Thank you for that last little bit of information about how this Cintiq is not the best choice for you as a video editor. As an illustrator/3D artist, it was valuable that you said this tablet would be best for me. This helped me with my buying decision.
If you buy this and don’t have money for the short cut key remote you could get a standard usb number key pad and program it to be a short cut key for your Wacom tablet
Hey your intro is so cool! I was thinking of buying a cintiq but wasn't sure about it. Thanks for the awesome review! Also, where are all of your subscribers?? 🤔 ❤️
Thanks so much, very kind. You're welcome. In my opinion, this Cintiq is really suited for beginners or artists that want to get started with a pen tablet display. As for my subscribers: This is a fairly new channel and I guess I should do more/more regular videos to have more subscribers :)
@@dublinphotoart it's beautiful but honestly I haven't used it much. I'm just starting to pick it up again. Hopefully you've been having fun using yours.
Thank you Robert for your "elucidating" review.... by watching your review you have helped me immensely in selecting a Wacom pen display.... I am an amateur painter and printmaker so I think I will lean towards this display.... wish to get a Pro version >>>> but do not have the funds.... actually I cannot really afford the Cintiq 16" so will have to restrict my calories for the next few months.... maybe in the future if I am worth it.... Thanks.... :-)) :-))
Hi! Thank you so much for this awesome video; at 2:00, once you installed the wacom cintiq, you cannot use a regular mouse? Someone said two different drives installation one one computer make some errors.
Hi Robert, I see you leaning your wrist on the tablet. I am considering this product in place of my old Wacom Intuos Mac screen tablet which has become too sensitive when touched. Also, if I lean on it in any way, it goes crazy (moving the picture across my Mac Screen). I see the price has come down over the years, so now it can be more affordable for artists. Thanks.
Really good video.Thank you so much for doing this! I’ve had a Cintiq 16 and a Artist 15.6 Pro from XP-Pen. The screen of the Artist 15.6 Pro is smoother than the Cintiq 16 (in the sense that it feels more like glass under the pen). The laminated screen doesn't make a massive difference as the Cintiq 16 has a low enough parallax, but it could be good to have. A simple way to put the difference between Wacom and XP-Pen is mostly just that a Wacom is a more polished product, while a XP-Pen has a better value.
Hey, great review! Thank you for it. I have the tablet now and I'm wondering if it's worth getting the stand. Do you have flexibility to choose the angle that is most comfortable or there are 2-3 options that you can use? In some places the description says angles from 19 to 68°, whereas in other 19 or 68, so I'm confused which one is correct.
I am wondering between Ciniq 16 and Wacom One. I am a bigginer (student), but I want to make graphic illustrations as a profession. Which one is the best option if I want to use the same tablet in a long term?
I have a question: after wacom is connected to the computer, it will be the second monitor and we will use this screen instead of the computer monitor, right? I'm sorry to bother you with this question. I want to use the application Microsoft Teams in combination with Onboard and Wacom Cintiq 16 to teach online, so using a computer screen is indispensable.
Im a newbie artist i don't know if i should get the 22 or the 16 pro. Should i go with the pro? Im going to do drawing, im worried thst the colors wouldnt look good.
I recently moved, and i had to unplug my cintiq16. Now that i am in my new home. When i replugged everything, my cintiq gives me a "No signal going into powersave mode". is there anything i can do?
Does the response time of the pen depend on your computer? Cause mine is kinda old and sometimes laggy so I'm worried that a high end tablet will be useless.
The Cintiq Pro 16 screen is obviously different as it is a different category of tablet. Not sure if the visual difference can be captured properly on camera though. Might give it a try as long as I have the unit.
@@RobertHranitzky Would love to see it as well if posible, my biggest fear for this would be the colours being off enough it affects me as illustrator! I wonder how similar the colours are to a regular nowadays monitor ?
The Pro line has wide gamut screens, which cover almost all of AdobeRGB, while the non-pro 16 are not wide gamut, and only almost cover sRGB, which is around 72% of AdobeRGB. This means that you can get more vibrant colors on the Pro line, but you need to know some basics of color management as most stuff online is still sRGB, and the colors of images that look good on your Pro screen may look dull when displayed on a sRGB display.
Minaxie I wouldn’t use the Cintiq 16 as your main screen and also not to check for final colors and such (if your depends on color accuracy for example for print purposes - after all it is not meant for this anyway and should be accompanied by a second more color accurate display).

Think its the other way around man.. go read amazon reviews on wacom lately.. newsflash - theyre not good. These are customers speaking, not paid youtube advertisers.
@@Kipzi Because Amazon doesn't have Vine reviewers or compensated/fake reviews... Don't even talk about the people that review a product based on faulty units/user error! No, Amazon is not the go-to place to gauge product performance. You don't go to professional environments and see a bunch of XP-Pens and HUIONs. You see Wacoms. Wacom isn't going anywhere.
Invy this is not about the Pros thou. I had two Huions and I was in love with them. Now they even have tilt sensitivity, matt screen and a non recharging pen. For non professionals a great deal... till the wacom 16 came. The great advantage is now the software. Same price still somehow good quality and greater setting freedom.
Can the felt pro pen2 nibs be used on this or are you stuck using the standard nibs? Also any idea how the cheaper screen holds up over time?Just wondering as the screen surface differs from that of the cintiq pro 16.
PLEASE READ THIS SOON AS POSSIBLE, I NEED A SERIOUS HELP, PLEASE REPLY ME BACK THIS TIME! Could somebody, please tell me where the heck do you install the provided driver on wacom.com/start, because it's too many bottoms there I don't know which ones is the right one very well so I have trouble with this unlike I did install my intuos wacom one years ago just easily somewhere I think that did work, because I have a learning disability and I'm bad at figuring it out and I must of clicked the wrong one the download the 2 bottoms saying "download" to do a setting up the wacom 16 cintiq I try hard at the bottom of the page or under saying "Windows" here I went www.wacom.com/en-ca/getting-started/wacom-cintiq and then it neither look like this at 1:53, because none of the users who made the videos didn't show where to install from the website to how to where to click it, me and my mom don't know how very well, we tried to call the store and they don't know anything about it either and they say they had to bring my laptop, that is stupid, I just want to know why I get a no signal on the screen, I don't know what the heck is the HDMI for, I only plug the power and the USB cable on my laptop when I, already have others on my laptop like the mouse stick and a ICAN file storage thing that has my years of saving my favourite images from the internet, since I was 13, but don't know where to plug this stupid HDMI thing just like I don't know where to install, it's not fair, someone, please help me soon as possible, I was sad last week crying that I never gotten, already ready to draw on that new thing yet I want to have fun to try to draw on that thing desperately and I wish this new thing simply has just one cable just like my intuos wacom did has only one cable to plug, but this new thing having three plugs stinks, please help me I don't know how to get it to work very well, please please?? Oh, by the way, I had, already tried to comment about this problem the other day and nobody replies me back, please answer this time?!
Todd10260 My absolute honest recommendation would be to go with the Cintiq Pro. You might benefit from and appreciate the higher resolution when working with photos. Color gamut is also higher on the pro models. So as a pro photographer you’ll need a color calibrated accurate display anyway (so that would make the Cintiq 16 the secondary display). That being said, if you’re on a budget and maybe don’t retouch every photo and use the Cintiq all the time, then you absolutely can work nicely with this one! Maybe you have a store close by where you could try it out? Hope this helps you in some way.
Oh yeah I have a budget! My budget is 115lbs & 5'3" who lets me sleep in the same bed as long as I don't go over the budget!! My current set up is 2 monitors, keyboard, mouse and a Wacom Bamboo which is covered in dust because I can't get my hand/eye coordination to work! I was thinking that maybe this would help with that. Thank you for your honest and quick reply. Thank you also for making this video!

Made my day! :) Alright, if that’s the case then why don’t you try this one - not sure what the return policy is in your region but here we can return products that were bought online within 14 days.

i got my Wacom a little over 2 years now and i tried all the features on it including the hike to change the pen nibs. when removing the starter nib, it somehow fell inside the hole and now i can't use it to remove worn out nibs. is there some way to ever retrieve it or am i forever a nib short?
Does the screen get scratches from drawing? My cintiq 13hd got scratches all around the screen just after a few days of using it... Super annoying, that buying a screen protector is a must-have. Is it the same with the 16?
Stryver good question: haven’t used it in a while tbh. But during my test I noticed what looked like scratches but actually aren’t as they could easily be wiped off. Don’t think it scratches easily as long as the proper pen and nibs are used.
The problem is when you say it has 'Full HD' - this is such a vague term unless you specify precisely what resolution it has, and compare with current standards. You mention at the end, that this would not suit you as you're involved in the video industry, but you say it will be fine for illustrators, and people 'starting out' (whatever that means). I can tell you now, as a professional graphic artist, that the screen resolution on this is not sufficient or good....even by 2019 standards. The two things you should always mention first with tablet reviews, are pen sensitivity (which you did) and screen resolution (which you hardly mentioned at all, like it's no real big deal). Screen resolution is absolutely critical if you are working professionally, it is not just a passing comment. Just my 2 cents.
Thank you for your feedback. At 2:13 I am explaining the physical dimensions as well as the resolution being at Full HD, which by standard is defined at 1920x1080 (and not really vague, sorry). But yes, you are right, I am not speaking out the 1920x1080 pixels - I will watch out for this in future videos. Also I know plenty of artists that create absolute professional work with either this Cintiq or older Cintiq models that feature a similar resolution. Not sure why the quality of work shall be tied to the resolution? Anyway, thanks again for the feedback! Stay safe & healthy and keep creating!
@@RobertHranitzky Hi Robert. The low screen resolution is not connected with creating quality work, but everything to do with user experience. There is a large disconnect using a tablet as a drawing device, when the screen you are drawing on is not high def. Industry standard does indeed claim 1920 x 1080 as HD these days - but this resolution does not (in my opinion) translate well as a HD screen for drawing on. Using a mouse and using a pen on screen are very different experiences. 1920x1080 is distracting, personally speaking. Might not bother others, but the 'pro' 4k version is so much better as a drawing experience - again, in my opinion.
Robert Hranitzky Yes but few that offer 4K at 60Hz, most of them at only 30Hz. That won’t matter in this instance but I prefer to use the adapter for other applications. I just think it should have come with a simple adapter
Ric Drawings I’ve tested it and it’s different compared to the Pro (as is the price). If you look from a rather normal user angle it’s not that noticeable. I recorded a video and might do a follow up.
@@RicardoDizonLefthanded Aaron Blaise in his review says that the parallax is almost non existant, compared to the old generation of cintiqs like the 13hd and the 22hd
I have the 13HD and I don't find the parallax to be an issue at all. I've used an old 21" before, and on that the parallax was big enough to be a nuisance.
it’s bullshit that the stand is so expensive but it seems kinda necessary, especially since my desk is super small and i think i’ll need the stand to minimize the footprint. fine wacom i’ll get your silly stand >:(
I dont mind if they reduce the resolution and quality of the build, as long as the screen is laminated. Sadly it's not, and what makes this less appealing is knowing there are similarly spec but cheaper alternative out there.
(I don’t own any of the products but I watch a lot of reviews) the only difference i see in wacom and the alternatives is that the wacom pen is better for line works, so if line is very important for the artist this “cheaper” model is better than the alternatives; but if it’s for painting where line doesn’t matter as much then there are better alternatives, even with better color gamut. Also wacom has proven themself that their product last for decade ( build quality, at least for me, should be one of the priorities because if it breaks you have to buy another one and you spend more money). Just my opinion, not attacking yours because I was looking for alternatives before but seems like all have some type of line wobbles (i’m more of line art guy).
The screen has a laminated surface what are you talking about (it has a textured film on top of the screen like older models before pro and 27" models had)? Pro models are the ones which do not have laminated surfaces because they have edge to edge glass screens (though the screens are also textured)... Please go read specs from Wacoms site before writing nonsense from products you obviously do not know much about.
The other options don't recognise tilt on their pens, they often have driver issues and use proprietary cables which have been seen to fail quite readily on previous models.
Cables out of date, clunky. Drag delay on pen is awful and districting, resolution terrible. Also no way of removing the tool at end of nib on screen. Save your money. Product is out of date.
@@RobertHranitzky you talked about the height on both ends. I want to know the footprint, to see if I can fit it on my desk, because I have very limited space.
still expensive to me Wacom feeling they are apple should be under 350 to 450$ also this kinda tech is around almost decades no minor improvement in technology and making of pc 800$ sometimes I feel pity for artist community also my self "Greedy Wacom" made in China not Japan
That's sadly the price range where the Alternatives gather around, some a bit cheaper, others a bit more expensive. The 650, is a big leap for Wacom, as it's extremely close to the intous pro tablets now, and quite a bit lower than it's 13" models. The important feat here is that it's the pen pro 2 being used with this, rather than some inferior, lesser version of said Wacom tech, which the bamboo and intous(non pro) versions suffered from. The stylus, which have garnered a lot of praise, rightfully so. attached to a cheaper Cintiq model, 15.6" 1080p pen display, is quite a good spot. I have ordered one, and I'm sure others who will be ordering one, will too for the fact, it's the stylus of Wacom's highest current tech, being used, with a reasonable display size and quality, for it's price. And I'm more a pro alternative guy, and currently using ipad pro 12.9". But with Apple's choice of increasing prices, with a inferior quality product. Wacom's announcement and release of this, comes at a perfect time, for those of us, realizing Apple's didn't know how to evolve the ipad pro line further. Only big question here, will be whether there are issues with screen to tech, if they cut any corners in Q&A ect. Hope not, but time will tell.
@space monkey: I understand your point but at the same time don’t forget that this is a tool - and most likely it will or can be a tool that helps you do your job (better) and earn money. Of course there is different budgets and such, as well as hobbyists and pure artists so there is also a great solution with the Intuos line (no display but still a fantastic tablet)!
@@zycane Just get a Huion or an XP-Pen which offers the same (arguably better) quality in this range for almost 2x lower price... But if you're willing to pay simply for a brand name then go ahead...
@@Solaxe i have had both Huion, xp pen, monoprice, and yiynova. As good their intentions were, their pen stylus never really comes close enough. I were a pro alternative guy once. There are often issues with the alternatives, and I am not talking about the drivers. Pressures areas of blow out, bad psu cap. And the damn jitters, almost all types got it, select few being an exception. Pro pen 2. Is just on another level. Only Apple pencil can compete atm.

@@zycane No jitter on my 8192 levels pen with my Huion GT-220V2. I can't imagine the Pro Pen 2 being nicer in terms of sensitivity and line feel. When Huion inevitably introduce the 16" laminated screen model with the new induction pen with tilt support, it will essentially be the Cintiq Pro for the price of this Cintiq.
JIMMY N Haven’t checked how far back it works, sorry. However it might be more due to the combination of OS and driver (you can’t use CS 6 on the latest OS either).
CS6 should be used with 10.6 or 10.7 according to the system reqs. According to the Wacom driver system reqs, the latest driver goes back to be supported until macOS 10.11 helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs6-system-requirements.html www.wacom.com/en-us/support/product-support/drivers

no touch?? for such price you can buy laptops or tablets with touch and pen input. wonder till when wacon will charge an alunimium foil and some coils more than a pack of complex cpus, gpus, memory hardrives, keyboards, wifi and communication ports, and so on. especially now that their patents are expiring.
@@syedwaleedshah2830 the drawing quality of laptops don't compare to what even this entry level Cintiq offers. It's Very cheap compared to their other series and competes with the 3rd party alternative that are still not as good as the cintiq's they don't offer tilt recognition for instance.
Leowo ok, that is indeed a bit early... hmm there’s student or school discounts at some shops maybe? Or it would make for a good birthday/Xmas present? I was 18 when I got my first tablet (Art Pad II and nowhere close to what current ones have in terms of features - let alone a Cintiq). So maybe an Intuos? Or previous gen?
So at end wacom is following this shitty politic of capitalism companies. New models dont even have shortcut buttons which for me is mental..Why would the do that beside they want to seell you wacom remote. I had 13hd first generation and that one had shorcuts ,stand etc.. Now we dont have stand and buttons??Please next time sell cintiq without pen too and make us pay it 200euros extra…

Huion: "I don't feel so good"
Huion and XP-Pen feel totally good since they offer the same quality for a (still) much lower price :)
@@Solaxe My Huion Kamvas Pro 12 was £249 because of a sale, and their graphics tablets (screenless) go for £50.
Think its the other way around man.. go read amazon reviews on wacom lately.. newsflash - theyre not good. These are customers speaking, not paid youtube advertisers.
@@Kipzi Because Amazon doesn't have Vine reviewers or compensated/fake reviews... Don't even talk about the people that review a product based on faulty units/user error! No, Amazon is not the go-to place to gauge product performance. You don't go to professional environments and see a bunch of XP-Pens and HUIONs. You see Wacoms. Wacom isn't going anywhere.
Invy this is not about the Pros thou. I had two Huions and I was in love with them. Now they even have tilt sensitivity, matt screen and a non recharging pen. For non professionals a great deal... till the wacom 16 came. The great advantage is now the software. Same price still somehow good quality and greater setting freedom.
Hey! I just wanted to know what the adjustable stand was called. I could only find one for the Cintiq 22.
Adjustable landscape stand for DTK-1660 / DTK-1660E / DTK-1651
Can the felt pro pen2 nibs be used on this or are you stuck using the standard nibs? Also any idea how the cheaper screen holds up over time?Just wondering as the screen surface differs from that of the cintiq pro 16.
You can use any of the available tips with it.
Robert Hranitzky it works, but Wacom firmly discourages users to use felt tips on the cintiq 16 to prevent scratches
How are people going to know if it holds up over time, its only been on the market a month or so.
Thank you very much for your good and interesting video.
You’re welcome
About price today, 2020. What do you prefer , Cint 16 pr XP pen 22R Pro Artist ?

PLEASE READ THIS SOON AS POSSIBLE, I NEED A SERIOUS HELP, PLEASE REPLY ME BACK THIS TIME!
Could somebody, please tell me where the heck do you install the provided driver on wacom.com/start, because it's too many bottoms there I don't know which ones is the right one very well so I have trouble with this unlike I did install my intuos wacom one years ago just easily somewhere I think that did work, because I have a learning disability and I'm bad at figuring it out and I must of clicked the wrong one the download the 2 bottoms saying "download" to do a setting up the wacom 16 cintiq I try hard at the bottom of the page or under saying "Windows" here I went www.wacom.com/en-ca/getting-started/wacom-cintiq and then it neither look like this at 1:53, because none of the users who made the videos didn't show where to install from the website to how to where to click it, me and my mom don't know how very well, we tried to call the store and they don't know anything about it either and they say they had to bring my laptop, that is stupid, I just want to know why I get a no signal on the screen, I don't know what the heck is the HDMI for, I only plug the power and the USB cable on my laptop when I, already have others on my laptop like the mouse stick and a ICAN file storage thing that has my years of saving my favourite images from the internet, since I was 13, but don't know where to plug this stupid HDMI thing just like I don't know where to install, it's not fair, someone, please help me soon as possible, I was sad last week crying that I never gotten, already ready to draw on that new thing yet I want to have fun to try to draw on that thing desperately and I wish this new thing simply has just one cable just like my intuos wacom did has only one cable to plug, but this new thing having three plugs stinks, please help me I don't know how to get it to work very well, please please??
Oh, by the way, I had, already tried to comment about this problem the other day and nobody replies me back, please answer this time?!
I am a semi "pro" photographer and by that I mean I have paying jobs. Do you think this is good enough to photo editing in Lightroom & Photoshop?
Todd10260 My absolute honest recommendation would be to go with the Cintiq Pro. You might benefit from and appreciate the higher resolution when working with photos. Color gamut is also higher on the pro models.
So as a pro photographer you’ll need a color calibrated accurate display anyway (so that would make the Cintiq 16 the secondary display).
That being said, if you’re on a budget and maybe don’t retouch every photo and use the Cintiq all the time, then you absolutely can work nicely with this one!
Maybe you have a store close by where you could try it out? Hope this helps you in some way.
Oh yeah I have a budget! My budget is 115lbs & 5'3" who lets me sleep in the same bed as long as I don't go over the budget!! My current set up is 2 monitors, keyboard, mouse and a Wacom Bamboo which is covered in dust because I can't get my hand/eye coordination to work! I was thinking that maybe this would help with that. Thank you for your honest and quick reply. Thank you also for making this video!
Todd10260 Haha that sounds like a lovely budget. Made my day! :)
Alright, if that’s the case then why don’t you try this one - not sure what the return policy is in your region but here we can return products that were bought online within 14 days. So if you’re not happy you return it and all good. If it helps your productivity then even better and everyone will be happy - oh and happy wife, happy life ;)
Does the music make this video better?
i got my Wacom a little over 2 years now and i tried all the features on it including the hike to change the pen nibs. when removing the starter nib, it somehow fell inside the hole and now i can't use it to remove worn out nibs. is there some way to ever retrieve it or am i forever a nib short?
Did you try opening the pen holder? You can twist the metal part to open it to access spare nibs (and your nib that fell in)!
gonna buy one soon
Does the screen get scratches from drawing? My cintiq 13hd got scratches all around the screen just after a few days of using it... Super annoying, that buying a screen protector is a must-have. Is it the same with the 16?
Stryver good question: haven’t used it in a while tbh. But during my test I noticed what looked like scratches but actually aren’t as they could easily be wiped off. Don’t think it scratches easily as long as the proper pen and nibs are used.
@@RobertHranitzky Alright, thank you very much!
Does it lag less than the cintiq pro 16?? I have seen that the pro 16 has higher responase rate, making it lagg more
Lag will only relate to the computer it’s being used on, not the cintiq itself.
Compare with the Cintiq 12wx, is this model a no-brainer straight upgrade?
Apophis STR yes!
@@RobertHranitzky Fantastic, thank you!
Does it work with Photoshop CS6?
The problem is when you say it has 'Full HD' - this is such a vague term unless you specify precisely what resolution it has, and compare with current standards. You mention at the end, that this would not suit you as you're involved in the video industry, but you say it will be fine for illustrators, and people 'starting out' (whatever that means). I can tell you now, as a professional graphic artist, that the screen resolution on this is not sufficient or good....even by 2019 standards. The two things you should always mention first with tablet reviews, are pen sensitivity (which you did) and screen resolution (which you hardly mentioned at all, like it's no real big deal). Screen resolution is absolutely critical if you are working professionally, it is not just a passing comment. Just my 2 cents.
Thank you for your feedback. At 2:13 I am explaining the physical dimensions as well as the resolution being at Full HD, which by standard is defined at 1920x1080 (and not really vague, sorry). But yes, you are right, I am not speaking out the 1920x1080 pixels - I will watch out for this in future videos.
Also I know plenty of artists that create absolute professional work with either this Cintiq or older Cintiq models that feature a similar resolution. Not sure why the quality of work shall be tied to the resolution?
Anyway, thanks again for the feedback! Stay safe & healthy and keep creating!
@@RobertHranitzky Hi Robert. The low screen resolution is not connected with creating quality work, but everything to do with user experience. There is a large disconnect using a tablet as a drawing device, when the screen you are drawing on is not high def. Industry standard does indeed claim 1920 x 1080 as HD these days - but this resolution does not (in my opinion) translate well as a HD screen for drawing on. Using a mouse and using a pen on screen are very different experiences. 1920x1080 is distracting, personally speaking. Might not bother others, but the 'pro' 4k version is so much better as a drawing experience - again, in my opinion.
Do you need a desktop to draw on it?
Yes. It’s a pen display without a computer
I'm only here cuz the host is cute. What's Cintiq again?
So the Cintiq is a.... wait, what? :)
What app is he using
Hi, Is the Cintiq connected to the Computer? Thank you :)

@@muzeyiyelyen6596 im going to start off with a wacom small intous pro then probably switch over to XP pen 16inch.
@@muzeyiyelyen6596 thank you, anyways Im getting better at sketching soo I think I don't need one now :)
I wanted to connect mine to my laptop but it doesn’t have hdmi 😕 only 2 USB type C and 1 USB type A (normal 3.1)
MaZEEZaM there are quite a few inexpensive USB-C adapters that feature a HDMI port. Check that out, it should work well with an adapter
Robert Hranitzky Yes but few that offer 4K at 60Hz, most of them at only 30Hz. That won’t matter in this instance but I prefer to use the adapter for other applications. I just think it should have come with a simple adapter
I only wish that I could afford it... so while it's probably meant for everyone, it's definitely not priced for everyone lol.
how about the Pen parallax compare to cintiq pro?
Ric Drawings I’ve tested it and it’s different compared to the Pro (as is the price). If you look from a rather normal user angle it’s not that noticeable. I recorded a video and might do a follow up.
@@RobertHranitzky thank you. I have used cintiq 13hd maybe this cintiq 16 is more improved parallax.
Ric Drawings I’m not sure how it compares to the 13HD as I don’t have that one, sorry.
@@RicardoDizonLefthanded Aaron Blaise in his review says that the parallax is almost non existant, compared to the old generation of cintiqs like the 13hd and the 22hd
I have the 13HD and I don't find the parallax to be an issue at all. I've used an old 21" before, and on that the parallax was big enough to be a nuisance.
it’s bullshit that the stand is so expensive but it seems kinda necessary, especially since my desk is super small and i think i’ll need the stand to minimize the footprint. fine wacom i’ll get your silly stand >:(
definitely unless you want to mess up your back
I dont mind if they reduce the resolution and quality of the build, as long as the screen is laminated. Sadly it's not, and what makes this less appealing is knowing there are similarly spec but cheaper alternative out there.
(I don’t own any of the products but I watch a lot of reviews) the only difference i see in wacom and the alternatives is that the wacom pen is better for line works, so if line is very important for the artist this “cheaper” model is better than the alternatives; but if it’s for painting where line doesn’t matter as much then there are better alternatives, even with better color gamut. Also wacom has proven themself that their product last for decade ( build quality, at least for me, should be one of the priorities because if it breaks you have to buy another one and you spend more money). Just my opinion, not attacking yours because I was looking for alternatives before but seems like all have some type of line wobbles (i’m more of line art guy).
The screen has a laminated surface what are you talking about (it has a textured film on top of the screen like older models before pro and 27" models had)? Pro models are the ones which do not have laminated surfaces because they have edge to edge glass screens (though the screens are also textured)... Please go read specs from Wacoms site before writing nonsense from products you obviously do not know much about.
@@@TwilightAdvance- Well said!
Von Degurechaff I don’t think you understand what laminated means
The other options don't recognise tilt on their pens, they often have driver issues and use proprietary cables which have been seen to fail quite readily on previous models.
Cables out of date, clunky. Drag delay on pen is awful and districting, resolution terrible. Also no way of removing the tool at end of nib on screen. Save your money. Product is out of date.
what are the other two dimensions of this?
What do you mean exactly?
@@RobertHranitzky you talked about the height on both ends. I want to know the footprint, to see if I can fit it on my desk, because I have very limited space.
@@ckat609 422 x 285 x 24.5 mm (16.6 x 11.2 x 1 in)
@@RobertHranitzky ah, great! Thank you very much!!!
Well I bought it then I found out I need a computer or mac 😫
still expensive to me Wacom feeling they are apple should be under 350 to 450$ also this kinda tech is around almost decades no minor improvement in technology and making of pc 800$ sometimes I feel pity for artist community also my self "Greedy Wacom" made in China not Japan
That's sadly the price range where the Alternatives gather around, some a bit cheaper, others a bit more expensive. The 650, is a big leap for Wacom, as it's extremely close to the intous pro tablets now, and quite a bit lower than it's 13" models. The important feat here is that it's the pen pro 2 being used with this, rather than some inferior, lesser version of said Wacom tech, which the bamboo and intous(non pro) versions suffered from.
The stylus, which have garnered a lot of praise, rightfully so. attached to a cheaper Cintiq model, 15.6" 1080p pen display, is quite a good spot.
I have ordered one, and I'm sure others who will be ordering one, will too for the fact, it's the stylus of Wacom's highest current tech, being used, with a reasonable display size and quality, for it's price. And I'm more a pro alternative guy, and currently using ipad pro 12.9". But with Apple's choice of increasing prices, with a inferior quality product. Wacom's announcement and release of this, comes at a perfect time, for those of us, realizing Apple's didn't know how to evolve the ipad pro line further.
Only big question here, will be whether there are issues with screen to tech, if they cut any corners in Q&A ect. Hope not, but time will tell.
@space monkey: I understand your point but at the same time don’t forget that this is a tool - and most likely it will or can be a tool that helps you do your job (better) and earn money. Of course there is different budgets and such, as well as hobbyists and pure artists so there is also a great solution with the Intuos line (no display but still a fantastic tablet)!
@@zycane Just get a Huion or an XP-Pen which offers the same (arguably better) quality in this range for almost 2x lower price... But if you're willing to pay simply for a brand name then go ahead...
@@Solaxe i have had both Huion, xp pen, monoprice, and yiynova. As good their intentions were, their pen stylus never really comes close enough. I were a pro alternative guy once.
There are often issues with the alternatives, and I am not talking about the drivers. Pressures areas of blow out, bad psu cap. And the damn jitters, almost all types got it, select few being an exception.
Pro pen 2. Is just on another level. Only Apple pencil can compete atm.
@@zycane No jitter on my 8192 levels pen with my Huion GT-220V2. I can't imagine the Pro Pen 2 being nicer in terms of sensitivity and line feel. When Huion inevitably introduce the 16" laminated screen model with the new induction pen with tilt support, it will essentially be the Cintiq Pro for the price of this Cintiq.
Wacom says it won't work with CS 6 and below.
JIMMY N Haven’t checked how far back it works, sorry. However it might be more due to the combination of OS and driver (you can’t use CS 6 on the latest OS either).
Can you link me the source? I'm using CS6 but cant find any source where they state that. Would be a deal breaker.
CS6 should be used with 10.6 or 10.7 according to the system reqs. According to the Wacom driver system reqs, the latest driver goes back to be supported until macOS 10.11

So at end wacom is following this shitty politic of capitalism companies. New models dont even have shortcut buttons which for me is mental..Why would the do that beside they want to seell you wacom remote. I had 13hd first generation and that one had shorcuts ,stand etc..
