Do you have Wacom Cintiq pro 16/13"? I wanna hear your experience

[dexus243]

Hellooooo
if you own a Cintiq pro 16" or 13", i wanna hear your honest opinion as well as experience...are they really worth the price that they have? what are your pros and cons about it?
so I've been considering getting a monitor tablet but i'm having a bit of a problem choosing..
initially i was considering the Cintiq pro 16" but after reading and watching some reviews about it, it seems to be filled with all sorts of hardware and driver issue making it not worth 2000$ aud. as for the cintiq pro 13" it feels too small for me and the price price doesnt seem to justify its size and feature...although I do read a 'fair' amount of good reviews about it...

I also tried searching for other alternatives and i found HUION...now the feedbacks i read about them are mostly positive when it comes to pricing and customer service. but I found out that the monitor tablet that they sell also have all sorts of complication...from problematic parallax,driver issues and colour inaccuracy..(which are all important to me)...they almost made me consider getting one cause the prices are really competitive compared to Wacom's pricing...also I read A LOT of negative feedback about Wacom's customer service...

honestly i'm fine spending around 2kAUD...but i wanna make sure that i get what i paid for.....

hello!
I have a cintiq pro 13 and it's working like a charm! I really like it.
It is quite expensive true, but if this one is like the other wacom tablets, you can have it in perfect working condition for at least a good few years. I recently changed from a pen tablet to a display and this was my pick. worth it. the 13 inch display is a good size, roughly a4, and if you're comfortable with that it will be a good ft for you too.

I hope this helps! ^_^

For dedicated drawing tablets apart from Wacom there is also XP-Pen. They have normal drawing tablets (no screen), and ones with screens. they also have ones with screens within your budget. Ive used a standard one before and they are generally pretty good, a number of their devices also support linux (if that’s a thing you care about). know more you can google it . you can watch review video from youtube .

As for me, I’ve been used for a long time XP-Pen Artist 12 11.6" IPS Pen display monitor , and I found it really good and cheap screen tablet. that’s only $250, if you want to be on a lower budget. but this will allow you to draw directly on a screen for a more natural experience. I’ve been working with it when I needed to create logo of educational website

I have a wacom cintiq 16" and I think it was worth the money. It is quite expensive and the stand isn't included, what would be great. I still bought it tho.
After less than 1 year my cintiq broke, but when I reached out to Wacom they were very helpful and in the span of I think 3 days I got a replacement that was in a top condition and was pretty much brand new, I couldn't find a single sign of it being used before. (it's a refurbished model that was in fact, only opend and not or barely used).
I think you do get your money worth. The display is very nice.

About Huion tablets, I've heard mixed things.( cables that kept breaking all the time or drivers not working etc. but also good reviews of course) I've never tried a huion tablet tho.

Huion is basically crap. One of my friend bought a huion kamvas gt 156 v2 and not only you don't really noticed the 8k pressure sensitivity unlike on a cintiq 16 pro. The pressure sensitivity is also pretty incorrect. If you press sometimes a little more you don't get a gradient in the brush strokes for example but rather like the next big step of a value.
Also we noticed that on the border of the display the pen dosen't match anymore the cursor. That's problematic, if you need to navigate on menus etc. .
Also the 3 in 1 Cable are pretty cheap compared to the 3 in 1 Cable from a cintiq 13 HD. I bend on the huion a bit the cable to get proper cable mangement done and we had an cable break. I did the same for my old cintiq 13 HD since i bought it in 2015 and had not a single issue with the cables.

I for my self bought last week a cintiq 16 pro and running it with a rtx 2080 via usb c virtual link so i don't need this weird wacom link setup and without that the configuration was pretty easy and straight forward. 4k Resolution and a pretty good display to look on the colors are the positive sides.
My problems with the cintiq 16 pro is, that the fans are for my taste way to loud especially for this price tag. For me personaly it dosen't bother me that much because i have noise cancling headphones so I don't hear it anyway but I can imagine in an open office it could lead to some problems.
Also it seems there is no real protection for the display if you press a bit with the pencil the display already bulge a bit. I didn't had this problem with the cintiq 13 HD.

So yeah overall i would say it worth it if you have the money.

Hi! i have a question, does the wacom cintiq pro work with the usb c virtual link?

[shiv0r]

Yes it works. If you need a longer cable(because the wacom one is really short for cable management) You need to make sure, that the usb-c cable is 3.1 and also carry a videosignal.

Here one Example:

I bought this here:

recommended an XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro Drawing Tablet with Screen , I bought one for around $450 and it performs well for me. The pen doesn’t need charging and there is an plastic tablet stand that I like. A Wacom Cintiq is really too expensive for my budget .

it almost the same Technical specifications with wacom cintiq pro 16 besides Touch options . it was a good alternative to wacom cintiq . its stylus support pen tilt function , with 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity . I can now use pen pressure and pen tilt in photoshop and corel painter . https://www.xp-pen.com/goods/show/id/394.html

it has 15.6 inch IPS Screen , 1920 x 1080 (16:9) FHD resolution , 88% of NTSC is roughly equivalent to 120% of the sRGB color gamut. 5080 LpI. it has 8 hotkeys and 1 red touch ring .
