I want to tell you my experience with the Wacom Cintiq 13HD and would like to apologize in advance that grammar, wording and spelling are not my strengths.
The items listed below are the ones that I have "personally" disturbed or fallen. My main purpose is to draw as a hobby.
Pro:
+ Full HD resolution 1920x1080
+ Surprisingly thin
+ It is small, almost as big as my 15.6 "laptop. Laptop + Cintiq 13HD + 15.6" laptop bag = No problem
+ Not a big stink, it is only slightly in the air (My Intuos5 Touch L stank unpack quite strong for this perverse plastic smell, it held next 2 weeks long!)
+ It looks very high quality of (for that I'm going to write something down)
+ Comparatively very low wear of the pen tip (Cintiq 13HD> Intuos5, there are worlds apart)
+ Suitable for right and left handers
+ Total of 3 add. Positions by the stand set
+ Hardly Delay
+ The Intuos5 pen is compatible with the Cintiq
Neutral:
- 3-in-1 cable: The cable looks solid and robust through the thickness, but there is sometimes in the way when I use my keyboard and the second monitor (The cable is quite rigid). When it gets a little uncomfortable laptop because my HDMI output is on the left and the plug is connected to the right Cintiq. I am right-handed. When you shift the cable from the left HDMI connector -> behind the laptop -> right past it blocked off and the mouse. Yes, I prefer surfing the good old mouse :)
- 178 ° angle: The image is blurred, the higher the viewing angle is or how flat you look it, but the colors are reasonably well preserved.
- Mobility: Please note that you have to take an external power supply for the Cintiq. In addition to the power supply, it still needs the HDMI and USB port.
- The Cintiq is only slightly warm at the bottom. It is still very pleasant.
- New Pro Pen with Case
Cons:
- No Touch Ring, but there is now the rocker ring which allows you to use 4 different buttons + 1 for the Middle
- Far too few keys. For more keys within comfortable reach, I recommend a very small keyboard, a Gameboard (Logitech G13, Razer Nostromo / Orbweaver) or a gamepad with individually programmable keys per program
- Only 75% of the Adobe RGB color space
- Approximately 1 cm from the edge of the screen decreases the pin accuracy. For example it is still possible in PS to make the small fields
- No Touch function
- There is a perceived 0.5mm distance between pen tip and screen -> glass

Shortcomings:
If my product I have problems with small halos (below and right of the screen). I notice only strong when I'm working on darker images. Easy to own checking a black picture to full screen make.
A closer look, the control panel and the glass / screen is not flush with each other and to the housing. The screen stands out easily that when hovering with your finger until you feel a slight severe scratching. The buttons / control panel, I'm talking from the vertical rectangle to the left (picture), including the area in which no keys are present appears to be mounted wrong. It rises up and out easily, and below it is lower than the body.
It affects quality, just as long as you do not look closely at my Cintiq. Have it returned because the atriums and the inaccuracy of fit, with me have most disturbed the halos. I wonder if you have made similar experiences. Do not misunderstand, I have otherwise had good experiences with the quality of Wacom products.
I have read of some users that there are problems with the 30 pin connectors. The speech is sometimes more of short blackouts / Unplug the screen when you draw the Cintiq crazy / adjusted or the connector touches. For me the error came back only once (1s Blackout) and then never.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total me the Full HD resolution, and especially the "very" confident slow wear of pen tips. Still to be added additionally. Touch Ring / buttons, and a touch function, it would sweeten the experience again.
I hope I could help some with my review.
Thanks for the attention! : D
