After using this thing for a year I'm ready to give my two cents. I primarily use the cintiq for concept art and design. I do alot of line drawings and some painting.There is really only one downside I've come across when using the cintiq 16. If color accuracy is a primary concern of yours, this screen will not be able to deliver the same range as a high quality 4k monitor. That doesn't have to be a deal breaker as long as you keep these limitations in mind when working. Chances are, if color accuracy is that important for your work you will already have a good screen to check color anyway.Now for the good. This is an excellent product and a great bang for your buck. You will not regret this investment. It's worth every penny. No matter your skill level, this product can do just about anything you could ask of it. It has all the necessary features you'd want of a pen display and it works great right out of the box. Drawing on this thing is a dream. If your someone who likes the feel of drawing on paper, I think you will find the surface of the cintiq 16 a comfortable fit. It's got just enough tooth on it without sacrificing image clarity on the screen. There is some parallax around the edges, but it never gets in the way of the work. I cannot stress enough how great this thing is for drawing especially. The pen sensitivity is the closest I've felt to working with paper and pencil. It's really shocking how good the pen sensitivity is on this device. If your a stickler for draftsmanship this pen will not disappoint.The screen size is also pretty great. 16 inches seems to be a perfect size for a device like this. It's small enough to move around and store somewhere safe when it's not in use. It's also big enough to work on without zooming in and out all the time. Your comfort level may vary depending on your desk and chair setup, but in my case I haven't really felt the need to buy the separate adjustable stand. The built in legs that fold out on the bottom have been sufficient.The cable connection plugged in the back of the device is beautifuly designed to stay locked in place and not be susceptible to damage from moving the device around. Whenever I'm not using it, It's easy to just pick up and rest it against the side of my desk. It's wonderful.Wacom drivers, despite some occasional bugs, are the best I've used. You will not find a more customizable experience. They really are the gold standard when it comes to pen displays. You get what you pay for with these products. I've used cheaper pen displays in the past and the software was light-years behind Wacom. It doesn't matter how good the display is if the software doesn't work. Period. I've used Wacom products for many years and they deliver a consistent and stable software experience.I hope you found this helpful. It's a great product that I'm happy to own. I think you will too.

The 16" basic model is really all you need if you're a professional digital illustrator or even entry level hobbyist.THE GOOD: Firstly we can all agree the price is the best thing about this. For the first time Wacom made an entry level product to an otherwise premium line of drawing tablets. That's great on the wallet and also the mind if you travel a lot with it unlike when I carried around the $2.7k Wacom Mobile Studio Pro 16" and nearly had a heart attack every time my laptop bag took a fall. I'm not saying it's disposable but you might feel more confident using it as naturally as you'd throw around a sketchbook for what that's worth.It's very lightweight. For once Wacom did a good job consolidating the cords to one main cord from the device which branches into three (Power, USB, HDMI) The power brick isn't too hefty. This paired with a laptop and it's power brick will take up a whole carrying case. I use this on the couch at home and a mere single cord coming out of the back is hardly noticeable. I LOVE that it has two lil legs that pop out propping the Cintiq at the perfect angle. I can't complain enough about trying to find a good stand for the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro. I have a heavy hand and lean into the Cintiq pretty hard and these legs are built to withstand it.Previous Cintiqs have had horrible bezel, understandably partly due to shortcut buttons on the sides but come on. The basic Cintiq 16" model doesn't have any and therefore the bezel is bearable, this doesn't feel clunky carrying it around with a laptop or sitting on my desk. I can even prop it up and slide it into the bookshelf when I'm not using it to save space.THE MEH: As mentioned before, there are no shortcut buttons. I'd personally list that as a pro but some of y'all have grown dependent on them. I have been using custom macro pads and the Wacom Express Key instead for some time so for me it was a great trade off; no buttons, small form factor. Others might disagree.Some would also argue that the screen resolution is a downgrade. I'm used to my Cintiq 22HD so having two devices both at 1920x1080 made it easy to switch between the two. Otherwise I would go from the 22HD to the Wacom Mobile Studio Pro 16" which had some stupid crazy resolution and it messed me up for a couple reasons. I do fine line inking at 100% zoom in Photoshop which looks totally different on higher resolutions. Also the Photoshop UI, menu placement and text size will change depending on resolution. Personally I don't care but if your work consists of editing high resolution photography/painting with a wider color gamut, then reconsider the higher models.THE UGLY: Nothing so far. This is honestly the best Cintiq I've owned. You wanna talk cons? Before this I was an early adopter of Wacom's Companion, their first all-in-one device, and although it failed me on a few levels I figured it was only to be expected from Wacom's first gen tech. Boy was I wrong, after I sat out the Companion 2 and splurged for the unforgivably awful Wacom Mobile Studio Pro 16" it became clear Wacom lost their damn minds. Mistakes were made. BUT these were used as MOBILE digital drawing devices. An important distinction when comparing them to this Cintiq 16" simply as a drawing tablet tethered to a PC. I still use my Cintiq 22HD at home for heavy work mainly because it's bigger and the large scale of the artwork I'm creating. If my back hurts I like to use it on the couch with my laptop. But this beautiful Cintiq 16" is so minimally perfect that if I didn't already have my 22" it'd be my primary device at home as well as abroad.It's clear Wacom suffered some sort of stagnant complacency after having a monopoly on tablet tech for so many years. If I had to guess this entry level Cintiq model is a response to other capable tablet brands coming in hot on their heels. It's a flinching plea to the users who were drawn away to the iPadPro/iPencil/Procreate which I admittedly tried after the Mobile Studio Pro failed so hard. But this beautifully simple 16" model might just do the trick.

The Wacom Cintiq 16 is a solid drawing tablet with a vibrant display, making it a great option for artists. Coming from an older Cintiq 21ux, the screen size and resolution are a nice upgrade, though it feels a bit more compact. The stylus performance is smooth and responsive, but I do miss larger workspace of my old model. Overall, it's a great choice for those looking for a more affordable option with good performance.

El montitor es de buen tamaño, viene con su soporte para ajustar la inclinacion, funciona perfecto aun que algo que no me gusta mucho es la textura, es comoda y te hace sentir que dibujas en algo similar a papel, no como otras marcas en las que sientes que dibujas sobre cristal, pero el sonido que crea el lapiz contra la textura no es muy agradable puede llegar a ser un poco molesto, pero ese es el unico detalle.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.

This is an amazing quality product.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. AThe 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.

Produto chegou antes do prazo, muito bem embalado. Ele é de fácil instalação e seu uso se torna fácil a medida que se vai praticando. De certo é um ótimo up grade para quem já está habituado com a Intuos. Vale o investimento!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.

My cintiq 16 was purchased from the Amazon warehouse. I got it about 80 dollars cheaper, but the cintiq itself was not damaged.Now I'll talk about Pros/Cons about this tablet.Pros:-Top notch pen accuracy-Perfect screen size-Comfortable, Non charging pen.-Easy to read/follow settings page.-No express keys (personally I use my keyboard. I find express keys get "in the way")Cons:-The pen *IS* comfortable, but is rather small. (It's just a teeny bit annoying if anything.)-The colours for my cintiq are more, warmer and/or red-(er)? I calibrated my monitor through the windows settings and still seems to be more red. (I have a friend who has the same tablet and they said the same thing, though they're used to it already since having used another tablet/phone that did the same thing.)- very limited (extra) pen nibs, -- I know you don't really NEED to have a lot of pen nibs to get proper work done, but it just seemed nice to have more nib options to choose from like my old Wacom Intuos Pro Medium had.Overall I'd say it's a 8/10 for me.
