7P notes: Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 (DTH-167)

Initial two day reaction

I genuinely like this tablet. The design and drawing experience is good.

Noise

While it does have a fan, the tablet isn't very loud, unlike the Cintiq Pro 27. If you are sensitive to fan noise though, it may be an issue.

The amount of noise is based on the brightness setting. But even at 100% brightness it is quieter than a Cintiq Pro 27.

AG Sparkle

Rating: LOW

It has more than the Cintiq Pro 27 - but that is to be expected since it is a 4K display.

Ports

It has 3 ports located on the top edge:

  • HDMI

  • USB-C (DP alt mode support)

  • Power.

I have it connected with a thunderbolt 3 cable and the power adapter that it came with.

Using single USB-C cable

Unlike many other 16" pen displays, a single USB-C cable is not enough to power this tablet. You Still have to use their supplied power adapter.

Temperature

Fans keep it cool. At the default brightness, the tablet is cool to the touch.

Testing now with maximum brightness.

Rating: VERY GOOD
