You probably got your Cintiq Pro, unboxed it &amp; plugged it to your computer. Only to see the resolution is less than 4K (Usually 1440, also known as QHD). And that you can&#8217;t set it to higher. Which is a bit of a bummer for some artists. To make it worse, Wacom says that you can&#8217;t get 4K resolution using the Wacom Link, and that you will need a better Wacom Link in order to get 4K resolution, which proven to be inaccurate. In this post, I will show you how to get the full 4K out of your Cintiq Pro. Both using the Wacom Link, as well as using USB-C.<\/p>\n<p><b>In short, if your computer has a Displayport port, you need to use the following cable which you can find in following Amazon links:-<\/b><\/p>\n<p><small><font color=\"green\">#CommissionsEarned<\/font><\/small><br \/>\n <a   onclick=\"ga('send','event','Amazon','CintiqPro4K','US')\"   target=\"_blank\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0163LN18M\/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&#038;psc=1&#038;tag=sweetarticlesus-20\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Button\" src=\"http:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Sweet-Drawing-Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/BuyFromAmazon.png\"\/><\/a> <a   onclick=\"ga('send','event','Amazon','CintiqPro4K','CA')\"   target=\"_blank\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/Accell-B143B-003B-UltraAV-DisplayPort-Locking\/dp\/B0163LN18M\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1518991315&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=B143B-003B&#038;tag=sweetarticlesca-20\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Button\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Images\/Buttons\/Amazon.ca-Button2.jpg\"\/><\/a> <a   onclick=\"ga('send','event','Amazon','CintiqPro4K','GB')\"   target=\"_blank\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Accell-DisplayPort-Cable-Locking-Latch\/dp\/B0163LN18M\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1518991271&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=B143B-003B&#038;tag=sweetarticlesuk-21\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Button\" src=\"https:\/\/sweetmonia.com\/Images\/Buttons\/Amazon.co.uk-Button2.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b style=\"color: #dc143c;\"><b>Note:-<\/b> <\/b>This post assumes that the graphics card in your computer support 4K. Otherwise, you may need to upgrade it whenever possible. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geforce.com\/hardware\/desktop-gpus\/geforce-gtx-1060\/specifications\">the GeForce GTX 1060 supports resolution up to 7680&#215;4320<\/a>, or 8K, which is much higher than we need here.<\/p>\n<p>While some artists like me don&#8217;t care about high resolution screens. It&#8217;s not nice not to be able to get something we already paid for it. It should be our choice to use the device on the resolution I want. I plan to continue using my Cintiq Pro on the QHD resolution, but there may come a day where I would want to go higher.<\/p>\n<p><b style=\"color: #dc143c;\"><b>Note:-<\/b> <\/b>This post is for the 16-inches Cintiq Pro. If you own the 13-inches Cintiq Pro, which only supports the 1080p resolution, then you won&#8217;t be able to get 4K resolution out of it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ContentsIndex\">\n<h2 class=\"InlineElements\">Quickly go to:-<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#Getting4KFromYourCintiqProWithUsingUSB-CCable\">Getting 4K From Your Cintiq Pro With Using USB-C Cable <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Getting4KFromYourCintiqProWithUsingDisplayport&amp;WacomLink\">Getting 4K From Your Cintiq Pro With Using Displayport &amp; Wacom Link <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2><a id=\"Getting4KFromYourCintiqProWithUsingUSB-CCable\"><\/a>Getting 4K From Your Cintiq Pro With Using USB-C Cable<\/h2>\n<p>To get 4K using the USB-C cable, you need to use the upper-right USB-C, as the other USB-C ports.

It&#8217;s safe to say that when the product page doesn&#8217;t mention alternate mode.
