I had no other tablet in my life but Wacom, and they all are doing great, that's all I can say Don't really know what advice you are seeking, but I will definitely recommend it as a quality product, it has a great responsiveness time and feeling. If you are able to try what you want to buy at your local wacom center (if you have any) , it could be useful too!

I use a Cintiq 22 HD and my only regret is not saving up more for a pro version. The resolution is ok but compared to my iPad pro and the monitor a have it's a bit blurry. It also lags a bit at times but that could be my older computer. I love working on it although I'm mostly using it for coloring (I prefer my iPad and Procreate for drawing but that has more to do with my back problems).

I got CSP on a sale, I think it was even 50% off. Really happy with how it's working. It has almost all functions of Photoshop when it comes to layers and drawing, but at a much more affordable price. The only thing it's missing is true CMYK profiles - which you won't need if you're not printing your comic.

It's also awesome for coloring because it has an easy way to setup a reference layer, auto fill laso, I think it even has some option for auto flatting (I don't use it)...

Cintiq is the industry standard for a reason. They work, are sensitive to input, hold up to constant use (studios use them) and I had zero problem with my ( 27inch HD version). The pro I heard has better glass, as in not as slick as the one I'm using. I opted out of the touch screen version but I have heard they have good palm rejection too. I tell everyone, if you can afford a cintiq, get a cintiq. Once you have one you can never go back to other tablets.

I can’t fault them. I think they are great.

I currently use a cintiq 22 HD. Bought in 2017 and I use it every day pretty much.

Wacom is fantastic. My first tablet was a Wacom intuos, and in college I got to use the campus's Cintiq Pro 27. I bought a Yiynova 22 hoping it would be similar, but honestly it lagged a lot and didn't have the best resolution. With a lot of saving my mom got me a Cintiq Pro 32 for my birthday last year. I couldn't recommend these more!

Ooh, interesting topic! I figure most people here love their cintiqs, but as a non-Wacom/cintiq user I guess I can play devil's advocate a bit.

This will sound weird (and again I can't comment on the quality of cintiqs since I've never used one, though they are considered the industry standard), but I generally use a regular tablet without a screen, which only plugs in with a USB cable. (Huion 610 Pro V2, 10x6.25in work area; it's a bit older now, but it's this one here: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DPC98DT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I did try a tablet with a screen for about a year or two (Ugee HK1560 15.6 In display), and while a Cintiq would probably be much better quality, what I discovered was that I never actually looked at the screen; I would always look at the computer monitor anyway, because my hand blocked half the art when I was looking down. (The monitor was also a bit more finicky in terms of compatibility; a screenless USB plug tablet works mostly like a mouse and mostly all you have to do is plug it in and maybe install a driver, whereas the screen had to be plugged in via USB, plugged into a power source, and also attached via some other port that generally needed me to buy a particular cord to attach, like a mini port or Type-C connection [though that last one could be because I'm on a mac which doesn't have an HDMI port].). The line quality as far as I noticed was about the same as the smaller Huion, though sometimes the Ugee did have more of a tendency to look digitized, though maybe a Cintiq wouldn't do that.

It's possible an artist with more precise control or attention to detail than I have might notice a bigger difference in quality between a cintiq and a cheaper tablet without a screen, but honestly based on my own experience I've tended to kind of advocate for the notion that cintiqs are great, but not the only option. (If you've never tried using a tablet before, it might be worth getting something cheap-ish to start out and just see how you like it. Drawing digitally with a stylus can feel jittery and hard to control for a while until you get used to it, but I personally didn't find this improved much with the screen over without a screen, though I guess I had been using regular tablets for quite a long time at the point I tried it. Although if you've been using a stylus already to work on your phone, I guess maybe it would feel about the same as a tablet.) If you did want to try something cheaper out, the main things I'd look out for is get something big enough, and make certain it has pressure sensitivity; the only Wacom I used was a little small cheaper one (no screen, and a 5.8x3.6 work area) without pressure sensitivity, and the quality jump when I moved to a bigger Huion of the same price was dramatic.

Oh, also size and weight of tablet can be a consideration if you're more comfortable holding it on your lap like a sketchbook, another thing I discovered with the Ugee. Cintiqs are probably a lot more streamlined, but still a consideration in terms of what tablet/screen size to go for. (For my tablets I've found the ten inch more comfortable than the 15 inch, not just in terms of weight, but also time and effort in terms of how far I had to move my hand. But, some artists prefer to be able to make bigger gestures.)

But! Anyway, mostly just wanted to add another perspective, since my experience with tablets has been a bit different from a lot of people.

Clip Studio is a great program, I used to use it (well, my version was technically Manga Studio) quite a bit for inking because it has some great brush stabilizer options, and also some really amazing ruler tools. (I use mostly Photoshop these days, but Photoshop completely lacks brush stabilizers and rulers both without additional plugins, or any vector options.) Considering one of the biggest issues most people have trying to use a tablet for the first time is the tendency toward shaky lines, the stabilizer is particularly useful.

I can only really give advice on the ones I have so here goes:

Wacom Cintiq 16: I ordered this one back in 2019. It has 15.6" in terms of diagonal screen. After three years it still works pretty well. The tips of the pen last pretty well, of course you have to order replacements at times but not too regularly. It is rather large, heavy and comes with a lot of cables so it is not really nice to travel with.

Wacom One: I ordered it in 2021. It is one of those tablets without a screen so if that is not your thing then I wouldn't pick this one. The pen tips don't last as long as the cintiq ones. But this one is cheap and the best factor is that it is very very comfortable to take for travelling since it is small. I can just stow it in my bag with no problem.

As for Clip Studio I very much recommend considering it. It's a versatile program and has a neat asset store, and they regularly hold sales for it. I bought a clip studio license for CSP Pro back in 2020 for only 25 dollars

I've gone through the Chinese tablets that failed me time and time again.
I bought a wacom one (the one with the 13 inch display) due to budget constraints (and refusing to spend a lot on a tablet by this point)
It's great. Even this low end model is vastly more responsive than the xp pen and huion ones I had.
13 inch is large enough for me doing b&w comic work. Was using 22 inchers before.

Another quick advice, buy these.

I got a Wacom Intuos in 2009 and it still works fine. I guess I will say that you need to replace nibs, if not you might end up wearing it to a point and scratching you tablet. I have no experience with on screen tablets so I can’t help you there.

I also enjoyed having a two monitor setup when I draw. Can customize settings to limit tablet use to just one monitor if needed. When I first got a 2nd monitor, my tablet was acting weird because it stretched the drawing space to cover both screens.

Do you have to put a protection film on the Wacom pro?

If someone don't have it, they should. It ate half of my nib in 5 minutes when I first tried it, it's a damn sandpaper of a coating after that I immediately got a cheap film for screen tablets (not anything "official wacom" fancy) and no nib was harmed ever since.

thank you for the information, I never thought about the film protecting the nibs, just the film protecting the display glass

When it comes to display version (cintiq), it looks like it doesn't get scratched. Maybe just a bit. Nibs are dissapearing little by little, but not a lot. Don't know how hard it is to get a film for cintiq or how it will respond to drawing with a film. But if we talk about Intuos, a film is a must have

Great, thanks again. I had an Intuos which I gave to my niece, then I got the wacom companion 2 and got a film for it.
I work on a xpen right now and I don´t like the surface or the pen, I´m not sure and that´s why I was thinking about getting
the cintiq 32pro. I mean, it´s really expensive compared to the xpen22e but good musical instruments are expensive too and
I spend hours every day working with the xpen and I´m annoyed with the slippery drawing feeling every day
