At ValueQ, we reviewed 2 drawing tablets from Huion, GT-133 and H610 Pro and in this article we are going to talk about the Huion Kamvas Pro 13 GT-133 tablet.
Early Verdict
Kamvas Pro 13 GT-133 is one of the newest medium sized digital tablet from Huion. In Fact, it is one of the first compact 13” inch drawing tablet from Huion as the previous models were easily 19”-22” big. While the small form factor makes it easy to carry the drawing monitor around in a normal size laptop bag, there are a lot more awesome features too which makes the GT-133 and undeniable deal.
Starting off with the sleek design, the tablet is really thin which makes it easy to use and carry. It has a sturdy build which screams quality. Also, the display is laminated and has good colors which is necessary for a drawing monitor. It comes with multiple programmable keys so you can always program a particular button to perform a specific function. On the tablet, there is only one single USB Type-C port for connection which is awesome. Kudos to Huion for following the latest USB Type-C standard.
Kamvas Pro 13 GT-133 comes with a solid adjustable stand in the box which is neat. The pen which the tablet comes with is battery free so there is no hassle to charge the pen up before using it. There is a pen holder in the box which also houses 10 extra pen tips and a tip replacement mechanism. The drawing pen works really well and the pressure sensitivity is amazing which we will discuss late in the review. All the necessary stuff comes right in the package which means you don’t have to spend extra buck for cables or stuff.

Design and Build
Huion Kamvas Pro 13 GT-133 is no doubt a sleek and stylish drawing monitor. It has the perfect displays size and dimensions to be carried around easily in a regular laptop bag. The tablet is quite slim considering that it doesn’t comes with a stand built in, rather it has one in the box. To be exact, the dimensions of the GT-133 are 16.7 x 10.2 x 3.1 inches and the weight of the tablet is around 0.91KG.
Kamvas Pro 13 is made out of smooth plastic on the front, while the rear panel is metallic. The metal panel provides more durability to the tablet in case of accidental fall. There is only a single color option available. Talking about the front of the drawing tablet, it has a Full HD screen on the front along with six keys and 1 touch bar.
Out of the six keys, the top and the bottom one is Power and for OSD settings respectively. However, the other four are programmable which means you can assign them to perform a particular function. All the buttons are click and have nice tactile feedback to them. The touch bar isn’t actually programmable but has various mode like pen size, zoom in or out etc.
There is a single interface port which is Type-C use for the main connections. The rear panel has 2 rubber straps which provides extra grip when the tablet is placed on a slanted or slippery surface.
Display Quality
Having a screen on a drawing tablet really helps to draw better since you can actually see the place you are going to draw. This provides an experience like drawing on a notebook. Huion Kamvas Pro 13 GT-133 comes with a 13 inch IPS LCD display which look pretty great. The display is covered or laminated by a layer of Anti-Glare coating. The Anti-Glare lamination is very useful when drawing in an area with multiple light source as it reduces the reflection of the lights on the display thus boosting the visibility. 
Talking about the resolution, the display on the Kamvas Pro 13 has a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080. While there are other big tablets with similar resolution too, the screen of the GT-133 is much sharper because of the compact display which means higher pixel density. Viewing angles are great, however, due to the coating the display appears dark when looked from some extreme angles. One thing to remember is that the display doesn’t support touch input.
