Cintiq Wacom 22HD Interactive Pen and Touch Display

Within 15 minutes the Cintiq was up and ready to run. Illustrator, photoshop, mischief, Sketchbook pro - all great to use. I'd recommend this to any art worker/ designer. I researched the 24" and the 22" and the latter is perfect for all my needs. Only drawback is the display sits very high on a normal desktop level - you'll need to adjust seating position to suit… that's the ONLY drawback I found. Great product Wacom

So many reviews for this product elsewhere, another to the sea isnt really necessary. Suffice to say, once the driver installation quibble was gotten around ,this is a wonderful thing to use. But can have that discomfort for those transitioning from physical media as its not as tactile, its smooth glass you skate across. Just a matter of getting used to it.

great item, shipped quickly, my only concern is that the left lever on the stand is slightly loose, but so far that didn't cause any problems.

Amazing! Such an awesome invention and a definite recommendation.

well worth every penny!

The Cintiq 22HD touch is great for digital art work and easy to use with using a styles, drawing digital on screen with high resolution. Like using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and Auto Cad, the Cintiq products from Wacom makes it easer than using a mouse. Wouldn't buy any other than the Cintiq products.

IL DISEGNO E' MOLTO PIU' NATURALE E FINALMENTE HO DI NUOVO IL CONTATTO DISEGNO MANO PENNA CHE CON L'ALTRA TAVOLETTA AVEVO UN PO' PERSO!!! NON CI SONO ALTRE PAROLE SE NON CHE...SI LA SPESA E' ALTA MA LA QUALITÀ' LA VALE TUTTA A PIENO!!! SUPER CONSIGLIATA!!

HAVING DRIVER ISSUES SEE BELOW First thing is first, I debated on getting this thing for a while, trolling the reviews. I then started noticing the price going up on the non-touch version from $1999 to $2100 and it stayed there for a while, then started noticing the touch version dropping in price. Finally decided to get the touch version, if it got annoying I could turn off the feature. but it has not disappointed me so far. I have it hooked up to the Ergo LX arm stand and it is a match made in heaven to achieve the perfect angled working surface. I changed the cable from the factory DVI to DVI-Display port cable, the change over was easy, it amazes me how a few people are disappointed with how Wacom had the DVI cable set-up, but it really is not hard to change the cables. The cables that come with the Cintiq are a good length, possibly 10ft long, they achieved the distance I needed, but I purchased a 10ft USB cable just in case but it was not necessary as the original cable was about this length. I had an issue with the driver software but that was my fault, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and when I installed the software I forgot to right click to set me as administrator, finally after I figured that out the install when really smooth. I had a hiccup with the driver the other day where it would not recognize the pen etc, just closed all applications and restarted the computer and the driver was running good again. Touch display is excellent, really helpful when using the on-screen keyboard, browsing the internet etc. The touch comes in to it's own when using Photoshop etc. I like how I can draw, clone, heal using the pen and then change to other tools with my index finger on my left hand to select another tool such as move or zoom, it really is a better way of working. Compared to using the Wacom Intuous 5 (Large) the cintiq seems more intuitive and there are more express keys that are customizable, so fewer keyboard shortcuts are needed, I agree with others and wish that the express keys were illuminated with what the selection is, but this was the same issue with the Intuos 5, don't know why Wacom decided to stop this feature after the Intuos 4. The touch strips and toggle buttons work great, I'll take these over the multi-function touch ring of the intuos 5. that thing is a nightmare. I bought the 24HD screen protector from PosRus this size is a better fit to cover more of the screen on the Cintiq 22HD. I originally bought the one for the intuos 5 over a year ago but when I had installed that on the intuos, I didn't like the fact that the pen would drop off and train track along the edge of the screen protector if I got too close to the edge of the intuos. So I had originally ordered the one specifically for the Cintiq 22HD but when I received it and did a dry fit, I noticed that it would be the same issue as the one for intuos 5, so I ordered the bigger protector, installation of the screen protector is a nightmare but once it is on, it works great. (See my review and others for the Cintiq 24HD screen protector) The art pen is a match made in heaven, just make sure to calibrate, the nuances of the pen tilt and rotation make this exceptional, especially when used in Photoshop CS6 and CC with the erodible brushes, this closely mimics true B Soft pencils, paint brush strokes etc. The final thought: The fact of being able to work directly on screen in numerous art/photograpy applications is a amazing. I didn't like the hand eye coordination disconnect that I experienced with the intuos, not saying that the intuos is bad, but there is definitely a learning curve, I think this is why a lot of people have issues with the learning curve on the intuos and still want to use the mouse. I wish I had purchased the Cintiq a long time ago, Price is definitely steep, especially considering that these things are manufactured in China, but the quality of the materials is good. OK I'm having continual Driver issues, I have updated to the newer driver (6.3.7-5) from the Wacom website, everyday I boot the computer I get "The tablet Driver was not found". "The tablet driver is not running. "This operation returned because the timeout period expired", I have contacted Wacom and keep getting the same questions of have you installed the latest driver etc the next question they ask is what programs do you have running in the background on start-up. There is a bunch of programs, I need to know what are the essential programs that need to be running on start-up. I'm running Windows 7 64Bit on a HP machine, I have an ATI Firepro 1gb graphics card. So has anyone here had the same kind of glitches and qhat was the remedy to fix the tablet driver not found issue???? Please help

Prodotto ottimo per illustratori e designer moda o fumetti. Effetti veramente realistici. In pratica è come disegnare sul foglio di carta ma direttamente sul computer. Non ne potrei più fare a meno. Inoltre facilissimo da collegare al pc senza tanti problemi.

Tablette graphique conforme sauf le câble DVI D qui n'est pas compatible pour branchement sur port vga (ordinateur portable). Il a fallu acheté un câble DVI I /VGA sinon impossible de la faire fonctionner (écran noir) . Au tarif de la tablette, Wacom pourrait faire un effort et inclure plusieurs types de câble !

I was very unhappy with this product. First of all, I have been using Intuos forever. I started with 3 and then had 4 extra large. They were both awesome. I wanted something I can draw and paint on like as if really on the screen. Let me start with cons since that is what I have the most experience with: CONS: 1) The thing is huge and heavy! 38 lbs! Don't for a moment thing you will be drawing comfortably. Plus you really need a new table for it because it is like a second monitor--so you need space. I wish it were wireless so you could take it to another table! 2) given that it is at level with the computer, you pretty much have to stand to paint. I prefer to sit... I don't know about you! 3) You cannot work at night because the screen is a glare screen so the light overhead reflects in it like a mirror glass. I ended up having to work in dark with a light behind it and then using a flash if I had to look for some keys to say type to a chat at the same time--remember it is another monitor! 4) Because of the touch sensor, although your paint may or may not respond to your touch with your hand other than the pen, the other items on your desktop DO respond. So I ended up spending 50% of my time closing web browser windows, etc. Very annoying. 5) working on a glass surface gave a screeching sound that made me remember finger nails on chalk boards.. eek.. no thank you! 6) The thickness of the glass cover itself creates a distance between the top of your pen and the actual art. This causes to have the paint show up from different location to where you wanted. 7) You calibrate the tablet as you start. Then you tilt the tablet and must re-calibrate everything again. Then you tilt again and must calibrate again! It gets really annoying to have to calibrate every time! 8) Because your arm on the tablet causes all kinds of things to go off, you tend to then hover over edit or size of brush change, etc. This is tricky since the slightest move closes what you were about to do and takes you somewhere else. 9) I really did not like the calibration of the Cintiq--I have my monitor calibrated. I was not able to calibrate the Cintiq the same way--I have Spider 4, which is a very good kind but my painting was always off colored. I always had to bring it back to Photoshop on my regular monitor, calibrate for proper color there and then finish. Double work. 10) Amazingly expensive for what it does... PRO: Not much... not even sure I found one... It is heading back. Plus the package was missing one element as well. I asked for a return--which I can since it has only been 2 days--so I did. I ordered the Intuos 5 Pro wireless touch instead and see how that handles. The touch there will not open any windows I do not want since the touch feature can be turned off whereas on the Cintiq it cannot...
