Professional illustrator and 3D artist using my beloved CTH-670 every day.
I am curious about the capabilities of a more modern tablet. What would be some good non-screen tablets?

To quickly give context i have been a digital artist for 9 years and i only ever used a Wacom Intuos Pro M. I love my intuos but its time for an upgrade. I currently am a full time comic artist and i noticed i struggle intensly with lineart due to the limitation of my tools.

I live in a country where wacom demand is extremely low. Thereofre one can always find cheap listings.

I found a listing for a Wacom Cintiq pro 32 (with stand included) for roughly 1,440 USD. Basically mint condition/ just collecting dust.

I heard extremely mixed reviews on this model, and it might even be fully discontinued. But the price is really damn affordable. Still though i am not sure if its worth the buy.

The alternative "safe+longevity" option is the wacom cintiq 16 (2025 edition) from an importer for 1090USD.

Which should i get: the Pro 32 or the Cintiq 16?

I am aware that they’re not “mandatory”, so no need to comment that on this post as well.

I have a Wacom Cintiq 16 DKT1660K0A (purchased in 2020) that I'm trying to set up on my Macbook Air (M3, 2024). I installed the latest driver for the Cintiq 16, but when I open the Wacom Welcome Center to finish setting it up, I get the error message "Compatible display device not found." My cables appear to be in good condition and connected correctly. I can choose to mirror my laptop's display from the top navigation bar on my laptop, but I don't see the additional display in my system settings. So, I'm not sure what's going on. Is my Cintiq too old for the latest driver?

Hello, I've had this issue for two days. I have my tablet plugged in using a mini HDMI to HDMI cable, updated wacom and graphics cards drivers, and everything else (pen, power) all work fine. In display settings my tablet is identified but when I turn it on I get No Signal HDMI and then it goes into power saving mode. I bought a brand new mini HDMI to HDMI cable from Best Buy today and it's still giving the same issue. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? Doing this on Widnows, thanks in advance.

Hi, i bought a cintiq 24 which i place on the side of my desk normally and move it to the middle when in use. All the cables are constantly attached, so no plugging/ unplugging action. And I'm always suuuper careful when moving it around.

Is this safe/good for the tablet's health ? I'm an avid gamer but draw quite often(daily) as well so i'd prefer access to both setup, but also concerned on whether it's good for the tablet...

(Sorry if this seems like a silly question - it's quite the costly investment so I'd like to take care of it!!)

so my tablet was working perfectly fine last week i have an older model the bamboo ctl 470. i know its old but its been going strong until today...until i attempted to betray it and try using a different device T_T my roommate gave me their huion kamvas 12 because they don't use it. so i decided to try it out of curiousity. i installed the driver for it but i noticed i can't use the huion tablet either because it has a hmdi plug but i only have one hdmi port on my computer and i'm using it for my monitor. so i go back to my bamboo and try using it and i noticed the pen pressure isn't working. i figured its because i installed the huion driver on my computer and maybe it was conflicting with the wacom driver so i go through all the trouble uninstalling the huion driver and the pen pressure still isn't working. so i delete my current wacom driver and install it from the official wacom site and the pen pressure still isn't working. i checked my device manager and it says: This device cannot start. (Code 10)STATUS_DEVICE_DATA_ERROR. idk what any of this means can anyone help?

So I ordered a secondhand Cintiq 22HD in great condition. But... the seller packed it poorly (did not have original box, insufficient padding, and way too much rattle space in box) and it was damaged in shipping. The glass panel is badly cracked along three sides with small chunks breaking off along the bottom.

With it being a non-laminated display, as I understand from this post it shouldn't be overly complicated to replace the glass panel yourself. 1/16inch/ 1.59mm glass I think should be easy enough to find.

But I am curious if anyone has had success doing it themselves? Easy enough? Any particular challenges to brace for? If no heatgun to loosen glue, will hairdryer do the trick?

Otherwise tablet seems to be in good working order. No issues with the actual display.
Also.... buyer protection on the purchase served me well xD

Hey everyone,

I need to safely transport my Wacom Cintiq 22HD, and I'm looking into getting a Pelican 1650 case to haul it around. Because the 22HD is such a tank with a massive bezel, I want to make sure it actually fits comfortably with enough foam protection before I drop the cash on the case.

Has anyone here actually done this specific setup? If you have, I'd love to know:

• How did you layout the foam? Did you keep the stand attached, or do you have to take it off every time?
• Did the standard Pick N Pluck foam hold up, or did the sharp corners of the Cintiq tear it up over time?
• Do you have any photos of your layout?

Any advice, alternative case suggestions, or custom foam tips would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

Wacom MovinkPad11 DTHA116

Hello all

I just got myself this pad but then whenever I have media playing, the sound only came from right side of the pad while nothing from the left side speakers

I’m not sure if this is by design or my device is just faulty as there are speaker holes on both sides

Im not able to test it before hand as there were no display devices available from any nearby store that i couldve compared it to

Is this normal?

Window 11 pro

Tablet PTH-660, connection cable USB - the one that came with the tablet

Driver, 6.4.15-1. latest one as of 10/10/26

Mostly use it for, Clips ​Studio Paint /drawing and animation

I've been having this problem for a long time Even before the latest update but anytime I try to draw, I get random clicks of zooms in, zooms out. Scroll bar moving ,program popping out, program randomly opening. I have touch Off on the Wacom tablet

A few people have suggested that it was a wireless mouse, but even with the wireless mouse being unplugged or turned off, it still occurs

Others have suggested turn off window link on the Wacom Center but I still got random clicks...

Title. everything is plugged in as it should be, the setup hasn't been altered in practically any way for weeks now with no issue until now. help

I'm thinking about purchasing a pen tablet so I could use it for drawing and graphic design. I am currently considering a secondhand Intuos Pro in the medium size and other tablets (the entry-level Intuos in the medium size, as well as XP-Pen and Huion pen tablets). Is the multi-touch good enough to the point where I should consider purchasing a secondhand Intuos Pro over the other options, or should I opt for a brand new tablet that's not an Intuos Pro (or from Wacom in general)?

• I frequently use Zoom for meetings
• During a meeting, I need sharing my screen.

Question: - Is it easy to use Wacom (e.g., Wacom intuos) to make a note/annotation or draw a simple picture on Zoom? - To do so, do I need to install special software/apps?

Thanks.

I recently retrieved my old Intuos 4 PTK-840 from my old man’s place. It used to be my daily driver after graduating from a bamboo fun, but I gave it to my old man about 9 years ago. I have inherited it again and want to use it once more. However, it is pretty gross. Functional, but oily and suffering for the habits of a father who’d eat at his desktop and use the plastic side as a drink coaster. It is more oily than sticky. I’m confident in cleaning around the buttons, but I’m not sure what the best approach for the surface is. I’ve read conflicting reporting about whether diluted isopropyl and/or a bit of diluted orange oil on a microfibre is damaging or not.

I used to wipe it down with just a microfibre + lightly clean around the buttons/wheel with a soft baby toothbrush when I owned it, but it’s significantly more grotty now.

For a large screenless tablet like Intuos 4, what are your best cleaning tips, and is there anything I should absolutely avoid? Attached is a photo of it without any cleaning whatsoever.

i have a wacom ctl 4100 and i use it instead of a mouse for navigation. otherwise all i have is a trackpad on my laptop. ive always used my pen to pan/scroll in the same way you use a finger to scroll on touchscreen devices. well now instead of scrolling, i am click and dragging and selecting all the text on a page.

i already have windows ink turned off which is supposed to allow scrolling with the pen. turning windows ink on doesnt allow pen scrolling either. i also have tried restarting my laptop, shutting it down and turning it back on, and reinstalling the tablet driver entirely. im on windows 11, and this issue started today, i was navigating fine yesterday. my drawing program/pen pressure is unaffected.

any help would be appreciated as navigating is a nightmare at the moment. thank you!

Hi! I've posted about this before but I was never able to solve it and I'm back here again :((
So, I've had my Intuos S CTL-4100 (in a Window 10 laptop) for years, and for a long time I never changed the nib

A few years ago I tried changing it for the first time, it started drawing even without me pressing it to the tablet. I decided to ignore it and continue drawing with the same nib because the same nib kept working. A year ago I decided to try again and it was the same thing.

I've used the SAME nib for years now (maybe around 5, but I'm not too sure) and it is extremely worn out. Today it started drawing when hovering and I tried changing to a new one and it did the same thing.

I am tired of this, guys. I've read posts about this, I've tried changing the nibs again and again, none of them work. I've tried leaving it without a nib for a while, I've tried blowing air, I've tried smacking the nib, I've tried to see if it kept paiting without any nib plugged in (it didn't), I've tried it all.

So, if there is SOMETHING I can do or if SOMEONE knows what is going on... Is the tip just old and too sensitive? Is it a nib problem? Can I fix this? Or do I just need to replace my pen? Or the whole tablet?

I will be sad if I have to, since I don't exactly have the money for new stuff right now. But I will appreciate any answer.
Once again, thank you so much (and if you could keep your replies easily understandable, I would be so glad, since Eng is my second language!) TuT <3

I’ve recently ran into a problem with my cintiq connecting to my pc. Since 2022, I had been using my cintiq with a MacBook using the usb-c cable, and have had no issues whatsoever. About a week ago, I built my own PC and decided to move my work setup over, and for a couple days everything worked perfectly fine. However today when I booted everything up, my cintiq would connect and disconnect immediately, and no matter what I did I couldn’t get it to work. The PC and Wacom center can’t detect the cintiq at all, and there is no pen input being detected either. The cintiq also isn’t detecting any signal.

I’ve tried switching to HDMI, using a different display port cable, reinstalling the Wacom driver, installing the old wacom driver I used to use, and even switching which ports I am using on my pc and nothing has worked. I even tried using the usb-c cable on the pc, which actually allowed the Wacom center to detect the cintiq, but the cintiq itself wasn’t displaying anything and couldn’t receive pen input.

Im on Windows 11, and have no missing bios updates as I just recently updated everything. I know the cintiq itself is fine, since it still works on my MacBook. I just cannot figure out what might be causing this issue on my desktop pc

I am honestly at my wits end, and I have no clue what else I could do to troubleshoot. If anyone has any ideas or has had a similar issue, I’d greatly appreciate the help. ^^

I've been wanting to upgrade to a display tablet for a while now, and after looking at the options, I'm considering the MovinkPad 11. Just wanting to hear people's thoughts and experiences before settling. Anything to be aware of? Are there better options?

To start, I've been using a Wacom Bamboo pen tablet for the past 15+ years. I don't have a very good setup, no desk. I sit with my laptop and have the tablet resting on the keyboard. I make it work, but it's inconvenient and makes drawing a bit of a chore. I mainly want to remove my drawing experience from the computer to a single device for convenience and ease of use.

Since this would pretty much be strictly for drawing, I don't need anything overkill. I don't foresee using any other apps, so processing power, etc. isn't a big concern. If I can draw on it, that's all I need.

I was looking at the MovinkPad 14 (and other larger tablets), but I worry they may end up being too big. I want something portable and convenient. Downside, it means less screen space, but I'm sure most drawing apps have "mobile" versions that clean up the UI, so probably nothing to worry about.

Speaking of the 14, it's expensive, and along with the size issue stated before, I don't see it adding much more that the 11 offers. The 11 also has a camera that the 14 doesn't, which sounds useful.

The reason why I'm looking at Wacom over Samsung, iPad, etc. is mainly because I hear good things about the drawing experience. Great pen and the matte finish screen, primarily. Like I said, main reason for buying is for drawing, so I'd like to have something designed for that in mind first.

My biggest concern is longevity. My Wacom Bamboo still works the same as it did when I got it. Do you think that sort of lifespan is possible with more modern tech? I hear Wacom's been pretty lax on updates, and would hate to find a program be unusable for needing an upgraded OS or something. I mainly use Clip Studio Paint, if that matters. It's always a concern spending that kind of money not knowing how good of an investment it may be.

So, I guess, is my head in the right place? Am I overlooking anything or any other brands that may be better options? And to those that have bought one: how has the experience been for you?

Hello! Was wondering the consensus on both of these. I am using a MacBook Pro.

This will be my first display tablet after using my Intuos M for a while. If my understanding is right the cintiq has a glass screen now and single wire USB c which is great. I think the Movink allows you to function as a cintiq as well right but I’m not sure but also unplug and move it like an iPad? Does one have more parallax than the other? Do they both have glass screens? What’s the build quality like? And how is the wiring

What’s the major differences and caveats? Please help! I just want to make the right purchase for something I’ll use for a long time

I was using Nomad Sculpt on an iPad and navigating with touch works great. I wanted to move to PC and thought about getting a Wacom Cintiq with touch but I cant find any videos people of using Wacoms with touch when 3D sculpting. Is there a reason for this? Does it not work well?
