For artists and designers, this is one of the most desirable tablets on the market. The large 22-in screen can display more than 16.7million colours, providing fantastic depth and richness of detail. Like many other Wacom tablets, the Cintiq 22HD features customizable Expresskeys that you can assign preferred functions to, allowing you to streamline your workflow just the way you want it. The Cintiq 16 (£650/$530) is a smaller 16-in version, albeit with the same Full-hd resolution.
