Description:
With its massive drawing area and vibrant colors, the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3 has converted me to the joys of huge drawing tablets.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3 review: one-minute review The Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3
is a large-scale drawing tablet that as the name implies is designed firmly with the experienced artist in mind. However, Id argue that if youre an enthusiastic amateur who's looking to create art on a much larger scale, then its attractively priced enough to be worth considering, too. Its safe to say that the Kamvas Pro 24 is a bit of a beast Im tempted to call it "big" but the word "hulking" keeps coming to mind. At its size, youre unlikely to be moving it around much, but its huge 4K 24-inch screen does deliver a huge art board to sketch on, even if its 185ppi pixel density doesnt quite hit the microscopic precision of some of the smaller-screened tablets Ive tested. Meanwhile, its built-in legs allow you to prop it up at an ergonomic angle, although Id love it if it had a few discrete height settings. Performance is impressive, too. Thanks to its expansive color gamut, the Huion Kamvas Pro shows off any artwork with the same level of vibrancy seen on many of the
best drawing tablets . Not only does it avoid any trace of parallax or
jitter, its capable of extreme tilt angles, plus its pressure sensitivity appears super accurate, even if Id argue its 16K pressure levels dont offer any palpable improvement over 8K . In addition, its driver software allows
you to tweak a significant range of options, from pressure curves to
assigning shortcuts to those concentric dials on its remote.

Huions styluses are also decent, although I wouldnt say they stand out over and above their nearest rivals. I found both the Slim Pen PW600S and chunkier Pen PW600 comfortable to use over long drawing sessions, although neither displayed the same pitch-perfect balance as those offered by the XP-Pen. They do offer eraser shortcuts on their tips, though as a perennial bumbler, the ability to quickly nix my mistakes is one of my must-have features.

Looking at the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3 as a complete package then, it's
easy to recommend. What you lose in portability compared to smaller options, you gain in that epic sketching space. Its capable of impressive precision
and its color gamut means every hue positively glows on its screen. Moreover, its $1,399 / 1,299 / AU$1,999 price is competitive, coming in cheaper than rival Xencelabs' slate, although marginally more expensive than its nearest XP-Pen equivalent. All told, I think youre unlikely to be disappointed with this purchase.

and availability Launched on October 17, 2025 List price of $1,399 / 1,299 / AU$1,999 Having launched on October 17, 2025, the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3
is available now, for $1,399 / 1,299 / AU$1,999. To put that in a wider context, thats cheaper than the Xencelabs Pen Display 24 reduced from a list price of $1,899 / 1,850 (around $2,725) to $1,749 / 1,699 (around AU$2,725), but more than the XP-Pen Artist Pro 24 (Gen2) 4K, which has dropped down from a list price of $1,299.99 / 1,199 / AU$1,899.99 to $1,039.99 / 1,079 / AU$1,424.99. As such, the Huion slate sits firmly in the middle of the pack
of the largest tablets for price.

But what does that spend net you? In addition to the tablet itself, you get the Huion Keydial Remote, all the cabling you could require (including HDMI and USB-C / USB connections), both the Pen PW600 and Slim Pen PW600S
styluses, and a pen box. Theres no case or bag included, while its stand is built in. Unusually, though, it also includes a G1 Colorimeter for calibration, which is a nice touch for professional artists and designers.

(Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) (Image credit: Future / Josh Russell) Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3 review: Design Huge 24-inch 4K screen Good range of accessories Lower 185ppi pixel density than some smaller slates The first thing youre likely to notice about the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3 is its size. As the name suggests, its screen is a colossal 24 inches very few drawing tablets exceed this
size, apart from Wacoms colossal Cintiq Pro 27. And while Ive previously stated that I prefer 16-inch models for the flexibility and portability of their size, the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3 has gone a long way towards convincing me that I might have been wrong.

Having such an enormous canvas provides the freedom to hone fine details
while still being able to see them in the context of the wider piece.
However, since it offers a 4K resolution, the Kamvas Pro 24's pixel density
of 185ppi is actually lower than some drawing tablets it falls shy of the Xencelabs Pen Display 16s 275ppi, for example. Thats the price you pay for
all that extra screen estate, though.

And while we're back to its size, I have to say that I didnt notice the
Huions extra bulk as much as Id thought I would. Part of this is because it requires a more permanent workstation setup than some of its immediate
rivals. Although I loved using Xencelabs drawing tablet while kicking back on the couch, it was abundantly clear from the off that trying to do the same with the Huion model might lead to crush syndrome. Once set up as a workstation, though, the Kavas Pro 24 feels like the beating heart of your sketching setup.

This is definitely helped by the Kamvas Pro 24s ergonomic design. Rather than needing a separate stand, its built-in feet will see it prop up at a comfortable angle of 20 degrees although I cant help but think that a couple of different height settings, so users could select the perfect angle for themselves, would have been better. Case in point: although it has a nice thick inch-wide bezel upon which to rest your wrist while you sketch, I didnt often use it as the angle didnt always feel the most natural for me. (Image credit: Future) Elsewhere, the rest of the sketching experience feels pretty great. The screen is made of Huions lightly etched Canvas Glass 3.0, and
while on a personal level I'd prefer a bit more bite like some paper-like displays exhibit, its neither too slippery nor prone to catching as some
other drawing tablets out there. And when youre using the felt nibs, in particular, theres definitely some tactile feedback as it glides across the screen.

Speaking of, not only does the Huion come with two styluses, one streamlined and one pro, its bundle is crammed with accessories. In addition to a wallet that includes 11 spare nibs, it also comes with all of the cabling you could need USB-C-to-USB-C or HDMI cable and, remarkably, the Huion G1 Colorimeter for calibrating the tablet. Theres no case included, although I suppose thats understandable since this isn't really a very luggable device.

Given this is the kind of tablet that will be permanently stationed on a
desk, I didnt find the cable setup at all onerous. Most of the time, youll need just a USB-C hookup for your laptop and a power cable. Plugging in an HDMI cable for screen recording or using the shortcut remote wired will add
to this but, for the most part, your cable flow will be a basic two-lane
road rather than a massive interchange. Design score: 4.5 / 5 (Image credit: Future / Josh Russell) Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3 review: performance Bold, accurate color Zero parallax or jitter 16K pressure levels offer little benefit over 8K So how does the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3 perform? Honestly, pretty smoothly. Drawing on it felt natural. Shaping arcs with a flick of my wrist was incredibly fluid, making the spiraling nautilus shell I was sketching far easier to shape, without having to spend time tidying up and correcting mistakes my own personal achilles heel when drawing freehand.

But it isn't only with line drawings that the device excels. Once I moved on to coloring in my sketch with orange and peach inks, it became clear that the Huion also offers impressive color performance. Its color gamut includes 99% sRGB, 99% AdobeRGB, 98% DCI-P3 and 98% Display P3 coverage, narrowly edging out tablets such as the Xencelabs Pen Display 16, and meaning its capable of rendering your artwork in sumptuous, vibrant hues.

Obviously, basic issues such as parallax or jitter would be a deal-breaker given the Huion's cost, but Im pleased to report it suffered neither: the brush always seemed to sit precisely below the stylus nib, while any lines drawn were impressively stable, even at high speeds. There was a bit of lag
on occasion when I was laying down a lot of ink at speed but, to be honest,
I blame my aged MacBook Pro here rather than the tablet itself.

While carrying out these line tests, it quickly became clear that the
packaged stylus is capable of some extreme drawing angles. According to
Huion, this tops out at 60 degrees, but I wasnt actually able to find an
angle at which it stops recording an input. Basically, as soon as I could
tilt the stylus enough for the nib to touch the screen, it was able to record the result, which means youll be able to sketch no matter the slant at which youre holding the pen. (Image credit: Future / Josh Russell) On paper, the styluss pressure sensitivity sounds similarly superlative, as its capable of 16K pressure levels. However, in practice, youre unlikely to feel the benefit of this over the 8K what other tablets offer its too granular for the human hand to detect. This was largely borne out in my tests. The curves I was capable of drawing didnt show any smoother gradation of pressure, and while testing sensitivity out in the Huion driver software, I found it hard to maintain a specific pressure level consistently enough for the difference to be beneficial even if it were detectable.

Naturally, the driver software also allows you to customize the pressure sensitivity to more accurately imitate the responsiveness of different mediums. Not only can you choose from five preset pressure curves, but you
can also create your own to tailor how quickly the stylus responds. This allowed me to replicate everything from a rock-hard H pencil to a nice, fluid marker.

You can also use the driver software to customize the shortcuts on Huions fantastic Keydial Remote. Not only do its keys offer an array of handy shortcuts whether thats a keyboard key combo, text input, mouse clicks or tool specific functions but it also features two concentric dials. Being
able to set canvas zoom or brush size to one dial and canvas rotation or
brush rotation to the other delivered a really fluid way to interact with the canvas, without having to switch up the tools I was using.

The shortcut buttons on both styluses are more standard: the Pen PW600 has three and the Slim Pen PW600S has two. The options on offer are incredibly helpful, particularly if youre willing to look up a few of your drawing softwares keyboard shortcut combos. For example, I set them to control Photoshop brush pickup and clean settings, allowing me to quickly alter the mix of pigment on my brush at the tap of a button. Performance score: 5 / 5 (Image credit: Future) Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3 review: stylus Comfortable and responsive Not quite as well balanced as the XP-Pen model Include eraser shortcuts As Ive mentioned above, the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3 comes with
two styluses one chunky and pro, the other slim and refined but whichever you use, youll find it pleasingly ergonomic. Both feel comfortable and
natural in use, even across long sketching sessions for hours at a time. As
is an issue with most styluses, I did occasionally knock their shortcut buttons accidentally; but thats easy to avoid, if youre careful with your grip.

Really my only criticism of Huions styluses is that they don't quite measure up to XP-Pens X3 Pro Slim Stylus and X3 Pro Roller Stylus. When I tested the XP-Pen Artist Pro 19 Gen 2, I raved about the exquisite balance of its styluses since the fulcrum sits right on top of your fingers, it's easy to keep them in perfect equilibrium as you pivot and rotate them. By comparison, the balance of Huions styluses sits much further back.

Having said that, Huions styluses trump XP-Pens in a more practical manner: their inclusion of an eraser. And while I found these had a tendency to mark the screen on the Huion Kamvas Pro 19, my frantic rubbing out doesnt seem to have defaced the Kamvas Pro 24s display so far. Stylus score: 4 / 5 (Image credit: Future / Josh Russell) Should I buy the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3? Swipe to scroll horizontally

Value

Decent value, sitting in the middle of the pack of the mid-range drawing displays. Comes with almost every accessory you could need, plus a colorimeter.

4 / 5

Design

A huge 24-inch beast whose 4K screen deliver a whole load of sketching space. Some more height settings for its legs would be nice, though.

4.5 / 5

Performance

Very responsive sketching, without parallax or jitter. Vibrant colors, huge tilt angles and (slightly OTT) 16 pressure levels. Fantastic shortcut remote.

5 / 5

Stylus

Super comfortable to use. Not quite as ergonomically well balanced as XP-Pens devices, but the Huion's styluses come with erasers.

4 / 5 Buy it if You want a huge amount of drawing space At 24 inches, the display here is huge, giving you a massive artboard to sketch on. While you can get bigger the 27-inch XP-Pen Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2), for example youll have to spend a fair amount more. Youre after an awesome shortcut remote With its concentric twin dials, the Huion Keydial Remote offers even more ways to flexibly interact with the canvas. Its the best Ive tested to date. Dont buy it if You want to take it elsewhere This drawing tablet offers up both vast proportions and top performance but portable it certainly isn't. At 6.37kg, it won't be accompanying you on your commute. Youre after the biggest bargain The Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3 is great value, but you can get smaller slates for less. And even if you must have a screen this expansive, the XP-Pen Artist
Pro 24 (Gen 2) 4K costs less money. Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3 review: also consider Swipe to scroll horizontally Header Cell - Column 0

Gen 3 Tested it over the course of several weeks Used it for line drawing, blending colors and touching up images Tried out all of the core accessories and driver software I used the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 Gen 3 for several weeks, for doing line sketches, blending oil paint brushes, and touching up images
in Photoshop. In addition, I also carried out a range of line tests to gauge the accuracy of the styluses and how they responded to pressure.

In terms of specifics, I put all of the tablets accessories through their paces while creating artwork, including both styluses and the Keydial Remote. To test the driver software, I tweaked pressure curves and programmed various shortcuts for the styluses and remote to see how well they functioned in a real-world environment.

I have been testing gadgets, including a range of mid-market drawing slates, at TechRadar for several years now. Ive been creating art as an amateur for several decades, both digitally and using acrylic and canvas, which gives me the first-hand experience required to be able to assess what artists look for in drawing tablets such as these.
