    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 been using this tablet for the last month or so and it has been wonderful. It's exactly what I was asking for. At first I was torn between getting this tablet and getting one of those Microsoft touch-screen laptops, but after using this laptop for a bit I can certainly vouch for it's quality. There may, however, be better, cheaper alternatives from Wacoms competitors such as Huion that may offer cheaper tablets of *similar* quality (it's pretty hard to beat Wacom at their own game), so maybe shop around before you pick it up.

    [Employee of bestbuy] This cintiq is awesome! It has a great display, it’s great for touch and feel, scratch resistant it feels like, especially for the pen… the screen has different brightness options, none of which are blinding, and the screen is a very soft, but almost paper-like feel for friction, is amazing.

    I've bought tons of Chinese competitors, but for 650 this tablet rivals the price of most of them. The 16 inch display is surprisingly large to draw on (in a good way). I've used this for about a month or so without hiccup. I also quickly bought the express key remote for additional ease of use. Thanks to best buy for price matching that and saving 30 bucks.

    My husband bought this for me as a gift and I really like it, but it isn't a portable tablet, it has to be hooked up to the computer so I can't just take it with me to the backyard if I want a change of scenery. I also think the little prongs in the back are small and don't stand very well, I'm constantly knocking it over while using it.

    The tablet represents the next step up from amateur to professional. Great tool and a comfortable way for those moving from traditional media to digital. The digital pen is easy to handle and use. All you need to do is provide your creativity.

    This unit is smaller than the one in my studio. Now that I have to work from home, its great to have a more compact set-up. I did have to also purchase a mini display adapter for my MacBook Air to get the display to work.

    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 was debating on this or the Wacom One. The bigger screen and better pen is well worth it. Trust me. Glad I got the cintiq 16.

    I got into digital art in 2016 but I was using my mouse to paint everything. I figured if I can make art on the computer with a mouse, a tablet and a pen might make that easier. It was very easy to set up, instructions were clear. The only thing that I found frustrating was trying to get an adapter to hook it to my Mac. Trying to get any adapter was difficult since many people are currently working from home. But that has nothing to do with the tablet itself. :) Over all it was great.

    Kind of like goldilocks, I've had a 22 inch Cintiq and a 13 inch Cintiq. The 22 was great but huge and the 13 one was too small to get comfortable with but this one is just right. My only cons is that it's 1080p.

    Take note of when I purchased the item. Also, I haven't drawn in 15 years so all this tech is new to me. If you're in my boat, then please continue to read. The table pre-set colors are wonderful. After configuring the pen I had no issues. One thing that freaked me out was a red tint that appears after awhile. After some research, I realized my computer's Night Light settings were also affecting the tablet's screen so check for that if you run into the same issue. My first impression is that the tablet would mirror my desktop, and I would see my work on two screens. Not so. Maybe there's a way to do that. However, my computer recognized it as a an extended screen, and I just moved my trial of Clip Studio to the Cintiq window and everything is fine. When I first installed the drivers I had an issue. So I installed the PREVIOUS driver iteration and upgraded through Wacom's client. That fixed the communication issue between the tablet and my computer. Additionally, when setting up my account with Wacom, for some reason Chrome (even after checking cookies) would not load the website properly. Edge does load Wacom properly so switch browsers if need be.

    Wacom is absolutely great and their tech is top notch, the Pen is the absolute best and it feels great drawing on the screen excellent experience, but cable management from the Wacom tablet is great but after that is bulky and requires way too many ports that some computers no longer provide type C would have made it incredible.

    Got this as a birthday present for my sister and she absolutely loves it. It was actually much bigger than i thought it would be when it came in which was a great thing to my suprise. I mean id easily give it a 10/10 for its accesibility, size, and price. The only thing id recommend is getting a no friction glove for your drawing hand so you dont rub the screen.
