The New Wacom Cintiq 24 is a pro level device without the pro name or price tag. The Pro pen 3 here is fantastic and everything else is really good too.Watch N
Neko Rina Neko Rina · 185K subscribers · Jun 2026 Testing yet another Wacom product and, okay, the price is not what our wallets would probably pick, but it is certainly a great device that works as what you'd expect from THE Tablet Brand par excellence.Watch F
F64 F64 · 56.7K subscribers · Oct 2025 Dacă vrei să uiţi de tabletă + monitor separat şi să lucrezi direct pe ecran, cu control total, flux precis, gesturi, suprafaţă mare şi stilou de înaltă performanţă — Cintiq 24 Touch e alegerea logică. În plus, raportul preţ/performanţă e foarte bun dacă nu ai nevoie neapărat de 4K sau acoperire AdobeRGB ~100%.Watch

Nytimes Article I also love the Cintiq 24 Touch’s industrial design — the materials and construction feel premium, with no rattle or jiggle, and the included adjustable stand is slick and convenient. More importantly, Wacom’s drivers and support are industry-leading. However, like every big pen display, the Cintiq 24 Touch takes an enormous amount of desk space, and it’s heavy enough to make moving it around inconvenient, so it’s a bad option for non-professionals or those with smaller workspaces.Read A
