Experience professional creativity in new, pioneering dimensions. Immerse yourself completely in your creative process as you work naturally and directly on-screen -- zooming, panning, rotating and navigating with intuitive multi-touch gestures. 

The Cintiq 24HD touch offers life-like colours, displaying a full 97% of the Adobe colour space, and over one billion colours on its 24" HD display. The innovative stand enables you to quickly reposition the display into various ergonomic working positions, while sophisticated pen technology gives you extremely precise control over pressure-sensitive effects.

Explore your creative potential and push your productivity in design, image, video and art -- with the pioneering spirit of Cintiq 24HD touch, says Wacom.

Wacom claims that muti-touch, which can be used to manipulate a 3D model or to pan, zoom and rotate an image, helps create an immersive experience and natural way of working. "The Cintiq 24HD touch closely replicates the experience of working with two hands when using traditional materials such as paints, markers and clay while giving the artist powerful capabilities that only exist in today’s creative software applications," said a Wacom spokesperson.

Also minimizing keyboard dependency are two Touch Rings which are positioned on either side of the display and can be used to access frequently used shortcut commands and perform functions such as zooming, scrolling and changing brush size. There are also 10 customizable ExpressKeys (five on each side of the tablet), which can be set for application-specific shortcuts.

The counter-weighted stand of the Wacom Cintiq 24HD means it can be adjusted to bring the display surface over the edge of the desk, so that it floats just above your knees, or more vertically like an easel.

The Cintiq 24HD touch – which measures 30.3 x 18.3 x 2.5 inches (769.3 x 463.74 x 64 mm) and weighs 28.6 kg (63 lb) with the stand, 13.7 kg (30.2 lb) without – is expected to ship in August 2012 with a price of US$3,699.
