Just wanted to share something I saw online, apparently Wacom is introducing 2 new tablets in early 2018. Still insanely overpriced but unless the Dell Canvas blows me away, I'll be getting the 24", which seems to be the perfect size.

32 is possibly a replacement for your desk, it has plenty of space for your mouse, keyboard, heck even your laptop
what I don't really get is why they want to go larger, we use zoom functions in every single app, larger just isn't better in fact it can be a lot worse.
Would be curious to try it first hand to see how that plays out though. Maybe on an easel
the 32incher at 4k is roughly 28 inches wide for 4096 pixels
and knowing that
the 12wx is 10 inches wide for 1080 pixels
That means that the 12wx from 2009 has a resolution of 128 pixels per linear inch, and the 2018 32 incher has ... 146. Considering that the working distance is the exact same (length of the human arm, natural eye distance, and so on) that's a very negligeable improvement.
Depending on the granularity of the pen tracking, I don't think there's even a way to know if a big one is more or less accurate than a small one
I have no problems with the size cuz i'm customed to draw at A3 format since i was a child, but i demand a touch screen yes or yes. My actual screen is a 4K 27" ips monitor and i would love to have the same.
The actual cintiq pro 16 is a huge waste of money compared to products by Huion.

The upcoming tablet displays will be 4K with one billion colors and “maximum color accuracy” — the existing 16-inch tablet offers 4K resolution as well — and will have Pro Pen 2 technology. That’s a stylus with a whopping 8,192 pressure sensitivity levels.
At $2,000 and $3,300, they will naturally be the most expensive options in the Cintiq Pro line-up — the current 13- and 16-inch versions cost $1,000 and $1,500, respectively.
Wacom should put their efforts in fixing those errors people have with the smaller ones.
I have horrible nagging willys running down my spine drawing digitally. Like I am reinforcing bad "timid" "sketch-centric" habits not conducive to broad deliberate gestural/expressive strokes. ( painting anemically with ones wrists instead of one's elbow shoulder and whole body )
Burned into the conscientious paranoid base of my soul in art college by fascist professors "NOT TO WORK SMALL". I feel them staring over my shoulder silently judging me every time I reach for a tablet instead of a giant sheet of Rives BFK or other large traditional media.
Since the Microsoft studio came out at 5k 28 inches...
I have been hoping that as much might be a happy medium ( still to small considering my portable option in the 80's use to be a 2' X 4' panel of homosote that all art students use to fashion with a custom shoulder strap as a backboard/easel! The idea that 32" is unwieldy gives me a chuckle when I think of the looks I use to get carrying around paper plywood for my mobile landscape/portraiture solution I have to wonder when did everything get so small and feeble? )
I wonder if computers and the shift in art towards small wrist sized focus of strokes over the course of the past 20 years has raised a different breed of artist altogether?
( sort of like the anthropological analogy of the tribe from the jungle to afraid to enter the plains because they are frozen in fear where they can perceive no safe places to hide behind or climb to safety vs the plains tribe to afraid to enter the jungle because their view is limited by the dense cover where danger could be lurking behind every tree! Both tribes frozen in fear by their environmental experience positive that death awaits in the dread they feel )
