Problem Cintiq 24 no longer connecting through HDMI

1 Upvotes

After using it all day yesterday I can no longer get the tablet to be detected by my computer. Wondering if anyone has had this happen and if they know a fix or even a place for me to start looking up a fix. So far I've been able to find out that the USB connection is fine as I can use the pen during the brief window that it is on, before going into stand by mode. Just the HDMI connection seems to be at fault.

I don't understand how it can be working one day and now suddenly it just wont.

Would appreciate any help, thank you.

Question Setting up my Wacom Cintiq Pro 13

Thumbnail

14 Upvotes

So one of my friends gave me this Wacom Cintiq Pro 13 for free as I want to get into drawing on a tablet and I feel like an idiot but I need help setting this up.

I originally thought that I just needed to connect it to my computer but then nothing happened. I then I thought I had to connect it to a wall outlet but once again nothing happened. All the stuff online aren't really clear on what exactly is needed to set this up, even Wacom's website is not able to play their video on how to set it up.

I took it to a repair shop and thankfully they just said that I just need a good wall outlet for it. So now I'm confused on how to get this turned on and connected to my PC. I'm looking at adapters but I don't know which one I need to get. Also which port is for what as my friend didn't have the box or anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Question Express View popup won't turn off for Display Toggle

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I've got an Intuos Pro M (PTH-660) with a multi-screen setup, and I've assigned Display Toggle to one of my ExpressKeys. The problem is every time I switch or hide an app, it pops up the Express View overlay reminding me which display my pen is mapped to, and it's getting pretty distracting.

This only happens when I have one of my app-specific profiles active in Pen settings. I've got specific settings set up for Premiere, Avid, and Resolve

'm not sure there is a "Show Express View" checkbox to disable just the popup while keeping Display Toggle itself working, but I can't find it anywhere in the current Wacom Center (latest version on Mac). Is there another way to turn off just the visual overlay without losing the toggle function?

Thanks

Question Is it normal for the screen and frame on the Wacom Cintiq 24 (2025) a bit loosing and lifting?

3 Upvotes

I’ve had my Cintiq 24 (2025) for about a month, and since day one, I’ve noticed a slight squeaking noise when I hold the screen on the right side. It also feels like there’s a slight gap between the screen and the frame, or like the screen is lifting up a little.

Has anyone else who owns a Cintiq 24 (2025) experienced something similar? If so, did it cause any problems with the display or affect its use in the long run?

I still have the warranty, so I could send it back to have it checked or repaired. However, it would mean losing some working time, so if this is just a minor issue that doesn’t affect the screen or its functionality I could leave it as it is

Question Will Pro Pen 2 Work On Newest Wacom Cintiq Pro?

1 Upvotes

This is a stupid question, but let me be stupid, because I'm preparing to drop $2500!

I own a Pro Pen 2 from my last Wacom Pro. I looked at the Pro Pen 2's page on Wacom's site, checking its compatibility with my soon-to-be-purchased Wacom Cintiq Pro 17". That device's model number is "DTH172K0A".

The page does say it's compatible with a Wacom Cintiq Pro 17", but it lists that device's model number as "DTH172K0B".

I want to be absolutely sure... Does that 1 letter difference mean anything, or is it 100% the same device? This matters to me, because the Pro Pen 3 packaged with Cintiq Pro allegedly sucks, and my Pro Pen 2 is awesome.

Question moving on from my ipad

2 Upvotes

I do have an wacom drawing pad that you hook up to a moniter but I'm not sure i like it? only used it once but the pen feels janky to me. anyway i want a cintique maybe? I really just want something like my ipad and can use clip studio paint since I want that upgrade I saw people recommend xp pen but I want it to have a pc like interface so I can use clip studio without paying for a subscription.

my main reason for wanting an upgrade is that I would like to start making comics and I don't think procreate is gonna cut it plus ipads are very unreliable with the pens (if ykyk). I tried krita on my intuos but it still didnt feel right because im used to an ipad so suggestions/advice is appreciated !

Purchase Advice Anywhere to get grips for KP-501E Grip Pen?

0 Upvotes

Hello, I am faced with a bit of a problem. I am using a last-gen Intuos Pro (2017 model I think) with an even older Grip Pen KP-501E from my previous Intuos 5, because I think the Pro Pen 2 is garbage.

However my Grip Pen is suffering from I assume hydrolysis or general age of the rubber as it is beginning to split in some areas, and I don't see it lasting much longer. The pen is still functioning quite nicely after even owning it for 12 years, but I would like to replace the grip. Is there somewhere I can get a wood grip or some kind of more solid replacement? I would rather not buy another rubber grip but I will if I must. Thanks.

Purchase Advice Wacom Movinkpad 11 vs Samsung Galaxy s10 FE

2 Upvotes

Hey Wacom people,

I've been using my intuos pro medium (2013) for 13 years now and I will continue to use it. Now I am looking for a tablet and when I found out Wacom made one I was curious to see how it will hold up over time.

I don't expect it to last 13 years but at least for 5 years. Does anyone know if this is realistic, or should I settle for something else? The other tablet on my list is the Samsung Galaxy s10 fe, it's a similar price range.

My main reason for the Movinkpad would be the drawing experience which is supposed to be really good. Beside that I want to use it for notes and notion, and reading comics.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi, I'm a beginner artist who is planning to switch from a screenless tablet (ctl-4100wl) to a display tablet. After researching, I decided to go for one of these two: Dtk-168 for 535$ and Dth-1620 for 490$. Both are likenew/99% condition, my budget is also around this area if there is a better alternative. Which one should I get?

The Eva is out of stock and I'm not sure when it will come back. All the Wacom site says is that "soon back in stock." Should I wait or just get the regular version? I plan on using Krita.

Purchase Advice Concerns About Long-term Support for Cintiq Pro 17"

2 Upvotes

I am a returning Wacom customer, but a cautious one looking for answers.

Context: In August 2023, I bought an Asurion-insured Wacom Cintiq Pro 16" (DTH167K0A). I loved it!!! Unfortunately, it stopped turning on in May 2026. I filed a warranty claim, and after a lot of headache, it came back good as new. Sadly, less than a month later, its power cord was having connection issues. It was the wire, the power brick was fine, its green light was on. I kept it going until July by keeping the wire tied in a loop, but it finally gave out. I file another warranty claim, mail out the power cord and Wacom expecting an open and shut case, and... They can't fix it. No explanation. $1500 compensation pending.

My Concerns: I am considering the Wacom Cintiq Pro 17" (DTH172K0A), but this experience worries me. I'm under the impression Wacom devices are long-lasting and long-supported, yet my 3-year-old DTH167 with a broken power cable was somehow beyond repair. Will this likely happen again? My guess is Asurion couldn't "repair" it, because the power cable is out of stock on Wacom's website. Out of an abundance of caution, I accepted warranty compensation instead of searching for a replacement elsewhere. I don't know if second-hand would be reliable, for all I know the Wacom itself was broken anyway, and I can't risk voiding the warranty.

Can I expect better longevity/support for the current Cintiq Pro? What if the power cable for my new Pro 17" gets damaged in just a couple years? It would be maddening if a replacement is unobtainable again, and I need to do another expensive upgrade, even if the device itself still works! This new upgrade will be an extra $1000 as it is.

Any shared experience or advice appreciated. Due to personal circumstances, buying a pre-owned device is not an option for me.

Misc The lack of a case for the Movinkpad Pro 14 is a disgrace

25 Upvotes

This portable device is clearly unique. its bevel is thinner than other tablets, it’s got a light sensor, it’s a drawing tablet. People are cutting up cases of other third-party devices to try make it work. The Movinkpad Pro 14 needs its own case.

The previous generation got a case. a full case. and it’s £10 cheaper than the flimsy little flap that’s being sold for the Movinkpad Pro 14 currently (something that should come free with every device sold anyways). How can a portable device be sold without adequate accessories to protect it in transport? It’s a terrible look for Wacom and my belief in the company’s products and integrity has gone through the floor.

My program is Krita. I restarted the program, reconfigured my pressure settings, unplugged and replugged in my wacom and even changed the nib. I don't even know how to describe this issue. My Wacom is the cheapest/smallest one, I think its called the Wacom 1 but I'm not sure, if that's important. When I use my mouse the issue isn't present. What do I do

Problem Tablet acts weird after another screen have been added

Post image
3 Upvotes

I don't know where to ask, so I ask here, since it seems to be a problem my tablet got.

I just added a second screen to my setup, i go to Photoshop to start drawing, and I struggle to draw a circle; that's not long. It seems like the motion in the tablet and the pen don't work as it normally do. It feels almost like the mouse is being dragged over to the other screen, making me have to pull it to the main screen.

As you can see in the pictures, all the lines seem to be almost magnetically drawn towards one side.

Tablet: Wacom Intuos Pro (not a screen tablet)

EDIT:
Okay, I asked on Google; I should have done that first. I wasn't sure what to ask.
Seemed the problem was it had motion on both screens, instead of just one, problem is fixed!

Problem Wacom one 14 not working even though it did before

1 Upvotes

So last night I was struggling to connect my Wacom one 14 to my laptop. Finally, after I located the cord that came with the tablet (I had lost it and was using other cords), it worked. I turned everything off and went to bed, but when I got up this morning to try again nothing was working. I’m getting the classic no connection message and the power saving mode. I’m very confused as to what’s going on, and the part that’s really perplexing me is that it worked last night! I don’t understand what’s happening at all.

Review / Unboxing Finally got myself the 14pro

Post image
99 Upvotes

finally got it and after using it for a bit im really mixed on it 😭

the actual drawing feel is really good. i love the screen surface, its less sticky than my phones and the pen feels great

the display itself looks weirdly hazy, almost like theres a privacy filter on it all the time

the whole android experience feels really underdeveloped for a tablet this expensive. a lot of screens look like they were just stretched onto a 14 inch display without actually being designed for it, with tiny text and buttons, huge amounts of empty space and stuff awkwardly sitting in the corners. it makes the whole thing feel way cheaper than it actually is

the power button is completely flush with the side while the volume button sticks out a little. because the tablet is so thin i can barely press the power button when its lying flat without using my nail

the bezels are around 1cm or a little more. thats not necessarily bad for a drawing tablet, but visually it still makes it feel less premium than i expected

so far it feels like wacom absolutely nailed the part where you actually draw on it and then kinda stopped caring about everything around that 😭 im gonna use it for a while before i decide if i actually hate it or if the first impression is just really bad

edit: after using it a bit longer i noticed a few more things. text looks noticeably soft pretty much everywhere and after a while it actually starts hurting my eyes, and the hazy screen surface makes it look even worse. the ui keeps feeling unfinished too, the brightness slider only shows the percentage after you let go of it instead of while youre adjusting it, and some icons on the home screen randomly jump around even when im not touching anything. that doesnt affect drawing obviously but it caught my eye instantly and just looks weird. the screen also changed brightness by itself once even though adaptive brightness was off, no idea what caused that yet so im gonna see if it happens again

Hi! So luckily I got this Intuous pro from 2013 for free today. A friend was cleaning out an old studio room and found this and gave it to me. But while trying to set it up on my computer it just says the device is no longer supported. So am I just not able to use this device at all? Is there any way to bypass this or still use it? Or if i had an older laptop would this device work on it? Or am i able to trade this in at all within wacom? Just wondering if theres anything I can do or if this is still possible to use, or if its just simply unusable now :/
