If Apple were to release a touchscreen 32" 6k display I think just the stand would be $2k.
I have the large Wacom Cintiq. After using an iPhone touchscreens (iPad as well), it’s so smooth, nothing compares. And the Wacom wasn’t Retina. 4k, so going from 27” 5k imac to 4k 27” Wacom was horrible.
I also had the expensive stand to go with it. When it was time to sell it since I was moving, I couldn’t give that thing away. Nobody wanted it. I had it basically brand new in the box and no bites at all.
Just an FYI about the Wacom and I’m assuming other touch screens. If they aren’t as smooth as an iPhone or iPad, I wouldn’t Touch it. (Pun and not pun lol).
That’s not my experience, but people’s experience can be different.what was your use case? What were you using for?
The big Cinteq tablets do offer something Apple doesn’t offer.
The current 13” iPad pro + pencil pro is an extremely good tool for drawing / drafting etc. And even the 13” iPad Air and pencil pro is a very good tool fir this type if work.
But it’s 13”. Apple don’t make a 27”, and that’s where Wacom have little competition.
You can’t compare a 5K Apple Mac screen ( I presume you mean a 27” iMac or studio display ) to a 27” Wacom, because the screen on the iMac or the ASD is NOT an input device.
If you want a large target for drawing etc, Wacom are the market leader. Mainly because there a few, if any, other viable options.
The thing being reviewed / advertised at the start of this thread lessons ks like a competitor to the 27” Wacom, not a competitor to an Apple monitor.

I haven't been keeping up the 6K 8K tech for a while... but 60 Hz still a limitation? Also why only 99% Adobe RGB when I've seen 100% plus for years now. Also why only 90W charging. Every MacBook and high-end PC laptop has been 100W plus charging. Seems a lot of limitations.
I’m unsure if I was quoting a post of yours or not. I guess I just saw “Wacom” and “27”. I used to want to be a comic book illustrator growing up, so I know it’s the industry standard.
Maybe I was just posting my experience with it.
I hated it was only 4k
And really I’m just so used to drawing on actual paper, I could never get used to the texture. And I did need the large size.
I guess that’s about it really. Honestly if they did make a 5k 27” Wacom, I could see that definitely being in your workflow if you illustrate for a living. Jason Seilers (not sure if you’ve seen his work or website) is amazing. He probably uses the Wacom. And perhaps I was just assuming it was something it wasn’t, just as you said. But that’s really where that “matte” finish comes into play as well. So you could get that paper like feel.
Anyway, thanks for the reply! I no longer went into illustration, but ended up doing graphic design which I LOVE.
