I'm not in the market for this type of device. But, Lisa, I wanted to thank you again for finding budget and less expensive solutions while maintaining quality. Thank you for great reviews. You are also so much fun to watch--an all-around delightful person!
@@mobiletechreview I am too. :) I'm sold. It's a great entry-level pen display with Wacom's expected quality, and until I can afford and utilize 4k resolution with a Pro 24, it's going to be a great addition to my arsenal. I get to retire my old Intuos 5 and enter a whole new level of fun.
Finally! A reviewer who gets right to the point. No fluffy nonsense repeated over and over. No need to scan forward to the part you came for. Really a great review - thanks Lisa for taking the time to do this.
Thanks for the review -- Just got one after years struggling with the lap/intuos method and absolutely love it -- my first day after I erased I flicked away "eraser" bits and laughed at myself, it was just such a natural transition my mind was tricked.
Brilliant review! Thank you so much for being such a great presenter and keeping this so feature-focused. You've helped me decide to pick one of these up ASAP.
Wow, thank you very much! I was about to buy a Huion, but after seeing that, I'm going to buy me this new Cintiq. Plus, due to the fact that the ExpressKey remote is compatible with this model...oof! It's everything I need. Edit: Purchased and tested. Sweet tablet for drawing, but I still prefer Intuos for 3D stuff. I've been using both now.
Thank you ma'am for the awesome review. I am as much as happy as you with this wacom's new product. Hopefully, we can get more iteration in the future such as around 20-inch display.
Wacom are the “golden standard’ of tablets, YOU are the golden standard of reviewers 🙏🏼🇬🇧Wonderful review Lisa. I’m buying one of these next week.

Huion is beginning to offer laminated etched glass models with same sensitivity and resolution, tilt-enabled and battery-less pens and stands included at about this price point.
Yeah, I currently have the Huion Kamvas 13. The etched glass and HD display are great. Also cheaper than the Cintiq 16. The only thing Wacom still has over the competition is the stylus. By that, I mean the functionality. We'll see how far that goes.
i always trust your reviews for big purchases. got the surface book to start my screen tablet journey based off your review 5 years ago, now i’m upgrading to a cintiq 16 based off this one :) thank you so much
Thank you. I have been a long time Intuos user, and hate the parallax issues on the Clinton. I heard the pro version has less parallax issue, but I also don’t like the fan, so I am debating between the 16 and the 16 pro version. Thank you for taking the time to review this.
Thank you very much for your review. I just started drawing as a hobby, and I have been trying to decide whether to buy Cintiq Pro 13 or Cintiq 16. Though I think I will be missing that multitouch zoom-in and zoom-out, I guess I can get used to what I have.
I've just ordered one of these - i have tried all the others - Gaomon, Huion, Parblo, and XP-Pen - and I always felt that they were missing something. Your review has made me happy that I made the choice to go with the Cintiq 16 (not pro), and now I can't wait to start creating!
Excellent review. XP-Pen is about to release one at the same size with laminated display, stand included, express keys and a new pen with tilt support. Why I would I want this? I've got no issues with the XP-Pen or Huion pen at all, they work fine. The parallax is as much as the alternatives. Others showed it up close and they all noticed it was quite apparent.
Wait really, holy shit, XP Pen sure is bomb! I will sure be checking it out if my Intous ever dies! XP Pen and Wacom are my favorite brands! Huion sucks though
I'll be posting a review of the wider gamut 16" XP-Pen Artist 16 Pro v2. I can tell you, having them all in-house, that the Wacom has significantly less parallax than most of the competition (I suspect the wide gamut laminated XP-Pen Artist 16 Pro v2 will do better than previous models though).
You would want this mainly because of the pro pen 2 (it's the best out there) and Wacom's software. I applause Wacom's endeavor into going cheaper, I never saw it coming.
Thank you for the review! I'm definitely late to the party, but with this I'm sold on going for the Cintiq 16 for my first device on transitioning to digital. Yeah, it's a bit much for a first time user, but I wanted to get something nice for myself too! :D
I want to see this tablet and others disassembled. Because no ones does that, even though that reveals some really important notes about build quality. Because performance is important, but so is the quality of the construction of the device. Like are they using cheap capacitors, do they proper attach imput ports to the board, and more. After all if you are spending hundreds of dollars on something, don't you want to know it will actually last?
Really well done review with great info, I've been watching reviews to try and make my mind up on which brand/one to buy and now I'm going with the wacom cintiq 16 pro. So thank you for the great vid
been using my Wacom intuos 3 for years, finally decided to get with the times and check out these contraptions. I guess anything I get would blow my mind. LOL Ive been doing sketch books and scanners, so I think I will get this one as opposed to the $1500 pro. Thanks for review.
And how long does this protective film last? When it gets so scratched you can no longer clearly see the screen and how much does the replacement film cost?
Not sure if you're still searching but many say that wacom may be more expensive but they're built to last and have a better history of lasting long. So pay for premium and get premium
Thank you for another fantastic, in-depth, well-informed, and honest review. I'm on the fence. It is everything I want, but I frequently zoom and rotate, touch makes this easier. Will make a decision soon.
Awesome job! As an aspiring artist, this was super cool to see! Glad Wacom is FINALLY thinking about their not-so-rich buyers (even if I STILL think the price for this is high, lol)! That fanart(?) for a video game (I'm guessing Far Cry or something like that?) you made is INCREDIBLE, WOW!
Is this compatible with a Mac desktop running os 10.15 ? Is it compatible with iPads or MacBooks? I don't know anything about this world but trying to set up a station for my daughter's and budding artists Trying to decide between a Wacom setup or a iPad set up. There is so much information and options, it's overwhelming Thank you truly for your time. ❤️ Love that you are left handed.
Thank you for this. Very useful. I note that the Wacom site does not have any screen protectors for this model - well, I can't find any LOL. Hope my 2nd hand Cintiq 16 when it arrives next week does not need one 😁😁
I wish I had known this was coming out, I purchased a Cintiq Pro 13 in the black friday sales as I couldn't afford the 16. I also have a Huion but the drivers don't work with my PC and my macbook as the pen is always stuck on eraser with the huion. The cintiq pro 13 is only standard HD and this new 16 is also only HD but you benefit with larger screen size and cheaper price than the pro 13 :(. If I had known would defiantly have purchased this instead!
Lewis Gilbert well to cheer you up, with the 13 pro you get 1440p resolution on a smaller screen so the ppi count is higher. You get touch input so you can pinch zoom and rotate (a feature I use a lot), and can’t use on this product. If you are using a Mac the USB c cables mean less dongles action. I use software that needs usb dongles to work, I like to plug it into my Cintiq instead of computer, and the pro models let you do that. The pro models have no airgap, this one does. Although I see everyone generally giving positive reviews for this product, they did cut back a lot, and not sure how those out dated Calle solutions are actually cheaper? Wouldn’t a single usbC be cheaper for them in 2019?
I'm thinking about getting the 13HD version since they dropped the price now to $599.95. I really am trying to brush up on animation and digital painting. Since the 16 Cintiq sells the Express keys separately.
The cintiq 16 has quite a bit of parallax in comparison to the much cheaper kamvas pro 16. I had to go through returning and buying them both to find that out. I'm going back to the Kamvas pro because the parallax is like .5 mm vs the 2 to 3 mm on the Cintiq. Anyone here saying the parallax isn't an issue isn't doing precisely line tracing. No matter how many times or ways I attempted to citrate the Cintiq my lines were off by a millimeter in the corners. I had no issues with the Kamvas, although the Kamvas ended up losing calibration and I couldn't get it back to being accurate. I'm getting another Kamvas sent to me and trying it out on a different computer to see if I have better luck. The Cintiq has a matt finish yes, but it definitely does not feel like paper. I also find it very hard to believe the experience on the cintiq pro is the same, given it has bonded glass and near zero parallax. I'm hoping my next Kamvas stays calibrated or I won't have any other option but buying the cintiq pro for 2 grand!
Thank you for the review Lisa, I have the Huion Kamvas 13 but it just doesn't "feel" right. Had a 13HD for a few years before selling it to a friend, now I'm probably going to get this since the 16 pro is a bit out of my price range.
Great review! I'm curious how easy switching which monitor(s) the tablet's drawing on is without express keys. I often want my stylus to map to my other two monitors between drawing tasks. I was also curious if there's a way to disable the Cintiq display without unplugging the HDMI cable in order to use it more like a standard tablet for more desktop type work.
Hi Lisa, I do display art work for a nature centre, and have LONGED for a drawing pad that I can do my designs, colour set ups, designs for other people and work from home. I know you recommended some free programs out there for artists, but I forgot the place you replied that info in...what do you recommend here? I was thinking of the surface pro, but the drawing area is not as large... However, since I could work without having to plug into another device, it may be better? I just hate how expensive they are. I do love the Wacom size, but since one has to plug it into another device...well, so much for relaxing while drawing!LOL Thanks once again for a great review. I never buy anything any more without looking to see what you have to say about them!:) Nice to find reliable info on the web!! Cheers and have a great day!
Thank you for this review - coming from a fellow left hander! I just bought a Huion Kamvas Pro 13 and I am so disappointed with it (I've tried several methods to set it up for me to use left handed but all have failed) that I'll be returning it. Hopefully I can get hold of one of these instead! :)
I was looking for a cheap one because I’m drawing on Procteate pocket on an Iphone 11 rn and it’s ok, but I want something that feels real and is still cheap so this is perfect
Great review! With the Pro Pen 2 and little to no parallax, I’m leaning towards getting this tablet. I’m mostly going to be working in ToonBoom SB Pro, goodbye to working on my 1st gen iPad Pro through Astro pad.
Wish they released it yesteryear (I know it's hard since Wacom was busy releasing Cintiq Pro)... I just bought Artisul D13 and I don't think it's worth upgrading to Cintiq 16 (and I have no money to buy Pro 16, and my PC do not support it's strange selection of "futuristic high tech" port)
Hi, do you recommend this on newbie digital artist? planning to buy my first drawing tablet and I can't decide weather its wacom cintiq 16 or XP Pen Artist 15.6 Pro
If you want a good tablet for cheap, look at ANY huion tablet. They have simular specs., ajustable stand, and they most cost less then 600 bucks. I got mine for 300. Yes, it has a screen.
one of early birds - i wanna ask tho how abt the visual / display capability or feels? since its ntsc nor rgb. and not to mention its lcd screen instead of led / ips
I have the Xp-pen 15.6 Pro and it is pretty awesome for the price. I got the Xp-pen 15.6 Pro last Xmas on offer, I think I got it for around £230. I am not convinced that paying twice the price for the wacom is going to give me twice the experience.
Hello Lisa, how much do you think of a step-up is this compare with the very old Cintiq 12wx? I've been using the 12wx for many years so I wanted an upgrade now, but don't know whether this model has the amount of improvement that's worth the investment, or I should really consider a major step-up and invest on the 22 (It's affordable but still a very very tight call for my budget that I wouldn't wanna push unless necessary). One thing is I don't ever use the buttons on the 12wx so the 16 is completely fine without them. The screen of 12wx is definitely too small but still usable in my standard, but I don't know whether if 15.6 inches will see much of an improvement since I've yet to experience it myself. Would be really appreciate if you can share your experience and thoughts on this.
Lisa, I was going to purchase based on your review but then XP Pen announced the Artist 15.6 Pro with a laminated screen and pen tilt. This would seem to solve the parallax issue that you didn't like with the prior XP Pen offerings. It also appears much lighter than the Wacom and has a USB-C cable for a less cluttered wire situation. Are you planning on reviewing the Artist 15.6 Pro? Would love to know what you think before I take the plunge on one of them. Thanks again and I've been a long time reader/viewer!
Any news on whether Wacom are going to bring out a budget model in the 20-24 inch range? I'd like a larger screen, but I can't really justify dropping 2k on a pro 24 as a hobbyist, and the current wacom alternatives in that range don't really appeal to me.
i am not an artist and have no intention of buying this product, but i watched this entire video. there's something captivating about the way you talk apparently LOL
Lisa, I saw the review for apple apps for drawing/painting, do you have one for windows computers at all? I would like to know what is your fav. draw paint program that is free? Any hits here? I can't download and try out a ton of them. So far, I have tried Inkscape, but hate it that it does not really have any brushes like GIMP , just that pen one that is a PAIN to use...thank you!:) And thanks for another great review, and looking into this one when our Canadian money gets back on track!LOL sheesh. Corvid 19 sure put a huge damper on buying things!!:(
First of all, thanks for the throughout review. How would you grade it compare to XP pen 22pro? It’s said that XP 22pro have higher gamout ( 77-82% RGB) but in every review I’ve seen on RUclips it break into pixels. I’m considering buying either Cintiq 16 or Xp pro 22. They’re about the same price. No doubt the pen performance on Wacom top notch, but how about displaying and performance? I’m thankful for any answer!
Gosh, I'd love to upgrade from my old Wacom Bamboo Pen&Touch but I would need to win that lottery. Maybe one day... I've tried going for a cheaper Chinese monitor/screen tablet but the distance between the pen and the screen where the lines showed up was so jarring that it was a huge disappointment and I returned it. :/ Sadly it seems like only Wacom knows how to make these in good quality. Thank you for the review! That's exactly what I needed. :)
I really wonder that there is a white circle which is tracking pen movements, how can this possible, what is the technical detail, is this about a sensor or software ???
Very nice video, that was so helpful, thank you so much. Do you know if this tablet can be used as a regular Intuos? I mean, turn of the screen and use it with the regular monitor?
wacom should sell it at $500 I mean wothout stand and xpress key ... look at that thick bezzel omg ... yes pro pen 2 is the best ... but those is not made in Japan anymore, so they could be less greedy :D
Well, I'm quite sure for this price point it has by far the best pen experience you can get. Sure, the accessories for some of their competitor's products are better, but the quality of the drawing itself is unmatched in that price region.
I don't get why people care about express keys when you are better off just using your key board with your off hand. That way you have full access to all the shortcuts, and just more options.
Would you recommend this tablet for editing in PS CC 2020. Most things i see in the video is about drawing. I only ( at this moment ) use it to edit photo's or combing photo's. Thanks for the video and response.
I'm looking for a mid range drawing tablet that also has a 'tablet mode' function like the Cintiq Pro's. So you can use the tablet with the screen off like a standard tablet device and use the main monitors to review your work. Do the XP-PEN, Huion's or Cintiq 16 have this option?
Hello from Scotland. Thank you for this review, it was really helpful. I'm a new Web Design business (just self-employed) and thinking about getting something like this as want to design websites using something like this rather than a mouse. I'll also offer logo designs etc. I think I just need to work out if this one or the pro is the one I decide on. Hope you are safe and in good health. x
Hello Lisa, thanks for the review, very useful (although I did not understand everything, I'm Italian 😞). I have a question: I have an awesome Cintiq 21UX from 2012 but, now, for reasons of space and weight, I have to change it. Is this new Cintiq 16 better, the same or worse than my UX? I refer specifically to the colors because I use Photoshop and Painter to paint realistic images with many colors and accurate shades. Thank you, I hope so much in your answer.
I use a 21UX as well and this appeals to me for it's smaller form factor (for portability). It seems like a sideways upgrade though as it has practically the same features (minus the buttons) of the 21UX. It doesn't seem like a downgrade to me. OH and you get that new sweet sweet pen from wacom with this model.
Thanks for the review. I currently use a Wacom Cintiq Pro 13 Creative Pen & Touch Display (older model) . Would this new 16" non-Pro version be an improvement? Thanks!
I'm not in the market for this type of device. But, Lisa, I wanted to thank you again for finding budget and less expensive solutions while maintaining quality. Thank you for great reviews. You are also so much fun to watch--an all-around delightful person!
Thank you! And I really am so happy that Wacom made this product.

glad you put "affordable" in the description with quotes.
I mean, it's not cheap, but compared to other Cintiq models, it's affordable.
@@runbaa9285that’s not how that word works.

I would love to buy this but unfortunately I haven’t drawn more than a stick figure in the past 30 years
Never too late to start :)
Indeed, never to late to start drawing again! There are many tutorials on youtube.
never to late too start!
Me
I wish that was all I knew how to draw, would of saved me a ton of money wasting on these tech.
This has to be easily the best tablet review I've seen. It gets right through all the details I'm looking for. Thanks a ton!
Brilliant review! Thank you so much for being such a great presenter and keeping this so feature-focused. You've helped me decide to pick one of these up ASAP.
Finally Wacom was pushed enough to release a "budget" tablet. I’ll probably consider getting this once I get my desktop setup renewed.
Wow, thank you very much! I was about to buy a Huion, but after seeing that, I'm going to buy me this new Cintiq. Plus, due to the fact that the ExpressKey remote is compatible with this model...oof! It's everything I need.

This is absolutely something I was waiting for. I can't wait to get my hands on one soon...
I was about to buy a Huion yesterday and I saw this beauty. Good reaction from Wacom before Huion eat the market.
KOLsm ART worse screen, worse pen and smaller
Thank you for taking the time to answer pretty much all the questions one could ask about these products. These reviews are a service.
Wacom are the “golden standard’ of tablets, YOU are the golden standard of reviewers 🙏🏼🇬🇧Wonderful review Lisa. I’m buying one of these next week.

Morally Bankrupt touch is a bit finicky on the pros most artists turn it off

Hi Lisa, I do display art work for a nature centre, and have LONGED for a drawing pad that I can do my designs, colour set ups, designs for other people and work from home. I know you recommended some free programs out there for artists, but I forgot the place you replied that info in...what do you recommend here? I was thinking of the surface pro, but the drawing area is not as large... However, since I could work without having to plug into another device, it may be better? I just hate how expensive they are. I do love the Wacom size, but since one has to plug it into another device...well, so much for relaxing while drawing!LOL Thanks once again for a great review. I never buy anything any more without looking to see what you have to say about them!:) Nice to find reliable info on the web!! Cheers and have a great day!
Great review! Nice style, delivery, and information.
Just ordered it. It will come tomorrow. I am soooo exited!!!
Thank you for this review - coming from a fellow left hander! I just bought a Huion Kamvas Pro 13 and I am so disappointed with it (I've tried several methods to set it up for me to use left handed but all have failed) that I'll be returning it. Hopefully I can get hold of one of these instead! :)
I was looking for a cheap one because I’m drawing on Procteate pocket on an Iphone 11 rn and it’s ok, but I want something that feels real and is still cheap so this is perfect
Must it be connected to another device before it turns on??
I don't even care about the Cintiq, I just like hearing Lisa's voice and her reviews xD
EXCELLENT review, thanks so much.
Great review! With the Pro Pen 2 and little to no parallax, I’m leaning towards getting this tablet. I’m mostly going to be working in ToonBoom SB Pro, goodbye to working on my 1st gen iPad Pro through Astro pad.
Wish they released it yesteryear (I know it's hard since Wacom was busy releasing Cintiq Pro)... I just bought Artisul D13 and I don't think it's worth upgrading to Cintiq 16 (and I have no money to buy Pro 16, and my PC do not support it's strange selection of "futuristic high tech" port)
great videos as always!
I've found one of those for 240£ do you think is still good in 2022 and also for the price? thank you for your time🙂
Hi, do you recommend this on newbie digital artist? planning to buy my first drawing tablet and I can't decide weather its wacom cintiq 16 or XP Pen Artist 15.6 Pro
I hope they release a 20 inch too! I'm fine with 1080p HD
If you want a good tablet for cheap, look at ANY huion tablet. They have simular specs., ajustable stand, and they most cost less then 600 bucks. I got mine for 300. Yes, it has a screen.
one of early birds - i wanna ask tho how abt the visual / display capability or feels? since its ntsc nor rgb. and not to mention its lcd screen instead of led / ips
What's a better buy? Cintiq 16 or cintiq pro 13??
I have the Xp-pen 15.6 Pro and it is pretty awesome for the price. I got the Xp-pen 15.6 Pro last Xmas on offer, I think I got it for around £230. I am not convinced that paying twice the price for the wacom is going to give me twice the experience.
Thank you for the review very informative. Any advice for software and possibly starter book for my 16 year old son??
Hello Lisa, how much do you think of a step-up is this compare with the very old Cintiq 12wx? I've been using the 12wx for many years so I wanted an upgrade now, but don't know whether this model has the amount of improvement that's worth the investment, or I should really consider a major step-up and invest on the 22 (It's affordable but still a very very tight call for my budget that I wouldn't wanna push unless necessary).
One thing is I don't ever use the buttons on the 12wx so the 16 is completely fine without them. The screen of 12wx is definitely too small but still usable in my standard, but I don't know whether if 15.6 inches will see much of an improvement since I've yet to experience it myself.
Would be really appreciate if you can share your experience and thoughts on this.
Lisa, I was going to purchase based on your review but then XP Pen announced the Artist 15.6 Pro with a laminated screen and pen tilt. This would seem to solve the parallax issue that you didn't like with the prior XP Pen offerings. It also appears much lighter than the Wacom and has a USB-C cable for a less cluttered wire situation. Are you planning on reviewing the Artist 15.6 Pro? Would love to know what you think before I take the plunge on one of them. Thanks again and I've been a long time reader/viewer!
Any news on whether Wacom are going to bring out a budget model in the 20-24 inch range? I'd like a larger screen, but I can't really justify dropping 2k on a pro 24 as a hobbyist, and the current wacom alternatives in that range don't really appeal to me.
i am not an artist and have no intention of buying this product, but i watched this entire video. there's something captivating about the way you talk apparently LOL
What a help, concise and enjoyable review!
Lisa, I saw the review for apple apps for drawing/painting, do you have one for windows computers at all? I would like to know what is your fav. draw paint program that is free? Any hits here? I can't download and try out a ton of them. So far, I have tried Inkscape, but hate it that it does not really have any brushes like GIMP , just that pen one that is a PAIN to use...thank you!:) And thanks for another great review, and looking into this one when our Canadian money gets back on track!LOL sheesh. Corvid 19 sure put a huge damper on buying things!!:(
Lisa why don't you go to CES???? Sorry maybe you've addressed this before.
I used to go every year, these days it's not as necessary thanks to the many pre-briefings from manufacturers that I attend.
Still waiting for a review of the HP spectre x360 15.
Any chance you’ll do a review of their 16” pro latest model?
7:07 thank u for this awesome video! Btw how u can open this pie chart / dial black function key on the screen?
Perfectly detailed. Thanks.
First of all, thanks for the throughout review.
How would you grade it compare to XP pen 22pro?
It’s said that XP 22pro have higher gamout ( 77-82% RGB) but in every review I’ve seen on RUclips it break into pixels.
I’m considering buying either Cintiq 16 or Xp pro 22. They’re about the same price. No doubt the pen performance on Wacom top notch, but how about displaying and performance?
I’m thankful for any answer!
How different is the wacom stand compared to huion, which looks like the same as the xp pen ?
This lady knows her stuff. Loved the video.
Gosh, I'd love to upgrade from my old Wacom Bamboo Pen&Touch but I would need to win that lottery. Maybe one day... I've tried going for a cheaper Chinese monitor/screen tablet but the distance between the pen and the screen where the lines showed up was so jarring that it was a huge disappointment and I returned it. :/ Sadly it seems like only Wacom knows how to make these in good quality. Thank you for the review! That's exactly what I needed. :)
great detailed review, im glad wacom decided to make an affordable option
Thank you.
I really wonder that there is a white circle which is tracking pen movements, how can this possible, what is the technical detail, is this about a sensor or software ???
Very nice video, that was so helpful, thank you so much. Do you know if this tablet can be used as a regular Intuos? I mean, turn of the screen and use it with the regular monitor?
No, its a display tablet and only function as one with the screen on.
I have a Cintiq 22HD but sometimes I wish I had something more portable feeling like something I could just lay on my bed and use...
wacom should sell it at $500 I mean wothout stand and xpress key ... look at that thick bezzel omg ... yes pro pen 2 is the best ... but those is not made in Japan anymore, so they could be less greedy :D
Well, I'm quite sure for this price point it has by far the best pen experience you can get. Sure, the accessories for some of their competitor's products are better, but the quality of the drawing itself is unmatched in that price region.
I see people complaining about bezzels on these types of devices, but no one understands that you actually want them to rest your hand somewhere!
I don't get why people care about express keys when you are better off just using your key board with your off hand. That way you have full access to all the shortcuts, and just more options.
@@ALegitimateRUclipsr Well you pretty much just said it, more options. More buttons equals more options.
@@pppianissimo i can get it for 300 bucks from xppen fo the same thing.
Wow absolutely amazing review. Keep up the cool stuff

Would you recommend this tablet for editing in PS CC 2020.
Most things i see in the video is about drawing.
I only ( at this moment ) use it to edit photo's or combing photo's.
Thanks for the video and response.
How is it with editing photos compared to using a mouse or touch pad on a laptop
What else can I do with the wacom cintiq apart from art and editing
well I use it for 3D modeling and just a second pc display in general
I'm looking for a mid range drawing tablet that also has a 'tablet mode' function like the Cintiq Pro's. So you can use the tablet with the screen off like a standard tablet device and use the main monitors to review your work. Do the XP-PEN, Huion's or Cintiq 16 have this option?
Hello from Scotland. Thank you for this review, it was really helpful. I'm a new Web Design business (just self-employed) and thinking about getting something like this as want to design websites using something like this rather than a mouse. I'll also offer logo designs etc. I think I just need to work out if this one or the pro is the one I decide on.
Hope you are safe and in good health. x
I just bought a 191 v2 huion. I wonder how that compares aside from the screen size?
You'd been better off getting the kamvas gt 221 pro.. 191 cool too though.
Hello Lisa, thanks for the review, very useful (although I did not understand everything, I'm Italian 😞).
I have a question: I have an awesome Cintiq 21UX from 2012 but, now, for reasons of space and weight, I have to change it. Is this new Cintiq 16 better, the same or worse than my UX? I refer specifically to the colors because I use Photoshop and Painter to paint realistic images with many colors and accurate shades.
Thank you, I hope so much in your answer.
I use a 21UX as well and this appeals to me for it's smaller form factor (for portability). It seems like a sideways upgrade though as it has practically the same features (minus the buttons) of the 21UX. It doesn't seem like a downgrade to me. OH and you get that new sweet sweet pen from wacom with this model.
Thanks for the review. I currently use a Wacom Cintiq Pro 13 Creative Pen & Touch Display (older model) . Would this new 16" non-Pro version be an improvement? Thanks!
no.
