Wacom Cintiq Pro 27, Drawing Tablet with 4K 120 Hz Touchscreen & ProPen 3

I'm a professional artist and have avoided getting a Wacom Cintiq due to the price. Instead, I'd been using off-brand interactive screen displays, my last one being the Dell Canvas 27. I'd used the Canvas for years and loved it, though it was never perfect. Since Dell stopped supporting the Canvas a few years back, I thought it best to get a different interactive pen display in case Windows updates caused the old drivers to cease to work. I really liked the size of the Canvas 27, but it seemed that no one other than Wacom had a 27" interactive pen display. So, I bit the bullet and bought this, hoping I wouldn't regret my decision. The fact is, drawing and painting on the Cintiq Pro 27 is by far the best experience I've ever had. It's smooth, fluid, and simply a joy to work with. I thought the Canvas was a better alternative when I'd purchased it because I didn't really think there could be that much difference in experience. I freely admit I was wrong. The quality of line, the effortlessness of drawing/painting on the Cintiq is unparalleled. For anyone who thinks that these off-brand pen displays can compare ... they can't. Don't get me wrong, they are good. Even great. And they are certainly not near as expensive. But the experience using the Cintiq simply blows them away, from my limited experience having owned and used a few different brands. Having said that, the Cintiq Pro 27 is not perfect. While I like the pen (the adjustable weight really helps it), it seems cheap, which is surprising considering it's importance and what you pay for this entire unit. The buttons on the left and right side (at the back) are useless. They are just not comfortable nor convenient to work with. The pen holder is ... bad. I don't use it. If you screw it into one side or the other, you block use of the buttons (but since you probably won't use them anyway, perhaps that's not a big deal). That's pretty bad design, imo. If you place the pen holder at the top, then you block some of the air vents used to cool the Cintiq. Again, bad design. Not sure what they were thinking when they made this thing. I've heard people complain about the fan noise using the Cintiq Pro 27. I don't even hear it. So, it's a total non-issue for me. I'm giving this 5 stars because it's an utter joy to draw/paint on and the small form factor makes it pretty light overall, which makes it easy to move about on the monitor arm I have it attached to.

The most enjoyable pen display I have ever used. After one year of using it almost every day, I absolutely love drawing with it. It's such an enjoyable experience. I feel like I have so much pen control and the etched glass feels amazing to draw on. The touch is an okay experience. I only use it for zoom and moving the canvas around. I have to turn off touch to draw on Clip Studio Paint, and remove all other gestures for it to be usable for me. But pinch to zoom and moving the canvas are pretty important to me though since I started from an Ipad Pro. It's a huge beautiful display. The 120hz is a really nice bonus in my opinion even for drawing. It just feels like a treat compared to 60hz drawing displays. And then I can also use it for gaming as well. It's pretty nice. The sound noise is as noticeable as my PC that's running Noctua NF-A12s. When listening to music, I don't notice it at all. It's not that bad. I have only ever used an Ipad Pro, Kamvas 13, and a movink but it blows all of those out of the water. Although it rightfully should, considering how expensive this display is. I would definitely recommend this if you can afford it. I wouldn't recommend the stand though. That stand is expensive for what it is, and it still has wobble unless you plant it on the table and put a cloth pad underneath like I do. I'm not an artist that moves the screen a lot though so it's good enough for me. Try an Ergotron or go a little more for a XOOT.

Once you go touch screen you can't go back haha. Perfect and amazing tablet as I always expect from Wacom. I was hesitant to upgrade from my 22HD with the scroll bars on the back given this unit only has buttons behind the tablet, but of course the touch screen makes up for it. The cooling fans are a wonderful touch, and I am not baking like a shrimp on the bbq as my old Wacom had. I love this tablet. Yes, it's spendsy, but you pay for the quality you get. It's an excellent workhorse for the professional artist.

I have had this monitor for 3 months now. Before I got this, I had tried Huion and Xencelabs displays. Build Quality The build quality is excellent. The materials and fit and finish on my unit are top notch. The glass feels great underhand. Screen Out of the box color reproduction is within a few percent of what was advertised based on my test with an xrite color calibration sensor. There is a very slight backlight bleed on the right edge of the screen but this is only noticeable against a black background and will be covered up by the UI of any drawing program. The screen is very crisp despite the good anti-glare coating on it. Compared to other 4k drawing tablets with antiglare coatings, this one blows them out of the water in terms of clarity (looking at you, xencelabs 24). There is no point in buying a 4k monitor if the anti glare coating is blurry, and with this monitor you truly do get the benefits of 4k. The touch functions fine but I don't like using touch because I will occasionally accidentally trigger it. This is a problem for me regardless of device, even on iPads, so I wouldn't knock this unit for being overly sensitive. It's nice to have a physical switch to quickly disable touch on the back of the unit so I can use touch on occasion if I want to. The 120 hz is very nice but it is the sort of luxury you take for granted until you have to use a 60 hz screen again. The screen is plenty bright for me at default settings, but there are a multitude of different settings you can adjust for colorspaces, etc. I just leave it on default settings sRGB. Drawing Experience The pen is excellent. It is extremely accurate and all pressure levels are usable. I do not see any line wobble in an unstabilized pen on this display. Other Notes I don't use the trigger buttons but they are there if you want them and the buttons feel quality to press. I currently have the unit on the official Wacom stand for it and I think it is also excellent, very solid and easy to adjust. My particular unit has zero fan noise. The pen holder that comes with the unit sucks. Sorry Wacom, but this pen holder is practically designed to drop your pen at the slightest bump regardless of where you screw it in to the tablet. Just something to be aware of, you might want to store the pen somewhere else. The only true downside is this tablet is $3k and the stand is $500. This is certainly overpriced, but I believe the product is best in class for a 22" tablet. Time will tell what the lifetime of the product is but I expect it will last a long time, especially since the display does not use OLED technology.

CONTEXT I have used Cintiq on Mac for over 15 years as a professional. I have been a Mac user since 2008 and also Windows since... DOS 1984? I am now using a Lenovo Legion 7i 16IRX8H -- i9-13900HX & RTX4080 (more than enough). I wanted a smaller, more space-efficient pen display. I wanted nice working gestures (terrible on Mac). This is my first time using a Cintiq on Windows. REVIEW I spent a great deal of time trying to debug these issues. Some resolved with hacky work-arounds, others nothing. (Spoiler) I was so frustrated I also bought a Huion Kamvas Pro 19 (and I'm keeping it). You already know the goods, so to keep things short, I focus on the bads: - Usually photoshop works, but in a span of 1 week, it did not work 3 times. The solution was no less than uninstall and reinstall the Cintiq Drivers. No Joke. - Photoshop 2023, 2024, 2025 had a bug where my lines would start to get janky after a few minutes of perfectly silky smooth lines, suddenly ugly lines. The problem went away when I backpedaled all the way to Photoshop 2022. (Did not occur on Huion Kamvas Pro 19) - Toon Boom Harmony, always 100% of the time, the pen marks would be about an inch below the pen tip. Even though I could click the UI just fine. (Did not occur on Huion Kamvas Pro 19) - After waking up from sleep, the Cintiq decided the pen should work on one monitor, but the touch should go to another. There was no fix for this, the Cintiq Software does not let you say which screen should be in focus, instead just has the display toggle. Restarting the driver did not work. Restarting the PC did not work. Uninstall & Reinstall the driver worked *sigh*. This happened once in a span of a week, this was actually the last straw for me and why I'm writing this review. The trend with the Cintiq on Windows seems than you must uninstall and reinstall, then restart your computer for any issue that goes wrong. You must re-apply all your custom settings. Some variation of these sorts of problems happened sometimes more than once a day. Compared to the Huion Kamvas Pro 19. Well it has its quirks too. But ever quirk on the Huion was solvable with the click of a button, no uninstall and reinstall and no restarting the PC. Also, Toon Boom Harmony worked great. Photoshop 2025 worked great (though you do have to click a button in the Huion software). However, the shocker to me was that the pen feel on the Huion is actually nicer. Pen Pressure is nicer. The pen engagement feels like an iPad, it's really good! Parallax is better on Huion, but the Cintiq is good too. Apparently color is better on the Cintiq but I can't tell the difference, I always just use sRGB. Huion Kamvas Pro 19 is only 60hz, the Cintiq Pro 17 is 120hz. I did like the 120hz but not a requirement. All things considered, even with ignoring the price, the Huion (while it has issues) is the better product. Cintiq is going back... Huion is staying... Weird.

The interface software is terrible. Clunky, buggy. and non-intuitive.

It’s an amazing monitor. It is our fourth high-end Wacom - expensive and please know that the stand is sold separately. It came as a little bit of a surprise to us. This isn’t the all in price.

It has some weird touch problem that often would limit my touch to a small area of monitor, which would reset after another action (drawing with pen/clicking with mouse). This is a "small" problem I could get used to, but the pen side button broken off so easily. Turned out they are only held by a tiny bit of plastic on the button plate.

Got a faulty unit with glaring backlight bleeding from one edge. Returning. I intend to get another one.
