There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I was looking for something in the 22 inch range.. but 1920 x 1080 seemed too much of a tradeoff.. I think we are at a point in display technology where higher resolution will become very affordable for companies to incorporate into lower end consumer products. ( much like when flat screen technology and HD first started to become cheap )....
I opted for portability. I really like the Wacom One, but I didn't want to give up the Pro Pen 2.. which is really a major decision point ( unless android is something you must have ).
The Cintiq 16 is perfect.. Light. Drawing area is a standard laptop screen size... the overall dimensions put it at the size of a 17 inch laptop... ( I stopped getting 17 inch laptops because it was not fun lugging around.. and bag selection is not great ). For the Cintiq 16 I will suffer with the size to drag it around.
Setup was easy.. real easy with Windows 10.. I already had the Intuos Pro setup... so my desktop didn't need anything... my laptop wanted a newer driver.. I don't like the cable setup. My laptop does not have an HDMI port.. it is all USB-C... so I had to use a USB hub that Lenovo makes... it had everything on it.. but I had an issue with it seeing the Cintiq as a generic pnp monitor.. ( which I didn't notice utnil the Wacom driver wouldn't let me change display settings. ).. Turns out the fix was easy... I had to do a complete power down of the laptop.. so the hub would reset.. ( took me a while to find this solution.. very common with usb hubs ). But it worked.
The cable though.. I wish there were an option to just get a USB-C cable. I would even buy it as an add on...
The display on the Cintiq and color is not professional grade, but it is good enough. I have my laptop and desktop displays if I really need to tweak a drawing. The HD on a 16 inch looks great.
Lag? I use Corel Painter.. My desktop is high end.. no problem... Laptop is not a gaming system, but it is also not a low end system.. It has an NVIDIA GPU... So no lag either... Could I stream videos and use Painter and not have pen lag... probably not. ( with my Intous Pro I do get lag if I get crazy with having a youtube video up while trying to draw.. with the Cintiq I have had videos up and it didn't lag. might be that Intuos has multi touch ).
one other minor thing I noticed.. The Cintiq looks better if it is an extended display and not duplicated. not sure if it is my desktop system and drivers for my graphics cards.. maybe I need to tweak something.. but it is a cleaner and sharper screen if it is on its own and not duplicated.
Drawing Experience - The pro pen 2 and this screen are incredible. The feel is great.. I really adjusted my pressure curves.. and it is like drawing with a feather. It was not fun and took a while in Painter, but I really played with the curves for the brushes. Even if you just buy this and use this as a drawing tablet and use your monitor... it is worth it. It is a much smoother experience than the intous .. and for me I get more range out of the pen sensitivity.
This does not have multi-touch.. which I like using for navigating the drawing and zooming... This is where I use the Intous Pro.. it makes a nice remote with the express keys .. and the touch ring.. . but I have my multi touch functionality with the Intous pro. and since it is bluetooth I don't have another cord. Not sure if someday the Wacom drivers will complain about this setup.. but for now it is nice.
This a solid product. I think real professional artists might find the color range limiting, but not the drawing experience. Part of the premium price is the pro pen 2, and it is worth it.
I previously had a Cintiq 22HD, and for me the Cintiq 22 is a direct upgrade. I've been satisfied with this product so far, although full disclosure: I have only had it for about a week. I use it for medical illustrations and digital painting. In general, I think if you're a professional who uses a tablet for digital art some but NOT all of the time for work that is intended to be displayed on a customer's device, or a very serious hobbyist who does a lot of digital painting sometimes for pay and sometimes not, then you're probably the target customer for this product.
If you are just starting out with digital art then I think this product is probably not worth the cost for you (yet), and if you're doing artwork for print or game/movie/tv production and can get your employer to buy a cintiq for you, then you should consider getting the pro 24 or 32 instead. Personally, I would have a hard time making the business case for needing such a tablet for my current job, which is why I decided to go with one I could afford to buy as a personal expense instead.
WHAT THIS PRODUCT IS NOT: this tablet is NOT a computer. It is a specialized monitor for creating digital artwork that needs to be plugged in to a computer to work. If that's not what you are planning to use it for, then you shouldn't buy it. Also, this product is NOT a second monitor: you should not leave it turned on when you aren't using it for artwork, if you just leave it on all the time and use it like a regular monitor it will burn out faster.
Pros:
-If you are a wacom tablet user but have never used a pen display before then a cintiq will be a huge upgrade for you, although expect for it to take some time to get used to using it. For me the hardest thing to get used to was not being able to see the part of the screen that my hand was in front of.
-If you're coming from one of the previous generation pen displays like the 22 HD, this tablet should be completely fine. It's smaller than the 22HD, but has more screen area. It's also lighter and doesn't get as hot, and it can sit comfortably on your desk instead of needing to hover in the air. The stand it comes with is much sturdier and easier to deal with than the one that came with the 22HD as well.
-If your computer outputs to HDMI or any lower tier signal then you probably won't have any issues with resolution. Honestly maybe I'm just getting old but I actually had to buy a DVI adapter for the HDMI video cable to hook up to my computer.
-I saw some reviews talking about paralax with this display, but I didn't notice anything serious, and definitely nothing worse than with the 22HD.
-As with all wacom products it's very easy to set up as long as you are capable of downloading driver software from a website and installing it.
-Finally, it is cheaper than the 22HD was 5 years ago, and a great deal cheaper than the Pro 24.
Cons:
-If you have never used a tablet before and are coming from traditional pen and paper artwork, there is going to be a period of time where the tablet will feel awkward to use, but I promise that you will get used to it if you give it time. There is no digital drawing tool that will be easier for you to get used to than a pen display, it is the most similar to pen and paper drawing of all digital art tools.
-If you are used to working with high quality 4k video output then the 1080 screen is going to be a downgrade for you. Also just like previous generations, this cintiq has issues with color matching.
-The stand is very sturdy but it does require that your cintiq sits stationary on your desk and you can't rotate it around in this position. The way it's built also makes it more difficult to attach an ergo arm to it which was easy enough to accomplish with the 22HD.
-Although it is cheaper than the Pro 24 cintiq, it's still a 1200$ piece of equipment and that is probably going to be beyond many people's budget.
-And my final gripe with this tablet, which is maybe being a little nitpicky, is the location and setup of the three (!) cords that it needs in order to work. The power cable, USB cable, and HDMI video cable all plug in to the TOP of the tablet, rather than hooking into the back or side, causing them to loop over and hang down behind the device awkwardly. Also honestly the fact that it needs three separate cords is a lot of wires on your desk. All of this is a fairly minor complaint though: even if one of the cords does get kinked, they aren't that expensive to replace: you don't even have to get them from wacom, it's just a standard high speed usb cable and an hdmi video cable.
In conclusion, if you're doing artwork for a job that involves some digital painting, or perhaps you're a freelancer who doesn't have a gigantic budget, or someone who does a lot of digital painting but isn't selling it for whatever reason, this tablet will be totally fine for your needs without destroying your budget.

Estas son las verciones basicas, simplemente son la tableta para dibujar y el lapiz. No tiene touch. Estan enfocadas para trabajo no para jugar, aun que con 60 hrz de taza de refresco puedes disfrutar de juegos que no requieran de movimientos bruscos de camara.
A única coisa que não me agradou foi o fato da inclinação da tela ser baixa e isso causa um erro cansaço muscular, é necessário o uso de suporte para ficar confortável.
I have used a WACOM pen tablet for years for my photo art in Photoshop and Painter. This is my first display tablet.
I had purchased a HUION Kamvas GT221 which was a much bigger screen, but could not get the screen colour balanced or even close to the appearance of my other main screen. I quickly returned it and bought this tablet.My Cintiq 16 displays colours,contrast and brightness the same as my IMac. The only set up issue was needing to reboot my computer to get the pen and tablet talking with the rest of the computer. Easy set up but worry if one of the wires get faulty the whole cable set up has to be replaced because all 3 cables are fused into a main connector that easily plugs into the tablet.However I have never had that issue with other Wacom pen tablets so this might be a needless worry.
The pen feels like the other WACOM pens, there are no batteries to recharge or replace (unlike HUION ). The tenxure on the screen is natural feel. There is no lag between pen curser and my drawing action. I like that this is not a touch screen as I find even with a glove its easy to set off touch screens and buttons on the side of the screen - which was the problem with the HUION touch screen. I loved the HUION and is more affordable but the quality just wasn't what I could work with compared to WACOM. Cintiq 16.
If space is an issue for you, then you might want the smaller WACOM but it is a touch screen. Download the driver from the Wacom website. Then plug in your tablet. It easily recognizes it....then reboot to get the pen working as well. I also had to buy and HDMI adapter to thunderbolt drive as IMAC doesn't have HDMI connections. A
The stand is extra....GRRR - however it is a quality product as well, but adds to the cost and certainly makes alternatives like HUION very very attractive...but it is what it is for now. WACOM costs...but you do get what you pay for.
I like the amount of real estate for the actual image on the display. (A larger model - 22 inch - would be great...but it comes at a significant higher price....maybe next time!).
Buy what you can afford. Amazon usually has an outstanding return policy that gives you time to see it it works for you.
