If you like working outside the office or during your travels without a computer or laptop connection, then this is a perfect pick for you.
The Kamvas Studio 22 features a large 21.5 inches screen size that is comfortable to use especially for drawing.
You will be able to view your work in clear and high detail thanks to 1920 x 1080 Pixels Full HD resolution. Additionally, the screen is fully laminated adding to the overall clarity of the screen due to reduced parallax.
A fully laminated screen is also considered to be more firm and durable compared to a nonlaminated one because of the 3 fused layers that form one sturdy screen.
To protect your eyes from direct light, the tablet has a protective anti-glare film covering the screen. This technology creates a matte screen that helps create a nice natural paper-like feel when drawing.
You can be able to clearly view the screen at a 178-degree angle from all directions. Additionally, the screen features good color accuracy with a 120 % sRGB color Gamut.
Kamvas Studio 22 Stylus Pen
After the screen, the stylus Pen is one of the most important parts of an artist’s tablet.
The Huion Kamvas Studio 22 comes with a nice PW500 Pen. First, the pen is battery-free and will not need to connect with wires to charge. As you use the Pen, it automatically charges through electromagnetic resonance technology.
A good pen needs to be highly sensitive to draw different types of stroke variations. The pen features 8192 pen pressure levels and a large 5080 lines per inch resolution.
One great thing about the pen is its nice ergonomic design that is shaped to look like a real pencil. This allows you to comfortably use it.
Kamvas Studio 22 Power and Performance

Multi-tasking is also made possible by a powerful intel core i5 processor. Additionally, you will have 2 options for RAM with either 8 GB or 16 GB size.
