This is actually a fantastic option. They fixed one of the biggest problems that I have had with my Cintiq Hybrid (the cable) but I'm so reliant on my express keys. Guess I'll have to get the remote! Great that they are making their products more accessible to people though!
I bought one of these and it helped my cord issues a lot. In case anyone else needs one! It holds your cord in place. Makes it much better www.etsy.com/listing/530082285/wacom-cintiq-cable-support-adapter
There's a program you can get that makes short cuts on the screen. So it's virtual express keys. Yeah it's no replacement for actual buttons, but they're super customizable and free.
That's true, but Huion tablets have a lot of bugs and are made more cheaply. Most of the huions in reviews have had issues, like the cord connection not working, and installation is a nightmare from what I've heard.
@@indigoxalis I can't speak for the cord connection, but the drivers need to be downloaded from their site and not from the little driver cd huions come with, which is usually the problem! Also calibration is important to do and your computers RAM will affect the performance of the tablet. I'm going to be investing in a Huion this year and i think they're pretty great from what i've heard/read :)
@@indigoxalis My first 2 tablets were Wacom. The amount of times I had to install and reinstall the drivers because it wouldn't work was ridiculous. My second tablet was a small 13" cintiq and I kept losing the screen and image as soon as I moved the tablet because the cable connector was garbage. They both have good and bad sides.
I'm very glad that Wacom seemed to have listened to people. While it's still a bit more expensive than very similiar tablets, it is good that people, who rather would like to stick to Wacom, but couldn't afford a Cintiq, finally have the option to get one that has a very nice size aswell! While I'm glad I got my Huion Kamvas GT-191 (and I really like this tablet a lot) I'd have saved up a bit more money for this, had it come out before I got my Huion c:
The cintiq 16 is great! I plan on investing in one within the next few months; although of course I'll read more reviews, and more testing. Wacom only released this tablet because they're getting scared of competitors leveling up, and becoming real competition for them. I knew it was only a matter of time before they dropped an affordable screen tablet with the popularity of these surface pros.
I just ordered this tablet the other day (just waiting on the delivery arriving) and I couldn't be more excited! I've only ever used the screenless wacom bamboo tablets, so it'll be a treat to even have pen pressure sensitivity :)
I got an iPad pro for digital sketching. I use procreate for the drawing program. Its not my favorite most of the time. The apple pen feels like I'm drawing with a fat crayon. The slippery glass doesn't feel satisfying to me, I've realized. I do use it for Spotify and playing RUclips on the side when I'm working. I've been using wacom tablets for maybe 15+ years. I'm used to not having touch capabilities, and I usually turn it off anyways. I had a wacom bamboo tablet for so many years, and using the keyboard for shortcuts was easy for me. I use a wacom intuos pro now, and I still reach out to the keyboard instead of the keys on the side. I think I will buy the Cintiq16 sometime this year.
I recognize that the tablet seems interesting, but still, I think the prize is still pretty high for those who are getting into digital art. I have just bought one from other brand which is half prize and yet I had to save money for several months to get it. Anyways, I like the review and I love your art, as always :)
@@steinscamus8037 In the end I got a Huion GT 191 v2. It's not the best screen tablet in the world, but it gets the job done. There's a bit of a lag between the pen and the tablet, but nothing really troublesome; the screen is huge and I don't need to charge the pen, so I'm quite happy with it. I can definatelly recomend it.
Maybe it's a silly question but, if you're used to a pad tablet, would drawing on a screen be annoying since your hand is in the way? It's one of my main concerns since i'm so adjusted to seeing everything without a fleshy blockade. XD
for ctrl+z I change the setting to be just button Z to shorten my time when drawing. I still practicing with my XP-Pen tablet before I can buy cintiq tablet. In that case of Cintiq 16, It will be better to have keyboard as the subtitute of the previous version.
I just bought the Cintiq 12wx for like $150. It's the same pressure sensitivity (2048 ps) as the Cintiq 13hd, but it's an older model. I suggest that if anyone wants to purchase a Wacom Cintiq product but don't want to pay astronomical amounts, they should look into older models like 21ux or 12wx. It's worth the price difference.
Great video, You're amazing! It deserves to buy because of it's low price point. If what you need is the best best pen with no compromises this is it. The downsides are that this does not have a laminated display so you have some parallax and there are also no shortcut keys on the device. however, had my attention taken by the XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro as well. The digital pen of the Artist 15.6 Pro is also really good and jitter free. The addition of a laminated screen is a nice addition and really reduces parallax.
ohh I'm using my wacom tablet for 3 and a half year now and looking for good one to buy, this one looks great!! I always wanted this kind of tablet, but others were kinda expensive for a middle schooler, thanx for the review!!
Wow, you are so good at drawing with it 💜. I have Huion's tablet at home but I'm just terrible at it. It's so hard to switch from pencil to this. But I intend to practice alot 😅
Oh, digital art does take a lot of practice, especially since there are so many options and ways to do it. Maybe a foil that adds a paper texture to the screen might help. Don't give up! :)
I’ve never had a wacom monitor before, so most of the comparisons to other wacom’s i’m not used to anyways. I just ordered my wacom cintiq 16 and I’m very excited to try it out!
I dropped good money on a Wacom a few months ago so this video is pointless for me to watch, but I'm watching it anyways because I just really enjoy Laovaan. :)
woah thank you so much for this review :) I have an old tablet that still works althogh it's not with working screen like the cyntiqs, been eyeing one for years but still unsure in which one to invest, mainly with the art I tend to do and since I'm adjusting to digital, since I work mainly with traditional, so this review helped me out in understanding a bit more the differences between models. Your videos are always interesting :D
Yep I am sold. This is exactly what I wanted for being used to Wacom, as an entry-level pen display... it could be a nice upgrade from my old Intuos 5, since I can't even utilize 4k resolutions yet. Shame it doesn't come with the remote, but I use the keyboard anyway.
I just bought the Cintiq 13 HD a few days ago for $600 on kijiji. 😂 After using the hellish Wacom intuos and the alright bamboo tablets for 3+ years, this Cintiq has been a dream come true. Since I finally draw my line art for my comic in one go, instead of undoing every stroke 13 times. 😭 Took a bit to install and calibrate, but after unselecting windows ink, everything was so good to go! No regrets whatsoever.
Thinking about getting one after doing $ commissions! I’ve been told my headshots in a simple style are worth 16$ alone, gah so exited 💕💕 I’m gonna update you guys for fun haha. current count of money: 200-250 ! commissions: not yet!
I also have a cintiq 13HD and I love it, but it's not a tablet you can travel with due to all the cords. I was interested in this new 16in, but I don't like that it doesn't have express keys... I also have the mobile studio pro. It's very good-- it's basically a portable cintiq 13HD. I have had some issues with windows 10 and tablet mode on the mobile studio, but otherwise it performs well. I recommended it, but it is VERY expensive. An iPad is much more affordable and is best for hobby artists.
I ended up buying a windows surface pro because it was cheaper than a cintiq. It still isn't the cheapest equipment depending on what processor you want, but it does come with the benefit of being travel easy. I don't take an art college course, but because i take my tablet to record my medical theory, i basically can digitally draw when i have a moment i need to relax.
Thank you :) Unfortunately I've never used or owned a Cintiq Pro 13 which is why I could only use my old 13 HD (not Pro) for the comparison. The Pro has multi touch and a better pen for example and possibly better color reproduction on the screen so it entirely depends on your budget and whether you'll be using it profesionally.
Aaaa, man, I want. I actually bought into the Kamvas Pro 13 thing after it got some favorable reviews, and for being the price it was. I've been having a genuinely good time with it, but there are just a series of tiny irks with it that have kinda condensed into a headache. Returning it and picking this up in a week or two. Won't hurt to have the extra real-estate either. The 13 inches are workable, but having just a couple more up and down will be much appreciated
Frankly, the Chinese tablets aren't really that much cheaper compared to this when you take the quality, durability, and most importantly, drawing experience, into account. I had a Huion a couple of years back that suddenly stopped working after 6 months. I'm seeing good reviews for the new XP-Pen 15.6 Pro. But what keeps me from purchasing it over Cintiq 16 is durability. I intend to use it for a least a few years. Cintiq has a good reputation in that regard, the others are unproven. Some of those tables are reported to cause issues for left-handed people. Something to consider is you're a leftie like me.
@@tolula9927 Yeah I actually wound up getting the Cintiq 16. Amazon let me return my Kamvas even though I was past my return date. I got a defective 16 and had to wait another week and a half to get a replacement, which has an annoying speck of dirt under the film over the screen. Aside from that and I guess the color gamut compared to the Kamvas, much better product. Pen is fantastic, the size feels a lot bigger than I thought it would, only being a couple inches, and the calibration is great. Really happy with it, will give it another few years for the alternative brands to catch up before I consider them again.
@@AuburnnSkies Glad you're happy with your purchase. I think that's the best decision. You should only be focusing on drawing and painting, not technical issues.
Another relevant difference, depending on what you’re used to and how you work, is that this one has a considerably lower color gamut. If you have a nice normal screen with a great Color range you will notice that this tablet's screen seems more dull. This is probably one of the bigger price factors :)
Good for some people but as a novice 5 years into digital art, I need a tablet with 6 buttons minimum and a pen that comes with an eraser. I kinda picky when it comes to such things.
Matthew B. The 13 is the pro version. Besides the extras Laovaan mentioned it has much better color range, higher resolution and probably something else I forgot. I suggest looking at a tech review for details.
Yeah, I paid about that same I guess, and it still works find 👌 would have love a more secure cable connection though, cause I am always afraid of breaking it :'D
Laovaan not gonna lie my laptop and tablet never coincide on connection sides so the cable is always bending I am hella scared that one day is gonna break and never work :’v
@@LaovaanArtOn my desk this isn't generally a problem, but it is a bit messy. but I wonder if the expresskeys would still be useful if you put the tablet the other way up with the buttons on the other side? It'd fix the cable being in the wrong place issue anyway. :D (but the buttons would be on the wrong side I know.. possibly ok tho?) It's got me curious enough to try it in left handed mode anyway, having to do hand-crossover occasionally might not cause any problems. It's already made my setup look neater, at least!
How is the connection with the 3-in-1 cable? Is it wobbly as the Cintiq 13HD connector? I'm struggling to find information on this, which I think is a huge issue with Wacom. They have a long history of really crappy connectors that break loose inside the devices and pretty much bricks them.
Thank you for your video! Among all the others on youtube, I found additional information there, such as about the latency, or that the tilt sensitivity of the pen is a nice feature, but useless, if the software does not support it. Or the short sequence, where you adjusted the γ-curve of the pen: There were a few options for the software in use, and "others". Hence. I wonder, which software maxes the capabilities of the tablet and the driver. Which one do you use? Very helpful video, and thank you again!
great review Laovaan ! .. Im debating myself what to get .. if this cintiq 16 or a huion (the kamvas 20inch or the 22 inch) .. taking the size out of equation .. maybe you remember how was the feeling drawing with huion gt 220 v2 ? how it compares to wacom new cintiq pro pen 2 Im an owner of a cintiq companion 2 with 16 gb ram an an i7 (I bought it second hand) and I have an ipad pro 12.9 Im feeling way more comfortable working with the apple pencil .. and maybe Im wrong but in my opinion one of the keys here is that wacom took out the very thin filament acrylic glass (?) of the cintiq pro 16 and replaced with just regular ( 1 or 2 mm. millimiter ) glass like on regular cintiq 13 hd . of course this is my opinion .. for some people this would not represent a big deal.
Wacom Cintiq's are currently considered the gold standard but their monitors and tablets start at over $600 new so that is out of the question for most people and definitely not worth it for a beginner. I suggest getting this XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro drawing display, wider color gamut of 88% NTSC and laminated screen Compare to Wacom cintiq 16.
I've got Wacom device drivers conflict too. I use Bamboo ink on Yoga 520, and then I install the Citiq driver on it. Bamboo Ink started to behave weird and I need to restart the PC after a few minutes to get it back to running.
Do you make your own line art brushes? Or did you get them from somewhere else? Can I buy/download your brushes if you made them and if they are available?
I'd consider getting a drawing pad, but considering how I'm not super informed about them atm (aside from this vid, very informative!) and the lag on this tablet isn't inspiring, I'll prob wait for a future drawing tablet that is even more affordable with less lag.
Is there a way to spin the drawing it if it isn't a touch screen? I draw on my phone, and the most of the apps allow you to rotate the drawing.I've never used a screen like this, which bothers me, but if it's like drawing on paper, it should be fine right? What are your thoughts hank you so much for the review it was truly helpful. ❤
Hi Laovaan, I really want to know if this cintiq works with autodesk sketchbook pro? I would like to buy it for my birthday 🤔. Thanks a lot, I love your videos so much!!
How do you like the screen color and brightness? I use a UGEE at work and the screen resolution, color, and brightness are horrid. The Yiynova I used to have at home wasn't much better. (plus both have smooth glass surfaces and I want the etched feel of the Wacom) I don't mind not having express keys as I don't use them, but I don't want to always have to color proof art on my iMac screen because the tablet color space is so far off. Thank you for your time!
tbh even though it's the cheapest cintiq I would rather for budget artist to buy an alternative like huion. Yes Wacom has premium quality that I have experienced but if you're a budget artist that is starting out I would recommend buying an alternative instead.
Mhh, the missing express keys are a huge turn off for me, they are crucial for my work flow. Tbh, 600$ for a display with (good) pressure sensitivity is a lot. You get a tablet for painting, changing the height and expresskeys are a must if you are spending that much money imo.
Perfect. They finally realized they were taking a hit on sales by the competition. Now huion and company will have to: A) Improve quality to wacom standards (I love xp pen and huion, I'm not saying they are trash) B) Drop their prices See guys? This is why competition is good for us clients.
“only 599”? When I started drawing, back in the years, I did not have more than 50€ to spend and when I’ve managed to buy my first basic Wacom which was about 80€ I had to work a lot to allow myself those 30 extra bucks ( I was even very young and I was studying). Now I own an iPad Pro ( I’ve received as a gift for my 25 years cause I could still not afford that), and I have to say that these tablets are complicated and starting with one of these is not necessarily the best option. I felt bad when I was younger that I could not buy a more expensive one but now I’m glad I did and that I’ve practiced with the basic ones before spending even more than 100 when I was still learning the first steps of the digital art. This said, 599 is still a lot and if you cannot manage to buy it don’t feel bad about it and look for even lower prices and used ones. And I still use, besides my ultra powerful super expensive iPad Pro, my lovely 80€ Wacom who still did not leave me after all my angry first sketches and god only knows how much I’ve scratched it. Not only that but I own even a cheap less known brand which still works great. ( which was around 45€) I just wanted to share my story cause I see a lot of people in the comments saying that they still cannot afford these “cheap” versions of great tablets but don’t worry, look for alternatives cause the only thing that matters at the end is drawing and you don’t need necessarily these type of things to do it. I did invest tho in programs before buying expensive tablets cause the better the program, the more you can do to your works. Hope it helps ⭐️
Yeah I agree, I started with a graphire 4 back then, and went over bamboo to intuos to the cintiq13hd and it took over ten years to use a monitor tablet. Last year I reviewed the new intuos mediun tho, which is the new gen of bamboo. And the comments where all beginners complaining they wanted to start with a monitor tablet. Thats why I included, that while I wouldnt recommend it to beginners because of the price, its still an option in case you need to work on a screen. Because the demand nowadays for such tablets is just higher than ever ^^
I was wondering about the power cable ? I live in a country with a different voltage than america, so if I order one, would they ajust the power cable before sending it ? thanks

You had to send it back? The fact that Huion actually gives their tablets to people to review says volumes.
agreed, I had the same reaction. Wouldn't surprise me if they try and sell those back as refurbished later on.
Amyeha I mean, that’s the point. Or would you expect them to just store the sent back ones forever :P

I recommended it, but it is VERY expensive. An iPad is much more affordable and is best for hobby artists.
do you recommend 13hd?
Thanx a lot! I have been planning on getting a cintiq for a while now, and this was a great review! Im probably going to buy this one :D
I ended up buying a windows surface pro because it was cheaper than a cintiq. It still isn't the cheapest equipment depending on what processor you want, but it does come with the benefit of being travel easy. I don't take an art college course, but because i take my tablet to record my medical theory, i basically can digitally draw when i have a moment i need to relax.
I'm saving up money right now to buy a tablet but I can't decide (yet) between a Wacom Cintiq 16 and a XP Pen Artist Pro 15.6
Beautiful!!!
Hey laovaan just wanted to let you know that I have liked this video and wanted to know if this is similar to cintiq pro 13 😀😁☺️🙂
Thank you :) Unfortunately I've never used or owned a Cintiq Pro 13 which is why I could only use my old 13 HD (not Pro) for the comparison. The Pro has multi touch and a better pen for example and possibly better color reproduction on the screen so it entirely depends on your budget and whether you'll be using it profesionally.
Of course they fix the chord after I save up enough to get a 13HD last year 😭
Aaaa, man, I want.
I actually bought into the Kamvas Pro 13 thing after it got some favorable reviews, and for being the price it was.
I've been having a genuinely good time with it, but there are just a series of tiny irks with it that have kinda condensed into a headache. Returning it and picking this up in a week or two. Won't hurt to have the extra real-estate either. The 13 inches are workable, but having just a couple more up and down will be much appreciated
Frankly, the Chinese tablets aren't really that much cheaper compared to this when you take the quality, durability, and most importantly, drawing experience, into account.
I had a Huion a couple of years back that suddenly stopped working after 6 months.
I'm seeing good reviews for the new XP-Pen 15.6 Pro. But what keeps me from purchasing it over Cintiq 16 is durability. I intend to use it for a least a few years. Cintiq has a good reputation in that regard, the others are unproven.
Some of those tables are reported to cause issues for left-handed people. Something to consider is you're a leftie like me.
@@tolula9927 Yeah I actually wound up getting the Cintiq 16. Amazon let me return my Kamvas even though I was past my return date.
I got a defective 16 and had to wait another week and a half to get a replacement, which has an annoying speck of dirt under the film over the screen.
Aside from that and I guess the color gamut compared to the Kamvas, much better product. Pen is fantastic, the size feels a lot bigger than I thought it would, only being a couple inches, and the calibration is great.
Really happy with it, will give it another few years for the alternative brands to catch up before I consider them again.
@@AuburnnSkies Glad you're happy with your purchase. I think that's the best decision. You should only be focusing on drawing and painting, not technical issues.
Another relevant difference, depending on what you’re used to and how you work, is that this one has a considerably lower color gamut. If you have a nice normal screen with a great Color range you will notice that this tablet's screen seems more dull. This is probably one of the bigger price factors :)
My boyfriend just ordered me one..Impatient already"Tks for the thorough review!
I love your art!
Is amazing keep up with a great work :3
Tip: use win+P for managing displays, and no need go to settings (until you need change something)
YOUR COLORING MAKES ME CRY
Good for some people but as a novice 5 years into digital art, I need a tablet with 6 buttons minimum and a pen that comes with an eraser. I kinda picky when it comes to such things.
almost at 500,000 Subscribers! :D
Wow its amazing. Idk I should buy this Wacom Cinitig 16 or isn´t worth it?
Because my old Wacom Intuos Pro starting bit worn out as well.
Can you please test out the iPad pro for art? ❤
If Apple sends me one :D
@@LaovaanArt 😂
@@LaovaanArtGood video ! You are a very popular and famous youtuber artist , send a mail to apple and try luck !
@@CristalZhaduir I would have loved using the Ipad for drawing, quite happy with Procreate. But they just don't have all my MUST need apps :(
Captain Krunk like which other apps? I'm thinking about getting an iPad Pro 12.9 3rd gen and apple pencil
Hi man! I've got a question. Why is this 16" cheaper than the 13" (latest model)? I just don't get it! hahaha
Likely because it has fewer features, which is what I talk about in the video :)
@@LaovaanArt Yeah, I kinda get it. But they both have 8124 levels of pressure. I think it's just weird overall... The 16 looks so much better.
@@7337matt Laminated screen is missing. So. ...you can get other 16 inch ones cheap
Matthew B. The 13 is the pro version. Besides the extras Laovaan mentioned it has much better color range, higher resolution and probably something else I forgot. I suggest looking at a tech review for details.
I bought my cintiq 13 HD 3 years ago and I paid 864 dollars but I am really comfortable by how it performs
Yeah, I paid about that same I guess, and it still works find 👌 would have love a more secure cable connection though, cause I am always afraid of breaking it :'D
Laovaan not gonna lie my laptop and tablet never coincide on connection sides so the cable is always bending I am hella scared that one day is gonna break and never work :’v
@@LaovaanArtOn my desk this isn't generally a problem, but it is a bit messy. but I wonder if the expresskeys would still be useful if you put the tablet the other way up with the buttons on the other side? It'd fix the cable being in the wrong place issue anyway. :D (but the buttons would be on the wrong side I know.. possibly ok tho?) It's got me curious enough to try it in left handed mode anyway, having to do hand-crossover occasionally might not cause any problems. It's already made my setup look neater, at least!
I really like Wacom. They never disappoint me :)
How is the connection with the 3-in-1 cable? Is it wobbly as the Cintiq 13HD connector?
I'm struggling to find information on this, which I think is a huge issue with Wacom. They have a long history of really crappy connectors that break loose inside the devices and pretty much bricks them.
Thank you for your video! Among all the others on youtube, I found additional information there, such as about the latency, or that the tilt sensitivity of the pen is a nice feature, but useless, if the software does not support it. Or the short sequence, where you adjusted the γ-curve of the pen: There were a few options for the software in use, and "others". Hence. I wonder, which software maxes the capabilities of the tablet and the driver. Which one do you use? Very helpful video, and thank you again!
great review Laovaan ! .. Im debating myself what to get .. if this cintiq 16 or a huion (the kamvas 20inch or the 22 inch) .. taking the size out of equation .. maybe you remember how was the feeling drawing with huion gt 220 v2 ? how it compares to wacom new cintiq pro pen 2 Im an owner of a cintiq companion 2 with 16 gb ram an an i7 (I bought it second hand) and I have an ipad pro 12.9 Im feeling way more comfortable working with the apple pencil .. and maybe Im wrong but in my opinion one of the keys here is that wacom took out the very thin filament acrylic glass (?) of the cintiq pro 16 and replaced with just regular ( 1 or 2 mm. millimiter ) glass like on regular cintiq 13 hd . of course this is my opinion .. for some people this would not represent a big deal.
Yep found him yesterday and haven’t watched anything else since. Also scroll through the comments for some advice... or for the laughs.
Wacom Cintiq's are currently considered the gold standard but their monitors and tablets start at over $600 new so that is out of the question for most people and definitely not worth it for a beginner.
I suggest getting this XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro drawing display, wider color gamut of 88% NTSC and laminated screen Compare to Wacom cintiq 16.
I believe you forgot to mention that the screen has 72% of NTSC color gamut, which is quite important factor
I would love one of these! . Hopefully one day.
Feck yeah , just got Cintiq 16hd before Christmas...
I've got Wacom device drivers conflict too. I use Bamboo ink on Yoga 520, and then I install the Citiq driver on it. Bamboo Ink started to behave weird and I need to restart the PC after a few minutes to get it back to running.
Browsing through and saw ur video , this is awesome ! New Subcriber !!
this is more than enough for me, coming from $100 Bamboo Tablet.
Is still use my Wacom Bamboo Fun from like 2010, and it works just fine :D
I can relate. Intuos user here, the old intuos creative generation.
We love a good Dabi drawing
Happy teusday 2019 guys hope ur day is gr8!
oh my- that drawing of dabi though ;0
Him: messy sketches
Me: MASTER PIECE
Do you make your own line art brushes? Or did you get them from somewhere else? Can I buy/download your brushes if you made them and if they are available?
Dabi in the thumbnail
*sees dabi on the thumbnail* MUST.WATCH.
not related but your hair is so cute!!
I'd consider getting a drawing pad, but considering how I'm not super informed about them atm (aside from this vid, very informative!) and the lag on this tablet isn't inspiring, I'll prob wait for a future drawing tablet that is even more affordable with less lag.
*I just came here For Dabi QwQ*
*I still Watched it QwQ*
I personally recommend the Huion Kamvas 13 HD, it's 300€ or 310$
I almost didn't watch this because I've seen so many reviews for the cintiqs and I'm kind of tired of it but then I saw dabi and just cLICK
Seems more affordable but pen is too thick for my hands. I hope they'll make classic art pen pro version.
Dabi!!!!!! I saw him and needed to click 🖤 he is my baby
I have a question: Does the Wacom Cintiq 16 have a paper feel? Like any tablet with a screen, do they still have that rough texture feel?
Is there a way to spin the drawing it if it isn't a touch screen? I draw on my phone, and the most of the apps allow you to rotate the drawing.I've never used a screen like this, which bothers me, but if it's like drawing on paper, it should be fine right? What are your thoughts
hank you so much for the review it was truly helpful. ❤
Hi Laovaan, I really want to know if this cintiq works with autodesk sketchbook pro? I would like to buy it for my birthday 🤔. Thanks a lot, I love your videos so much!!
I personally love my Gaomon 1560. It's cheap and gets the job done :D
Ahh so good ❤️❤️❤️
How do you like the screen color and brightness? I use a UGEE at work and the screen resolution, color, and brightness are horrid. The Yiynova I used to have at home wasn't much better. (plus both have smooth glass surfaces and I want the etched feel of the Wacom) I don't mind not having express keys as I don't use them, but I don't want to always have to color proof art on my iMac screen because the tablet color space is so far off. Thank you for your time!
tbh even though it's the cheapest cintiq I would rather for budget artist to buy an alternative like huion. Yes Wacom has premium quality that I have experienced but if you're a budget artist that is starting out I would recommend buying an alternative instead.
Hello! I have a question .. to use the tablet in question I must necessarily keep it connected to the computer !?
Mhh, the missing express keys are a huge turn off for me, they are crucial for my work flow.
Tbh, 600$ for a display with (good) pressure sensitivity is a lot. You get a tablet for painting, changing the height and expresskeys are a must if you are spending that much money imo.
Nice Dabi fan art
XP Pen has a 16 inch display for around 400 to 500 USD.
Hey laovaan, do you know about (if there are) any website where you can sell art before you're 18?
Me: just ordered one
Me: this better fucking be good
Perfect. They finally realized they were taking a hit on sales by the competition. Now huion and company will have to:
A) Improve quality to wacom standards (I love xp pen and huion, I'm not saying they are trash)
B) Drop their prices
See guys? This is why competition is good for us clients.
“only 599”? When I started drawing, back in the years, I did not have more than 50€ to spend and when I’ve managed to buy my first basic Wacom which was about 80€ I had to work a lot to allow myself those 30 extra bucks ( I was even very young and I was studying). Now I own an iPad Pro ( I’ve received as a gift for my 25 years cause I could still not afford that), and I have to say that these tablets are complicated and starting with one of these is not necessarily the best option. I felt bad when I was younger that I could not buy a more expensive one but now I’m glad I did and that I’ve practiced with the basic ones before spending even more than 100 when I was still learning the first steps of the digital art. This said, 599 is still a lot and if you cannot manage to buy it don’t feel bad about it and look for even lower prices and used ones. And I still use, besides my ultra powerful super expensive iPad Pro, my lovely 80€ Wacom who still did not leave me after all my angry first sketches and god only knows how much I’ve scratched it. Not only that but I own even a cheap less known brand which still works great. ( which was around 45€) I just wanted to share my story cause I see a lot of people in the comments saying that they still cannot afford these “cheap” versions of great tablets but don’t worry, look for alternatives cause the only thing that matters at the end is drawing and you don’t need necessarily these type of things to do it. I did invest tho in programs before buying expensive tablets cause the better the program, the more you can do to your works. Hope it helps ⭐️
Yeah I agree, I started with a graphire 4 back then, and went over bamboo to intuos to the cintiq13hd and it took over ten years to use a monitor tablet. Last year I reviewed the new intuos mediun tho, which is the new gen of bamboo. And the comments where all beginners complaining they wanted to start with a monitor tablet. Thats why I included, that while I wouldnt recommend it to beginners because of the price, its still an option in case you need to work on a screen. Because the demand nowadays for such tablets is just higher than ever ^^
I was wondering about the power cable ? I live in a country with a different voltage than america, so if I order one, would they ajust the power cable before sending it ?
thanks
