properly with Adobe Illustrator CC, and it being bit of a chore to calibrate the screen with the new driver, I cannot recommend this device more for the artist that wants to break into the drawing monitor scene. I will be giving this a 5/5, because in the end, Huion did reach out to me EVERYTIME I had a problem, and were proactive to solving my issues correctly. My one comment would be for the new 14.5.0 driver to come up with some sort of guide as to get the best results possible without having to reverse engineer the calibration process (see attached link).

After a long time with this machine, I am underwhelmed by the whole drawing tablet experience. I've since now switched to my Intous Pro that I got back in 2013, and I am glad to say I am much happier with the free desk space.
It wasn't a bad experience. It was something that left to be desired with all the re-calibrating until I got that settings that felt just right. Overall it didn't feel natural to me in a confined space like I had, and the screen size and resolution also left something to be desired. My workflow changed, it worked, and then some personal stuff happened to me throughout the year and it felt the setting up to paint became a drudgery instead of an experience I was hoping to get out of this device. It's good for it's purpose, but honestly painting for me was never about the tool, but whatever I could create out of my surroundings.
I still support Huion because Wacom is just too damn expensive for an experience that concentrated more about the technology than what you could get out of it. In other words, the experience a pen tablet could be to someone with different tastes and needs could lead to an epiphany of creative juices to the same man or woman can get out of an pencil an paper.
I really wanted this to work out. But on a side note, I tried the Apple Pencil and Ipad Pro and that to me felt like a better experience.

I made the purchase once a saw a repeat review for the same device the Huion GT-221 which I also considered purchasing. With the bad taste left in my mouth by a Wacom fanboy, I decided on this device because it had been out the longest. and therefore much more feedback and support.
Whats the verdict?
Contrast. Even with adjustments in Nvidia Display Adapter, got the colors looking good, but can't quite get those high and low darks you would expect from a normal monitor.
Calibration. A pain at first, but once you determine hand placement for each point you calibrate your pen to where hand lays naturally when you draw, you should be golden.
The Build. Freaking Awesome, no complaints. I'm a 360 lb man drawing on this surface and it does not budge.
HOWEVER:
(Fixed)
The software is EXTREMELY finicky, often times overwriting my pen pressure settings which forces me to unfortunately reinstall the Huion software. After having the device for less than a week and having to do this twice is making it quite tempting to go back to my Intous Pro. JUST SAYING!
I will be contacting Huion over this and I will update this review.
UPDATE 7/3/18:
Three days ago I tried using Adobe Illustrator, and to my horror the pressure sensitivity doesn't work. I've been hearing that there is a temporary fix using an Wacom driver, but I've yet to find out which one, and if its true or not. I've been trying to make contact with Huion, but to no avail. Getting in contact with them is almost like playing a game of cat and mouse unfortunately, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt, I have been contacting them in the wee hours of the night. Unfortunately, this product is moving from 4/5 to 3/5 stars because of it's lack of support over this specific issue that other users are also having. This is an investment, and a company that sells these kinds of products, even as a cheap alternative, need to understand that the user base is paying attention when they don't respond to these kinds of issues with their investment.
UPDATE 7/4/18:
I received a response this morning from Huion, but I was again disappointed by their lack of support for their own product. I was told to run in "administrator mode" and "turn windows ink" off in the pen settings, assign "switch brush" to one of my pen buttons, and update to a new driver, which I already had, which they would've known if they were paying attention to my messages.
UPDATE 7/5/18:
They just got back to me this morning with an updated driver that wasn't available on their website, and that seemed to do the trick. 4/5 stars again.
Conclusion:
(Updated 7/17/18)
My overall user experience/customer service experience with this device has been nothing short of amazing. Aside from a few small hiccups with the driver not working properly with Adobe Illustrator CC, and it being bit of a chore to calibrate the screen with the new driver, I cannot recommend this device more for the artist that wants to break into the drawing monitor scene. I will be giving this a 5/5, because in the end, Huion did reach out to me EVERYTIME I had a problem, and were proactive to solving my issues correctly. My one comment would be for the new 14.5.0 driver to come up with some sort of guide as to get the best results possible without having to reverse engineer the calibration process (see attached link).

After a long time with this machine, I am underwhelmed by the whole drawing tablet experience. I've since now switched to my Intous Pro that I got back in 2013, and I am glad to say I am much happier with the free desk space.
It wasn't a bad experience. It was something that left to be desired with all the re-calibrating until I got that settings that felt just right. Overall it didn't feel natural to me in a confined space like I had, and the screen size and resolution also left something to be desired. My workflow changed, it worked, and then some personal stuff happened to me throughout the year and it felt the setting up to paint became a drudgery instead of an experience I was hoping to get out of this device. It's good for it's purpose, but honestly painting for me was never about the tool, but whatever I could create out of my surroundings.
I still support Huion because Wacom is just too damn expensive for an experience that concentrated more about the technology than what you could get out of it. In other words, the experience a pen tablet could be to someone with different tastes and needs could lead to an epiphany of creative juices to the same man or woman can get out of an pencil an paper.
I really wanted this to work out. But on a side note, I tried the Apple Pencil and Ipad Pro and that to me felt like a better experience.

Aonde devo reclamar.
Aguardo contato.
As a student begining to learn about digital art and art in general, it really helps to have something like this to completely digitize everything I do, as it allows for the easiest alteration if nessecary. The 8000 levels of pressure is amazing for the price that this is at; if you like sketching lightly before hardlining, this is the best feature about it. And also coupled with a huge screen, it allows you to have it as a second monitor if you aren't even using it for drawing. I'm using it for animating at the moment and it saves me so much time than if i was using an intuos or mouse. Great tablet and image quality for a cheap price!
However, there are a few drawbacks that come with it. There are no buttons on the monitor so you will need a keyboard next to you while working if you have many shortcuts binded, however, this isn't really a problem so much as a downside of being so cheap. Arguably the largest problem would be the paralax. No matter how much you callibrate it, there will always be a displacement between the cursor and the tip of the pen. Through some online research, this seems to be a problem with all screen tablets so, not really a fault of the product.
TL;DR, Great product with very inconsequential downsides!
Faltou suporte do Fabricante!
