What color modes does the Kamvas 22 (Gen 3) support?
The Kamvas 22 (Gen 3) supports several color modes, including Native, sRGB, Adobe RGB, Rec. 709, Display P3, and Black&White Mode, all of which can be adjusted through the OSD menu.

Native: Native color mode with no color gamut limitation, offering vibrant and saturated colors.

sRGB/Adobe RGB/Rec. 709/Display P3: 4 color gamut modes, which restrict the color space to the corresponding standard gamuts.

Black&White Mode: Converts the screen to black and white, helping you assess the grayscale balance of your artwork or use the screen for reading purposes.

What are the advantages and improvements of Canvas Glass 2.0?
The new Kamvas series pen display is equipped with the 2nd-gen Canvas Glass cover glass. Thanks to new nano-etching tech, it can bring an excellent anti-glare effect and paper-like texture to ensure artists have a better workflow. In addition, it obviously solved the sparkle problem by adjusting the ratio of values between granularity, haze, gloss, etc. This means that less color noise will appear on the screen, even against a pure white background.
Does the Huion Kamvas 22 (Gen 3) support touch input?
No, Kamvas 22 (Gen 3) does not support the multi-touch function.
Which pen comes with the Kamvas 22 (Gen 3) standard package?
The Kamvas 22 (Gen 3) comes with a PW600L digital pen. You can buy a PW600 or PW600S digital pen separately for a better experience.
What is PenTech 4.0 Technology?
PenTech 4.0 refers to the 4th generation of Huion pen technology, which perfectly enhances pressure sensitivity to 16,384 levels through digital signals transmitted by Huion's independently developed HV200 chip. It also makes the pressure curve more precise to let you draw lines more evenly when you use pressure from 2g initial activation force to 500g maximum force.

In addition, PenTech 4.0 also comes with these advanced functions:

Tilt Auto-alignment: It ensures the cursor position will not be offset when you draw lines at any angle.

Reduce Pen Head Size: To avoid blocking your view while you draw.

Low Retraction Distance: The retraction distance refers to the distance that the pen nib retracts to the inside when the pressure is applied from the minimum to the maximum. It has now been optimized to 0.35mm, which means you will not feel any nib wobbling while drawing.

Some other important features:

Optional Pen Nibs: There are standard nibs and felt nibs (giving more friction) for artists to choose from.

Tilt Recognition: You can use tilt recognition with software that supports this function to imitate real strokes (such as pencils, brushes, etc).

Is the fan noise of the Kamvas 22 (Gen 3) very loud?
The Kamvas 22 (Gen 3) does not have a fan, so you don’t need to worry about noise.
