## Frequently asked questions

### Who is the Wacom Cintiq 24 Touch for?

The Wacom Cintiq 24 Touch is for artists who work at a desk and want the best pen display on our board. It is the only S tier product in drawing tablets, with a 23.6-inch 4K IPS panel, a 120 Hz refresh rate, a responsive pressure-sensitive pen and touch control, and reviewers raised no specific complaints against it. If you need something portable or cheaper, buy the XP-Pen Artist 12 3rd, the A tier budget pick, or the Huion Kamvas Pro 13, the A tier portable pick.

### How big is the Wacom Cintiq 24 Touch?

The screen is 23.6 inches across the diagonal at 4K resolution, so the whole unit is the size of a large desktop monitor. Plan for it to take most of a desk and sit on a stand, and treat it as a fixed workstation rather than something you carry. The size is the point: it gives room for the canvas and the software panels at the same time.

### Does the Wacom Cintiq 24 Touch need a computer?

Yes. The Wacom Cintiq 24 Touch is a pen display, not a standalone tablet. It connects to a Windows PC or a Mac and shows that computer's screen, and the art software runs on the computer. Check that your computer has a video output able to drive a 4K panel and install the Wacom driver before first use.

### Does the touch screen on the Wacom Cintiq 24 Touch get in the way?

Reviewers list the touch functionality as a strength, calling it versatile. Touch lets you pan, zoom and rotate the canvas with your fingers while the pen does the drawing. If you find your palm triggers touch while you draw, the driver lets you turn touch off or adjust palm rejection, so it is not a reason to pass on the Wacom Cintiq 24 Touch.

### How do I care for the Wacom Cintiq 24 Touch?

Wipe the screen with a dry or lightly damp microfibre cloth and never use solvent cleaners on it. Replace the pen nib when it feels rough or worn, since a worn nib can scratch the surface over time. Keep the pen in its stand when not in use and avoid leaning heavy objects on the panel.

## What this tier means

- S: Exceptional. Finishes top run after run; capped at 3 slots per category.

## How to read this

- Each category is researched in four independent runs, one per lens (expert consensus, value, reliability, community pulse). Every run ranks a board of candidates that deliberately includes products buyers cross-shop but should avoid. Placements score on a ranked ladder (LP), and tiers are derived from LP, so no tier is ever assigned by hand.
- LP is this product's points on its own category ladder. It is comparable within a category and not across categories.
- Link status reports what our pre-publication link check found when it fetched the cited URL. It says nothing about the quality of the review.
- A citation with no usable link is listed rather than dropped, and is excluded from the counted total above.
