# Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 (DTH-167) notes
## Overview
An EXCELLENT pen display.
Although there are newer Cintiq Pro models from 2022 and 2023, the Cintiq Pro 16 from 2021 competes with them strongly. Wacom may have improved the new models' support for color or added support for higher refresh rates, but they did not improve on the already great drawing experience of this tablet.

## Other links
* Be aware there is an older model from 2016 also (DTH-1620)
## 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.
## Pointer lag
TYPICAL for a pen display. You can see the pointer trail the physical tip of the pen.
Apple iPads with the Apple Pencil have much less pointer lag
Pen tablets also have very little pointer lag in general.
## Anti-glare 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.
## My connection configuration
I have it connected with a thunderbolt 3 cable and the Wacom power adapter that it came with.
## Pen tracking accuracy
VERY GOOD. Very accurate. Like all pen displays, there is very slight inaccuracy in the last 1mm to 2mm at the edges or corners.
## Pen Pressure
The Wacom Pro Pen 2 (KP-504E) has an excellent low IAF and an excellent large maximum pressure.
## Parallax
Very good. Low amount of parallax for a pen display. On par with other Cintiq Pro models such as the Cintiq Pro 22.
## Connections and Cabling
There are roughly 3 ways to connect to this tablet. All of them require a separate power cable and power adapter.
### Using single USB-C cable
While you can use a single USB-C cable to connect to your computer for data and video. You will need to separately power it with the power cable.
Note that this is a bit of change from the Cintiq Pro 2016 (DTH-1620). The DTH-1620 could get enough power through the USB-C cable.
## Heat
Fans keep it cool. At the default brightness, the tablet is cool to the touch. At maximum brightness slightly warm.
## Stand
I use a VESA-compatible Huion stand to hold this tablet at an angle.
## Diagonal Wobble
Rating: VERY GOOD. Low wobble in all velocities tested.
