I don't know why but you sound so sweet and so easy to listen to, thank you for this review! I've been thinking of replacing my current display tablet with the Cintiq 22 and I've decided with this video that I might do just that! And get the arm as well. :DD
Thank you for your kind words! It is a more modern upgrade to any old display tablet, in my opinion. The Ergotron Arm is very sturdy and has not trouble carrying the weight of this unit. I have hopes that you will be as satisfied as I was with my purchase.
Presently saving up for a Cintiq 22 and am shopping around for mounts. I get neck pain when I'm looking down too much so I want something to lift the tablet up to a higher level but allows me to push it back when I'm not using it. Excellent unboxing video, highly informative and enjoyable. Thank you.
@@Danboarding Thanks! I found some at Memory Express and CDW Canada. Approx $360 Canadian. I may get the heavy duty mount (Extra $76) for future heavier Cintiq.
@@Danboarding What's strange is that the Ergotron website "compatibility" finder claims that the HX "may not work with Cintiq 22". Yet, here you are, showing that it does work. So strange?!
@@ArtofLuba That is indeed strange. They probably mentioned that because the Cintiq 22 is not very heavy and they probably are worried that it may be to light. However, I have no issues with it. Straight out-of-the_box the tension of the arm is perfect for the Cintiq 22, well, at least in my experience.
Thank you very much for sharing this. I also have Wacom Cintiq 22HD old version which I bought in 2019. I hope to buy a flex arm or an ergotron monitor arm.
tbh, i prefer the old 4:3 aspect ratio, it's look nice when you rotate them vertically, just like ipad pro. while 16L9 look really awkward when you rotate them vertically.
I see what you mean, and in a way I do agree. There are some advantage and disadvantages of both when it comes with the aspect ratio of the screen. The 4:3 aspect ratio feels bigger to me, especially with the applications that I used to work with it. This current 16:9 aspect ratio is slowly growing on me and I have started to appreciate how the horizontally-favored orientation works well for the apps that I am using. I rarely rotate it this one as much as I rotate my old 21UX. But yes, I do agree with you that it does feel awkward when rotated vertically.
Hello there! No, never in the entire time that I was using this particular model of the Cintiq did its fans kicked in. I hope that helps and thanks for checking out the video!
Thank you for video. Please tell, is wacom cintiq 21ux still worth to buy in 2020? Is it really big difference between the screen quality with 22"? (I have 16'' cintiq but want to change on 21ux). Thanx.
Hi there. I think a newer model Cintiq such as this one would be better, but if you can still find a brand new 21UX, then that would be fine. To be honest, I don't see much difference in screen quality, the only difference being just the aspect ratio (21UX is 4:3, Cintiq 22 is 16:9). I just preferred this newer version so that I would get the newer port connections (USB and HDMI). However, the 21UX has the bonus of having those assignable buttons too, which is nice. The Cintiq 22 does not have any. I am not sure how much a 21UX is right now, but you can probably compare the price to the Cintiq 22 to see where you can save a bit of money. Hope that helps!
@@Danboarding Thanx for your reply, that helps! Didn't find any information about comparison of this models. I want to buy a used 21UX for the same price as new cintiq 16. So if there is not much difference in the quality of the screen, then it is better to change to a large. Another problem is less pressure levels in 21UX. Or it is doesn't feel that way?
@@ivanageenko1279 When I was using my 21UX I had not problems with having lesser pressure levels compared to the newer, "Pro" models. I think if you want the bigger screen then you might be safe with the 21UX. I only mentioned the pro models because I do wished I had more money and went with a pro one as with the 21UX and this current Cintiq 22 that I have, parallax (the distance or offset between the tip of the pen and the cursor that you see on screen) is quite evident and sometimes affected how I draw. The pro models boast having almost no parallax. I read somewhere that if the screen is laminated, which makes it thinner, then the parallax is lessened. I suspect that the 21UX and the Cintiq 16 should have the same parallax level, so if you want the bigger screen then you're probably going to get the same quality. I hope that helps, I do hope it's information that is correct as I am only basing my experience on the 21UX that I've owned.
I've got this setup, hx arm and cintiq 22. The tilt forward and backward function doesnt seem to work no matter how I tighten or loosen the screw. It springs back into place if I tilt it down, and won't tilt up at all. Anyone had this issue?
Hi there! No adjustments for me; right out of the box the stiffness setting of the Ergotron HX was just right. Once I mounted the Cintiq 22, it stayed in its position. If ever, I can just adjust the tension/stiffness setting in the monitor arm, but like I said, the default setting was just right and the arm was neither moving up or down.
I have the exact same setup ( just got the HX and Tilt in today ) and I cannot get the screen to tilt back more than 5 degrees. I adjust the screw on the back between the two attachments screws, and it still won't go backward. :-(
I can't remember if there is a piece of any plastic inserts that are in the joints of the monitor arm during unboxing, but maybe you should check that nothing is still int there. Sometimes manufacturers puts those plastic inserts to prevent joints from moving. I can't fully remember, but maybe worth checking. Also, please refer to the user manual just in case something is mentioned there about how to adjust and loosen the tilt function. Sorry if I was not very helpful. Also, it may be worth contacting Ergotron customer service about the issue. Good luck!
@@Danboarding You were right. Nowhere in the instructions was this listed, but on the tilt, mine has an extra bar that is screwed into it.. that prevents it from full tilt. After noticing that yours does not have this, I removed it and it works perfectly now. I think they added this for the HX with TILT combo that is probably more geared for Monitor use than tablets. They should have noted this in the instructions.
@@SuperDesignguy Awesome! I'm glad things worked out well in the end for you! Yes, I believe the same that it's more geared for monitors than with tablets like the Cintiq.
HI there! Very, very little wobbling and shake is expected as the Cintiq is technically suspended by one arm support, but it's not too much that it would prevent you to draw or write on the Cintiq. It is still very stable.
u pinoy , sir? been having issue with my neck becoz im hunch and table is low. instead of leaning. i need my drawing monitor to kinda come near to me so as not to hunch. willl that help sir?
Hi there! I believe the difference in the shape of the arms: the LX has a more pronounced vertical post that is mounted to the table. I am not sure about the weight capacity, but I specifically went with the HX because it is rated at a max of 45 pounds. I hope that helps, sorry for limited knowledge of the LX.
Thank you for sharing your experience. It won't be too light, will it ? Since the minimum weight on ergotron website is listed at 9kg ? Will the monitor "float" upwards?
@@ken-xm8gh Hi there! No, the Cintiq 22 is not too light for the Ergotron HX and does not float up at all. In fact, the default setting of the Ergotron HX, out-of-the box, the tension of the arm was just perfect and I did not have to do any adjustments to the tension!
The Ergotron HX sometimes gets discounted heavily; one only needs to be on the lookout for discounts whenever they are available. I was lucky enough to get mine at a really good deal! Worth the price, in my opinion.

Thank you so much! ive been hunting for a mount for my 22. I hope you enjoy it! its so sturdy and my best tablet yet!

I felt the same way and I am glad I mounted my Cintiq to a monitor arm. Very adjustable to my preference. Thanks for checking out the video!
I have a Cintiq 22 and this is exactly what I was looking for! Now I need to find it for shipping to Canada! Thank you!
Check Amazon, sometimes they have some. Good luck!

Yikes, I never had any issue with that. Maybe contact Ergotron directly to ask them what's going on and how to fix it?
since the wacom cintiq 22 is quite light how did you get the Ergotron HX to don't Push up to much?
Hi there! No adjustments for me; right out of the box the stiffness setting of the Ergotron HX was just right. Once I mounted the Cintiq 22, it stayed in its position.

can you put a link in for the arm? i want to make sure i get the right arm

It works nice but the Ergotron HX Desk Mount Monitor Arm costs almost as Cintiq :) ... Skip, same as Wacom stand for 500 USD

Oh come on, WE don't need those express keys!!!
Use keypads, like tartarus for example, it helps you to work 20% faster!
Yup, I got used to not having any express keys. I've only been using it to switch between displays anyways.
Lefty here, wish I could use the Orbweaver for creation... T. T
nice packing no drivers
