I need help with buying a Cintiq...
-
@Alberto-M The fact is a Cintiq will "make you do better" when compared to a MSP-19U. The Cintiq has better color, better resolution and larger active drawing space (plus other minor advantages). I never said 2.8k wasn't a serious thing, in fact it's why I created this post, but I don't understand where you are getting 2.8k. I clearly stated I was looking at the 22 and 24hd, neither of which cost that much. Thank you for your opinion but I was looking for advice on which Cintiq, not advice on keeping my Yiynova.
Also, what artist isn't studying, and why is that an excuse to use sub-par tools?
If you would like to continue this conversation feel free to send me a chat (P.M.) as this is becoming off topic.

I'm gonna paste an honest opinion of someone from the net, so right so funny"When you're already competent artist, and can afford it somewhat easily. Don't be one of those guys that spends a shit load on your hobby thinking it'll make you more proficient. I see it all the fucking time. People buying $4000 DSLRs and putting watermarks on shitty pictures on their local park. People buying an Intuos Pro just because it's a fucking status symbol and they don't even grasp what "tilt" functionality is. And lastly, the worst, people who buy a fucking Cintiq before than can draw for shit.
Think of a Cintiq as one of those ridiculous aerodynamic bicycle helmets. Unless you're a pro where fucking milliseconds matter in your lap-time, don't bother wearing it."
Be honest with your skill set to guess if something like a cintic is out of place. You can update your old monitor to newer one, there are +22HD with same presures and color ranges like cintiqs out there. Huion, yiynova, etc.. Of course, do whatever you want,, guess about the rest priorities in your life, if buying a cintiq does not affect your pocket to react to incidentals, go on.
At best you should introduce yourself, what you do, where r u from, how old are you, etc.

I tried the Yiynova 19, but I prompted returned it. I ended up getting a 2nd Gen 21UX, IMO a much better tool. I use it with an ergotron in portrait mode and couldn't be happier with a Cintiq.

Hey there,
I second Vicky Vicky's recommendation of a Ergotron Arm if being able to rotate the tablet is a concern. I'm looking into getting 24HD myself and found this video:

Being able to flip it around to portrait mode would be pretty cool. Apparently the 27QHD is about the same overall size as the 24HD, so I would assume the outcome would be similar to the video if you got one. Not sure about the weight though.
