How is "Wacom CintiQ Pro 16 (2021)"?A professional painter reviews Wacom's new 4K liquid tab (page 1/5)

　Cintiq Pro 16 "First generation" begins ...

At the beginning

　So Hello!

　Illustrator Refeia.This time, I would like to look at the 2021 model "CintiQ Pro 16" released by Wacom.The company's product update span is a relatively short four and a half year update.

　There is a feeling that this article is likely to look like a mistake, but the predecessor is also the equipment that I have set up in the main production, so I think that you can check the details.Thank you!

Check out the new model

　First, let's check the new major changes.Specifically, it is as follows.

　Connection specifications and heat / fan noise are points that were often dissatisfied, so it is a very promising update content.

　Before that, you should talk about the old Cintiq Pro 16.

About the old "CintiQ Pro 16"

　Old CintiQ Pro 16 is the first 4K -compatible liquid tab released in 2017 (except for a single PC like MobileStudio Pro).Unusual for that time, 15.The 6-inch 4K (3840 x 2160 pixel) ultra-high-density screen and the specifications that had only USB Type-C have been talked about.

　On the other hand, at the time of release, it is not common to output a display on USB Type-C yet.In most environments, it has to be connected to a PC via the included adapter (Wacom link) that only supports WQHD (2560 x 1440 pixels), and a grudge like "What is the meaning of 4K?"The clause was heard, and the image of a "difficult model" became established.

　In recent years, the number of devices that can output displays via USB Type-C, mainly on notebook PCs, has also been released, and the 4K compatible "Wacom Link Plus" has been released, and the impression of "good but something complicated ..."I think it was calm.

　By the way, the weaknesses of the old model are as follows.

　The old model was a model full of problems, but please remind you that you like it because you like it because you like it.However, when I talked to people, I did not want to take responsibility, so I was pushing CintiQ Pro 24, which is hard to be difficult.

　And it is a spoiler, but it is concluded that the failure rate cannot be evaluated, but most of the problems have solved, but they are not satisfied with the connection specifications.I will talk in detail below.
