Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 Review

The range of Wacom Cintiq Pro tablets and pen displays is designed for photographers, video editors, web designers, graphic designers and other creatives. Using a pen display is a far more natural and ergonomic way to work than using a mouse and keyboard, which is why so many creatives have moved to a pen display to edit their images and videos.

If you want to know more about the latest model to join the line-up, our Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 Review has everything you need to know, including a comparison between three current pro displays – the Pro 27, 24 and 16-inch models.

When was the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 released and how much is it?

The latest model the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 arrived on 28 September 2002, with a launch price of £3,759.00, which includes a stand and the new Pro Pen 3. The Cintiq Pro 24 sits just below the 27-inch model and costs £1,799.00 without a Cintiq Pro 24 Ergo Stand, which you can add for £449.00. The 24-inch model arrived in May 2018 so Wacom has had some time to add new features and develop an entirely new Pro Pen 3 experience.

Who’s the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 for?

You need a Mac or PC to run any of the Wacom Cintiq range and it works by the creator drawing with a pen on the display itself. This makes for a natural experience, which is both quick and intuitive, perfect for photo and video editing, illustration and graphic design applications. Anyone who draws or lays out work will benefit from the display experience.

What’s new in the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27

The design of the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 display has been updated with a thin bezel so that the screen fills more space while the footprint is smaller. It’s actually smaller than the 24-inch model, which is great news for anyone with more limited desk space available for the second screen. The screen itself has HDR Gamma support and a far superior 120HZ refresh rate, which is easier on the eyes and updates more quickly.

The eight included ExpressKeys have also been revamped with a Grip-type design, while being relocated in the new rear grip of the display to free up the main area for screen input.

You’ll also find 1/4-inch UNC thread holes along the top of the display, which is ideal for mounting accessories such as LED lights, cameras and microphones.

Wacom has also release a battery-free Pro Pen 3, which is entirely updated with customisable weight, grip thickness, customisable pen buttons and centre of gravity. This makes for a more personalised drawing experience and speeds up production.

This is also Wacom’s most sustainable Cintiq ever, using recycled materials where possible, although it scores a G for energy performance we’re glad to see more manufacturers striving for greener products.
