Wacom Launches the Cintiq Pro 24-inch Pen Display

Today Wacom announced the availability of the Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 pen display, expanding the Cintiq Pro high-definition range, which is designed for creative professionals seeking a larger digital canvas and the power to tackle an increasing onslaught of creative applications and programs. The new 24-inch Cintiq Pro pen display joins the previously introduced 13 and 16-inch models to form a comprehensive range of sizes for every need and workspace. The pen and touch display version will be available in May, the earlier announced 32-inch model is slated for later this year.

Performance you can see and feel
The brilliant 4k display, 98% Adobe RGB color accuracy and a billion colors deliver a true-to-life visual experience. The pen on screen experience was also improved. The combination of the new Pro Pen 2 technology (improved pressure sensitivity featuring 8,192 levels), the etched glass surface, the reduction in parallax through optical bonding and the close to zero latency, provide artists with precise control and a more natural feeling pen on screen experience.
"We know that professional artists and designers are facing an increasingly vast array of computing and display demands as they embrace emerging technologies like augmented and virtual reality, and 3D, where one size doesn't fit all," says Faik Karaoglu, Executive Vice President for the Creative Business Unit at Wacom. "Everyone has their own way of working, and we are excited to offer larger sized digital canvases with flexibility that provides more pen space for those who need it to create."

Transforming the workflow
With the Wacom Cintiq Pro Engine (also announced today), a Windows 10 computing module, featuring the new NVIDIA Quadro P3200 high performance graphic card, that slides into the back of the Cintiq Pro 24 display, creative professionals can easily transform their Cintiq Pro 24 into a high performance creative workstation fully supporting state of the art applications and workflows, including 3D, animation and augmented and virtual reality.

Availability
The Cintiq Pro 24 pen display models are available in the U.S., Japan and selected European countries as of March; for further details visit our e-store at Wacom.com. Prices ranging from $1,999 to $2,499. The Pen & Touch version of Cintiq Pro 24 will be available in May 2018 and finally the also announced Cintiq Pro 32-inch model is slated for later in 2018 due to a couple of unexpected supply chain issues.

Wacom pretty much own this market, most professional won't really look for other brand and take the risk of having driver/compatibility issue. With wacom you know that it will just work.
Beside, the only "real" competitor doesn't have a 4k screen with wide color gamut and facotory calibrated.

Wacom doesn't have a real competitor. Been using them for 20 years and nothing even comes close to them. Build and performance. I have a first gen. companion I have made companies millions off of. 3,000 dollar investment that I make over 100k a year with. Is Wacom for armatures? Not really. Will professionals look at anything less? Nope. The price is relative to the work this was designed for. Its not for dabblers.

This. once properly calibrated they have close to a 99% pantone accuracy for coated colors. Uncoated they say the same but my guess would be less.

Well first of all, most of these will be purchased by large software development companies, in bulk with a hefty discount, only a small minority will be purchased by private individuals, and most of those will be freelance professional artists who will be able to claim a large tax rebate on them.

Only the enthusiastic amateur will end up paying the full retail price.
