# Huion Kamvas 16 2021 (GS1562) notes

## Summary

* A little bit of a dated tablet, but in 2025 it is a very good deal if you are budget constrained and can't go for the Huion Kamvas 16 GEN3 (which is a clearly superior tablet).
* Drawing experience is pretty typical for this generation of Huion's products - works very well.
* DO get the PW550 pen and use it instead of the PW517 pen that comes with this tablet.

## Included pen

The tablet comes with the PW517 pen.

As with all Huion tablets that comes with the PW517 pen, I recommend you also buy the PW550 pen which is much better and can really upgrade the drawing experience. More here [Huion PW550 series pens notes](/drawtab/catalog/pens/huion-pens/huion-pw550-notes.md)

## Diagonal wobble

* A bit of diagonal wobble at slow speeds. Not too much and can be compensated for by turning on smoothing/stabilization in your drawing app. The wobble is not visible at faster speeds and depending on how you draw you may not even notice it.
  * In Krita I used weighted smoothing with a distance value of 200.

## Display specs

* Resolution: 1920x1080
* Pixel density: 142 PPI
* Contrast ratio: 1000:1
* Brightness: 220 nits (max)
* Response time: 25ms
* Color Gamut: 120% sRGB
* Color: 8 bits per channel (RGB)
* Display tech: IPS

## Anti-glare treatment

Type: Anti-glare Matte Film

## Anti-glare sparkle

Low amounts of AG sparkle. You'd have to put your eyes about 4 to 5 inches from the tablet to even notice it - even then it is not much.

## Buttons

* Has 10 buttons on the left side.

## Connections and cabling

* **Ports** - Has two recessed USB-C ports on the right side. The wells the ports are in are slightly different sizes.
* **3-in-1 cable**. The tablet comes with a 3-in-1 cable if you need to connect it to your computer with HDMI
* **Single USB-C connection** - This tablet DOES support being connected with a single USB-C connection. Because the port is recessed I recommend you buy Huion's fell featured USB-C cable for this tablet. Of course you will need to make sure your computer supports a single USB-C connection.
