Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased for my 11 year old son who uses the drawing pad for animation in adobe animate and thoroughly enjoy drawing with pad. He likes the customization of changing the pen sensitivity to improve work flow, and the short cuts are compatible with adobe animate. cons: not fully compatible with 2019 imac that requires an adapter for the imac (usb type c digital av multiport adapter). overall we highly recommend this product for novice learners or professionals who expect consistency and dependability.

This Cintiq has made work easier to accomplish on Photoshop. It was very easy to set up, all you have to do aside from the automatic setup process is download the required driver in order for this tablet to run correctly and be recognized by your computer. • You have to have a computer to run this tablet, it is not like an iPad. • This tablet has a 72% NTSC color display, which, some artists are rather sensitive about that sort of thing but the slight color difference doesn’t bother me. • This tablet does not come with a stand or the express key remote, there are no express keys built onto the tablet. (Instead of spending $80 on the Cintiq 16–specific stand, I purchased a $10 laptop stand on Amazon instead. This Cintiq is thin enough to fit on any standard laptop stand! This will save you extra! (I have attached a picture of it)) All in all, a very lovely tablet! I have always stuck with Wacom, and they’ve always exceeded my expectations. This is my third Wacom tablet that I’ve owned. To me, the difference between Wacom and other drawing tablet brands is like the difference between Apple and Android. I prefer quality, and Wacom seems to hold the standard for best quality. Don’t hesitate, get this drawing tablet!

I purchased my Wacom Cintique 16 pen tablet because I am a serious 'analog' artist who has decided to join the digital art world. The pen sensitivity and texture of the screen give a very natural feel to creating art which has made the transition easier--something important to me as the program (I'm using Corel Painter) is challenging enough for a digital newbie. The excellent reviews I watched were very convincing. While my efforts are still a beginner's, I'm absolutely certain I'll have satisfying digital art very soon. Also, it matters to me that the Wacom is made in Japan, a country I trust. It's a top-of-the-line component and worth every dime, if you take art seriously.

Great display for someone on an average budget. Good for 3D texturing and sculpting. Response time is great. Pen pressure works great. It doesn't have any buttons on the display itself, but I use keyboard shortcuts so that hasn't affected me. The more you use it the more small scratches will appear on the screen. It probably happens more as the pen nibs wear out and get flat spots. You'll want to have extra nibs for a smooth experience. Overall it's good for the price. I recommend getting the Wacom adjustable Landscape stand if you want to use it in a better position as a second monitor, or if you want to use it hanging off the edge of your desk.

Best purchase I have ever made as an Artist. For many years I wanted a Drawing Tablet, but, ultimately, I looked at the prices, said, it probably won't track right, and, I probably would never be able to figure out how to use it. I was wrong. This Tablet is very easy to use, works beautifully, and allows me to do detail work I only dreamed of using just a mouse. Highly Recommend.

Bought this for my girlfriend for graphic designing! She absolutely loves it! She says the pen is amazing and does exactly what she wants the strokes to look like all based on the pressure she uses! Her favorite programs to use it with are Adobe illustrator, creative cloud and photoshop! Only thing I didn’t know was that it had to be used with a separate computer and once you download the free software it comes with you can’t download it to another computer! I didn’t know that when I purchased it. I wonder now if an iPad would have been better. She loves it though and that is all that matters. We did end up buying a laptop for her to use it with as well. Just don’t love that it all has to have cords to be used not making it an on the go item. Again depends on what you are looking for. The capabilities it offers however with drawing are incredible!

Best purchase I have ever made. Perfect gift for an artist friend or yourself. It was easy to set up and the instructions were very clear. Setting it up with my dual monitors and downloading programs was easy. The screen and overall device is durable and the pen is great! Overall a 10/10. Im glad i got it for myself as a birthday present.!! I use Clip Studio Ex on my wacom! also a recommend

I am a student studying 3D art and illustration, and have been very impressed with this tablet! I had to play with the display settings to get the screen to be bright enough and have accurate colors to my other monitors, but otherwise have had zero issues. Simple and easy to use. Love that I don't have to charge the pen.

love it so much better to have a screen. pen to tablet is very sensitive great brightness n feel to tbe pen to tablet. 100x better then cheap huion

I would recommend. Especially if your looking to have a larger workspace then an iPad or galaxy tab. The reaction time and pressure sensor are just perfect. Enjoyable and fun to work with.

The Wacom Cintiq Tablet is the "Bomb" I have been using Wacom Bamboo tablet which was great. The Wacom Cintiq tablet is light-years above the Bamboo. To be able to paint on the screen is like painting on a canvas, so much easier to paint and to be able to see your results.

This is a great tablet. I love having my stylus where the picture is, rather than having to try and synch my movements with what is happening on the computer screen. Much better for someone who has less artistic abilities than others. I also love the pressure sensitivity. Great for my cover art.

Box came a bit scuffed but that's because Best buy only packaged ONE side of the box with air protection pack, the other side was vulnerable to damage. So far I haven't noticed any visible exterior damage I will update later if I notice anything. Overall the Cintiq 16 is pretty good for all levels on animators and artists but at the price point (nearly $700) I can't recommend this to anyone who only does these things as a hobby.

Great tool for digital artwork. Glad I made the investment. I came from a old Bamboo pen tablet.

Good performance, very little lag. But huge parallax, washed out color (similar to cintiq companion from 10 yrs ago). The reason for 2 star is because product defects. There’s a dead pixel straight out of box. This is the second I find issue with a brand new Wacom product. Poor quality control as always.

My Wacom-Cintiq 16 Creative Pen Display Drawing Tablet has met my every expectation. It's truly a great drawing tablet and the price point makes sense. It's a sturdy highly functional drawing tablet that's easy to transport; and that's a plus. I use it for personal and professional use. I'm very satisfied with my purchase. I highly recommend this product.

I received the 13" one as a gift and the cord system was horrible and didn't last long. This 16' screen is a great size and it comes with free programs. I can not get enough of it :>

I don't know how I did without this before. I have had two prior tablets, but this is the first with the screen. I could not line things up on the others. This is really great.

I bought this for myself for my birthday one year, after having a very old 13" cintiq screen model for several years. This device was easy to set up, has wonderful color, wonderful pen pressure, and I truly enjoy how its wire has its own protected spot on the TOP of the device, not awkwardly bending at the side. The 16" screen is also so useful without being too large, and helps prevent eye strain compared to the 13". Highly recommended for someone who wants to try a Wacom!

I have used tablets for 20 years or more, since they were serial port systems. There's really not too much information that gets polled by these things. Now we have had angle, pressure and velocity for years, but it's the ability for these tablets to actually respond as fast as we draw which is important, without jumping etc. I find my 50" 4k tv works great with a 2080ti 10gb gpu, but this also works on a really old laptop with only 1600x900 res and 2 core 4 thread about 3.1ghz. Photoshop works well, Lazy Nuemi Pro aids a lot in the artistic flow of the pen (it's a plugin) and in most other paint, watercolor, 2d vector stuff like illustrator it is fine. 3d sculpting works well too. There's something about hand eye coordination that keeps your view clear as the hand is on the tablet not on a screen you're looking at. It's great, for some they prefer the visual cueing.
