About the Product

The GT-220 V2 is Huion's latest version of its GT-220 pen display, with the main new addition being over 8,000 levels of pressure sensitivity from its new pen, which has a soft touch rubber coating but remains rechargeable. The pen is included with the graphics tablet. The pen is the main interface between the user and the tablet, so how the tool feels in the hand is critical to the experience. Huion delivers with a lightweight yet sturdy stylus, the nibs of which are hard, but not to the point of losing good feedback levels.

This is a new generation of desktop-level professional drawing display, which can greatly improve your work efficiency of painting and creation, and full of fun. You can freely painting and writing, depicting different lines and colors, just as the pen writes on the paper, which brings you a real shock experience.

What customers say about "Key Specs"

Huion GT-220 v2 IPS Graphics Drawing Monitor 21.5 Inch

Outstanding tablet. Pressure sensitivity is wonderful.
The pen has a great range on pressure so you can go super thin to full on heavy strokes. The screen protector works OK.
The pen pressure needs adjusting after the initial install, but once you get it down, it's buttery smooth.
Tiny bit of lag between screen and pen. It's hardly noticeable really. Especially if you've used any other tablet besides a Cintiq since it's not uncommon. But still frustrating.
The pressure sensitivity would just disappear while I was drawing something.

Huion KAMVAS GT-221 Pro HD Pen Display Drawing Monitor

I love the pen and the way it works precisely in terms of pressure sensitivity (plus no battery).
The perfect screen size of 21.5 inch (same as Cintiq 22HD). Awesome and responsive stylus.
The pen is incredibly sensitive and the stand is stable and can be set for optimal ergonomics. A rock solid work platform.
Pen a little awkward for lower Pressure: unfortunately lower levels not accurate.
No matter how I adjust the sensitivity settings, it's hard to draw accurate light, small/thin strokes of small areas (like 1-5px brush sizes) with this pen.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

Huion GT-220 v2 IPS Graphics Drawing Monitor 21.5 Inch

It's the perfect size for drawing in my set up and already I've noticed huge improvement in my art.
The size and quality of this tablet more than makes up for the price as compared to a cintiq 13hd which is super small with a huge useless border and twice the price!
It's a nice sleek size, the pen battery has lasted since i charged it once a month ago, does everything i need it to.
The size makes detail work much easier, and I've yet to have any issues with colors.
The tablet took up a lot of space on my desk. I wasn't able to reach my keyboard which I needed to use for hotkeys.

Huion KAMVAS GT-221 Pro HD Pen Display Drawing Monitor

For a display tablet at its monster size I'd say it's a steal, better than buying a cintiq for more than double the prize for the same size.
I am loving this tablet so far! It's pretty light weight, very easy to set up, and comes with everything you need and more!
It goes smoother than the older cintiqs, it weights about 10 times less, it has more working space and the pen is perfect for the hand.
Wow. I cannot be more please with this! Surprisingly light weight. Excellent color. Great sensitivity.
It's light enough to move around with ease. It is bigger than I imagined, and I wasn't sure I would like this big of a tablet, but I really do!

What customers say about "Display Parameters"

Huion GT-220 v2 IPS Graphics Drawing Monitor 21.5 Inch

Resolution is actually better than the Cintiq, I believe, but don't hold me to that.
It's a very affordable and easy to use tablet, the resolution is great, and the pen works flawlessly.
Colors appear as vibrant or accurate on the tablet as on a regular monitor.
Resolution doesn't really bother me, but if you zoom, your image may look pixelated due to the sheer size of this thing.
One problem is resolution choices. The only equivalent to 16:9 resolution is 1600 x 900 (PC), and it's nowhere as crisp as using the native 1080p option.

Huion KAMVAS GT-221 Pro HD Pen Display Drawing Monitor

The screen is smooth and doesn't hurt my eyes even after 6hrs of use.
It does feel better than a smaller screen, and works better as a third monitor than a smaller screen would, too!
I actually quite like the screen! While it may not be as sharp or vibrant as some screens I've seen, I actually quite like the matte texture.
The screen IS matte so color will be a tad washed out but as long as you have a different display then there's nothing photoshop cant fix.
The picture is a bit deceiving. The colors are not as bright as it shows and color calibration is long and frustratin.

What customers say about "Features"

Huion GT-220 v2 IPS Graphics Drawing Monitor 21.5 Inch

The screen protector, I love (never took it off), the stand is very sturdy, and it comes packaged safely.
Thin border between screen and actual edge of the tablet. So you're actually paying for the enormous screen, not a giant tablet with a tiny screen in the middle.
Very stable and secure stand, easy to adjust, good locking mechanism, many angles.
The only problem was that screen protector made the screen underneath look kind of blurry. If you removed it, the screen was pretty crisp!
No shortcut buttons on the sides. Not counting this as a pro or con because I never use shortcut buttons, I just use my keyboard for shortcuts.

Huion KAMVAS GT-221 Pro HD Pen Display Drawing Monitor

Setup was a breeze. Turn the tablet on, install the driver, restart your computer, calibrate the pen, and start drawing.
The pen is a good size, and I love that this comes with an extra pen and the protective glove!
The stand is very solid. I will likely put my Kamvas on a monitor arm so I can draw standing up like I could previously.
The glove included is pretty nice, I hadnt used these digital drawing sort of half gloves before but they ease the side of your palm against the display so you can long uninterrupted strokes.
Pen stand - built in stand is difficult to see, would love a clip or something to put the pen on the top or sides of the display.
