Review on Wacom DTK1660K0A Cintiq 16 Drawing Tablet: A Powerful Screen-based Sketching Tool by Mateusz Weber ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect product for any user!

I have experience with multiple pen displays. Wacom Cintiq 13 HD, Huion Kamvas pro 20, and now Wacom Cintiq 16. This device is not as small as the cintiq 13 hd, but not as huge/bulky as the huion kamvas pro 20. The disease of the 13 hd model with a cable dump was not overcome by strengthening the connector, but changed the location so that the connector itself could not hang out in any way. There remains compatibility with the existing cable, but now there is no chance of loosening the connector and the cable no longer sticks out to the side of the device. The pen, as usual, is extremely soft and sensitive, like all wacom tablets, which allows you to make short, thin lines. On the huion kamvas tablet, the pen had to be pressed a little to trigger, which quickly tired the hand during small jobs and imposed restrictions on the drawing style. Also, in comparison with huion kamvas, the input lag is much lower and there is no "ladder" (low resolution of the digitizer, due to which a flat diagonal line turns out to be slightly wavy). Huion kavmas has much simpler cables - separate power, screen and usb cables that do not require any adapters and adapters. Also a good stand. Regular legs allow you to set the angle to only 19 degrees. The optional stand is made entirely of metal (in huion it is made of plastic in unloaded places), allows you to adjust the inclination of 19-90 degrees and, due to its weight, stably holds the tablet at an angle of 90 degrees. The screen has excellent color reproduction and viewing angles, but it is desirable to further calibrate it. All settings are performed using a proprietary utility. There is only a power button on the case. There are wide bezels around the screen, so that when working at the edge of the screen, the hand does not hang in the air. In general, the device is worth its money (620 euro bundle with a stand when ordering from Germany + delivery by an intermediary). This is a professional tool that allows you to comfortably earn money.

Pros
  • Soft and sensitive pen The display size is not too big, the pixels are still not large. Excellent color reproduction of the matrix. Quiet active cooling keeps the device pleasantly cool to the touch Optional stand with fine tilt adjustment
Cons
  • The cable outlet is not very convenient, it is harsh, but it is quite possible to live with it. (?) Input / output through your cable and connector, but a wire from 13HD is suitable (?) Established legs at 19 degrees of inclination. It is better to buy in a set with an adjustable stand a year later: IPS screen, which imposes the possibility of a residual image trace after a long static image. THIS IS NORMAL, there is no need to be afraid, just such a feature of IPS - it will pass by itself in an equivalent amount of time.
