New & Improved from Wacom: The Cintiq Pro 27” Creative Display 

So glad B&H was ahead of the games with a full review. A magical place to try and buy your Wacom products.

I love it, i love the new design, and the updated pen, etc but... however.... I'll skip this and continue my love using my Cintiq 32 Pro. Here's the reason why I'm skipping this and these are all my opinion. This is coming from an artist standpoint usage. I mainly use my drawing tablet for illustration, Digital art/painting, landscaping, 2D animation, 3D animation, 3D modeling, CAD, video editing, music editing, and manga... so general use I could say. 1) Removal of Eraser - The thing that makes me stick to the wacom all these years and hesitant to buy Huion, XP-pen and other alternatives is the Wacom Pen and it's uniqueness. The eraser is a big part of my workflow. I'm not just a digital artist, I'm also a traditional artist so it is a disappointing downgrade. The 3rd button is unnecessary upgrade. We already have 3D Pen from Wacom. 2) The Price - I got the 32Pro directly from wacom for $3.2k plus taxes and shipping total of $3.6k now if you add the new price, you would ended up $3.8k or even $4k depending on which part of country/region are you on. Also the price... I'm pretty sure, the reduce bezel, heightened refreshrate, buttons, etc. doesn't really make and add to the new price they're asking. I feel as if the old pro models offers more. i know this is wacom but $3.5k, yeah with the eraser gone, i might really welcome huion or xp-pen. At half the asking price or even quarter, they offer more and is improving. Sooner, they will crush wacom. I can't wait for that to come until wacom ups their game. 3) The Stand - The price wasn't disappointing already, the stand doesn't come with it and the stand cost as about buying a Cintiq 16. Shame on you wacom. I will not pay for the stand and I really will not recommend it. Finding an alternative is always great, the arm usage is also great but when you don't like wiggling of the tablet, people usually get the stand the is firm on the desktop table where it minimized the shaking. You seriously asking separate payment for the stand, no way when we all think the bulk of the price, you would think the stand comes with it. Nope, pay another half a grand to get it. BS I'd say. 4) USB connectors and removal of Displayport support - You know what really sucks is if you're stuck with a graphic card... usually high end the offer mostly displayport than HDMI. Without it present, you will rely on converter or change your GPU. I know it won't that much of an issue after all most integrated graphics and GPU now adays comes with one or two HDMI ports but to tell you the truth, if you're using multiple monitors like me who is using those HDMI ports and my Cintiq 32pro using the Displayport, this is a downgrade. Also the USB connector since the Cintiq24HD was a great addition. I know it's a small thing to ask but come on man, they're asking you a price increased by couple hundreds that you need to buy Cintiq Pro 32 only to be met with this downgrade. You should demand more the money they ask. This is a no brainer. The removal of it including probably the SDCard reader is another downgrade that we will probably see in the future cintiq. 5) The Expresskeys - If Expresskey remote is still valuable then I'd say, if I ever buy one of this one, I'll probably rely on the remote. Hell no you think those 4... 8 buttons is a revolutional upgrade. Even an Xbox controller offers more of the button than that. No more of scrolling? Yeah, you will need to buy that express key remote from them. This is an insulting upgrade. You wanna know what a professional looking tablet looks like? Look back at the old Cintiq24HD. It has those buttons in front of you, it has everything an artist can hope for. They even offer a touch version of it and it looks nice. I kinda wish we have those back instead of express key remote but we're all stuck with the remote. For the most part of my CIntiq32 Pro usage, I'm kinda get a hang of using the remote minus the fact that it always seems to run out of charge rather quickly, turns off on it's own, and the annoying part where it crash and if you didn't save your settings, you will have to remap the whole entire thing again. Again, I still prefer the looks of the CIntiq24HD than the newest pro models. This newest version they offer however is very insulting to the old time wacom user. Even the Cintiq12wx that I've used for many years before upgrading to 24HD is still looking professional. Wacom, what the hell are you trying to pull out here? You supposed to appeal to the artist not to the general android or ipad tablet users. If you're competing with these tools to pull out these decision then beware, huion and xp-pen are moving further. They have more upgrades over the years. I prefer and recommend wacom all these years but these newest addition makes me worry a bit about the future of wacom. it's futuristic in a way it's heading towards general tablet users not artist. Sorry, this is my opinion why I'm skipping this and all likes of the future tablet that is gonna be equivalent to this. I would get it if they released a 27 version but similar to 24 and 32. Although I'm liking my 32 a lot and probably will never trade it with anything, the closest I can trade it for is 27. That's the size the looks perfect enough for desk usage and multiple screen usage. 32 feels really big but I can manage. But with this 27 they gonna release, I can't wait for people reviewing it but for my first impression and looks of it, this is not for me. If you have a 32Pro, don't get this. This is a waste of money. If 120hz is the only thing that will convince you, I'll tell you, I own a screen with 240hz and in comparison on my works on 3D still relies on your GPU. If you're have a slow end GPU anyways, why bother getting a 120hz, it's pretty pointless and from my perspective, the only benefit you will get from 120hz is the stroke accuracy and speed. Those who work slow will probably not even noticed the difference between 120 and 60 but to those sketch savage who challenge themselve to sketch Monalisa under 1 minute will probably benefit a lot on 120hz. So again, this is my opinion and why I'm skipping this. I laid out my argument so feel free to comment yours and why you disagree with me and if you do agree comment it anyways. Pls, note, no hate comments however. Peace C:

3500 no stand wow!

Absolutely love this design :) Awesome video & Thanks 🙏🕊

The reduced bezels are really nice. My Pro 24 is bigger and heavier than a 27 inch monitor . Was hoping for the next Cintiqs to feature a mini LED display for true HDR like the Macbooks (for the price, would seem reasonable). I'm curious if this one also has super loud fans or hopefully no fans at all.

The Wacom site lists response time as 10 MS. Also, did you find the touch improved from the 24/32 Pro? I could work with it but its a lot slower compared to something like an iPad.

I really like the large bezel on the 24. It gives stability when you are drawing near the edge of the screen. If this one doesn’t have a fake that kicks on that would be nice. Crazy that the monitor is louder than my computer!

10:42 that's some impressive drawings, good job!

Not crazy about the new ergo stand. While the older ergo stand is heavy, I love the way I can adjust it so that my 24 is almost like a lap board.

Looks like many welcome upgrades as I expected Wacom’s next move was high refresh rate. However, I’ve been VERY happy with my Pro 24 for the last few years. I’m just curious how quiet the fans are on the 27.

Best review on the internet for this product and it’s not even close! Thank you! Answered so many questions I had that other reviewers did not answer!

Those express keys seem super uncomfortable to me. On the other side, I love that the new pen can get thinner by removing the foam thingies. I hate the old thick pens. They are made for people who grab their pens very tight, but they are super uncomfortable if you hold them light, like I do. I've always removed the plastic cover and "reconstruct them" a little with modelling mass to get a thin version of the pens. As for vessels. I don't see thin vessels as an advantage. I actually think big vessels are a nice thing to have on these type of big tablets. But it isn't a big deal in any case.

How is the wrist detection? I've had to disable Touch on my Macs because my wrist and pen constantly battle for control.

Which ergotron arm would you recommend for this product?

I was stoked to buy one until learning that it ditched the remote, as if 4 buttons on a funky pistol grip is going to somehow replace the convenience of having 16 buttons and a touch ring on the remote.

The 120 hz is the right step. What I dont like is, because of the smaller bezels, it will be harder to draw on the very edge, as the bigger frame allowed the hand to rest somewhere. I am also sceptic about the buttons on the rear, I do like the idea, but there are way too few buttons! I use a Razer Tartarus with my Cintiq 32, as the reomote often was not ergomic or offer enough buttons, but with this grip only effectivly having 4 buttons, It is not enough for many functions. They should have mad that modular, too, so people cann also customize these buttons. I always wished there were like a layout as on the accordion, with just small buttons, but awful many. Lets see. The price also rose up quite a bit I feel. The 32 inch was already crazy expensive, but this is smaller, but also more expensive without any stand. Dont know how I feel about the pen. What alway bothered me with normal wacom pens was, that I could not use them at a very low angle, like a pencil a bit "sideway" as the angle on the point was to flat. Don't know how they did it with this one.

I'm reading the "in the box" description correctly, in that it doesn't come with the stand?

I have to save for the 24incher but when they announced this was like "oh ok, I'll just get this" but after seeing that price tag I'll think I'll just stay with the 24in one. I guess Luxury comes in stages too. Nothing like seeing the best and then seeing there's a platinum level!

I'm a tattoo artist. I have the 27QHD at home, and a 22HD at work. I do most of my drawing at home, and if the client needs some small changes I do that at work. I like almost all of the features on this. I liked the bezel on the 27QHD, it gives my hand a place to rest when I'm on the far side of the screen. Not a deal breaker, but not right for me. I am sure others will like it. It will take up less room that is a benefit of this change. Next the buttons on the back.... I don't know how to feel about that. The 27QHD has the remote, that is 18 buttons and a touch strip. The 22HD has 18 buttons and 2 touch strips. This has 4 primary buttons for your Non dominant hand mostly. The other 4 will only be useable when you set your pen down. I guess I could go back to keyboard shortcuts all the time instead of sometimes.... The screen is a much needed improvement!!! The pen seems like an improvement, I'd rather have the eraser back though AND 3 buttons. I really wish there were more choices for diameter of the grip. In the tattoo industry we use big 1 inch grips. They were originally used to pull the weight of the machine back in the hand. We also realized that by having a larger grip, it reduced fatigue in the hand and we had less incidents of Carpal tunnel. I could just loose all the buttons to buy an0other grip for it... It would be cool as hell to have that option.

it looks great, I just hope we can use the pro pen 3 with the previous cintiq pro,

Please does it have the rainbow effect and grain on the screen. Could u let me know before I make my purchase ?😅

While the smaller bezels look nice and make it smaller, the wide bezels of the previous model provided an area for your palm to rest on while interacting near the edge of the screen which I think I’m going to miss

Brave innovations and choices from Wacom, in my opinion. Will be interested in seeing the reaction.

I feel that this version has a design that is not as good as the Cintiq Pro 24 version. The new Cintiq Pro 27 has a rather fragmented and inconsistent design. The rear keys are really unnecessary because most of the time we still have to use the keyboard. I'm using a Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 and I'm happy with it, I have no intention of upgrading to Cintiq Pro 27

pricely but my 2010 cintiq 24HD works great everyday for almost 12 years...money that counts

Gonna spend the next 5 months saving for this.

Nice overview! A lot of great updates! I'm curious if Wacom addressed a few details that annoyed me enough to sell my Cintiq 24 pro? Does the etched glass still cause the coloured noise on the screens surface? This was really exhausting for my eyes. And how are the fans performing relative to the older models? Cheers.

I will get it if ergo stand and extention table is included

Wacom's staying competitive, that's for sure. Will I get it? No, I like small screens for digital art, as my recent XP-Pen Artist 10 purchase suggests. Instead of one big screen I set up multiple smaller ones plus the keyboard on a larger slanted surface, and that keeps me looking and moving around. I like having the screen feel like a sketchbook, and there are some ergonomic benefits because you literally move your hand less to do anything, although I have to full-screen toggle when I really want to draw.

hmmm not sure about this - feel disappointed been waiting ages for a new wacom pro line, but this doesn't look too thought out and for the price point its a no go.

With all respect to the designers I prefer the 24 version more. It feels like they could’ve left wider bezels and just make it thiner. White indicator with the power button looked and worked more organically. It looks like a simple monitor but it doesn’t give off those apple display luxury vibes. Parallax reduction is great though. Finally…

I prefer the last model. Wider bezels were fine especially with the remote.

4K+120Hz+Touch Screen=💸💸💸

I got the huion kamvas 24 pro (4K) recently, and it's really good for my work, but if i had the budget to get the cintiq pro 27, i still wouldn't get it, because even when the cintiq has better specs, the only thing i could use for my every day is the touch screen. The price is way to much for me, and I don't think it's that great just for a bigger size and a few upgrades, but maybe it's because I haven't tried the cintiq myself

I want 20" version of this please

Love it!

Tilt but no rotate on the pen?

Do you get eye fatigue?

Why propen 3 don't support pen rotation like art pen

already bought lottery ticket and if i win, this will be my new cintiq 😊

does this need a fan to keep the screen cool? I returned the pro 24 because it sounded like a hoover!

I wished someone will upload a video of them dodging and burning on one of these. High end skin retouching 😊

The actual design fees like a step back in style and micro buttons

Will that new pen work with the cintiq pro 24?

too bad I bough a Cintiq 5 montths before this dropped, though given the extra price it comes with I'm sill not sure if I would've gotten this one instead.

From what I can gather on the confusing website and other videos they published, this won't be compatible with the Flex Arm, and it doesn't look like the Flex Arm can be adjusted to fit the VESA standard. So if you don't want to buy the dedicated Ergo stand that takes up a bunch of desk space, then you're stuck with an Ergotron arm which isn't designed to go low to the table like the one they designed for Wacom. Shame, guess I'll hold off on buying one until they figure that out. Edit: Maybe you can convert the arm with this : HX Heavy-Duty Tilt Pivot from Ergotron

Holy cow it’s $1500 more than the 24 inch! At least include the stand with it. The heck. And it’s just a monitor, it has no computer built in. At least with the older ones you could put a computer in there. So does that mean they will be discontinuing their older 24 inch pro soon? My guess their plan is to fool people into spending $3500 first then later than sell the $2000 24 inch version.

B&H Photo - you guys didn't talk about if there had been improvements in multi-touch for Mac OS. Has it been improved over the Cintiq pro 16 (2021)?

i need this but in 16'' form

I like that we have gone back to physical buttons haha

Is the stand finally included with the Cintiq?

The features alone are a must have. Sadly my brain can't handle that much screen.

No, way to expensive. I'll keep my 24 pro and my Intuous small pro.

The touch gesture looks responsive

is the pen backwards compatible?

HDR with only 400cd/m2 is an advertising only thing.

I’m motivating myself by telling myself I can buy it if I get this next contract. 🤞

How much does it cost in the us

Es un monitor y tablets?

Should have waited a few more months before buying the 24 pro I guess... Edit: never mind I looked at the price

Would make so much my brain can't take it.

Yeah but the last ones prevented you from even being able to draw a straight line as it was impossible to not have a wiggle in a line.

I’ll definitely buy this in 2030

For that price is it it's own pc?

I think the marketing campaign for this on social media was misleading to me. Kinda was expecting something other than another over priced device.. they pushed the idea that it was something innovative.. yet this is just an upgrade iteration.

A bad azz pimp c design for a shirt

How easy do these monitors scratch? This is my biggest fear that keeps me from switching from screenless tablets

i bet they realised the 33" pro was too big for comfort. i still think the 24" is the ideal size especially for drawing

I prefer the previous design. This looks and feels like a Wacom knock off even though its a Wacom. It is way overpriced considering all the competition selling these things and a much lower rate, But yes I get that its Wacom so they have no other choice. To be fair Wacom does have higher grade manufacturing then most. I do like that pen thats unique but I also love the fact they used to have the earser but thats gone I've noticed.

$5,164.42 if I want it shipped to India? NO THANKS

good but the price

i love the fact it has 4k and 120hz u basically can use it for gaming too... but the price is a lil bit ridicules ...

Is this new bigger version of Steam Deck?!

Same price as the 32” was. Sad.

Still very thick for just a monitor and, yes, I know they have to accommodate the hand fit (unusefull, in my opinion…) and the monitor support. The design doesn’t impressive me much as well as the resolution, still 4K. For a specialized niche product €4.500 plus €600 for the stand is way too much, specially in this recession period we’re going through. Sorry Wacom you have to do better, price wise…

That's it? I expected something more innovative and groundbreaking the way they were hyping it up.

$3500????? Extremely over priced

All they need to do is offer a 2K display for $500. Why do they keep messing about with products only .1% of the market can afford? I suppose it must be working for them more to overcharge and have low overheads, than to go the opposite route.

Nobody puts their hands on the back. Streamdeck 🤷🏾‍♂️

interesting innovation, but it looks straining to draw on top of it for hours

I think wacom you need to think more about the price man way to expensive for just monitor right now and also your product are getting more problem and issue on screen day by day

it looks more Chinese made...

Unaffordable for 99.99% of people. Wow. But looks very nice.

Too bad they took out the eraser from the pen.

600 nits was a miss

"... The 120 refresh rate makes this monitor ideal for gaming" - Proceeds to get 45 fps in Doom Eternal .

If this has 24"s horrible fans, gonna suffer a major L. I sold mine just because of this. I get they may need fans but they would full blast in just regular web browsing...at random times which was even worse.

Play ps5 is ok???

When I first saw the pictures in my news feed, I thought it was some Chinese, cheap, no-name tablet that wanted to look cool. The technology may be new and impressive, but the tablet itself looks cheap, uncomfortable, and stupid. The pen also looks so that it will not be comfortable to lie in hand. So if it's 100% yes for new technologies. It is 100% no for design and implementation. Looks cheap and uncomfortable. And what is it? Free ads on steam dec? Disrespect.

what i will doo? i will paint by greg rutkowski

the stand looks very heavy

Honestly, the price is quite reasonable for what it offers. Wacom knows a lot of people who use this type of device aren't actually that well off.

how many human organs will it cost?

3500!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! VR Sculpting is better. I'd rather wait on the new $1500 Oculus Headset and continue modeling in Adobe Medium. I currently have the 24-inch pro and the 21 Cintiq; they are just collecting dust. Anyone in the market. REACH OUT

Lovely but waaaay to expensive.

and 400 nits lol

So could I play Roblox in it 😅

`Only Wacom can kill their own product !!` 🤣 A graphic Tablet is not like another PC component (For Example Processor, RAM, Motherboard, and Graphic Card) that can really be `Obsolete` in the term of functionality. Meanwhile competitor like XP-Pen and Huion offer way cheaper prices and they seem not really bother with any Wacom invention 😂 Why should bother with the new products if Wacom cannot lower the older products? Oh yeah I forgot, this is not a Graphic Card like Nvidia RTX or AMD Radeon... 🤣

A drawing tablet only for rich people.

It's pronounced WAY-COM
