Switching from Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 to Kamvas Pro 19?
Debating whether to go with the newest Cintiq Pro 17", or save money with a Kamvas Pro 19. Has anybody else made a switch like that?
In August 2023, I bought a new Wacom Cintiq Pro 16" (DTH167K0A). I loved it!!! Unfortunately, it stopped turning on in May 2026. I filed a warranty claim with Asurion, and after a lot of headache, it came back good as new. Sadly, less than a month later, its power cord was having connection issues. I kept it going until July by tying the wire in a loop, but it finally gave out. I file another warranty claim, mail out the power cord and Wacom expecting an open and shut case, and... They can't fix it. No explanation. $1500 compensation pending.
My guess is Wacom no longer manufactures the power cable (it's out of stock on their site), so Asurion couldn't replace it. Now, to get the same specs from Wacom again, it'll be $2500 😭
Kamvas Pro 19 checks all my boxes on paper: 4k resolution, touch screen, 16" minimum. My main concerns are: Potential learning curve of having remote shortcuts instead of built-in buttons, Huion drivers allegedly being finicky, and pixel fuzziness. I'm wondering about color calibration too, are there settings to adjust them and match your monitor...?
Thank you for taking the time to answer!
