Should you pay the extra $1000 for Wacom's Cintiq Pro 16, or is the regular Cintiq 16 good enough? In this video, I talk about both display tablets differences – including the display resolution, parallax, ergonomics, drawing experience, and more.

  • Very important difference that these reviews miss: The screen of the Cintiq 16 gets scratched easily because it has a textured coating over the screen as opposed to the Cintiq 16 Pro's etched glass. Honestly, I would choose the pro for this reason alone. Unless you're a pretty light user, your screen is going to look scratched up after about a year.
  • Great review, definitely helped me to learn the differences between the two! Very useful video and to the point. Love it!
  • This is one of the most helpful and to the point videos I've ever seen. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
  • beautiful review mate. I'm currently working professionally using an iPad and Procreate. I'm starting to notice a couple of the limitations the iPad has. This review has definitely helped out alot.

    This was such a great video, basically exactly what I was looking for. The ergonomics angle especially was not something I’d found in other reviews, but a very important aspect for me. Thanks for a great vid!
  • @octonolite_0

    I've been using cintiq 16 everyday for the last 1,5 years. It doesn't feel as textured as it used to be. More fine scratches building up and getting more and more noticable. Not that the scratch would alter the pen movement. I could honestly see myself using the cintiq 16 for more than 5 years . However, I'm planning to upgrade to the new cintiq 16 pro in the near future. I do think 4k is a little bit overkill, 2K is enough for crisp 16 incher, however, I need that extra color accuracy, etched glass and minimal parallax.
