Review on 🖥️ Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 - 4K Drawing Monitor with Pen Pressure of 8192, Touch Display, and 99% Adobe RGB (DTH2420K0), in Black by James Beird

Oh my god, when you're ready to spend your life savings, this massive thing will suck up all that money! I saved just enough money to burn. After owning a Wacom Intuos Art drawing tablet, this is my first time owning a Wacom tablet with a pen display and it hasn't disappointed me so far. I'm a freelance artist and have been using it for a week and a half now and painting on frosted glass is such a luxury. The device itself looks slim and huge as it should be in this excellent price range. However, with all expensive things there are also disadvantages. Pros: - Display: That premium 4k display that Wacom continues to show off is a real treat. Vivid colors are nice to look at compared to the screen on my 2015 MacBook Pro, which looks a little washed out. Dust can be easily removed from the matte screen with the included microfiber cleaning cloth. Pro Pen 2: I watch YouTube videos comparing the Pro Pen and Pro Pen 2 and to be honest they seem to be the same in terms of pressure sensitivity. But the pen itself works great with 8192 pressure levels and glides smoothly across the screen. Best of all, the pen has a smaller battery, so it doesn't require charging. Comparing the nibs of the Pro Pen 2 to the pen that came with Intuos, I almost never have to change the nib. With the Intuos pen, I often change it every 2 weeks. Maybe, maybe I'm pushing too hard? Anyway, thanks for the Pro Pen 2! Oh, and don't forget to calibrate your pen first in the Wacom Desktop Center before using it. Express Key Remote: Yes, a remote is included with 24"/32" models. However, since it works with USB wireless technology, an RF dongle is required. I encountered this problem when I first took the remote out of the box. I kept looking for the key, but to no avail, until I opened the Cintiq's rear compartment. It turns out that Wacom already has a USB RF adapter installed in the Cintiq pro, at least in my model. I don't know if this is the case for all models. I use the remote a lot more for quick access than my keyboard, which I like. Multi-Touch: This works both ways. This feature is handy when you're zooming in to view your work and flipping through pages, but the palm distraction leaves a lot to be desired. . You must disable this feature when drawing. I had an issue where I left the touch function on and when I started drawing my lines they started to get out of hand. Resizing and dragging windows is also somewhat laggy. Wacom's multi-touch gestures aren't great, so I guess it's just a guess. That's what I think they charge more for this model because of the touch feature. For those who love touch features, beware of these issues. For those who hate it, this model doesn't cost $2499. Get a non-touchscreen model! Drivers: Okay, this might seem a bit odd to those like me who aren't familiar with Wacom tablets. I see on YouTube that the Wacom drivers are not that intuitive and difficult to navigate. I agree with the difficulty of navigating the Wacom Desktop Center and figuring out how to create shortcuts on the remote and customize the stylus is very difficult. I often had to watch YouTube videos to look for instructions. It just takes time to get used to. Prices: Holy cow, it's expensive! This model isn't worth it if you're not a multitouch fan. Just buy the non-touchscreen model and save at least another $1,000 now. Accessories: This will put a dent in your wallet if you want to go ahead and buy a new Cintiq Ergo stand and Cintiq Pro Engine (PC module). ). PC module I understand that this can be expensive because you are paying for a real computer. But for an additional $500 for an ergo stand, I'd rather find a compatible stand at a more affordable price. All in all, this is a fantastic drawing tool for artists and I can't wait to draw background scenes and manga on it. I originally wanted to go with the Huion KAMVAS GT-221 Pro 21.5 inch pen HD display, but found out that while it is a good 21 inch display, it still has an HD resolution. This means that with a larger display, the number of pixels contained in HD will be stretched to fit the screen, but at the expense of a blurry and not-so-sharp screen. I've also heard that Huion tablets have the same problem with wavy lines have like old Cintiq models, otherwise I'm giving it four stars and would definitely recommend it to anyone serious about digital drawing.
