It's quite nice for drawing and I enjoy the extra size. ## **Links** * User manual: * [Teoh on Tech review of Huion Inspiroy Giano G930L](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XcP_Db9e_w) 2022-05-25 * [Brad Colbow review of Huion Inspiroy Giano G930L](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiRwtSonevY) 2022-07-06 * [Create Now Sleep Later review of Huion Inspiroy Giano G930L](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcrTe2J5Ho8) 2022-08-08 * [Anna Sok review of Huion Inspiroy Giano G930L](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03auOS8lgAE) 2022-10-04 * [SweetMonia review of Huion Giano](https://sweetmonia.com/Sweet-Drawing-Blog/huion-inspiroy-giano-graphics-tablet-review-a-large-drawing-area-for-your-heart-content/) G930L 2024-03-14 ## **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 ## **Included pen** This tablet comes with the Huion PW517 pen. 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](/drawtab/catalog/pens/huion-pens/upgrading-pw517-to-pw550.md). ## **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.

It will mostly be visible with strokes using large brushes. ## Diagonal wobble Rating: VERY GOOD. Low amounts of wobble.
