Cintiq Pro 27

The most enjoyable pen display I have ever used. After one year of using it almost every day, I absolutely love drawing with it. It's such an enjoyable experience. I feel like I have so much pen control and the etched glass feels amazing to draw on. The touch is an okay experience. I only use it for zoom and moving the canvas around. I have to turn off touch to draw on Clip Studio Paint, and remove all other gestures for it to be usable for me. But pinch to zoom and moving the canvas are pretty important to me though since I started from an Ipad Pro. It's a huge beautiful display. The 120hz is a really nice bonus in my opinion even for drawing. It just feels like a treat compared to 60hz drawing displays. And then I can also use it for gaming as well. It's pretty nice. The sound noise is as noticeable as my PC that's running Noctua NF-A12s. When listening to music, I don't notice it at all. It's not that bad. I have only ever used an Ipad Pro, Kamvas 13, and a movink but it blows all of those out of the water. Although it rightfully should, considering how expensive this display is. I would definitely recommend this if you can afford it. I wouldn't recommend the stand though. That stand is expensive for what it is, and it still has wobble unless you plant it on the table and put a cloth pad underneath like I do. I'm not an artist that moves the screen a lot though so it's good enough for me. Try an Ergotron or go a little more for a XOOT.

I'm a professional artist and have avoided getting a Wacom Cintiq due to the price. Instead, I'd been using off-brand interactive screen displays, my last one being the Dell Canvas 27. I'd used the Canvas for years and loved it, though it was never perfect. Since Dell stopped supporting the Canvas a few years back, I thought it best to get a different interactive pen display in case Windows updates caused the old drivers to cease to work. I really liked the size of the Canvas 27, but it seemed that no one other than Wacom had a 27" interactive pen display. So, I bit the bullet and bought this, hoping I wouldn't regret my decision. The fact is, drawing and painting on the Cintiq Pro 27 is by far the best experience I've ever had. It's smooth, fluid, and simply a joy to work with. I thought the Canvas was a better alternative when I'd purchased it because I didn't really think there could be that much difference in experience. I freely admit I was wrong. The quality of line, the effortlessness of drawing/painting on the Cintiq is unparalleled. For anyone who thinks that these off-brand pen displays can compare ... they can't. Don't get me wrong, they are good. Even great. And they are certainly not near as expensive. But the experience using the Cintiq simply blows them away, from my limited experience having owned and used a few different brands. Having said that, the Cintiq Pro 27 is not perfect. While I like the pen (the adjustable weight really helps it), it seems cheap, which is surprising considering it's importance and what you pay for this entire unit. The buttons on the left and right side (at the back) are useless. They are just not comfortable nor convenient to work with. The pen holder is ... bad. I don't use it. If you screw it into one side or the other, you block use of the buttons (but since you probably won't use them anyway, perhaps that's not a big deal). That's pretty bad design, imo. If you place the pen holder at the top, then you block some of the air vents used to cool the Cintiq. Again, bad design. Not sure what they were thinking when they made this thing. I've heard people complain about the fan noise using the Cintiq Pro 27. I don't even hear it. So, it's a total non-issue for me. I'm giving this 5 stars because it's an utter joy to draw/paint on and the small form factor makes it pretty light overall, which makes it easy to move about on the monitor arm I have it attached to.

Great drawing experience - no parallax or lag, great pressure sensitivity that can be adjusted, and the Pro Pen 2 is ergonomically designed (my favorite digital pen of all time). The hardware is slim and looks nice on a desk, making for a wonderful drawing and painting experience. You may hear some complaints about the screen. The screen has etched glass on top to add some resistance for a more natural drawing experience (think about drawing on paper vs drawing on completely smooth glass - the etched glass bridges the two experiences). That means when you compare the screen to say, a super HD monitor or Apple product, you'll notice the Cintiq Pro is slightly fuzzy by comparison. For me, it was only strange for about the first hour of using it. After that, I stopped caring and started creating! I haven't been bothered by it since. There is a reason why the Cintiq line is industry standard - it can get some serious work done. I love how fast and yet how precise I can draw and paint on this. Works perfectly for Mac and PC (Mac will require power cord and USB-C connection; PC will require power cord, USB-C to A, and HDMI to work - all included in the box). There's nothing that can stand up to this kind of quality on the market!

After using Wacom Intuos Pro for a long time I decided to switch to a pen display tablet for the first time. I just couldn’t get used to make line art with Intuos or any other tablet without screen (painting and other stuff was ok). So my review will be based on that experience. The packaging and protection of the product was great. I was relieved to see no dead pixel or anything. I chose the non-touch model and glad with this decision so far, having remote controller magnetized on the side and using its wheel to rotate. In addition, 3D modeling programs in which pressure sensitivity is important work with this screen splendidly. 4K resolution is appealing to the eye and fun to work on. Pro Pen 2 included in the package is great considering design, grip and pressure sensitivity. The drawing feel on the screen is good. 24 ‘’ screen size is enough for most of the people including me. I would recommend stands designed for this product to avoid back and neck pain but if you are used to draw leaning forward you can skip it at least for a start. Having an Ergo or any other proper stand will help you to use Cintiq as a screen properly because without a stand or similar mechanism it’s impossible to place it 90 degree in front of you easily due to its size and weight. Fan noise didn’t bother me, maybe because I usually keep its brightness at %50-60. If you work for a long time the screen may feel a bit warm for the hand but I am not sure if it is a problem. In conclusion it’s been a huge jump in my workflow. Due to its price it may be a luxury but if you have opportunity to get this product I think this one is the best in the field and it may also keep you motivated for the work.

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 tablet’s functionality. The only thing that’s changed is that the ExpressKey accessory doesn’t 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). It’s a little difficult to clean, but otherwise… no complaints!

So here's the thing. When the tablet is working, it's the best drawing experience I've ever had. I'm using Fresco and Photoshop and what I can do with these apps and the tablet has truly taken my illustrations to a whole new level. If I can imagine it, I can make it come to life. I love it. The drawing space is generous. The pen is precise. The surface feels wonderful and the pen slides smoothly along. The tablet is plenty bright, and though others have mentioned the fan noise - I don't find it distracting. The tablet looks great and it doesn't feel cheap, it exudes quality. That said... My all to frequent reality is that the purchase of this tablet has been a frustrating disappointment which at this point has turned into outright anger. I envy the lucky people who have purchased the tablet and get to draw, and draw and draw on their Cintiq. I'm lucky if I get 5 minutes before the pen freezes and that's it. Time to restart the computer and implement the latest 'solution' Wacom tech support has sent my way. Oh goody, this time it's 2 minutes of use before the pen freezes. Repeat until I can't take it anymore and have to walk away without getting much of anything done. My Cintiq has become an expensive lump sitting on my desk. I truly believe it's a software problem, and I'm getting anything but actual answers from Wacom. When I'm done with this review, I'll be taking photos of the ports and the connections, and again sending in all of the requested info about my system. I'll be hopeful that THIS time there will be a real solution and I can finally start freaking drawing, but after all the disappointment, I'm not even going to bother to be hopeful. I struggles with how to rate this product. I'm not saying don't buy this tablet, clearly, not everyone is experiencing my level of frustration. Like I mentioned in the beginning, when it's working, the Cintiq is awesome and there's a lot to love about it. Just be aware that things might not go smoothly, and it might be a really, REALLY long time before your Cintiq will start to pay back the money you put into it. Final note - I do plan on updating this post if I ever get a real solution that gets my tablet working as intended.

The tablet is huge. It's so big I have to lean my body to draw or click buttons on the side. This doesn't mean you shouldn't get the 32 inch version because even that one is too small for certain programs like Maya with all the windows open within that program. the 32 will also be useful for setting up reference photos while drawing or sculpting so yes go big if you can. As for my budget i can only afford the 24 inch model and I'm using a second monitor for references, etc. Moving on, the display has touch sensitive buttons on the top video info/input, tools,keyboard, and display settings. It comes with a pro pen 2 and magnetic remote as well which I will do a mini review down below. My PC Specs Intel i7 4770k 3.5 ghz Evga gtx 1080 ti sc2 32 gb ram some motherboard 650watt psu 250 ssd for OS and main apps 120 ssd more apps 1 tb hard drive 2 tb hard drive external Stylus feedback. After the driver update the the pen was working as it should meaning you can really take advantage of the pressure sensitivity like drawing very light to get thin lines and putting more pressure for thicker lines. Of course the brush must have those features in order for this conditions. I really wish the pro pen 3d was included I never use the eraser in the top its too time consuming to flip it. The pen you are getting here comes with 2 buttons on the side and 1 on the top. On the bright side No wiggly lines EK Remote. The remote is much better than my 9 keys I had on my cintiq 13 but it's not perfect. Yes the rumors are true the touch is not that good but i discovered if you want to change brush size for example, your are supposed to keey your finger positioned on the touch ring continuously for a better responsiveness. It's tricky but once you get the technique down it works. On the other hand, it has 17 buttons you can program. The remote does turn off after inactivity but it only deactivates a long time of inactivity if you are using it constantly it wont turn off. If you stop drawing and go take a shower and come back it will probably be off. Some users say the remote slides down on the screen but mine doesn't. My screen is at an 80 degree angle and the remote is secure on the screen. EDIT: The fan. The fan has become an issue I had the brightness to 40 and contrast to 40 and it still sped up so I brought it down to 35 on both brightness and contrast hoping it helps. Scaling. I'm using windows 10 and the system automatically scaled my display 200% but i keep it to 150 because it gives me more screen space for icons in my apps like Zbrush. Make sure you download the latest drivers or download older drivers if the new ones are not working for you. It goes the same for your other apps like Adobe products. The tablet legs. They are too small and are probably perfect for people who keep the display so low. I also don't have the money for the new ergo stand about to come out although it's really nice that you can flip to portrait and landscape. Instead I made a heavy duty wooden stand for under 15 dollars. Gaming. I love gaming, but I will use my second monitor for gaming; however, PUBG looks great in 4k (GTX 1080 ti sc2) Overall the tablet is great but the fan is now an issue

UPDATED REVIEW- 8-9-24 I upgraded from the 24 pro (non touch) to the 27 pro- been using it for over a year now- sorry it took me soo long to get to reviewing it but here we go- LONG TIME WACOM USER- My wacom history continues to grow! I started out with a few years using an intous many years on cintiq 22hd a few years on 24 pro 1 year on 27 pro. So what do I think of the 27 pro after a year of using it? well... captain... It's a sick upgrade and I've been loving it dearly. PRICE- Now 3500$ bucks is a lot... or very little... depending on your situation in life and perspective. Is art something you are serious about? Or just a little side hobby thing? Will you use the cintiq a lot or a little? If you are serious about making art- this is the best it gets for digital creation. Why settle for less? But if you are in a hard spot in life by all means get a cheaper cintiq- or a 3rd party device. They are still great n all. But you get what you pay for here, and no other screen can do 27 inches at 120hz and 4k resolution, which is part of why this is soo expensive And YES! these features are a big deal, at least to me. Let's dive into the details so I can explain more why I think it's worth it. TOUCH BY DEFAULT- The 27 pro comes with touch- they don't offer a non touch variant this time thankfully. So for the first time ever I have a cintiq with touch... a feature I always thought I wouldn't care much for, and passed on to save money in the past. So what do I think of it now that I've used it? wow... I love touch and now consider it a must have feature!! It was a total game changer to how I work and especially practice. On many websites (not youtube for some reason though sadly) you can even zoom in on videos with pinch to zoom. This is just a delight in ref study. Or even just moving 3d models around on some apps without having to grab a mouse. It helps to keep my right hand drawing. Turns out you don't really need many express keys or an express remote or even a keyboard\mouse, at least not that often, all thanks to all the things touch can do for you! Your lack of imagination might limit how much you get out of touch, but otherwise for folks who understand how to use it- it's a serious productivity improvement to have. The only real con for touch is all these apps that poorly support it. Most major apps work fine with it, but less popular and obscure\older apps often won't. Touch will get glitched and incorrect inputs at times too- just like any touch device. It's easy to turn it off\on if you need at times thanks to a little switch on the back of the cintiq. I personally keep touch on 95% of the time, it's really not bad for doing most things- and quite helpful to have on. REFRESHED- I said a long time ago- in my 24 pro review- that I would buy the next cintiq generation if it had 120hz and Wacom did exactly that with the 27 pro, so I made good on my claim and I gotta say, the 120hz refresh rate is awesome for drawing, it is just soo fluid and responsive! Can I tell the difference from 60hz to 120? Absolutely! And the extra screen space thanks to being 3 inches larger than my 24 pro makes it feel about the perfect size where I can do huge drawings. It's really cool in games too, though I wish this was a g-sync enabled monitor. Screen tearing n all- it's still better to have than not though. 120 is just soo buttery smooth if you have the GPU horsepower for it and the screen is HD and large enough to be a really solid gaming monitor too! PRO- PEN- THE THIRD- I love using the pro pen 3! It's soo lightwieght by default just like you are holding a real pencil. It even responds to ever bolder levels of tilt and pressure than before! I just with the pen button panels were not so fragile- I have broken 3 buttons on 2 different pens over the last year. I have learned how to superglue these back into place for a more permament fix- but it does mean you cannot replace the button panels then (at least how I do it- to ensure they don't break again). Wacom oddly enough- sells replacement parts for everything BUT the button panels... Isn't that nice of them? Sheesh... The lack of eraser is also a weird choice by wacom- but in apps that actually support the 3rd button as an eraser- it IS (as some people have claimed) better way to go about erasing anyways. I've learned to appreciate that sort of a hotkey I guess. It sure is annoying in apps that don't support it properly however. Sometimes you can invent workarounds, sometimes you cannot. It depends what app ya know? I'd say most major apps use it "good enough" to perfect. It definitely varies though. WHOOSH OF THE FAN!- The fan noise is there, but it's not bad. The screen is surprisingly chill too the touch, definitely colder than the heavy hot screen of the 24 pro. We don't get to turn the fan off this time around with settings, so thankfully it's not bad. VESA MOUNT IT!-- Make sure to pair it up with some kind of VESA mount. I use the same ancient ergotron LX that for years held up my 22hd and my 24 pro- but many kinds (including official wacom one) will fit it just fine. It didn't need a huge heavy metal mounting plate like my 24 pro did, and I'm very happy about that. The 27 pro actually looks like a much smaller screen next to 27 pro- just because there is very little bezel area which means this screen overall when mounted is MUCH LIGHTER then the 24 pro. Overall a very good change I feel. Soo bye bye bezel I say! It was fun to rest my hands on the bezel area- and it was handy how there was 2 magnet spots for the included express key remote, but I can live without those features, esp since the 27 pro has touch. Touch lets me eliminite a LOT of the need for express keys- so the 4 on the back are more than enough I find, I rarely even need to use them. SPEAKING OF SIZE- Maybe someday I'll feel ready for a 30inch cintiq- but right now 27 feels about perfect. I said the same of 22hd, and the 24 pro in the past soo... We'll see. A bigger canvas does allow for bigger ideas I find. Getting much bigger though will mean you REALLY have to reach to get around, so I dunno... Depends on your physical size I suppose, I could see a really short person not liking how big the 27 pro is already. DEAD PIXELS- not this time captain! YEEHAW! My 24 pro had some, so I was very happy to get a perfect 27 pro. LIGHT BLEED- yep- seems all 27 pro's have it to some degree. Definiely something I hope they nail down better in future generations, but it's still okay to use like this. It's only mostly noticable in really dark games and it doesn't completely ruin the experience or anything but yes, would be better if this was solved in the future. It's roughly as bad as the 24 pro, so this has been an issue for a number of years now. PEN HOLDER- it's bleh... esp if using a vesa mount and moving\tilting the screen around a lot. The pen will fly out easily and it's a flimsy thing. I'd like to see a pen silo\magnet type of solution in the future. A pen shaped dip somewhere on the top maybe with magnets that hold the pen in place? SCREEN SURFACE- It's nice- I can't tell if I liked the 24 pro surface more or not, both are very good to sketch and paint on having a little bit of a toothy feel to it like real paper would. CABLES- Sadly one of the important cables was MUUUCH SHORTER this time than on the 24 pro. I actually had to re-arrange my pc tower to bring it closer so it would reach. You are gonna have to keep your tower fairly close to your cintiq. Seriously, why is it soo short? FREE SOFTWARE- It was lame again. Just like the 24 pro- I never bothered to register again because of this. SCREEN DURABILITY- Just like all my other cintiqs- no scratches, and I never bother with screen protectors. Been using these things for over a decade now- seem pretty solid to me. Just don't do stupid things around it and it won't get scratched. =D CUSTOMIZING- Just like older cintiqs it's very easy to set custom hotkeys for express keys, stylus buttons. I wish touch functions could be more customizable however. DRIVERS- Less software and edge of screen glitches then ever before. Cintiq's keep getting more solid over the generations. Wacom drivers still fail now n then but it's far less often than the 24 pro. It also restarts much nicer without having to reboot the entire pc as often. OVERALL OPINION- The 24 pro was a huge upgrade to my 22hq years ago when I got it. It served me very well, but nothing so far compares to the 27. I figured it would be a nice upgrade, and it sure was. I adore my 27 pro. ADORE IT! It is the ultimate device for anyone who loves to draw-paint-sculpt. It is worth the price if you can afford one. It definitely makes drawing and painting more fun to do. We've come a long ways from the old 22hd and earlier, and I can't wait to see what the future holds for the cintiq line. Really, I'm already looking forward to a future generation of insanely responsive buttery smooth cintiqs with 240hz and 8k resolution, but this screen is a dream in the meantime and I'm glad wacom built it. Hopefully the pro pen 4 won't be soo fragile- and maybe bring back an eraser while letting us keep a 3rd button still. =D CLOSING ADVICE- Good luck on your decision, I know it's something that takes a lot of thought. If you do as many miles in drawing as I do in a year, anything that makes drawing even slightly better is worth a lot IMO. That's the best advice I can give ya. Get your priorities in order, cause if you spend 2000$ a year in smokes\energy drinks\booze\gambling you got no right to complain about the price of a cintiq, period. People in ACTUAL hard sitations in life can, but it won't do any good. This is bleeding edge tech for drawing screens, with the very best in stylus\software\app\touch support and drivers. Which STILL needs a lot more support for all kinds of apps- so imagine how much worse support would be on a 3rd party cintiq-like device! 3500$ gets you much more than just hardware here. Whatever you do, just make sure it isn't an intuous like device that you end up buying. The disconnect between hand and screen is very real. Get a proper drawing screen like a cintiq or a cheaper 3rd party brand. The people who prefer intous to cintiq are just being silly. 99% of folks would clearly like a cintiq more. Get the linework and curves you actually intented the first time! Seriously how do those people ink like that! I never could...

Got a faulty unit with glaring backlight bleeding from one edge. Returning. I intend to get another one.

Reading some of the reviews here, I was a bit worried about purchasing this expensive tablet. My tablet arrived 4 days before the estimated date. The screen quality is outstanding. Upgraded from a 13HD. You need to get used to the size space-wise on your desk, but it works like a charm. My only complaint about it is the back board, where to plug the cables. It was so hard to lift, I thought I’d break it. Quite ridiculous, for such an expensive product. You can’t find a slicker way to open the back board? Also, you have to get used to a slight fan noise. But I already forgot about it. I LOVE MY TABLET!

I use this for digital photo editing. Anyone who has to draw or use a pen or brush function really should try a pen display. The Cintiq Pro 24 is a really elegant design. It is clear that a lot of thought went into the design, flexibility, and configuration of it. It seems very solidly built and has all the connectivity options anyone should need. The display quality is superb. I really like working at 4K resolution as that matches my main monitor that I used to use for photo editing. I am disappointed that they do not have the full manual available in PDF format (I verified with Wacomon that) but I did find someone else had created one and grabbed a copy. The price is high, but I think it is absolutely worth the premium price to get a premium product. I think most users will want an arm to mount this on for maximum ease-of-use.
