Review: Huion Kamvas Pro 24 gen 3 (2025)

The Huion Kamvas Pro 24 gen 3 pen display was released in November 2025. This upgrade has several improvements over the previous Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) from 2021. The biggest update is the pen display now has a touchscreen.

The price is USD 1399-1499 depending on country, and includes 1 year of warranty, with option to purchase longer warranty.

Design

The Huion Kamvas Pro 24 gen 3 looks similar to the previous model. The design still looks good and build quality feels solid. Bezels are thick but provide the space for your hands to rest at the sides.

The display uses a 23.8-inch IPS LCD with 4K UHD resolution and 60Hz refresh rate.

The pen display is huge (589.2 x 364 x 22.7mm) so you'll need to have the table space for it. My table space is limited so I prefer pen displays that are around 15-20 inches.

The active area measures 525.89 (H) x 295.81 (V) which is almost A3-size but a bit smaller.

When using a drawing app with palettes on the left and right, the remaining drawing area is still larger than A4 paper.

If you want an even larger pen display, consider the USD 2199 Huion Kamvas Pro 27 (144Hz) instead.

The matte glass surface has effective anti-glare and the display brightness is high enough to go through the diffused reflection.

The display is laminated, but the glass is thick so there will still be a gap between the pen and the pen tip. Pen calibration is needed to remove the parallax, especially parallax when the pen is used near the edges of the display. After pen calibration, the gap between the cursor and pen tip should not be noticeable.

The two built-in fold-out feet can only deploy the pen display at one angle.

This pen display has support for 10 x 10cm VESA. On the product page, there is the option to purchase the more adjustable Huion ST100 stand for USD 30 which I highly recommend. Or if you want to use the pen display upright like a normal desktop monitor, get the Huion ST500 stand which is USD 139.

The power button and ports are located at the top of the pen display.

The power button can be held down for 3 seconds to show the OSD menu where you can change the colour space, adjust brightness, contrast, colour temperature, RGB, and other display settings.

Beside the power button is a switch to enable or disable finger touch support.

Ports available are USB-C video, full-size DisplayPort 1.4 and full-size HDMI 2.0. The USB-C port can provide 5-8W of power won't be enough to charge a laptop.

On the right side of the pen display are two USB-A 2.0 ports and a 3.5mm audio jack.

Regardless of which video connection you use, the pen display has to be connected to power. If you use DisplayPort or HDMI, you also need to connect another USB cable to the computer so that the pen, touchscreen and the two USB-A ports can work.

If you use USB-C video cable connection, the other cable you need is just the power cable.

Colour calibration

Having a colour calibrator included is useful. Huion markets the G1 colorimeter as a limited gift but I wonder if the pen display could actually be cheaper without this colour calibrator.

The pen display is already colour calibrated at the factory and the average delta E is 0.99. Average delta E is the variance between the digital input colour and the measured output colour. Anything less than 2 is good, and less than 1 is fantastic.

The colour calibration software is called GTCOLOR and can be downloaded from Huion's download page (search for gtcolor). This software only works on Windows OS, and only works for the Huion pen display which means it won't work with other monitors or laptop displays.

Colour calibration with the G1 colorimeter is straightforward. Just follow the instructions, set the display mode to USER from the OSD menu, then calibrate. The colour calibration process requires a few minutes.

The calibration data is saved onto the display itself, which means the display does not need to be calibrated again when used with another computer. The display can be colour calibrated with a Windows computer, and then be used with a Mac without having to colour calibrate it again.

Colour calibration should be done every few months, probably every quarter, to ensure the display is always showing the most accurate colours.

The GTCOLOR software does not show % coverage for the different colour spaces.

With my own Spyder X2 colour calibrator, I measured colour support for 100% sRGB, 94% NTSC, 97% Adobe RGB and 100% P3. Maximum brightness is 280 nits, higher than advertised and higher than the previous model where I measured only 201 nits.

Sharpness

This pen display uses Canvas Glass v3. From what I can see there's minimal colour noise, grain or anti-glare sparkle from the matte glass surface.

The display has 4K UHD resolution so that's 3840 x 2160. Pixel density is 185 PPI so pixelation is not noticeable.

When I look close, there's slight softness with the visuals. But when working from normal distance away, the visuals look sharp.

I had reviewed the Huion Kamvas Pro 19 in 2024 and noted the soft visuals. That pen display uses Canvas Glass v2.

Unfortunately I do not have the Kamvas Pro 19 already for a side by side comparison, but from what I can see, the Kamvas Pro 24 (gen 3) seems sharper. This is a good and visible improvement, upgrade. I do not have major or minor complaints with the softness. The display is sharp or sharp enough.

Touchscreen support

Windows has supported touchscreen devices for more than a decade, so touchscreen support works better on Windows than on MacOS.

Touchscreen user experience will vary depending on the drawing apps used. Most drawing apps on Windows have good support for basic navigation gestures for pan, zoom and rotate. Many apps have support for palm rejection, and some have support for finger gesture shortcuts.

Support for palm rejection is not ideal. For drawing apps that have pen-only mode, there's no way to introduce stray strokes when you rest your palm on the display. Palm rejection is not ideal because when you rest your palm, sometimes unintentional gestures such as zoom or undo may activate. Palm rejection with Windows is not as good compared to what you can get with iPads and Android tablets.

For MacOS, the touchscreen user experience is bad and not-consistent. Even basic navigation gestures for pan, zoom and rotate may not work well. Most drawing apps on MacOS were never designed with touchscreens in mind so many do not support palm rejection and gesture shortcuts such as 2-finger tap to undo.

If you're buying this pen display to work with MacOS, the touchscreen is not a selling feature so you should probably get a pen display without touch and save some money.

I've always considered touchscreen as a nice-to-have feature but not a must-have feature, and still retain that opinion.

Main thing to note about touchscreen is you'll be using this with a computer, so chances are you'll have a keyboard, and it's almost always more productive to use keyboard shortcuts instead of finger gestures. Even navigation shortcuts can be faster with keyboards than with gestures. Also note that whenever you use gesture shortcuts with your drawing hand, you switch from drawing posture to use the gesture and switch back, something that's not necessary with keyboard shortcuts.

Driver

There are drivers available for Windows, Mac and Linux. For this review, I've tested the Windows driver v20.1.1.76 and Mac driver 20.0.1.65 both released on 22 Oct 2025. The same driver works for the pen display and the Huion K40 shortcut remote.

Here's what you can do with the driver (PDF manual:

• Adjust working area, screen ratio
• Customise the pen buttons
• Customise the pressure curve with 3 control points or presets
• Enable or disable pen pressure and tilt
• Enable or disable Windows Ink (for Windows)
• Create shortcut groups for specific apps
• Calibrate the pen to remove parallax
• Customise the shortcuts for the Huion K40 shortcut remote
• Customise up to 24 softkeys with the Virtual Keyboard
• Backup the settings

I use a dual display setup and the Switch Display feature that moves the cursor from one to the other display works well.

The new Virtual Keyboard can provide 24 softkeys which are all customisable. This is useful for those who need more shortcuts. The Virtual Keyboard would disappear instantly after you use a shortcut, or you can choose to pin it permanently on the screen. The Virtual Keyboard always appear above other apps.

Even though the display is laminated, the matte glass still has some thickness so there will be a gap between the cursor and pen tip when the pen is near the edges of the display. Pen calibration is needed to remove that parallax, so that the cursor can appear directly beneath the pen tip wherever you more the pen.

Line tests

These are line tests created with Medibang Paint Pro on Windows.

1. Initial activation force is very low and thin lines can be drawn easily even with a thick brush selected. There is slight wobble with slow diagonal lines, something that shows up the tests but not when actually drawing.

2. Lines can taper smoothly and sharply.

3. Line transition from thin to thick and back is smooth. Not all pens can draw thin lines after drawing thick so the performance here is very good. This is also a diagonal line and i don't see noticeable line wobble.

4. Line width can be maintained consistently by maintaining consistent line width. This is also a diagonal line and i don't see noticeable line wobble.

5. Dots can be drawn easily.

6. There are no issues with cursor misalignment. I could join separate lines without leaving gaps or overshooting.

Tilt sensitivity works. Cursor can follow the direction of the pen.

The Huion PW600 pen is sensitive and quite accurate.

Drawing experience

Below are sketches drawn with various drawing apps on Windows. Pen performance is predictable and consistent and I was able to get the lines to look the way I want them to look.

The main thing that affects drawing experience is palm rejection which does not work perfectly. Resting the palm on the display can sometimes cause unintentional zoom or undo. Wearing the included artist glove would get you almost perfect palm rejection.

This was sketched with StylusX (review), an app designed to support touchscreens and gesture shortcuts. This app works really well on the pen display. Navigation gestures and finger shortcuts work well, even palm rejection works well more of the time. Workflow is smooth without issue.

This was drawn with Concepts, another app designed for touchscreen devices. Navigation gestures and finger shortcuts (2, 3, 4-finger taps) work well. Tilt for some reason does not work, and seems to be a common problem with pen displays but not with Windows tablets.

This was drawn with Clip Studio Paint. I've nothing negative to report. Gestures, palm rejection and undo work well.

This was drawn with Medibang Paint and unfortunately this app does not support palm rejection, so resting the palm on the display may create stray strokes.

When using drawing apps on MacOS, you can expect fantastic pen performance as well. But as mentioned, navigation gestures, finger shortcuts and palm rejection do not work well with many drawing apps on MacOS.

Conclusion

The Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (gen 3) pen display is a beautiful well made pen display. Display quality looks fantastic. I see slight softness with the visual up close but softness is not a major or even a minor concern. The display looks so good that it's probably a waste if you can't use it as a main monitor to watch shows but there's no monitor stand included.

Pen is accurate and sensitive, so drawing performance is fantastic.

Touchscreen support is a mixed bag. On Windows, navigation gestures work well, and many drawing apps support palm rejection and gesture shortcuts. However palm rejection is not perfect and can cause unintentional zoom or undo when palm is resting on the display. To prevent palm rejection issues, one can always wear the artist glove included.
Drawing apps on MacOS do not work well with the touch gestures.

Huion has a good product here and I can recommend this easily but do note the limitation with touchscreen support.
