Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 Creative Pen and Touch Display - 4K Precision

In this review of the Wacom Cintiq Pro 24, the bottom line is simple: professional digital artists and designers who need a large, color-accurate working surface will appreciate the combination of size, 4K detail and the included Wacom Pro Pen 2. The Cintiq Pro 24 delivers a 23.6 in touchscreen with strong color performance and virtually no parallax thanks to optical bonding, making it a compelling tool for detailed illustration, retouching and color-critical work where seeing subtle gradients and precise strokes matters.

Key Features

• 4K touchscreen: The 23.6 in UHD display shows fine detail and sharp lines so brushwork and retouching read accurately at native resolution.
• Excellent color: 99% Adobe RGB and 97% sRGB coverage with 1.07 billion colors gives reliably true-to-life color for print and digital work.
• Wacom Pro Pen 2: Tilt recognition and 8,192 levels of pressure provide nuanced control for line weight and shading that mimics pen and paper.
• Optical bonding: Eliminates parallax for precise pen placement so strokes land exactly where intended.
• Touch and shortcuts: Multi-touch gestures, an on-screen keypad and the included ExpressKey Remote speed workflow with programmable shortcuts.
• VESA mount option: The ACK62804K adapter lets the Cintiq Pro fit VESA 75/100 mounts and improves cable management for flexible studio setups.

Who It's For

The Cintiq Pro 24 is aimed at professional illustrators, concept artists, photographers and designers who require a large, color-accurate surface and precise pen input. Its combination of 4K resolution, wide Adobe RGB coverage and the high-precision Pro Pen 2 makes it well suited to studio work where color fidelity and stroke accuracy are essential.

Those on a tight budget, who need a portable solution, or who prefer standalone tablets without a separate host computer should look elsewhere; this model is a desktop creative pen display intended to be used with a computer and, if desired, a VESA-compatible arm or bracket for mounting.
