A Professional Tool for a Professional Price
To keep things brief, The Wacom Cintiq Pro is the best display tablet on the market. It’s long-lasting, durable, and offers a beautiful 4K Display with high color fidelity, but… it’s not for everyone.In this review I’m going to discuss the Cintiq Pro from the perspective of both a layperson and the perspective of a professional artist. I’ve been using Wacom tablets for about 10 years now, and I’ve been working as a professional artist for about three.First and foremost, if you’re combing through reviews, I assume you’re asking yourself the same question I did when I was shopping for a display tablet:-Between Huion’s Kamvas, XP Pen’s Graphic Display, and Wacom’s Cintiq, which brand of display tablet is right for me? Why is Wacom’s product so much more expensive than both Huion and XP Pen? Is there something here I’m missing?It really depends on what you want out of your tablet. Wacom’s premium price tag is largely due to the fact that the brand dominated the tablet space for nearly half a decade before any real competition (Huion) entered the game, and it established itself as the brand for professionals.That said, Wacom’s hardware is designed to last… and last… and last. There’s a reason that Wacom still sells and supports the tablets they released a decade ago: they still work as well as ever! In my opinion, buying a Wacom tablet is like buying a pair of expensive leather shoes. It might cost more now, but you know it won’t be giving out on you… even if it gets roughed up a bit. My old Cintiq 13HD went through a LOT, and it’s still kickin’ like new.But does this longevity really justify the difference in price?In my opinion, not really.If all you want out of this purchase is a display tablet that you can draw/paint on, there’s nothing you’ll get out of the Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 that you wouldn’t get out of Huion or XP Pen for a fraction of the price.INSTALLATION:The installation process was surprisingly painless. The tablet comes with two different setup configurations depending on the build of your PC/Mac, allowing you to use either a USB -Type C connection OR a USB and Displayport connection. Because the Cintiq 24 Pro is a 4K display, a standard HDMI port will not work without an adapter. all the cables were neatly packaged and clearly labeled, and I was able to get things running out of the box with no hassle.ACCESSORIES & PORTS:The tablet comes with Wacom’s ExpressKey and their new pen. The ExpressKey was the biggest surprise for me; I expected to toss it to the side and keep using my keyboard shortcuts, but the ExpressKey is extremely easy to configure and very easy to get used to. Incorporating it into my workflow was a snap, and it’s a feature I think I’ll sorely miss if I’m working elsewhere.The additional USB ports and audio port allowed me more flexibility in my workstation setup, which I appreciate seeing as a few of the ports on my main machine are now taken up by Wacom’s wiring.SIZE:The size of this tablet is formidable, but not too large for a dedicated office space. In some ways I wish I’d upgraded to the 32 because I’m used to a slightly larger monitor size, but when I’m using it as a drawing surface the tablet feels almost too large! Likewise, when I’m using it as a monitor, the bevels are a bit annoying. When I’m using it as a tablet, I’m glad they’re there!WORKFLOW BOOST:The ExpressKey and pen work intuitively with most any software I’ve tried so far. ZBrush, Substance Painter, Photoshop, Clip Studio, Maya… Being able to customize those hotkeys is fantastic!CONS:The glass on the front is beautifully matte, but does catch a glare just a little more than a standard monitor might. I have to close the blinds in my office (which are directly across from my workstation) while I work to avoid this.I would not recommend buying this tablet without buying a Flex Arm or an Ergo Stand. In the images I’ve provided you can see it mounted to the Flex Arm. The freedom of being able to rotate and twist this tablet so freely makes it so much more of a joy to use.I’ve seen other reviews mention that their tablet dies out within 6 months to a year of purchase, so I paid extra for insurance. If any issues arise, I will return to this review with updates.UPDATE: 15 Months later and I have had no issues with the tabletâs functionality. The only thing thatâs changed is that the ExpressKey accessory doesnât stick to the magnetic bevel as well as it used to because the rubber backing of the ExpressKey is prone to collecting dust (which makes it slide). Itâs a little difficult to clean, but otherwise⦠no complaints!

A great Wacom flagship, but not for every design-occasion.
I’ve had this product now for about a month, and I will say that I do think it’s incredible. The display itself is brilliant, and the build quality is what you’d expect from Wacom. It feels sturdy, and the adjustable stands on the back feel substantial. You feel no flex in the device when leaning your arm on it.I opted for the $500 less expensive non-touch model. I read many reviews of other designers having issues with the touch sensitivity and functionality, and often just opting to turn that functionality off. The included ExpressKey remote essentially allows me to do anything I’d want to with a touch screen as well. Speaking of the ExpressKey Remote.. it’s awesome. I think it was a great call by Wacom to remove the physical keys from the tablet itself, and the customization of the keys is super easy.I’m running the tablet off a late 2014 MacBook pro, and even when plugged in with my other 2 external monitors, I’m not running into any screen lag or other performance issues. I’ve done so running Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and SketchBook from the device. To be fair, I don’t normally run the Cintiq connected with both external monitors, but I had seen a number of questions about processing power needed to run the Cintiq.The device came with essentially any connecting cord required for your computer set up. I’m running the displayPort cable along with the thunderbolt adapter that was supplied by Wacom (a great touch) and doing so I’m able to work in the 4k, 60fps they advertise. I did end up purchasing a standard displayPort – to – Thunderbolt to cable, as the adapter was pretty bulky, which crowded my ports on my computer.The only things I will say that I am having to work through a bit are:⢠The supplied cables are quite long (which I can understand), but it can make for a cluttered workspace, depending on how you handle cable management⢠There’s been a number of times that the tablet has defaulted to moving the cursor on my computer screen as opposed to on the tablet itself, which I’ve only been able to remedy by restoring the wacom software to default. It hasn’t happened in about a week, and wonder if it’s a software issue. Either way, it hasn’t been too annoying.⢠You could imagine, and others have stated, this device really isn’t meant to be portable, which can be somewhat cumbersome depending on your desk/space situation.Overall, very happy with this, and can’t wait to continue using it.

Save for this. It is, without a doubt, the best tablet I’ve used. I went to school for tra-digital animation and have had the chance to try many other students tablets and then I come back to this one and it just has that polish that you won’t find anywhere else. I own a Wacom-16 and while its a solid product, I always was thinking I’d like it to be just a bit bigger. The 24 solves that while looking sharper with 4k and the glass panel feels great. If you are palm heavy on the canvas like me you’ll need a drawing glove as my sweaty paws like to stick. I wouldn’t have it any other way though, my 16 has scratches like crazy after just a few months of use and yet my 24 pro has not even a blemish a year later.Also, the 24 is big. I almost went in for a 30″+ but my god I’m happy I didn’t cause this beast barely fits in my setup with another monitor. This thing is like 27″ across, wider than most people use for their everyday computer monitor. You’ll need their stand too, the Ergotron arms are mixed reviews and getting the Wacom branded stand was without a doubt the best purchase I’ve ever made alongside this tablet.

This is Wacom’s poorest effort to forward their 16 inch lineup. The color is ok. Industrial design is very nice. But PPI (pixel per inch) is so bad, it’s very unpleasant to work with when switching eyes from Wacom’s screen to MacBook retina display (or even to 27 inch LG 4k display) – is like switching a pair of glasses from seeing sharp to a slightly blurry vision. I was very surprised. Huion got Wacom beat in this area. Having IPad Pro next to it, a super tablet computer, that costs less, with remarkably beautiful screen and pen experience, makes Wacom feel outdated and highly overpriced for such poor PPI. Also the pen buttons, felt very flimsy. I own 3 of Wacom IntuosPro tablets, I love them, but display is not worth the $ Wacoms asks for it.

When I received the item there was already some scratchs on the top. I thought this was still bearable until I found that follow the instruction and allowed all of the permissions but the tablet did not response at all.

If you can afford this – or do what I did and finance via Amazon over 12 months with no interest – this is a great product.Yes, the touch screen is, well, very touchy. I wear the glove when I plan on using it. I never wore the glove previously. I have owned the Cintiq 16 and the Huion GT-191v2 previously. Both are great tablets – although the Huion’s quality re drawing smoothly and its color reproduction is definitely in step with its low cost (but a perfect beginners tool). The Cintiq 16 just wasn’t as accurate/smooth for drawing as this 24 Pro and, the space was way too tight I found after using for a while.Again though, the Cintiq 16 is fine quality wise – its just too small I found.

This is a re-release of Wacom’s previous Cintiq 16 Pro.Color accuracy is great, as per usual with Wacom. However, the screen on my unit has a dead pixel in the middle of the screen. Also, there seems to be a lot of screen ghosting when moving around a canvas or moving the pen cursor across the screen. It’s a big distraction.They added buttons on the back of the device which… was a strange move because you can’t tell which button you’re pressing until you’re moving your fingers all around the back – awkward. And they aren’t labeled in front so you have to remember which is which.16″ is the sweet spot for tablets IMO and Wacom knows that and priced this pro model accordingly. It might not the worth the price of entry. I’d never buy a Huion but Wacom might be loosing it’s touch with this one.
