Can the Cintiq be easily detached from its base, and used on a flat surface? Also, is it easy to reattach? Thanks!

No. It's not designed for that. First off, it vents heat out the back, so to avoid overheating it would not be a good idea. Also I'm not sure it would lay flat anyway. It's kind of beveled from behind. As for attaching the base, I can't say because I didn't use it much. I use a monitor arm mount and it has worked out very well.

It can be easily detached, however because of the beveled design of the back, and how the cables come out, it can't lay flat on a table (or at least I wouldn't). The base lets it lay pretty far back though. So it gets pretty flat. WT

It is unnecessary to remove from the base because it is designed to tilt very easily and can tilt back to nearly flat. The cables attach perpendicular to the back so you could not lay it on a flat surface. It does remove easily from the base because it's designed to slide into it. If you prefer to work flat it should work for you as it is. Good luck!

The base can be adjusted to be flat, and I wouldn't recommend taking it off the stand to lay flat because all the cords come out the back where it would be laid down.

No it cannot, the Cintique 24HD uses wacom 4 or higher technology, and this is wacom 3.

Yes, I've used them with my create and a cintiq with no issue. (With the create, I recommend buying a cover because it wears down nibs fast with its tough surface!)

If you mean relocating the suction cup, yes you can. It is a silicone suction cup and is sensitive to dust and grit, but you can wash that off easily to renew it. I keep a plastic bag around the suction cup when it is detached to keep it from collecting dust.

the software doesn't affect the cintiq. You can use with almost any kind of graphic software. The software goes in the computeer, the cintiq just shows it.

No, at least it wasn't meant to be removed. I have another tripod with a reversible (removable) center column, but I find the 190CXPRO4's feature to make the column horizontal more convenient. I think it is easier and quicker than reversing the center column and can serve a similar purpose with the legs set wide.

I do not use the feet that come with the unit, I mounted mine to an ergo arm and that allows me to drop it right into my lap or spin it 360 degrees. Highly recommended! LX Desk Mount LCD ArmThe arm hold it stiff enough to allow me to draw on the tablet without needing to direct it with my other hand, which is great, because you can use your free hand for key strokes or mouse movements when using Photoshop or other applications.

The mount has a fairly good attach / release mechanism. Can be dine in seconds. Slodr the light out, then unscrew the mount. I damaged a mount and got a replacement easily. Handy to know if you are at risk of losing it.

You can use the cintiq as your primary monitor (well primary in the sense that its the one you will be drawing on) then use your normal monitor to view reference photos. I do it all the time :)

That's the biggest reason, yes, but also because some people want to use it as a traditional cintiq when connected to a computer. The companion can't do that.

I was looking for the same. Until I can afford a Cintique Screen. You can use a pen (designed for phones and such) I aquired a type that was ball tip on flat disc. This did work well, the only issue is that the screen is sensitive to human touch so you can not touch the screen while drawing. The screen lays back nice for the drawing, but found it a little harder since I could not lay my palm on the screen while drawing. I do have a drawing bridge designed to lay over paper tablets to prevent smudging, this worked pretty well to rest my hand on. But its also something you have to be used to using.

It can be detached, no problem. This is a great option for the price. Lunato.

I have never detached mine...there isn't really a reason to because you can use it 3 ways...like a laptop, just flat, or you can hold it to take pictures without removing the iPad from its case. Hope this helps! I absolutely love mine. I cannot think of a better case for an iPad.

Also waiting for my Cintiq to ship. I purchased it May 1, 2011. Does anyone have any current deliveries to speak of. Just trying to get an idea of realistic wait times for this. Some people have made reviews on the product as current as a month ago, so just looking to hear from anyone that has in fact received this item in 2011.

yes, a coworker uses this arm with the arm extension with his 22HD Cintiq at work and he is able to set it in his lap vertically and draw with no wiggle or problems.

Most people here say the kickstand gets in the way, it should lie flat no problem if you remove the kickstand. I use mine with a mechanical arm and I removed the kickstand so I could use it. It comes off easy. Now, I can't guarantee it since there is no way I'm going to take it off my mechanical arm in order to test it. It took me way too much work to mount it in the first place, but I don't see any impediment to lying it flat if you remove the kickstand.

yes, this is a MONITOR that allows you to draw on the screen. you still need a tower. If you are looking for the newer, all inclusive cintiq that does not need a tower, it is called the "Cintiq Companion"
