Cintiq 16

I upgraded form a Wacom cintiq 13HD. This is so far a great product, installation easy, really really simple. This is installing on a mac. I haven't tried windows yet.I am disappointed with the lack of accessories on this. It didn't come with a screen protector nor any extra nibs(correction, 3 x nibs are in the pen holder, tug on the cotton loop sticking out from the side of your pad). And you have to buy the stand separately- it's too expensive in my mind. So I didn't get that, but I got a 9.99 alternative: JUMKEET Laptop Stand,Foldable Portable Ventilated Desktop Laptop Holder. It works really well! So I am quite happy with this over the much more expensive alternative.My only concern is that the screen apparently doesn't support felt nibs. Which is a bit... disappointing. I fear that unless this pen screen proves somehow to make up for this rather proportionate downside, I might not be buying Wacom in the future. We'll see.I wanted to buy the pro version, but it was around 3k at the time of writing this. Which seems rather... overpriced. I needed something relatively compact, So I can transport it between my offices without too much fuss.It's a good buy so far, and for what it is it's a good price. Given it's not a budget brand. I like that the horrible annoying buttons on the side of the screen are now gone!The stand I bought also has a nice slot to put your pen on when you're not using it. So in my opinion it's far better than the one offered with the device for a fee of 70+.I will probably add to this review once I have used it for the purposes of digital painting, and drawing technical diagrams when switching between work and personal machines.Edit 28/03/2022: You can in fact use felt nibs on this version! Very happy, drawing is so much easier with felt nibs as the feedback makes adding details all the more easier. I think the device also helps to alleviate tremors? I don't have the most steady hands, and I have noticed a VAST improvement in my ability to draw finer details without wobbly-ness since having used this upgraded version. My only gripe is the pro pen slim. But that's for another review.

I always wanted a Cintiq to do my graphic design job but I never thought it would change so much they way I do my job, it helps in many tasks i wand expecting it to be helpful like video editing for example. About the product it has an amazing built quality, it is a little thick and has very bold borders which before buying I thought it would be a bad thing, but after getting it i changed my mind. It is a very big screen for drawing which in many cases you see yourself resting your palm over the screen, I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing so if it wasn’t thick, and the big borders give you space to rest your palm when you need to reach objects that are close to the edges of the screen. It is very user friendly, a tip here though the first and only change I advise everyone doing is to disable windows ink in the Wacom menu, this will avoid many annoying problems while using it. It doesn’t get hot at all when using it. You can notice a very small part of the screen on the top left part that gets a little warmer, but its not even close to be something that would bother your usage or getting your hands sweaty, the iPad Pro for example, gets very warm when drawing , at least for me it makes my hand sweaty every time. It’s very user friendly and no one should have problems using it. I also though the 1080p screen would be a problem, and honestly, mainly if you never used a 4K Wacom before you wont notice any difference, it doesn’t bother me at all. It also has more distance from the glass to the screen than other versions, but as you have the mouse pointer in the screen you wont notice this too, there are no latency at all, its surprisingly accurate, the pen is just perfect in size, weight, and build quality. The only problem for me is the finishing they have in the screen its a matte finishing that makes it more like a paper when you are drawing avoid some reflections, but it doesn’t avoid reflections that well and it takes away much of the contrast, to have a better understanding on this, if compared to the Paperlike for iPad, the Paperlike is a clear winner in this case. But overall this small problem is not enough, in my opinion, to make this fantastic product any less than a 5/5

This is my first own Cintiq and I have to say it was worth the price. I've tried the old big models at work and those are great, this 16'' has nothing to envy. The sensitivity is great, it feels comfortable for my type of drawing (I'm a traditional designer and didn't buy the stand, just the small legs on the frame are more than enough for me), you can adjust the brightness of the screen, it has a very sharp image and performs nicely the task for what is made for. The only thing that it's a little bit annoying (if you live in a small place and can't leave it on a desk all the time) is the connection, it's using a triple cable in one, the plug to the wall splits in three heads, one HDMI to the laptop, one USB to the laptop and the specific connector to the Cintiq itself. I believe the Pro version just comes with an easy thunderbolt, cleaner to prepare, but well, I'm happy with the product. The package came as you buy the Cintiq in a shop, I would have expected to be wrapped in a second "delivery" box for security because it's a expensive item, just in case the heavy rains in UK, but anyway I had no issues, inside was all wrapped in protection. I'm still getting used to it but experience so far is positive.

I've been studying games art at university and had been saving up all year for a display tablet and am so pleased with this! I was worried about the screen being too small but I've had no issues and feel that I have more than enough room to draw.Obviously, this acts as a second monitor, so that has come in really helpful as well, for having multiple browser windows open without crowding the screen, etc. I wouldn't recommend this for a beginner as this is a lot of money to spend on specialized equipment. If you're just getting started with digital art, I'd recommend a far cheaper Wacom Intuos or a similar small non-display tablet; I remember getting one for something like £50.As for pen accuracy, I've had no issues so far! Super responsive and no lag. Installation is so easy, just instal the appropriate driver from the Wacom website. The cables are easy, too, just plug in your HDMI, USB and power source. If you have an apple computer, note that you should buy a separate thunderbolt cable adapter if you don't have one already so the HDMI can connect. I already had one so this wasn't an issue. Overerall, well worth the price if digital art is something you wish to pursue :)

I decided to go with the 16 rather than the 16 pro because I don't personally need 4k or the touch capabilities.I have used an intous pro for around a year and before that an old wacom bamboo fun for about 4 years.This thing is so amazing to draw on, there is a noticeable difference moving on to a screen tablet. It's much faster to get your lines down, you can go over lines to make them thicker like lining on paper and you don't have to zoom in and out as much. I can really get a sense that this is going to speed up my production of work over the next 3 years.The lack of hotkeys is a bit of a blow but I have set the pen keys to be control - z and space (to move around when zoomed in) The pen is a bit scratchy at first, i thought i was damaging the screen (I wasn't) but i think that was just the nib smoothing down to the way I use it. It sucks but I would recommend the stand as you are more than likely going to want to change positions when working for several hours.Pros-It's wacom, they've always been reliableThe cost, yes it's more than other brands such as huion but again...it's wacomThe screen is large but not to the point of it taking over your deskThe Pen included is the same one as in the more expensive modelsCons-No hot keys on the tablet itselfYou're probably going to need a standUnless you really need the 4k capability I would honestly recommend this to anyone in any field just down to the fact it is so rewarding and satisfying to use. Just proves I won't go to anyone else by Wacom.

I love the product! Even without the touch ability it feels nice using the xencelabs remote with it. It has a big work space to work with and makes me more confident in drawing compared to me drawing on a screen less tablet where it feels nice to draw on but if your art skills struggle to use eye to hand coordination then this is worth the money. Specially with the screen size for people like me who are used to painting on big canvases. The screen does not feel as cramped anymore compared to using the surface book 2 when drawing!The screen never feels hot. Its nice.The only downside is that the default wires are not long enough for my setup BUTT could easily just buy better wires for a fraction of the money you’re spending… still spending more but ya know…OH and the stand that comes with the product was upside down. Had to rearrange it…Had to recalibrate the pen.Ended up getting a Monitor Arm to replace the default mount. Realising the wiring does not look aesthetically pleasing as the wiring is far from the centre mounting area so its hard to hide the wires.Love wacom

I bought this a couple weeks back as an upgrade to the Cintiq 13HD, which I bought for the same price four years ago.The pros:Screen size - you definitely notice the size difference. I’m now happy with having Photoshop open with my canvas and a reference image side-by-side and not feel cramped.Screen quality - it’s the same resolution as the 13HD, but the light is a lot better and you now have various settings for brightness and temperatureCable management - the connector is stored safely in the back so now you have no issues knocking it outPower button position - it’s on the front and easier to press, it’s minor but does make a differenceMore levels of pressure - at first it was a bit weird to draw on this, as it took a lot of pressure to get to full opacity - but after tweaking the curve in settings I have found it to be very good. It makes drawing a lot more responsive and smoother with my old brushes.Cons:Colour range - working in grey you can see it veering towards green, whereas I felt the Cintiq 13HD was going more towards red... it’s not too bad, but I did read the range was less on this than the 13HD - maybe it’s just me though!The built-in stand - love the design of the flip out feet, but it only provides one angle and if you’re painting for many hours it’s not great for your back or neck. I recommend the Wacom stand that you can buy separately - it is over priced, but definitely makes a difference and is better than the stand that came with the 13HDNo express keys - this is the one major fault, as I was so used to them on the 13HD. I am getting used to using keyboard shortcuts, but it’s still annoying. I might have to fork out for a remote, but that is super expensive!Overall - I am very happy with this, if you’re coming from a graphics tablet like a Bamboo or Intuos then do it!! If you’re coming from a Cintiq 13HD then also do it!

I bought the Wacom Cintiq 16 as a present for my daughter and she absolutely loves it! It’s been a huge help with her animation coursework. The tablet is great quality, with accurate colours and responsive pressure sensitivity that works really well. It has an HDMI port so it can project onto other screens, and links easily to a PC or laptop for screen sharing. While it’s fairly large, it’s still portable enough to use on the go. Overall, an excellent, reliable tablet for any digital artist or student.

Vaya por delante que mi opinión es como usuaria habitual de iPad y Procreate, y el uso de mi Wacom está destinado fundamentalmente a hacer 3D y compaginarlo con Photoshop o Illustrator.Cuando voy a comprar algo, soy de las personas que lee todas las reviews, comentarios y opiniones posibles. En este caso estaba indecisa sobre comprar este modelo de Wacom o comprar el modelo de la "competencia" asiática. Vi un montón de vídeos, pero no terminaba de convencerme ya que todos esos vídeos estaban realizados por personas que habían recibido la tableta de manera gratuita y en colaboración con la marca, así que no confiaba al 100% en su opinión.Desde el primer momento sentí que a esa marca más barata se le perdonaban los mismos defectos que se resaltan en la Wacom, simplemente por ser barata. Y si ese es tu caso, es totalmente respetable, pero yo quería leer opiniones objetivas y que las pusieran al mismo nivel como dispositivos para dibujo, independientemente del precio (aunque es lógico incluirlo en la ecuación porque es un factor determinante).Sumado a todo esto, mi ordenador es un iMac de 2011 y me daba pánico aventurarme a comprar cualquier tableta gráfica, pero en concreto de las Wacom había escuchado cosas horribles sobre los drivers, la compatibilidad, etc.Finalmente decidí comprar este modelo ya que, en mi opinión, la diferencia de precio respecto a su competidor, no era tan dispar como para elegir la otra marca sólo por eso. Siempre he escuchado hablar muy bien de las Cintiq, así que quería comprobar por mí misma si la experiencia de uso era positiva y, si no, devolverlo gracias a las facilidades que da Amazon en ese sentido. Los detractores que había en mi entorno, la mayoría, eran usuarios de la otra marca competidora, y acérrimos como en las batallas Android vs Apple, cosa que a mi parecer le quitaba credibilidad porque opinaban desde el fanatismo, tanto para un lado como para otro.El paquete llegó rápido, perfectamente embalado y protegido. Todo el diseño del packaging me encantó y la experiencia de compra y de abrirlo fue excelente. Un punto negativo que debería especificarse en la descripción del producto, es que no incluye un adaptador para un Mac. Hasta cierto punto es comprensible, ya que es culpa de Apple por tener un puerto diferente como el Thunderbolt. No obstante, aunque pueda parecer obvio, debería incluirse en la información del producto ya que muchas personas (entre las que me incluyo) olvidan este detalle al comprar la tableta y, en mi caso, la necesitaba para usarla inmediatamente y no pudo ser. Aún así, el adaptador me costó apenas 10€, no es un precio prohibitivo.La instalación de la tableta fue absurdamente fácil e intuitivo. No hubo ningún fallo, ninguna incompatibilidad con Mac ni ningún problema con los drivers. La enchufé con todos sus cables correspondientes, se empezó a descargar la instalación y se completó muy rápido. En el pasado ya había tenido una Wacom que no desinstalé y aún así funcionó perfecto y rápido. Quizás tuve suerte, pero en mi caso no hubo ninguna complicación y todo el proceso fue rápido y fluido.Enseguida pude dibujar sin problema en Photoshop. Todo era correcto, tal y como se esperaba según la info del producto y las reviews que había visto.Sin embargo, en mi opinión, en cuanto a dibujo sigue ganando el iPad con el Procreate. Pero en este caso yo compré la tableta para usarla con 3D, cosa que no puedo hacer desde el iPad para usar el programa que necesito, así que es perfecta para su uso. Todo lo que se prometía en la descripción de la tableta se cumple con creces, con lo cual me da igual lo que incluyan otros modelos u otras marcas ya que el artículo está a la altura de lo que esperas recibir.Como digo, se le pueden sacar muchos peros, según tu nivel de profesionalidad o lo quisquilloso que seas. En mi caso, para trabajar de manera profesional con 3D y para estudiar 3D, aparte de usarse con Photoshop o Illustrator, el producto es correcto y adecuado a su precio.Compré el tamaño de 22 pulgadas y es INMENSO, el cambio respecto al iPad fue muy grande ya que me encontré con una zona de trabajo superior y amplia, me encanta.Respecto al soporte, a mí me parece suficiente el que trae, pero es cierto que depende de las horas que tengas que dedicar al trabajo o la postura que adoptes al trabajar, quizás te sería más cómodo comprar un soporte para la pared.En definitiva, si querías comprar una Cintiq (concretamente la de 20 o 22) y estabas dudando, es mejor que la pruebes por ti mismo/a y si hay problema, la devuelvas. No te dejes llevar en exceso por las opiniones, porque al final cada uno deja la opinión que ha tenido en base a su experiencia y no suelen ser muy precisas, como he comprobado por mí misma.

I was thinking of buying the more expensive version, but I am so happy I went with this one - it ticks all boxes and more! Highly recommended!

Every thing is okay now

I purchased a brand new Cintiq 22 on a post-Xmas sale in late December 2022 for about 741 euros. I am very happy with my purchase.Delivery:The delivery took about a week due to new year and post-xmas delays. Cintiq was well-packaged and delivered carefully.Display:There are many reviews on youtube and various sites which say that the screen is no good and a bit milky. Naturally, I was a bit apprehensive at first. Contrary to these reviews, I found the display very comfortable and and very clear. Digital drawing and painting on the 22" Cintiq is a pleasure. As Huion Kamvas had several good reviews, I ended up returning the unit to Amazon as I experienced eye-strain just after 30 minutes of using it. (maybe it was a unit issues I dont know). There are 3 display settings on Cintiq 22 which change the colour temperature. I also use the Cintiq 22 as a normal monitor for working on text documents or watching videos. The display is easy on the eyes and the brightness is sufficient for my needs.Materials and stand:The stand is made of good quality metal and plastic. It was already pre-mounted and it is very easy to operate. Cintiq 22 is made of good materials. There were no smells (unlike the Huion pen display I purchased).Drivers and compatibility:Wacom Drivers installed on my HP Spectre X360 alongside the non-wacom drivers for the laptop running Windows 10. work smoothly and I love the pen. I don't have Photoshop, but I use Corel Painter 2022, Artrage and ClipStudio Paint Pro. Digital drawing and painting is really enjoyable on the Cintiq 22.Screen Protector:I considered a screen protector for Cintiq but i read on the Wacom site forum that it may void warranty. So I decided not to use a screen protector. The main culprit for scratches is when dust gets caught between the pen and surface of the screen. So I clean the screen and the tip of the pen with a soft microfiber cloth and the tip of the pen before I begin drawing and periodically every 10 minutes. Before drawing or touching the Cintiq 22 I wash and dry my hands thoroughly. I also make sure that I roll my sleeve up so that there are no buttons etc that may scratch the pen display.I am satisfied with my purchase.
