If you aspire to be an artist, you need either a variety of paints and brushes or a high-quality art tablet. Wacom is a leading name in the art tablet market. Currently, there are meaningful discounts on two popular models: the Wacom Cintiq 16 and the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16. The price of the Cintiq 16 has dropped from $650 to $550, saving you $100. Meanwhile, the Pro version is now available for $1,453 instead of $1,600, giving you a total savings of $147. While the percentage off is greater for the Cintiq 16, you'll save more overall with the Pro model.
Explore both tablets by clicking on the buttons below or continue reading for key points from our review that highlight their differences.
Why Choose a Wacom Cintiq?
Both models connect to your computer and allow you to draw using software installed on that device. You use a stylus that detects pressure and tilt for realistic artwork based on your movements. Unlike older versions without screens, these tablets feature displays so you can see your work as it develops right in front of you.Our initial impressions of the Wacom Cintiq 16 emphasize its value: “Your images will appear sharper on the Pro’s 4K display; however, both models ultimately deliver similar results.” The Pro version offers some extra features like single USB-C connectivity (instead of needing two cables), broader color range capabilities, and multi-touch gesture support.
Though, keep in mind that while both options are excellent tools for artists at any level—especially with these sales—the standard model provides great value at a lower price point.
