Huion Kamvas 13 (GS1331) notes

Overview

A decent, slightly older pen display. I highly recommend getting the Kamvas 13 GEN3 (GS1333) instead - it is a better tablet in every way. More here: Huion Kamvas 13 GEN3 (GS1333) notes

Another budget alternative is the XP-Pen Artist 13 GEN2.

Notes on specs

Pens

• I recommend buying and using a PW550 instead of the included PW517. Huion PW550 series pens notes

Removing anti-glare film

The AG film is removable and Huion sells replacement films for this model.

I have removed the film and have used it by drawing on directly on its glass surface. Without the glass, the colors are more vivid, pixels are sharper, AG sparkle is completely gone - however you will be able to see light reflections in the glass easily.

Anti-glare sparkle

Exhibits moderate Anti-glare sparkle

Connections and cabling

• I connect it to my PC with a separately purchased Huion full-featured USB-C cable.

Diagonal wobble

Very low
