Wacom reveals upgraded Cintiq pen displays for creatives
The Wacom Cintiq 16. Photo: Wacom Wacom has announced its latest pen displays, offering three new models with the Cintiq 16, Cintiq 24 and Cintiq 24 Touch. Unlike the company's Intuos lineup, the Cintiq series features displays, allowing them to function as monitors and touch-sensitive devices. The latest Cintiqs offer slightly larger displays yet thinner designs, and subtle upgrades across the board. The lineup now includes the Cintiq 24 Touch, which offers 10-finger touch capacity in addition to pen control. Previously, you had to opt for the Pro models of the Cintiq lineup if you wanted touch control. The Cintiq 16 and Cintiq 24 do not offer touch control. The existing Cintiq lineup included a 16-inch and 22-inch offering, but the company has bumped the larger one up to 24 inches for greater screen real estate. Even the 16-inch received a slight bump in screen size as well. Despite the larger sizes, both are slimmer than the previous models. For example, at 22mm, the Cintiq 24 is almost half the thickness of the Cintiq 22. The Cintiq 24 offers a large display. Photo: Wacom The resolution of both sizes is also greater than the previous models, jumping from full HD to 2560 x 1600 for the smaller device and 2560 x 1440 for the larger. Wacom improved color gamut on both, with each now covering 100% of sRGB. Cintiq also increased the maximum brightness substantially. All of these upgrades should offer a better experience for photographers looking to edit their images with the Cintiq tablets, even when working in bright locations. Wacom released the Pro Pen 3 in 2022, but announced it again in February with its major refresh of the Intuos Pro lineup. Now, the Cintiq series benefits from the updated pen as well. All new Cintiq models are compatible with the Pro Pen 3, which offers lots of customization, responsiveness and accuracy. The Cintiq 24 and Cintiq 24 Touch include an adjustable stand. All three models are VESA-compatible (75 x 75mm). Image: Wacom Additional upgrades include new anti-glare etched glass to reduce reflections, making it easier to see while editing or drawing. A USB-C port joins the existing HDMI and USB-A connections. The Cintiq 24 includes the Wacom Adjustable Stand, which allows for a range of angle adjustments, while the Cintiq 16 comes with fold-out legs. The Cintiq 16 is compatible with the stand, though it is a separate purchase. The Wacom Cintiq 16, Cintiq 24 and Cintiq 24 Touch will be available sometime this summer, costing $700, $1300 and $1500, respectively. Press release: Made to Create, Built to Grow — Wacom Introduces the New Wacom Cintiq Line Wacom unveils a new generation of Wacom Cintiq pen displays — the Cintiq 16, Cintiq 24, and Cintiq 24 touch — delivering professional-grade performance that puts professional creative tools within reach, combining Wacom’s Pro Pen 3 technology, compact design, and usability for creators ready to take the next step. TOKYO – June 5, 2025 – Wacom today launched the new Cintiq 16, Cintiq 24, and Cintiq 24 touch pen displays, empowering creators to break boundaries with professional tools made attainable without compromise. Combining the flagship Wacom Pro Pen 3, a slimmer design, and sharp displays built for creative work, these models are built for artists and designers ready to level up their craft and dive headfirst into their boldest ideas. “Creativity isn’t about limits—it’s about diving into the extraordinary,” said Koji Yano, Senior Vice President at Wacom. “The new Cintiq line is for creators who refuse to settle. It’s not just a tool—it’s the spark that turns ‘what if’ into ‘what’s next.’” Natural Feel with the Wacom Pro Pen 3 Utilizing the Wacom Pro Pen 3, the new Cintiq models provide responsive, precise pen strokes thanks to enhanced sampling rate and pressure sensitivity. Artists experience fluid lines closely following movement—supporting expression with improved control. Optional accessories let users customize grip thickness, weight balance, and button layout for comfort during long sessions. Another optional accessory is the Wacom Pro Pen 3 Wood Grip, sold separately, which stands out with its warm, textured finish—offering a more natural feel in the hand for those who prefer an organic touch during long drawing sessions. Clear Display and Comfortable Viewing Available in 16.0” (2560 x 1600 resolution) and 23.8” (2560 x 1440 resolution) sizes, the Cintiq line includes Pen-only and a Pen & Touch model (23.8” only). Direct bonding minimizes the gap between the pen tip and the cursor. Anti-glare etched glass reduces reflections and minimizes eye fatigue.
