NEW Wacom Cintiq 16 PEN DISPLAY REVIEW + unboxing

[@photoshopcafe]

Buy it here. Wacom Cintiq 16: amzn.to/2Wh0iFf

[@colomboBE]

You mounted the stand Upside Down ! The latch to adjust the stand must be at the top.

[@deborahraenelson]

Thanks for posting that info, @colomboBE. 👍 I noticed that too and was checking to see if it was already mentioned.

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks for the heads up, Ill switch it around

[@JohnSmith-uz6hg]

I noticed that also

[@th3azscorpio]

Just bought this, and I love it so much! Its my first Cintiq, so its taken quite a bit to get used to, but so far, I'm loving it. This was definitely worth the splurge! And it's the perfect size! And it's just the right size. Edit- I realize I commented on this about a year ago 😅, well glad I finally got one.

[@PhotogNT]

I have a 22 inch Cintiq desktop, but I would love to get one of those for use at Uni.

[@juliobarillas4072]

Hello Colin. Its been a while since you review this product ,but I just bought my Cintiq this week in May 2021. I have a problem understanding how this tablet works . My Cintiq does not mirror the desktop, would you go more in-depth about how to set it up. Thanks.

[@DrShubhamArora]

What's a better buy? Cintiq pro13 or cintiq 16

[@badtostada6123]

just got mine in the mail yesterday! today waiting for email on how to return because it wont turn on! yay!

[@th3azscorpio]

I live the cintiq 16. It's the perfect size in my opinion. Not too big, not too small. Wacom should have been came out with a display tablet that was mid range in size.

[@kaankocak7232]

It is not rotating to portrait mode ​without unscrewing and screwing back right?

[@ps-ri2qk]

Thanks for pointing out the differences between the standard and pro models - I haven't noticed anyone doing that. Kind of critical at those price differences. I'm wondering if they can go to one usb-c thunderbolt cable for power,video, etc to a laptop instead of that mess, one of the few things stopping me from a purchase. How many watts is that power supply? One other question is how well does it fit in a laptop backpack with that semi-folding stand attached? I don't want to lug two bags... Thanks!

[@PenguinGraphy]

Can I screen record my paintings in this tablet with OBS studio? Does it lag while screen recording?

[@RandyFinch]

How does this work in conjunction with dual 4K monitors?

[@rodshelley1170]

At $650 this is fantastic. I have a Cintique 22HD which I love, and an Intuos for the laptop. I'm actually tempted to get this one, and use the Intuous on one of the other machines. IMHO there's no other tablet or pen tablet. I bought an off-brand tablet years ago - it was junk. It's Wacom for me. Period. 👍 I use both the Cintique and the Intuous for both retouching and painting in PS. Love the reviews, Colin! And the smell of new electronics ! 😁

[@photoshopcafe]

Rod Shelley I have the same 22 as you and love it! Had it fio a few years

[@samwallartist]

I have the 22hd too. This is actually the same resolution, so I'm very tempted. Due to its size, would give an option of working with an extra monitor on my desk, which is always useful.

[@ericagganis1974]

thx for the insight. someone is selling a 22hd in exc cond locally, vs buying one of these. trying to decide which to get

[@shannond4142]

Great review.. And finally Wacom!! I've been saying for years now that they were missing the mark by not having a +- 17" tablet. Best Buy here I come..

[@tomthesmol9676]

Great review thank you. I’ve had a Cintiq 16 and a Artist 15.6 Pro from XP-Pen. The digital pen of the Artist 15.6 Pro is really really good and it has a laminated display (no or at least very little parallax) and the price is really low. The drawing experience is almost as good as the Wacom Cintiq 16 plus it has shortcut keys along the side.

[@OLAF704]

11:31 What model name did you actually say before the sound edit?

[@photoshopcafe]

lol, eagle ears huh? I accidentally said Intuos instead of Cintiq ;(

[@JulijeJelaska]

Adjustable stand, is buyed separatly? I don't have it, in the package!

[@dublinphotoart]

Yes it is seperate! 😥

[@knowdiff]

Great intro! You made it all clear and simple for a semi-novice. Look forward to knowing more about Cintiq 16 from you.

[@photoshopcafe]

thanks

[@CJE15]

One Question . If you weren´t a profissional designer but you have money for pro 16 would or you Buy only the Wacom 16 . Thanks

[@JB-xi5ek]

Hi, are you seeing a picture on a Wacom screen or PC, please?

[@knowdiff]

The picture is on the Wacom screen.

[@JB-xi5ek]

Thanks knowdiff, that makes it worth buying as tracing over an image is easier than when it is on a monitor, I imagine. Regards, Jan.

[@05Sebas]

Hi, I have one, I would like to know if it is normal for white tones to look yellow, does the same thing happen to you?

[@photoshopcafe]

I will have to check

[@sueshepherd8120]

Thanks, Colin Just wondering if you could give a tutorial on setting the Wacom up with two scenes I have a Benq as my main screen and a hp for my second screen I have had trouble trying to work o I work on the Wacom and should it show on my main screen getting it back to photoshop from Wacom screen to do other stuff also a problem cheers I use a Mac Pro for my system Sue NZ

[@noc2_art]

Hi... Does this model have a "Tablet Mode" like in the pro version where it can be used like a desktop intuos when needed? Thanx...

[@FastAkira]

Hello brother, thank you for posting this. There´s almost no info about these devices being used for photo editing. I was looking into buying the Wacom Cintiq Pro, which it has 99% adobe RGB colorspace, also 4k. My biggest concern is, and maybe you could help me out here, that it seems these tablets will wash out the blacks, so it won´t have the accuracy and finess of a 4k monitor. Can you confirm this? is it somehow compromissing the editing process since you won't be looking at a "real" image, or that it won't match the printed version? In some other video one artist was sayong that a wacom is for drawing and designing, not for photo retocuhing and color accuracy. greetings

[@callmedeno]

why couldn't they improve the color gamut, competitors have the same color gamut and almost all those features at half to 2/3 the price

[@ranferi.]

Amazing review!

[@hugowolf280]

Is it a touch display? I would love to zoom in using my fingers.

[@zaxxon32]

No. But a lof or people disables that feature in the touch displays when available. They recommend to do this to avoid unvoluntary gestures (zoom, etc.).

[@ellenzhao6458]

hi, could you tell me you like pro 16 or 16?and if I got pro 6 is better?

[@photoshopcafe]

The pro has a better screen and multi touch so it's better. The regular 16 is best for people who can't afford the pro

[@paulinasocas3675]

hi what do y recommend ? wacom cintiq 13 hd or huion kamvas pro 13?

[@knowdiff]

In practically every person I know's experience any drawing tablet - especially the Chinese - is junk.

[@DrShubhamArora]

I'm confused. What's a better buy, cintiq pro 13 or new Cintiq 16?

[@miss_pouty]

Me too ! Having problem of choosing from these two. Have you brought any already ?

[@th3azscorpio]

The Cintiq16 is awesome. Its the perfect size, and comes with just the right amount of features, for the price.

[@cnyphotovideo]

Very cool product… Not for me but it certainly is a very cool product. I do hope to get into doing more still photography as opposed to video this coming spring.

[@photoshopcafe]

For retouching, its a dream

[@AnabolicPopcorn]

nobody ever mentions what Hertz the wacom monitor have! to me its most important

[@milootje007]

I create book-covers for a job and i was considering this, but the color accuracy is what keeps me from buying it :s I'm getting the Wacom Intuos Pro delivered today, hope i made the right choice.. :s Any feedback from people who know both would be welcomed

[@th3azscorpio]

The color accuracy was an issue at first, but it can be adjusted, or just adjust some of the colors afterwards.

[@thomasshredster4627]

thank you for the review, i m looking to buy my wife a graphic board that would suite her needs, and i couldn't help notice that beautiful Ibanez behind you :) .

[@Trid3nt861]

For the price I got the XP Pen 15.6 pro, has a ips panel/etched glass and pen tilt and a single USB type C with a included dp to hdmi adapter, express keys (8 to be exact) and a red ring/dial, free art glove for around $380.00 to $399.99 . little to no parallax and etched glass. The 16 hd cintiq has a non-ips display, some parallax, no included stand, uses wacoms proprietary connector, no included glove,no epress keys (express key remote sold seperately for $100.00), all for the price of $650.00 near $700.00...... if you want the pro version of the 16 cintiq that will be...$1,500.00 plus tax , which has ips,4k ips, etched glass, no parallax, wireless remote, and still no included stand.

[@Todd10260]

Are you using that for drawing or photo retouching?

[@Emuspaul]

Nice dodging and burning. Is the resolution on this good enough for that over the pro?

[@photoshopcafe]

Paul Emus it’s HD, which is the same resolution as my Cintiq 22

[@Emuspaul]

@@photoshopcafe This is very tempting. Would you recommend it over an iPad Pro for just a hobbyist?

[@photoshopcafe]

not even a comparison. I have the iPad Pro and the surface is very slippery and you have to charge the pencil. . Remember you need a computer to plug into for the Cintiq of course. @@Emuspaul

[@michaeljmccurdy9449]

@@photoshopcafe I just bought an ipad pro 3rd gen last week to illustrate my own children's book with Procreate (I love it!) and I applied the iCarez matte screen protector. It did dull the colors a bit but it makes the surface less slippery. I had to get the ipad for line control which I just couldn't master with an intuos. I got the lateset model Apple pencil also and it charges rather quickly. I think 30 seconds charge gives 30mins use. I am still thinking about getting a Cintiq later on sometime so, thanks for the review.

[@zanzhin1561]

Personally, I'm not sure I could stand editing in 72% of NTSC color. I'd pay $1000 or more for the 90+% of Adobe RGB in the full HD resolution. In the TV studio, we used to joke that NTSC stood for "Never Twice the Same Color."

[@emeralddarkness]

Honestly that and the lack of hotkeys are the only thing making me hesitate about buying this! The fact that you can still program shortcuts is great but whenever I draw with my intuos I always do it with one hand on the side buttons to undo, drag, and zoom or unzoom, and colordrop shades. I know you can buy the remote seperate but that's another $100 and that puts you darn close to the price of the 13 pro. I am deeply torn.

[@yushifishy]

The colours werent that bad as i expected. They were quite accurate. But my issue is that i got my cintiq with a deal pixel in the middle so lucky me uh.. xD

[@yushifishy]

@scoobyclub fun fact my replacement came 2 weeks ago, screen was perfect and now a day ago a dead pixel appeared kinda up of it and i feel a bit annoyed ugh, wondering whats the quality of those cintiqs then if it took me only 2 weeks to get a dead pixel... :/

[@yushifishy]

@scoobyclub i dont even know yet. I might do. It just feels bad to call n be like ye um so 3rd one has dead pixel too xD .....

[@danielg5167]

You fail to understand the term "LOW COST". Not every student have a $1000 (bucks) lying around. With this baby u get to own a WACOM reliability albeit on a cheaper screen sans touch. But like most people, we can look at the monitor to do the final colour grading. Win-win.

[@KhattakComputer]

Congratulation

[@bentalls85]

I love the smell of fresh electronics. *leaves video*

[@james-dt4ei]

I review every other brand besides wacom, there just as good. Ya wacom has miss features sometimes but xp-pen, huion, and a few other brands I work with are alot better than wacom I personally believe. And the new model that one company is releasing soon that I'm testing will blow all companies out of the water. It's mobile amazing, comes in the different colors, can print. Wacom can't even do all that. But your reviews are great thank you.

[@GnaReffotsirk]

wish they made something bigger. 19 inch will be perfect.

[@sppp123456]

Бест ревю евер!!!!

[@richardclark6858]

The cheap knock off is much better, buy the Huion

[@sppp123456]

Ю ар дъ бест!!!!

[@SergePupko]

I got absolutely nothing out of this. Was too distracted by the JEM in the background.

[@photoshopcafe]

lol, good one :)
