I currently use a Huion tablet. https://www.amazon.com/H610-Pro-Gra...../dp/B00ZWRSQ4I

Been using it for about 2 years or so and the only thing I had to recently replace was the pen because it stop charging.

Huion is a great company. My husband replaced his old Yiynova with one and he loves it. Great quality, and the pen just plugs in to charge.

huion.....my experience with them is, bittersweet.

i have an amazing 16# drawing tablet, it's a real warhorse. amazing. then, based upon that amazing experience, i bought a 22" drawing screen.....monoprice (monoprice, huion and all those chinese brands are basically the same thing, with a different name, the same parts and pieces, with a different name, that must be your first alert sign.) the screen came with mac only drivers on the cd included.....ok, no prob, i can go to the site and get the latest update and drivers anyway, right? WRONG.

i was never able to use the screen properly. i am not saying it's a bad product....but, it came unusable, since the drivers are not included, and their online customer service is nonexistant, the users manual is a confusing mess and the isntallation process is the worst thing ever. a colossal fail.

if you want to buy a drawing screen, MY ADVICE IS , stay away from huion, monoprice or similars, wacom IS THE BEST OPTION, but i know....too much money. therefore, i can recommend you other options, the microsoft surface, the lenovo yogabook, even the ipad pro, again, i know, expensive.....but, the huion screens, are cheap for a reason.

again, that was MY EXPERIENCE. but, i am sure is not the only one. save some extra money, and buy a product that will last, with real customer service, and available drivers. again, my advice

I don't know where you heard that Monoprice is the same thing as Huion, but they aren't. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews for Monoprice, but I've only heard good with Huion.

what i meant was, they use the same components. and some prodcuts even share the same look and specs. maybe not the same brand. but, yeah, they share many components and designs. apparently, huion is the good brand of the bunch. but again.....it was my eprsonal experience.

There are new Huion tablets that DO NOT require battery pens, like the KAMVAS PRO 20

I haven't used Huion tablets or pen displays, so I don't have an honest answer for them, but I hear good things. However, if you want a ritzy 4K resolution tablet, the only people that provide that are Wacom with their Cintiq Pro 16, 24, and 32. I have the Cintiq Pro 24 and must say.... it's a dream to draw on. However, my reference point is limited, because it was my first graphic display, and used tablets years before that.

If you want to do lots of research on tons of displays and tablets, Brad Colbow on youtube reviews a TON of them from an artist's perspective. I HIGHLY recommend you check him out.

How 'bout the XP-Pen Artist22E? Here

I have a Wacom Cintiq Pro 13 and it was disappointing, not as precise as I'd hoped no matter how I calibrate. And significant lag between the movement and the cursor moving.

Consider the iPad with the Apple Pencil, tried on a Procreate demo and it felt snappier.
And I see a lot of artists swearing by the iPad pro and it's 120hz screen and pencil.

Look into it, try to see if a local Apple store has units you could test for yourself.

Are you sure the lag doesn't have anything to do with computer performance? This is generally a symptom of that. What are your specs? Processor, ram, etc.

I'd run a tablet on a Macbook Pro and would be OK... but would hit lag much earlier than my beast battlestation PC. Hardware performance is KEY when running a tablet, and especially displays.

It's not that kind of lag I mean, affect the cursor speed without drawing.
It's likely just poor monitor response time on top of whatever tiny digitizer delay there is.

I have a Cintiq 13hd and it is very good, though the drivers are a pain, best to find one that works and never update it.
From the reviews of Huions screen displays I've seen they usually all have the same problem, which is a screen gap between the pen the display, and bad drivers with little to no customer service support.
Sometimes though, you can find deals on refurbished wacom screen displays

Good luck

I recommend the Artisul D16.

Pros:

- Almost no latency
- Extremely smooth drawing experience (a lot of Chinese drawing tablets have an issue with smoothness)
- Vibrant screen with near accurate colors
- Hot keys with a wacom-style selection wheel.
- Battery-free Pen.
- Very well built.

Cons:

- It has some slight parallax issues, especially near the corners. (This is an issue with Wacom products too)
- Driver likes to crap out more then I would like (meaning I have restart my system more then I used to)
- Compatibility isn't the best. (I have to use Lazy Nezumi to fix a position issue in Photoshop. Doesn't work with Mudbox at all)

However, it does work with MOST programs perfectly fine.

It is as close to Wacom as you can get below $1000.

I have had mine since June and I love it.
