Huion Inspiroy Giano (G930L) notes

Introduced in 2022, the Giano G930L is a fantastic value. It's quite nice for drawing and I enjoy the extra size.

Notes on specs

Pens

Consider upgrading the pen

For an improved drawing experience, consider buying the PW550 pen which is compatible with it. See: Upgrading from PW517 to PW550.

Compared to Wacom

Its competitor is the Wacom Intuos Pro Large (PTH-860), and the Giano has some interesting differences:

• The Giano G930L costs about $200 where the Wacom Intuos Pro Large (PTH-860) costs about $500

• The Giano's active area is slightly larger than the Wacom Intuos Pro

Surface texture

The tablet has a textured surface. The amount of texture is comparable to the Wacom Intuos Pro.

Wireless

One minor nit: by default, the tablet will still go to sleep when connected, apparently to conserve its battery. This is not a problem because you can go into the driver settings and turn off this sleep behavior.

OLED auxiliary display

There's a monochromatic OLED auxiliary display on the upper left of the tablet. This is a nice feature that lets you see the battery level easily.

Working with a large tablet

Large tablets require some adjustment to work with. More here: Using large pen tablets

Pressure instability

Some pressure pulsing is visible at lower pressure. It will mostly be visible with strokes using large brushes.

Diagonal wobble

Rating: VERY GOOD. Low amounts of wobble.
