WACOM CINTIQ 24 HD TOUCH | Review When Used with Adobe Illustrator

[@keatsaenea]

First time i watched Cintiq24HD i've cried... and i still do it when I watch how it works... Definitely: this is a graphic-designer/illustrator "must have"!!

[@UConceptPublishing]

I've been using my 21" since they came out about 10 years go, if I am not mistaken and can't live without it. I can imagine how cool would be to have the touch also.

[@kahinoart]

Thank you for this review. It is straightforward and clear on how to use it. Cannot wait for mine to arrive.

[@astutegraphics]

In our experience, no it does not freeze a lot. Before purchasing, I'd contact Wacom and make sure it works great with the system you have.

[@n8ryder]

Drooool! I want this so bad!! This was an excellent review. Thanks so much!

[@UConceptPublishing]

It was great being able to put a face to that wonderful voice/accent. thanks for the great tutorials

[@leetronix]

This is a beautiful piece of equipment and I love using mine. I run a wide array of high end design solutions and also have created websites on this screen. Because it is not a glossy screen this means you really can work on the details perfectly thus providing the perfect end solution. One thing he did not mention is the on screen keyboard can be sized to your liking through just moving the corner of the keyboard and adjusting like a desktop web page. You can have it full size or custom sized which ever. Also it will display the default keyboard for either Mac or Windows or whichever PC variance you are using. You can rotate the screen with a majority of software solutions and some software is better geared than others for the hardware. Additionally you can also purchase spray pens and other finite tip pens if you so require. Just one final point you can completely remove the cables that come as standard and use connector cables straight out the Wacom that you prefer so you might no want to run any through conversion adaptors instead, so that can be by passed. Now for the more negative comments: There is nothing wrong with these screens for all those reading the negative comments. They are designed specifically that way and anyone who says they are scratching their screen are making it up. I am talking about the 24" and 27" here. The screen will perform according the power of the machine it is working off. As for the wacom technology that is an aid which does not hinder any performance and software compatible as well as stand alone configurable. My take is that a lot people do not read the instructions or assume they now how it works and then do not bother to set it up properly.

[@bradbailey5481]

How does the setup work? I have Macbook Pro laptop. The cintiq 22hd touch is powered by 3 different cords... That seems like a hastle. It's the only turn off so far :l

[@astutegraphics]

+Brad Bailey The cables are always present, but it's not really a portable device, so once set up neatly, you can forget about them. Wacom thoughtfully supplied the Cintiq 24 with long cables, so I'd be surprised if you need to extend them in any way.

[@RetroRic79]

Brilliant review, i think you've finally sold me on the idea of getting one of these. Wasn't sure about the use of touch features but I think you demonstrated those quite well. Anyone who is worried that this thing locks up because the strokes appear to lag. I think you'll find that when you draw in illustrator with the pen tool, you are essentially drawing paths and the software doesn't render the pixel information until the path has been completed. If you use the brush tool then the pixel information is rendered as you draw!

[@zebasxx]

very good demostration on how to use the product.

[@Lesleychill]

Great demo thank you, is there a delay on laying down the pen lines? it looked like there was.

[@astutegraphics]

I would double check with Wacom to make sure that it would work with your system before making a purchase =)

[@Garrett_Bear_Stap]

No, but there is a setting that allows you to turn the image. The round button on the left side can be set to turn the image.

[@astutegraphics]

Yobz, you would just need to go to the Wacom page and search there. You'd have to provide them with some information about your system then it will be available to you. Best wishes! =)

[@daniellemdurban]

Another great product by Lynktec; they are on the right track with the tips on their stylus'. Longer lasting and writes better and more precisely. Their recent stylus that I’ve tried out, the Apex, is my favorite for the pen to paper feel it creates!

[@iorioriorio]

This is the future of art.....but I'll wait till it comes down to about 300 u.s. dollars...I got time,

[@abdulmalik2388]

lol only a decade more to go bud

[@Acheiropoietos]

Hi Nick, I'm a customer of Astute plugins (all excellent, thank you). Have you / will be reviewing android tablets and the like for drawing with Illustrator?

[@Mr2pint]

Looks amazing apart from the lag which looks horrible.

[@kairus1]

i just got the cintiq22hd love it!

[@pwnagexe]

Hey mate, great video I love you passion for the product ha ha. It looks amazing.

[@gamaro74]

beautiful and very useful features!

[@sublimeArtist]

sublime piece of machine!

[@mikuhatsune8413]

ah, I noticed that when you said I gave too much information! I'll delete the post, sorry and thank you for being nice ^^

[@farouklens]

great review! I wish I had one and cry..

[@rikriot9400]

great informative video. Thanks

[@mynickisnick4302]

the same technology can be found on the thinkpad x230 tablet for a fraction of the price - pen and touch input; definitely NOT the same experience but... it's affordable and light

[@patrik9974]

Sorry but do I need to have drawing skills as well when I want to study PC Graphics? Like in programme etc..

[@smaakjeks]

Sigh. My hobbies are drawing and photography. Why do I have to have such potentially expensive hobbies D:

[@TheArtManga]

Does this pen of yours calibrate to tablet? I mean Is it sync to the tip of your pen like normally we draw on the paper?

[@DavidHunanyan]

I hate that the brushstroke appeares with a delay

[@theredmaster_superbee]

Friend ... have spent 5 years of that mode 24 hdl, today there is a new generation Cintiq 27-inch QHD in ... I have not seen a live but I imagine they're awesome, bought a 13-inch HD Companion, the display and resolution are good without being great, but today in 2016 have had a wonderful opportunity to buy an old (an apology so if you think an insult to his team) Cintiq 24 HD not touch on such a cheap price I was tempted impossible ... 650 dollars, delivering new home (I live in Mexico ... that explains my bad writing in English jajajaj) do you think it was a good idea? Is that bad resolution 24 hd? My dream is to buy the 27 qHD but it is still very expensive ... also had the opportunity to buy two cintiq 22 hd only pen ... but the resolution is a bit bad ... worse resolution 24HD? I think the price of 650 dollars for the new team and boxed unopened ... was an impossible temptation to let go ... just tell me ... I'm horribly disappointed when you turn the screen? Is very frightening the resolution? Greetings from Mexico.

[@CarlosGarro]

Hola, $650 es efectivamente una super oferta. La resolución de 1920 x 1200 no está mal y créeme que es suficiente. Mi consejo es que aproveches la oportunidad pero presta atención a que te cumplan garantías, esto porque si se daña te puede salir muy caro el arreglo. Cualquier duda me escribes de vuelta.

[@astutegraphics]

Thanks Carlos! :)

[@theredmaster_superbee]

Carlos Garro Graaaaaaaaacias por responder en mi idioma... me costó un mundo intentar escribir en ingles jajaja, sí, en efecto... me confirmaron, son nuevas y con garantías, pero en la universidad donde trabajo me dieron una pobre y triste Cintiq HD22... es pésima la resolución, es un buen equipo, pero un diseñador no puede trabajar en pleno siglo 21 con un monitor tan malo, la pluma es una maravilla... pero tengo terror porque estoy feliz viviendo la espera de mi Cintiq24 pero... temo que la resolución es tan mala (o peor) que la versión 22HD, pero el precio era una exageración imposible de dejar pasar... es nueva, caja cerrada, a un súper precio... ufff he pensado comprar otras 3 al menos para venderlas. Muchas gracias Carlos por tomarte el tiempo para responderme... en verdad estoy emocionado... aunque sé que soñaba con la versión 27 QHD la oportunidad de compra la 24HD me dejó feliz... jajaja

[@creepshowandgore1112]

What's the newer versions like, the QHD 24"

[@1AB09CC3]

may i ask where this accent is originating from? especially the U e.g. in "but" at 03:30 or "brush" at 05:27. i've heard this accent also from a few other people here on YT but don't know where its from. probably because my first language is german :)

[@orestesdd]

Could just the new Windows 8.1 PC with touch screen and the appropriate software work as well as this super expensive device? Anyhow, thanks.

[@astutegraphics]

Presumably it should - however this is something you will need to check with Wacom: www.wacom.com/en/gb/contact

[@davidgzmn12345]

you would have any of the pressure sensitivity that wacom has, the part that makes it great for drawing and retouching.

[@olegkhokhlov]

So natural except the price

[@astutegraphics]

Thanks Janet :)

[@RayoBeatz]

what your your mac specs pretty please i subscribed and gave it a like.

[@yobzbermil4407]

sir i found my old wacom..just want to ask where i can download driver for this CTE-440..

[@KJDaMiSSiLe]

it looks like it lags a bit does it freeze a lot

[@mariaisabelrodrigues6264]

Can you say again how much is it? I couldn't understand :/

[@astutegraphics]

Thank you =D

[@FrostPhoto1]

I don´t think...i wait new version...It's not completely without error.

[@amirshemesh7014]

Thank you for this

[@astutegraphics]

Thanks! =)

[@riccia888]

can you connect this with macbook pro retina using dvi adapator with no problem?

[@bellaphone5719]

I was going to ask the same thing so can you

[@a552bcx]

your underpowered Mac is causing the line lag and zoom lag. Perhaps I recommend that you get a a custom built PC with better up to date GPU, CPU and faster beefier RAM that you could upgrade. Trust me, your cintiq experience would be buttery smooth and less jittery

[@levitabusman]

so it cant rotate?

[@lMsouthpaw]

This is an awesome review sir. I encourage anybody in the market to also check out the Yiynova msp19u as a 700 dollar alternative. I have heard many good things about it

[@rhadiem]

I'm crying because I don't have one, and I've never even tried it.

[@KalleZz_]

DAVID HUNANYAN It is coz illustrators smooth technique, doesnt do that in photoshop

[@MrRadioactivegamer]

I don't think Santa can help you with that one buddy..

[@mauricemarsh4183]

So.................Are you a art or a animator?

[@astutegraphics]

[@susanellis7780]

Having a spinal disability. This would be excellent for me to work on my photography graphics. More comfortably. But. It is the ££££££

[@astutegraphics]

+Susan Ellis Hi Susan - you may want to consider a 2nd hand Cintiq. From the quality of the ones we have in the office, I would personally have little trouble justifying this to myself and be fairly confident it would last several years more in constant service!

[@duncanbiscotti]

it breaks

[@massarde9591]

the tutorial was great mate, many tks , however the idea to spend 2.500 pounds in a touch screen monitor is crazy.. that is a monitor with touch screen. it is what it is.. ya it would make my job much easy but just because i need toilet paper doesnt mean i have to spend 10.000 pound.

[@thecage2819]

I see it as an investment, you pay 2k for this, but the speed you can now work with and maybe even get better detail on your pieces will pay itself quickly

[@MiroslavPetrinec]

little belated

[@psheno86]

nice algorithm

[@JamesBalazs]

999subs? +1 now you have 1000

[@BriannaLouder]

i'm going to sell my first born child for this

[@mikuhatsune8413]

at least I'm interested in drawing instead of adult things, and I didn't say I will tell my father to buy it, I will buy another one named bamboo manga which is cheaper, I said I wanted this, not beg to buy this

[@momiji527]

３０万もするやつ持ってるね。すごい

[@69ingChipmunks100]

id love to take an old Intuos off your hands........

[@markcallaway754]

lol,600 dollars...this is like over $1,000

[@Anike127]

Ah and being rude to our young ones is supposed to help them grow up better. Jerk. Could just tell her she's giving out too much personal information.
