Wacom's Cintiq line of pen displays give designers and illustrators the
ability to use a stylus directly on a screen in various creative apps. Today,
the company announced its latest entries with the Cintiq 16, Cintiq 24 and
Cintiq 24 Touch. All three feature a slimmer design than the previous models,
including thinner bezels around the outside. The company also trimmed down
the weight, making even the larger options lighter and more portable.

The new Cintiq displays work with the Pro Pen 3 where the previous generation
offered the Pro Pen 2. The third-gen version has a 12ms response time, 8,192
pressure levels, three programmable buttons, supports up to 60-degree tilt
and can be used with various grips. You can also swap out the pen nibs for a
different feel or add balance weights as needed. Inside, "an evolved IC chip
from the Pro Pen 2" recreates the precise and natural feel of drawing on
paper. It also doesn't have a battery, so that's one less thing you have to
worry about charging.

The display panels in each model offer 2.5K resolution (2560 x 1600 on the 16-
inch, 2560 x 1440 on the 23.8-inch) and 60Hz refresh rate. Wacom touts its
"true-to-life color" and anti-glare glass serves to both nix reflections and
provide adequate friction for the Pro Pen 3. That latter item produces "a
natural, paper-like drawing experience" when combined with the company's
powerful stylus.

You can expect USB-C, HDMI and USB-A ports around back, although the Cintiq
16 connects to a computer with a single USB-C cable (display signal and power
delivery). The Cintiq 16 also comes with built-in foldable legs that allow
the pen display to sit at a 20-degree angle. Both the Cintiq 24 and Cintiq 24
Touch come with an adjustable stand that offers more positions (you can
purchase this stand separately for the Cintiq 16).

In my experience, Wacom displays are at their best when touch gestures are
involved. As the name suggests, those are only available on the Cintiq 24
Touch in this trio. This added functionality allows you to zoom, pan, rotate
and more with your fingers, which makes your workflow more efficient. And on
the Cintiq 24 Touch, you can use up to 10 fingers simultaneously for those
tasks.

The new Cintiq lineup will be available later this summer. The Cintiq 16 is
$699.95, the Cintiq 24 is $1,299.95 and the Cintiq 24 Touch is $1,499.95.
