Anti-glare sparkle
The only issue with this tablet is that it exhibits the strongest anti-glare sparkle that I have ever seen in any device.
I'm not even typically sensitive to anti-glare sparkle. I can tolerate a lot of it. It took me several weeks to adjust to adjust to this. I mostly don't mind it now. Some of you will surely hate the amount of sparkle, and mainy people complain about this model for this reason.

General
In all other ways, I was satisfied with this tablet.
Using one USB-C cable
I was able to use this with a single Thunderbolt 3 USB-C cable. But one of my computers could supply enough power for it with that cable, and one of my computers could not.
Summary
I've been very satisfied with this tablet.
Cost
This Huion tablet not cheap at about $1300. But sometimes it is on sale at $1000.
Compared to Wacom
This is Huion's highest end pen display in 2023.
Its competitor is the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27.
Let me be clear, the Cintiq Pro 27 is a better tablet. But this tablet delivers a LOT for value for it's price. This Huion tablet delivers 90% of what you need for drawing compared to the Cintiq Pro 27's which costs $3500.
Accuracy - Good. Like all pen displays slightly inaccurate in the edges and corner by a couple of millimeters. More accurate in edges/corners than the Huion Kamvas 22 Plus.
Pointer lag - Normal for a pen display. Slightly more than the Cintiq Pro 27.
Stand - does not come with a stand.
Legs - Has bult-in legs that give it a nice drawing angle.
VESA - is VESA mountable.
Anti-glare sparkle - Moderate (maybe on the low end). Noticeable if you put your eyes close. At a normal drawing distance my eyes don't pick it up or at least it looks minimal.
Express Keys - It has none. So, I use keyboard shorts with this device. More here: tourbox
Texture - the etched glass provides a nice texture for the pen so that it doesn't feel slippery.
Heat - display stays cool to the touch - maybe sometimes slightly warm. No hot spots.
Scenario - I bought this tablet for digital art, and it works fine for that. I have used it as a secondary display at it works fine for that purpose also. But most of the time I only use it when I want to draw.
How I connect it
There are two cables running from the tablet.
display signal and data - I connect it via a single USB-C Thunderbolt 3 cable to one my Surface Pro 8's 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports.
power - I connect it using Huion's power adapter to the wall.
Diagonal wobble
Rating: GOOD (LOW AMOUNT OF WOBBLE)
Wobble is minor and only noticeable in very slow strokes.
Connection quirks
When connected to my Surface pro 8 via USB-C, when the Surface Pro sleeps, every 20 seconds the Kamvas shows a no signal and power saving message and the Surface Pro keeps playing The "USB device connected" & "USB device disconnected" sounds, this pattern reoccurs every 20 seconds ad infinitum.
To stop it, I simply disconnect the USB-C cable from the Surface Pro.
I'm not sure what the issue is but I suspect its some interaction with the sleep mode of the Surface Pro.
I did not see this in the other devices I tried, so I am not sure how prevalant it is.
Once the Surface Pro is awake, everything works normally.
