NOTE: In 2023, with the arrival of the XP-Pen Artist 22 Plus (MD220FH), I think the XP-Pen is an even better choice because of the improved pressure handling of the XP-Pen X3 Pro pen. ## Basics * Model number: GS2202 * Release year: 2020 * Active area: 22" diagonal * **Price** - It normally costs about $450 but I see it discounted often to $400 ### Links * [Brad Colbow review of Huion Kamvas 22 Plus](https://youtu.be/GJxGzJgfYGA) 2020-09-08 * [Nemanja Sekulic review of Huion Kamvas 22 Plus](https://youtu.be/mlYTRD2KmeY) 2022-03-04 ### Display specs * Size: 22" diagonal * Aspect ratio: 16x9 * Display panel tech: IPS * Bit depth: 8 bits per pixel * Anti-glare treatment: Etched glass * Laminated: YES * Color gamut: 140% sRGB ## Pen ### Included pen * PW517 - [Huion PW517 pen notes](/drawtab/catalog/pens/huion-pens/huion-pw517-notes.md) ### Compatible pens * PW517 - [Huion PW517 pen notes](/drawtab/catalog/pens/huion-pens/huion-pw517-notes.md) * PW550 - [Huion PW550 series pens notes](/drawtab/catalog/pens/huion-pens/huion-pw550-notes.md) * PW550S ## Display experience ### **Anti-glare sparkle** VERY GOOD. very minimal. Not noticeable. ### **Pixelation** With a 1920x1080 display, it looks slightly pixelated. But I don't find that a problem while drawing. My ideal pen display would have the same 22" size but with 2560x1440 resolution ### Dead pixels None detected when I got it. And none present two years later. ### Sharpness VERY GOOD. pixels clear and well delineated. ### Color Color accuracy: did not measure. ### Color gamut This is a wide color gamut display with a range of 140% sRGB. Compared to many other displays, you may find that greens and reds are more intense than you might expect. Some people will love this - for example when watching a movie - but I found it some colors distractingly intense. For digital art I prefer to work in a smaller color gamut of 100% sRGB. Unfortunately, unlike other pen displays this tablet does not have way to force it into a smaller color gamut. No options were present in the OSD or the driver. For reducing the gamut, you could use other techniques: [Clamping wide-gamut displays to sRGB](/drawtab/guides/customizing/clamping-to-srgb.md). In my case, I just left it the way it was and did not try anything to clamp the range. Note that I used Windows with this tablet. With MacOS there may be other options for dealing with the color. ## Drawing experience ### Pointer lag TYPICAL. Normal for a pen display. ### Pen tracking accuracy * **Center accuracy -** GOOD. I did not measure * **Corner Accuracy** - Seems to me about +/- 3mm on the lower left corner. Other corners had less. A little on the high side, but it will not interfere with drawing. ### **Tilt compensation** GOOD. Pointer has only very minor displacement when pen tilted at 45 degrees.
### **Parallax** GOOD - low. ## Auxiliary inputs **NONE**. So, I use keyboard shorts with this device: [TourBox](/drawtab/catalog/accessories/auxiliary-input-devices/tourbox.md) ## **Diagonal wobble** very good. has extremely low wobble. ![](/files/9A7ef4JRknMgBi9PVKxD) ## Ergonomics ### VESA Supports VESA mounting I have my Kamvas 22 plus mounted to an Ergotron LX. It works great. I especially like that it can lower the tablet enough that the bottom edge can rest on the desk. This adds for some extra stability. ### **Stand** Comes with a basic stand that attaches via VESA mounting. Nothing fancy. but works great. ### **Legs** Tablet has no legs. ### **Heat** display stays cool. I leave it on 24/7 and it has no hot spots. ### **Fan noise** NONE. It has no fans ### **Touch** it does NOT have touch support ## **Usage notes** I originally bought this tablet for digital art, and it works fine for that. Over time I have it setup on my work desk on an arm. I use it as an external display but I pull it in closer when I want to draw on a whiteboard during an online meeting. I still occasionally sketch and paint on it, but since it is on my work desk I don't do as much of it as I used to. ## **Connections and Cabling** ### **Connecting with HDMI for video signal** For this case you use the included proprietary 3-in-1 cable.
### **Connecting with USB-C for video signal** For this case you must use the 3-in-1 cable to provide power AND and a USB-C cable for video signal and data.
