Now the 13” and 16” Cintiq Pros obviously have benefits from being the newer technology but putting that aside, lets think about how they compare on the same footing. Especially without such a large stand, depending on your office setup, you could more than likely include another monitor or laptop to any setup. Smaller and lighter than the 27”, it is more maneuverable and takes up less space. The 22” is actually one of MacHollywood’s most purchased products for major studios. But it’s a trade off for how much screen size you are getting! Designers can comfortably keep various menus and references on display, simultaneously having enough room to draw or paint in their favorite program. The 27” can take up a lot of desk real estate, not to mention if you also get the Ergo Stand, quite a hefty edition to the already large Cintiq. Many artists work in very different working conditions compared to one another. Even though many professional artists already own the 27” or 22”, some of you might be thinking about upgrading from an Intuos or maybe you’re about to buy your first Cintiq, so which one should you get? Hopefully I can shine some light on the topic to help you decide (you really can’t go wrong with any of them). Wacom did have the Cintiq 13HD, but the Cintiq Pro is really a whole other breed, it’s the mini-me of the 27”. Ever since the Cintiq Pro arrived, artists are now faced with the tough choice of buying a Cintiq for size, portability, or affordability.
