Expert review of the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 with Stand

With a screen size of 27 inches, the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 is one of the largest drawing tablets on the market. Thanks to this, it offers a large, active drawing area. After half an hour of unboxing, connecting, and installing the latest Wacom drawer, I can get started right away. Everything you need is included in the boxes, so you won't need extra tools. The only thing you need is your laptop or desktop.

The screen of the Cintiq Pro looks razor sharp thanks to the 4K resolution. Designing and editing of images goes smoothly thanks to the refresh rate of 120Hz. I work on the touchscreen both with the pen and my fingers without a delay. Multi-touch motions work smoothly too. The HDR support also creates a natural color representation. Colors come out better and look more realistic. Thanks to the LPI resolution of 5080 lines per inch, I can even draw the tiniest details on the digital paper.

With the Cintiq Pro 27, the ExpressKeys are hidden in the handles on the back of the tablet. This is surprisingly convenient while drawing. Via the Wacom Center, you can assign functions, shortcuts, and keystrokes to all buttons. Depending on how you set them, you can quickly switch between brushes and screens or undo a pencil stroke. The setup of all Expresskeys and express menus takes some time, but you won't have to think about it again after this. As a right-handed person, I put the express menus on the left of the screen. That way, I can reach them without much effort

The included Wacom Pro Pen 3 is the latest Wacom pen. You'll never have to charge this pen thanks to the EMR technology. Electromagnetic signals are being exchanged between the tablet and the pen. As a result, no battery is needed. The great thing about this pen is that I can adjust it entirely according to my liking. Think about the handle, the buttons, the pen tip, and even the weight. I have more control over my drawing experience and my hand doesn't cramp thanks to this. I also work with a lot of detail thanks to the 8192 pressure levels. I can screw the included pen holder onto the drawing tablet in a spot I like.

The Cintiq Pro 27 offers a lot of efficiency while drawing. With the ExpressKeys and the express menu, you can quickly switch between different functions and tools. At the same time, the pen glides smoothly over the screen. No matter what I draw, it appears on the screen without delay. I always work with traditional materials and paper instead of digitally. This Wacom digitizes that experience well, because it feels like I'm drawing on real paper. The Cintiq Pro 27 makes digital design efficient, easy, and accessible.
