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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beyond praise! The product definitely deserves your attention.

The review is written from the point of view of an amateur artist (I haven’t finished my art, I’ve been drawing seriously for only the third year, I draw in CSP). A summary is written at the end of the review. My previous tablet is a large Huion WH1409 V1. In the first version, you need to charge the pen, which was the biggest disadvantage. After that, the not very successful Huion KD 200 was bought and handed over, which served as an impetus for buying an expensive but proven Wacom. The choice fell between the Intuos Pro L (due to the size of the working area) and the Cintiq 16. After consultations with colleagues in the shop, Sintik was taken. Lane on such a responsive screen is much more pleasant than on a regular tablet (kmk is due to the fact that on the screen the scale is 1 to 1). Digital painting also feels good, although some people say that it is painting that works better on a regular tablet. Since I am a non-professional and draw more in BW, the missing color rendition (according to other reviews) is not a minus for me, as well as peak brightness. The finish is matte plastic, and if you like to press hard, it may end up scuffed. It's not critical and it seems like you can change it. There are no buttons on the tablet, so you have three options: - bind hotkeys to the gamepad and always keep it at hand - put the keyboard next to the tablet (which I did, partly because of habit + the table allows) - find and buy Wacom Express Be sure to buy a stand, at least at 45 degrees, otherwise problems with the back and deformation of the pattern are guaranteed. I decided not to worry and took a Ugreen stand with Ali (but it's better to buy something originally made for graph tablets + with a large max angle) Minus: when the tablet is turned off, it is not considered disconnected from the PC, so previously opened windows will still be displayed on it. TLDR: + I'm happy! + wacom quality (pen, tuning, etc) + size (does matter) + linearts are nicer = everyone has their own experience with the screen - wacom overpayment - three wires + power supply - MUST take a stand - no buttons - mat plastic - did not draw like God

Pros
  • Build quality Ease of setup Quality/feel of drawing Size
Cons
  • Relative bulkiness Only three replacement rods included Display coating Not quite intuitive works as a monitor Need to buy a stand
