Finally! A reviewer who gets right to the point. No fluffy nonsense repeated over and over. No need to scan forward to the part you came for. Really a great review - thanks Lisa for taking the time to do this.

I'm not in the market for this type of device. But, Lisa, I wanted to thank you again for finding budget and less expensive solutions while maintaining quality. Thank you for great reviews. You are also so much fun to watch--an all-around delightful person!

glad you put "affordable" in the description with quotes.

Brilliant review! Thank you so much for being such a great presenter and keeping this so feature-focused. You've helped me decide to pick one of these up ASAP.

This has to be easily the best tablet review I've seen. It gets right through all the details I'm looking for. Thanks a ton!

Thanks for the review -- Just got one after years struggling with the lap/intuos method and absolutely love it -- my first day after I erased I flicked away "eraser" bits and laughed at myself, it was just such a natural transition my mind was tricked.

Thank you for taking the time to answer pretty much all the questions one could ask about these products. These reviews are a service.

This is absolutely something I was waiting for. I can't wait to get my hands on one soon...

Thank you ma'am for the awesome review. I am as much as happy as you with this wacom's new product. Hopefully, we can get more iteration in the future such as around 20-inch display.

I love the way you do reviews. This is sharp, on point and your voice is very pleasant to listen to.

Yes! Thank you for covering things like the fan, tilt, the overlay!

I literally just bought this thanks to this review, keep the good work !

Excellent review Lisa, so much info, all of it presented nicely and exactly what I needed to know. Thank you so much!

i always trust your reviews for big purchases. got the surface book to start my screen tablet journey based off your review 5 years ago, now i’m upgrading to a cintiq 16 based off this one :) thank you so much

i heard your voice and immediately knew i wasn't going to get a softball "if you're on a budget then-" but a genuine review and I love it

Wuow. Ive seen plenty of reviews but you go straight to the point ,I LOVE IT

Really well done review with great info, I've been watching reviews to try and make my mind up on which brand/one to buy and now I'm going with the wacom cintiq 16 pro. So thank you for the great vid

Just want to say that your tech reviews are among the best on yt :)

Great review! Nice style, delivery, and information.

I love your reviews. very nice clear review. You made up my mind to get the Cintiq 16.

Wacom are the “golden standard’ of tablets, YOU are the golden standard of reviewers 🙏🏼🇬🇧Wonderful review Lisa. I’m buying one of these next week.

Thank you for the review! I'm definitely late to the party, but with this I'm sold on going for the Cintiq 16 for my first device on transitioning to digital. Yeah, it's a bit much for a first time user, but I wanted to get something nice for myself too! :D

What a help, concise and enjoyable review!

Thanks for this. I am searching for a good display for making frame by frame cartoons. And this video really helped

First time viewer, excellent review. Thank you very much for your time.

I've just ordered one of these - i have tried all the others - Gaomon, Huion, Parblo, and XP-Pen - and I always felt that they were missing something. Your review has made me happy that I made the choice to go with the Cintiq 16 (not pro), and now I can't wait to start creating!

I'm sold if I had cash now I'd go and get it, thanks for such an amazing review .

Sold it to me. Amazing review. Thank you

Thank you. I have been a long time Intuos user, and hate the parallax issues on the Clinton. I heard the pro version has less parallax issue, but I also don’t like the fan, so I am debating between the 16 and the 16 pro version. Thank you for taking the time to review this.

Awesome job! As an aspiring artist, this was super cool to see! Glad Wacom is FINALLY thinking about their not-so-rich buyers (even if I STILL think the price for this is high, lol)! That fanart(?) for a video game (I'm guessing Far Cry or something like that?) you made is INCREDIBLE, WOW!

EXCELLENT review, thanks so much.

Just ordered it. It will come tomorrow. I am soooo exited!!!

This was an awesome review, appreciated!

Wow absolutely amazing review. Keep up the cool stuff

Thank you very much for your review. I just started drawing as a hobby, and I have been trying to decide whether to buy Cintiq Pro 13 or Cintiq 16. Though I think I will be missing that multitouch zoom-in and zoom-out, I guess I can get used to what I have.

Finally Wacom was pushed enough to release a "budget" tablet. I’ll probably consider getting this once I get my desktop setup renewed.

I would love to buy this but unfortunately I haven’t drawn more than a stick figure in the past 30 years

been using my Wacom intuos 3 for years, finally decided to get with the times and check out these contraptions. I guess anything I get would blow my mind. LOL Ive been doing sketch books and scanners, so I think I will get this one as opposed to the $1500 pro. Thanks for review.

Great straight forward review!👍

I love Lisa from MobileTechReview. throughout the years, no matter what Im thinking about possibly buying, lisa tells it like it is.

Wow, thank you very much! I was about to buy a Huion, but after seeing that, I'm going to buy me this new Cintiq. Plus, due to the fact that the ExpressKey remote is compatible with this model...oof! It's everything I need. Edit: Purchased and tested. Sweet tablet for drawing, but I still prefer Intuos for 3D stuff. I've been using both now.

Perfectly detailed. Thanks.

thank you so much, this was really helpful! :)

Great review! With the Pro Pen 2 and little to no parallax, I’m leaning towards getting this tablet. I’m mostly going to be working in ToonBoom SB Pro, goodbye to working on my 1st gen iPad Pro through Astro pad.

great review lisa :D

you are the best reviewer in the whole internet

Stellar review! Thank you

Thank you for another fantastic, in-depth, well-informed, and honest review. I'm on the fence. It is everything I want, but I frequently zoom and rotate, touch makes this easier. Will make a decision soon.

Loving the Avengers Concept Art at 5:54

great detailed review, im glad wacom decided to make an affordable option

I was about to buy a Huion yesterday and I saw this beauty. Good reaction from Wacom before Huion eat the market.

Great review - thank you

Thank you for this review - coming from a fellow left hander! I just bought a Huion Kamvas Pro 13 and I am so disappointed with it (I've tried several methods to set it up for me to use left handed but all have failed) that I'll be returning it. Hopefully I can get hold of one of these instead! :)

Thank you for the review Lisa, I have the Huion Kamvas 13 but it just doesn't "feel" right. Had a 13HD for a few years before selling it to a friend, now I'm probably going to get this since the 16 pro is a bit out of my price range.

Great review !

This lady knows her stuff. Loved the video.

Great review. You're a star 🌟

DAMN THIS WAS SUPER INFORMATIVE THANK U!!!!!

i cant believe you're left handed like me, this is truly amazing, people say left handed artistes are very inspiring 😍

this was a good review!

Such a good review

Thank you for this. Very useful. I note that the Wacom site does not have any screen protectors for this model - well, I can't find any LOL. Hope my 2nd hand Cintiq 16 when it arrives next week does not need one 😁😁

I adore my cintiq 16 and really enjoy drawing on the screen. Didn’t realise it is a screen protector? Very well set on if it is. I highly recommend this to those of us who can’t afford to go as high as £3000ish for the pro versions

THX for review 😊😊😊

OMG, that Ronin art looks amazing! ='O

Hello from Scotland. Thank you for this review, it was really helpful. I'm a new Web Design business (just self-employed) and thinking about getting something like this as want to design websites using something like this rather than a mouse. I'll also offer logo designs etc. I think I just need to work out if this one or the pro is the one I decide on. Hope you are safe and in good health. x

great review

Your videos are impressively well researched! Thanks for the hard work you put into doing them! Best regards Søren

Great video!

Gosh, I'd love to upgrade from my old Wacom Bamboo Pen&Touch but I would need to win that lottery. Maybe one day... I've tried going for a cheaper Chinese monitor/screen tablet but the distance between the pen and the screen where the lines showed up was so jarring that it was a huge disappointment and I returned it. :/ Sadly it seems like only Wacom knows how to make these in good quality. Thank you for the review! That's exactly what I needed. :)

I hope they release a 20 inch too! I'm fine with 1080p HD

Great review! I'm curious how easy switching which monitor(s) the tablet's drawing on is without express keys. I often want my stylus to map to my other two monitors between drawing tasks. I was also curious if there's a way to disable the Cintiq display without unplugging the HDMI cable in order to use it more like a standard tablet for more desktop type work.

And how long does this protective film last? When it gets so scratched you can no longer clearly see the screen and how much does the replacement film cost?

We need this in Canada!!!

Hi there I have a quick question Do you know if animation softwares are accessible on this model, since i'm not quite sure I couldn't find anything about it...maybe you know more?

I love your yellow shirt!

Hi, do you recommend this on newbie digital artist? planning to buy my first drawing tablet and I can't decide weather its wacom cintiq 16 or XP Pen Artist 15.6 Pro

one of early birds - i wanna ask tho how abt the visual / display capability or feels? since its ntsc nor rgb. and not to mention its lcd screen instead of led / ips

Im used to drawing on iPad pro 2017 I want a display for my desktop now, would you help me decide? is the cintiq 16 parallax as huge as likes of Huion or is it closer to iPad? thanks

Hi Lisa, I do display art work for a nature centre, and have LONGED for a drawing pad that I can do my designs, colour set ups, designs for other people and work from home. I know you recommended some free programs out there for artists, but I forgot the place you replied that info in...what do you recommend here? I was thinking of the surface pro, but the drawing area is not as large... However, since I could work without having to plug into another device, it may be better? I just hate how expensive they are. I do love the Wacom size, but since one has to plug it into another device...well, so much for relaxing while drawing!LOL Thanks once again for a great review. I never buy anything any more without looking to see what you have to say about them!:) Nice to find reliable info on the web!! Cheers and have a great day!

Lisa, you are a digital angel....

I'm looking for a mid range drawing tablet that also has a 'tablet mode' function like the Cintiq Pro's. So you can use the tablet with the screen off like a standard tablet device and use the main monitors to review your work. Do the XP-PEN, Huion's or Cintiq 16 have this option?

Hi Lisa . I need your help! Here in Brazil the Cintiq 16 and the Huion GT-221 Pro are costing the same price, which one do I buy?

I have the Xp-pen 15.6 Pro and it is pretty awesome for the price. I got the Xp-pen 15.6 Pro last Xmas on offer, I think I got it for around £230. I am not convinced that paying twice the price for the wacom is going to give me twice the experience.

Hi Lisa, What do you think of the Wacom Cintiq 22HD? Although it's been around for a while, do you think it is still relevant and/or worth buying?

Hi Lisa, do you know if this screen is compatible with the felt nibs? I don’t like the feeling of drawing on “slippery glass” which I get with the standard nibs. In the Wacom Webpage, the felt nibs are not listed as accessoris for the Contiq 16 HD. On the other hand I see that you are using a white pointed nib, ist it a felt nib? Thank you

Hello, may I ask how does this model compare with the old 12WX other than the bigger size? My old one just broke down and I'm looking for a newer but not too expensive model to replace it.

I was looking for a cheap one because I’m drawing on Procteate pocket on an Iphone 11 rn and it’s ok, but I want something that feels real and is still cheap so this is perfect

First of all, thanks for the throughout review. How would you grade it compare to XP pen 22pro? It’s said that XP 22pro have higher gamout ( 77-82% RGB) but in every review I’ve seen on KZfaq it break into pixels. I’m considering buying either Cintiq 16 or Xp pro 22. They’re about the same price. No doubt the pen performance on Wacom top notch, but how about displaying and performance? I’m thankful for any answer!

Hey Lisa! Love your content. Just wanted to give a quick correction. It's actually rated at 72 percent NTSC not 76 Adobe RGB. Keep up the great work :)

Lisa, I was going to purchase based on your review but then XP Pen announced the Artist 15.6 Pro with a laminated screen and pen tilt. This would seem to solve the parallax issue that you didn't like with the prior XP Pen offerings. It also appears much lighter than the Wacom and has a USB-C cable for a less cluttered wire situation. Are you planning on reviewing the Artist 15.6 Pro? Would love to know what you think before I take the plunge on one of them. Thanks again and I've been a long time reader/viewer!

Hey Lisa, quick question. If I cant get the Cintiq 24 but can get the cintiq 16....should I get it? Or just save for the 24 or get the older model 22HD? I am going to buy one of these within the next few weeks and I'm still on the fence as to which one. I know the Cintiq 24 is the one to buy but would I be hurting with the 22HD or the Cintiq 16?

Hello Lisa, how much do you think of a step-up is this compare with the very old Cintiq 12wx? I've been using the 12wx for many years so I wanted an upgrade now, but don't know whether this model has the amount of improvement that's worth the investment, or I should really consider a major step-up and invest on the 22 (It's affordable but still a very very tight call for my budget that I wouldn't wanna push unless necessary). One thing is I don't ever use the buttons on the 12wx so the 16 is completely fine without them. The screen of 12wx is definitely too small but still usable in my standard, but I don't know whether if 15.6 inches will see much of an improvement since I've yet to experience it myself. Would be really appreciate if you can share your experience and thoughts on this.

Thank you.

Say how would ya compare this to the 2018 cheapo ipad. I normally use my ipad on max brightness and am wondering will i been fine color wise going from the cheapo 2018 ipad to this. Also i mainly use srgb so im not worried bout argb

For using it with adobe illustrator pen tool, can I see the bezier curve hover before I click to make a point? If that makes any sense....

Straight question: as a Cintiq 13HD(bought it 5 years ago) user, is this new 16'' display good enough to justify an upgrade? I'd sell the old one to get the new model, so money-wise doen't look like a bad deal. The main factor is if both bigger screen size and the Pro Pen 2 experience are noticeable enough to go for it (I barely use the express keys)

Best reviews as always, thank you. I'm sad the pro version doesn't have the VESA holes to mount in the back.

Holy shiz, thank you for showing me how to switch the pen holder!

Hello! Would this be a relatively significant update from the old Cintiq 13HD? Or if I want to see significant difference in drawing experience and quality, I should upgrade to 16 pro? Technically speaking, I'm willing to spend the big bucks on the Cintiq pro, but I want to know if it's worth it. 4K display is obviously better, but I do most of my color correction on my main monitor, which has a high color accuracy. The main thing that I'm looking for is the new pen, which as far as I know, doesn't work with my old Cintiq 13HD. And I want to get rid of the cable jungle that comes out of it. The big, thick cable on the side of Cintiq 13HD is really annoying.
