The Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) is the value flagship pen display, delivering a 24-inch 4K screen, rich color and a battery-free pen for under half the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27's price. Creative Bloq scored it 9/10 and AppleInsider called it an artist's tablet that rivals Wacom. The lower pixel density and sheer size are the main trade-offs.
Full review
The Value Flagship
The Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) has become the default recommendation for artists who want a large professional pen display without paying Wacom prices. Creative Bloq scored it 9 out of 10 and concluded that "Huion is making it clearer than ever that the graphics tablet market has premium options outside of its largest rival, Wacom." AppleInsider went further in its headline, calling it "an artist's tablet that can rival Wacom," and Windows Central judged it "a worthy competitor to Wacom."
The core appeal is value: a 24-inch 4K pen display for around $1,099, less than a third of the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27's price for a screen only three inches smaller. For most working artists, that gap is decisive.
Display and Color
The 23.8-inch panel runs at 4K UHD (3840x2160) and uses Quantum Dot technology to hit a 140% sRGB / 98% NTSC color gamut with a 1.07-billion-color depth and HDR support. AppleInsider was effusive, writing that "from the screen's brightness to the sharpness of the colors, this tablet is visually above anything else on the market right now," and praised the anti-glare etched glass for reducing eye fatigue over long workdays.
Full lamination minimizes parallax, so the cursor sits right under the pen tip, and a 178-degree viewing angle keeps colors consistent. The one technical caveat reviewers raise is pixel density: at 24 inches, 4K spreads across a large area, so the per-inch sharpness is lower than a smaller 4K tablet. In practice it's plenty crisp for drawing, but pixel-peepers will notice.
Pen and Accessories
The Kamvas Pro 24 ships with Huion's battery-free PW517 pen, offering 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, 60 degrees of tilt and a high report rate. Reviewers consistently rate the pen feel excellent, and the battery-free design means there's nothing to charge. It's a generation behind the 16,384-level pens found on newer products like the XP-Pen Deco Pro MW and Huion's own Kamvas 16 (Gen 3), but in real-world drawing the difference is largely imperceptible.
A standout inclusion is the wireless twin-dial shortcut remote, which TechRadar singled out as an excellent accessory. It lets you keep modifier keys and brush controls at your non-drawing hand without reaching across the large display, a genuine workflow boost on a screen this size.
Build and Connectivity
The Kamvas Pro 24 connects via USB-C, HDMI or DisplayPort and is compatible with Windows, macOS and Android. It's a substantial, well-built slab, and like the Cintiq Pro 27 it can serve as a secondary display when you're not drawing. Windows Central concluded it's "an awesome drawing tablet for both beginners and veteran artists," reflecting how approachable Huion has made a professional-grade device.
Where It Falls Short
The Kamvas Pro 24's limitations are mostly inherent to its size and price tier. It isn't portable, it needs a reasonably powerful computer to drive the 4K panel smoothly, and its 8,192-level pen, while excellent, is no longer the highest-spec stylus on the market. The Gadgeteer's review framed it as potentially "overkill for others," a fair point: for hobbyists or those with limited desk space, the smaller Huion Kamvas 16 (Gen 3) or Wacom One 13 Touch are more sensible. It also lacks the full Pantone validation that justifies the Cintiq Pro 27 for color-critical print work.
TechRadar's verdict captured the balance well, noting that while it isn't portable and has lower pixel density than smaller tablets, "you're unlikely to be disappointed with this purchase."
Who It's Best For
The Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) is the smart choice for serious artists and studios who want a large 4K professional pen display with excellent color but can't justify the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27's price. It delivers the large-canvas, high-resolution experience for a fraction of the cost. If you need Pantone-validated color for print, step up to the Cintiq; if you want something smaller and more affordable, the Huion Kamvas 16 (Gen 3) or Wacom One 13 Touch fit better; and if you prefer drawing while looking at your monitor, the screenless XP-Pen Deco Pro MW is the budget pick.
