Some models feature multi-touch which is used to zoom, pan, rotate, and navigate your work in supporting applications. With its generous 21.5-inch HD display, widescreen format, and wide viewing angle, the Cintiq 22HD Creative Pen Display is suited for a variety of creative work, including animation, illustration, photography, design, and motion graphics. The 21.5-inch HD (1920x1080) display delivers a high-quality visual experience, rendering 16.7 million colors and offering plenty of room to edit, design, and create. |
Advanced Pen Sensitivity and Tip Sensor for Fine DetailThe Wacom Grip Pen recognizes 2,048 levels of pen pressure, helping you create natural, subtle artistic details. By varying the pressure and angle of the pen against the screen, you can dynamically change the exposure, brush size, and line weight, just like with a traditional paintbrush or marker. The professional-grade Wacom Tip Sensor captures even the most subtle nuances of pressure. The Grip Pen has customizable side switches that allow you to program common functions into the pen itself. The pen also recognizes the tilt angle, allowing you to vary the effects created by your pen by changing the angle of your stroke. |
Time-Saving, Programmable ExpressKeysThe Cintiq 22HD comes equipped with 16 programmable ExpressKeys that put convenient, application-specific keyboard shortcuts and modifiers at your fingertips. The Show Settings key displays your current key settings on-screen. Take control of up to four functions--including brush size, zooming, and scrolling--in each of your applications with the rear-mounted, finger-sensitive Touch Strips and Touch Strip toggle buttons. |
Adjustable Display for an Ergonomic WorkspaceThe Cintiq 22HD reclines like an easel, allowing you to find your most comfortable working position. In addition to reclining, the Cintiq 22HD also freely rotates up to 180 degrees in either direction to accommodate your arm's natural drawing movements or quickly change your viewing angle. If you'd like another option, you can easily remove your Cintiq from the stand and lay it flat on a tabletop or mount it on an articulating arm (sold separately). |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
About 2 years ago, I happened upon a 12WX cintiq for about half the regular retail price (around $600). I snatched it up thinking it was a great deal and as I was already used to working on a 12inch intous, figured that at the very least, being able to draw directly on the screen would enhance my productivity.
It did not.
It came down to screen size. Most of the software I use (Zbrush, Photoshop, Maya) all have extensive menus and shortcuts and the 12WX's screen-space is just enough to do any serious work. After struggling with it for a few months, I re-boxed it, shelved it and went back to my trusty Intous.
Fast forward to 2012's San Diego Comic con where I stumbled upon Wacom's booth. They were demoing their newest products.. the 22hd and the 22hd/24hd touch tablets. I excitedly jumped on the biggest and baddest with touch support... After about 15 minutes of clawing around the buggy touch interface.. (which the Wacom dude had to reset 3 times) I moved over the 22HD and wow.. heaven. I must have sat there for at least 45 minutes.. just playing. I sat there so long, they ended up putting my stuff on their overhead screen for con goers to see while I was drawing. I guess some thought I was some popular artist worth knowing (I'm not.. at least, I don't think so) as they started to take pictures of me and the scribbles I was making on the screen.. (It was Batman, for those curious minds out there).
I was sold. As soon as Amazon orders went live with their free Prime shipping, I ordered one.
I've been using it since then daily and absolutely love it. I have difficultly expressing how much it's changed my digital work life.
So pros and cons.
PROS:
- It's a very nice big screen. I love the widescreen aspect as it allows more space on the sides for menus.. though that may be a personal choice for some as it does shrink the workable (portrait style) space a little.
- Bright screen with zero pixel flaws.
- Sturdy build on the bezel for moving around whenever as you need.
- Wiring system is still a little overwrote.. but improved and streamlined through a single port on the back, which helps manage wires quite a bit.
- It works flawlessly with all my pro-software
- Game changer. In case you can't tell.. I love it. The only negative I'm finding is that when I use friends computers for work, I have a habit of touching their screens.. which they hate, understandably. :)
- Speaking of games, I play PC games on it all the time.. most recently Bioshock Infinite cranked on high and it looked great.. no streaking or screen tearing etc.
CONS:
- The base is cool.. and give you a lot of really nice adjustment options.. but for my setup, I found myself working around the stand instead of it working for me. So, depending on your desk and space.. I'd recommend you get an ergo arm for it (which I ordered off amazon as well for about a $100) That made all the difference and took "working around" out of the equation as you can easily put the screen exactly wherever it's most comfortable for you.
- The buttons work well enough, and there's a lot of them (18) which is nice. but I tend to work in a dark studio space and find fumbling around for them to be a little bit of a hassle. I wish they had LEDs or something more tactile on them to make them easier to see in the dark or find without taking your eyes off the screen.
Once again, I found a solution and bought Razer's Nostromo keypad. It's keys have LEDS in them, are all programable/assignable to multiple sets and it sits easily on your desk or in your lap to toggle keys as you draw/paint/sculpt. It felt much more natural for how I work, than reaching for my keyboard or holding the edge of the screen to access the Cintiq's buttons.
- The screen DOES have some sparkle.. the anti glare or scratch coating is pretty noticeable when you first fire it up.. but unlike some, it didn't bother me then and I hardly even notice it now. But it's there, so it's worth a mention.
- This is more a disclaimer as I've read some saying it's tough to color correct the screen. I come from a video background and generally run a few monitors at once, not only to have more screens to spread out my work space, but to compare my end product between them to get an average that looks good on all the screens. (colors and gamut can look very diverse on different monitors and screens) I know it's not the slickest way to work, but that method has done well by me this long. In short, I don't know if the Cintiq 22hd has trouble color correcting, all I can say is that I've experienced no issues with it myself.
Even without the extras I mentioned (ergo arm and nostromo keypad), the Cintiq 22hd is fantastic tool right out of the box.
If you can't get together the scratch, get the largest Wacom Intous you can as it's an amazingly efficient and comparably inexpensive tool that will do 99% of what you need and do it very well. (I still have mine for portability and backup) But if you're really serious about digital art and do it (or plan to do it) for a living, I couldn't recommend the 22HD higher.
Whatever you do, don't skimp and get the smaller 12WX cintiq.. you'll hate yourself later, it's money better spent or saved, elsewhere.. trust me. And as sexy as they seem.. IMO, I wouldn't bother with the more expensive touch models.. unless you just HAVE to have the touch function and extra few inches of screen space. $$$$$!
On Amazon's side, I have nothing but praise. At time of release, Wacom's own stock (also free shipping from them) was on back order.. I placed my order a few days after they were available with no tax and free shipping. Three days later, I was unwrapping the beast in my living room. Great job!
It isn't often I bother writing product reviews, particularly this long after I've bought it. But this is hands down the best (profession related) purchase I've ever made. So worth the money as it's immeasurably changed how efficiently I work.
It's a thing of beauty and I think you'll love it.
Mounted with a lcd mount (I use ergotron), I just can't say enough how important the 22hd cintiq was to me in my thousands of hours quest to learn to draw. And the screen is more then good enough to use it for everything... gaming... tv... surfing... production... art...
It was a critically important tool that turned into a powerhouse workstation as I learned how to better use it and the many tools available such as express keys. Paper doesn't have undo buttons, nor is it connected to the internet with vast nearly infinite vaults of photo ref. Digital makes more sense every year.
BUY THE ERGOTRON (or similar lcd arm mount)---
I never once used the included 22hd stand, instead mounted on the ergotron arm mount, half the screen used for ref, half canvas, it enables me a workflow unmatched by any other means. I can so easily pull down into my lap from a recliner swivel chair and draw in comfort for long hard days, and push it away when I need to get up. You just can't beat that! I have ensured my workstation is very inviting, and practical.
EXPRESS KEYS-
I generally only use a few, they are not backlit, which could be annoying if there was no way to turn the lights for that on or off, but it would be nice to have when I do want them. The pen buttons on the other hand, I use constantly, 1 for undo, 1 for clear canvas. I love how customizable all these buttons on the tablet and pen are, and program specific too! For my photo ref for example, my pen buttons are set to do something different- zoom in and out. The longer you use these tools for, the better you learn HOW to use them. After 6 years of use, I have everything fitting like a perfect glove.
--NEW OPTIONS in 2019--
I have not kept up with all the new drawing displays, but I see there is more options then ever out there... Some like the yiynova and xp-pen are very cheap, and highly rated. They are not industry standard, but they might be better options for some of you. Do a lot of research into the pros and cons on them, comparison videos on youtube n such.
What I do know for sure is that there is no going back to intuos for me...
Getting the 22hd was a game changer for me, and all these years later I am still very grateful to have one. I don't know how people ink with the intuos, I could never get the lines where I wanted them lol. The cintiq doesn't have that weird disconnect, because it's just like drawing on paper.
If you are serious about art, then you really should get a 22" or larger and mount it. Tablets are not the same experience, even when mounted, and how often do you really need to be mobile anyways?
---A NOTE FOR BEGINNERS---
Learning to draw is a life style. No matter the tools or apps, it all won't mean a thing if you don't use them. I am sure you all know someone who bought exercise equipment, talked up a big game about how fit they were going to be in 2 months, then proceeded to get fatter then ever... well guess what?... Drawing is like that too!
Everyone thinks they know themselves really well, they believe they have the passion to see it through, yet very few will make it in drawing, or fitness. The hardest part about learning to draw wasn't perspective, or anatomy or learning to feel 3d spacial forms... it was having to change myself... that was the hardest part. Soo good luck, and btw- there is no such thing as luck, so just get your butt to work like you mean it!
Thanks for reading my newly updated review for 2019! Here's to hopefully many more great years on my cintiq! =D
***UPDATE-- 2 months later, my cintiq broke!!!! haha just kidding it's working fine***
Please do not settle for any of the cheaper options, save up the money and get this because it is so worth it! I am being as honest as I can be with this review, I made a huge mistake of buying the cheaper options and I really want people who are potential buyers to not make the mistake I did. I was intimidated by this price point it is super expensive so I bought one of the cheaper monitors and holy crap I regret it. It did not work well at all I was constantly frustrated with the pen pressure not working and the delayed response, and I emailed for help and drivers and nothing ever worked.
I saved up the money, I bought this one and I have absolutely no regrets. This is an amazing product it works the moment you plug it in, the pen pressure it amazing there is absolutely no delay. I love the adjusters on the back so I can have it standing or even put it in my lap and draw. The shortcut buttons are the side make it so that you don't need your keyboard, and the touch pads on the back have great placement and are easy to use.
I promise you it is so worth the money if you are passionate about art and want this. Obviously if you aren't super serious about making digital art, maybe save the money and get their tablets but I am using this for my career and the convenience of being able to draw right on the monitor and getting that precision is great.
Top reviews from other countries
It was in mint condition, was very easy to set up, calibrate, and customize the quick-keys both in general and to specific programs. I have used it with Corel Painter and Photoshop, and I find with Photoshop the response time is just perfect; with Corel there is some lag, which is tolerable, but I work pretty quickly so I think I will stick with Photoshop unless there is a way to calibrate the Cintiq with Corel so it's more responsive. I find working with the Cintiq to be very natural; although some people might be turned off by the anti-glare coating, I don't mind it at all and hardly notice it. Being able to rotate the entire device while you work is also AMAZING. I love everything about it so far.
My defect: two large smudge marks like dirty fingerprints at the bottom-left. I contacted Wacom support immediately and they told me I must have damaged the monitor while installing it. A year later I found a forum where dozens of other owners had documented similar smudges in the same place - some dude at the factory must have accidentally smudged screen after screen as they went by. Armed with this evidence I called Wacom support again and got them to admit it was a factory defect. It was still under warranty, but I'd thrown out the box. They refused to swap me a refurbished model (I offered to pay full price as insurance) so that I could return mine using the new box. They said repair could take up to 3 months. I use it daily for work, so... out of luck I guess.
I want to say this is the last time I ever buy Wacom... I just wish there was another alternative!
There are a lot of cords, but totally doable once you get 'em sorted out. There are also a lot of reviews that say it is too big for anything but sitting on a desk for desk work, but my favorite place to draw is with the big ole thing plunked in my lap on top of a blanket, on my couch. I seriously use it like this 99% of the time.
**IF you are planning on using a PC laptop BUY THIS ADAPTER** (link attached)... it took me almost a month to find the right adapter between the cintiq and my laptop,,, and I'm actually ordering a couple more right now because my first one almost broke when I sat on the side of my laptop ..(oops!) https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00B2HP9T2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=AKXVBT49GGF3B&psc=1
Just do it. It's the best of of the best out there, and I would spend my money on a wacom cintiq all over again!
This tablet is HUGE. While the working surface is only about 18 inches wide, you still have a good 3.5 inches on each side taken by a black glass bar and the plastic frame, which makes the whole thing incredibly large (25.5 inches wide) with a lot of "useless" space taken by other things than the screen itself. So plan more space than necessary on your workspace.
I am a little disappointed by the screen. Yes it is big, but it gives you that "screen door" effect where you see every pixel like a grid. For a tablet that size, a better screen resolution would have been appreciated and required for the price tag.
The stand that comes with it is ok, but if you put it on a desktop, it makes your tablet be very high up, and your position might not be ideal. Furthermore, since the tablet is so big, having it on your desktop will most likely end up taking most of your available space, so I recommend getting an arm mount instead (I got the Ergotron LX, which works great). It will allow you to have more mobility with your tablet for a better position (your back will thank you) and you can move it away when you're done.
While the cables are great, they are a little short! I had trouble getting them to my PC once my tablet was installed, so make sure your setup is close to each other.
In general, this is a wonderful tablet! However, for the price tag, I was kind of expecting better.
