# Wacom Cintiq 16 2019 (DTK-1660) notes

## Summary

This is a little bit of a dated tablet. I do suggest you consider getting the Cintiq 16 2025 (DTK-168) instead. [Wacom Cintiq 16 2025 (DTK-168) notes](/drawtab/catalog/drawtabs/wacom/wacom-cintiq/wacom-dtk168-notes.md) have a comparison between the two tablets.
