@@aaronrutten I'm using a Cintiq 16 and I don't think I'd want a larger tablet display with the same resolution.

@@randommcranderson5155 (and others) In general, drawing too close to the screen is not healthy for several reasons, one of the main ones being your eyesight care (hear me well, I had eyesight as sharp as to pass the air militar academy exams (I didn't go there, is what my oculist compared it too as a teenager) and after tons of years working, first ones not being very careful, at 46 I can't read cr4p without glasses, my 75 year old mother has sharper eyesight now ! ). The distance being at least the length of your flexed (in a wide angle) arm, and the wacom cintiq - or whatever- at a 45º angle, or more vertical, to keep your back straight, neck straight and muscles of both fully relaxed, like resting back, instead of any of the two slightly inclined forward (as then all gets in tension). And super important, the muscles besides the neck, 100% relaxed. So you don't get that close to the screen. If need detailing, do digital zoom, but you need that way less with a 22 (and even less with a 27), and indeed, you will see yourself naturally drawing from farther than with the 16 that you might be using. 8 hours a day (or more) with anything between 12 - 16, has led to certain important problems to enough people I know as to warn it here. With the proper body position, not only your protect more your general health, including longer sessions without pain or tiring sensation (you should make frequent pauses and stretch legs and arms, tho, place the eyes in distance points, etc), and you allow better global view of the piece, essential for good composition of the art, AND allow drawing better from shoulder or elbow... you are at a larger distance from the screen, and then you don't really notice the pixel.

I have some good advice if you are planning on getting a 1300+ model.....get some clear acetate plastic the kind that you use to laminate paper but don't put paper in between the acetate just melt it together with the machine like the kind they have at school and tape it to the screen. I once got a small scratch on my tablet and after that i said no more. It was worked great with no degradation in quality or sensitivity.

The new Cintiq 22 only has HD resolution at 1920 x 1080 and 72% AdobeRGB color gamut, but has the new pen with 8000 pressure levels, and comes with a stand.

Wow really?! Wacom made a 22 inch entry version? I'm impressed . Very glad they went with separate cables. Also shocked they have a stand for it - disappointed there is no feet. I do like that angle to draw on. It makes me happy to see Wacom looking out for beginner artist and to compete for that market. For 1200$ I gotta say thats really good. My off brand (that we will not disclose lol) was around that size. Stupid huge and what did I get? A bad experience. Died in a month and so on. It was 900$ too. If I was making a choice on a tablet and I wanted a BIG one - god damn wacom really have stepped up. While this is exciting, I am let down with the 72 NTSC, but I get it - it's an entry level. I do own a Cintiq Pro, so nothing to complain about (lol fan noise). Rest In Peace. 22HD. It''s been a bash.

Overall, very happy with my decision to move to the new 22 model.

@Maindric5 жыл бұрын
6:50 This is not completely true as the resolution determines active area on the screen. The UI elements are scaled at the same ratio as the drawing area if the resolution remains at 1080p. This can be offset by some screen scaling options, but that is not supported in all software. The 22" would still provide a larger drawing area as the pixels themselves are larger.

Excellent review, and thanks for the heads-up (I was unaware! :O ). I guess then the color calibration situation is similar to the 16 model : Fairly accurate by default, getting very good once calibrated. Is it ? Now, I have to give it to Wacom. We (me, personally, in their official channel, did so) had prayed for a 22 model in the affordable line. And they have pretty promptly delivered it. Surely they have seen the obvious market and competing advantages of it to take the decision, but nonetheless, is an extremely positive move for us. 1200$ (1067 euros, at this very instant) is within the reach of most freelancers. :) PD: I for one prefer this cabling, seems in very long years it'd be easier to find a not too expensive replacement if some cable gets wrecked.
@aaronrutten5 жыл бұрын
