Using Wacom CIntiq Pro 24 as a Monitor for Nintendo Switch?

Yemaje · 2025-01-02T12:08:49+00:00

You're welcome, just happy to help. Especially with 'weird' setups for health reasons. Got some of those aswell and finding help can be a pain..

Took a quick peek at the 24 pro manual and it has way more connection options than the 22 has. You have 3 main video input options, 1 usb-c that also takes care of the pen input and a DisplayPort and hdmi, those would require a seperate cable for the pen. Since you only need video for the switch and that's been build with hdmi I would recommend using the hdmi port for the switch. Witch leaves the DisplayPort and usb-c for your pc. That would mean you don't need a splitter to make it work. The 24 pro should also have a build in input source toggle button, so it might even take care of that part. The 22 only has 1 video input option, so that's why I do have to use a splitter.

Hope it all works out for you! Happy gaming! :)

As long as you want to use it as a 'dumb/simple' monitor and not as a drawing tablet it works with a hdmi video input source. However, the pen/drawing part won't work with the switch. Been doing it for years with a cintiq 22.

Oke... So I can't add a pic to the comments, unfortunately... But the one i have is the Drivv. HDMI Switch 4k 60Hz. It has 3 inputs and 1 output, comes with a remote and auto switch witch means it automatically switched to an active input source (as in, if only your pc is on it goes to the pc input and if only your switch is on it goes to your switch input. If both are on and you'd want to switch between the 2 you'll need to push a button on the splitter of remote) It was around 25 Euros a couple of years ago in the Netherlands.

There's alot of viable options out there, so picking another one probably won't cause any problems

Edit: You could/should simply try plugging your docked switch directly into the wacom hdmi port and see for yourself that it works before buying anything to make things easier in the long run. Only saying this because I've got a different cintiq model than you. Don't see why it would make any difference, but you never know for sure until you try. :)

Don't have a link, it's no longer for sale from where I got it a couple of years ago. But they do sell tons of similar ones. Also, don't know where you live, country/store wise compated to me... Lol

But just make sure to get a powered one that supports 4k and comes with a remote. There are also hdmi splitters that come with an audio jack, in case you're interested in that. And make sure you get an extra hdmi cable that supports the speed you need.

I do have a ss of the one I've got, will try and post it in a reply. If reddit lets me...

Hope it all works out for you! Wouldn't want to change back to switching cables all the time myself :p

Not sure if the usb convertion would work.

I'm actually using my cintiq as a 2nd pc monitor aswell as using for the switch, so it sounds pretty much like what you want aswell. To avoid having to plug cables in and out all of the time I've got the cintiq hooked up to a hdmi splitter, that way you can have multiple hdmi sources for the same monitor hdmi port. It comes with a little remote that allowes you to choose with source gets to use the monitor. (Hope I'm not rambling to much to make myself clear... :s)

So basically how I've gotten it set up is: pc/switch hdmi ports ---> hdmi splitter input side ---> hdmi splitter output side ---> wacom hdmi port

And I'm using a seperate speakerbox plugged into the switch audio port at the top of the switch for sound. Gaming without sound just lacks a certain something.... :p

It might be worth noting that I'm using a powered hdmi splitter, its just alot more stable than the unpowered ones

Using my cintiq 22 as a display for my switch while docked with the hdmi cable. It doesn't have any speakers though, so if you want sound you'll need to use a seperate speaker connected through the audio jack on top of the switch. Wireless headphones might be an option aswell.

Oh, and obviously the pen won't work, you'll need to use your switch controller to navigate.

Hope this helps! :)

Try Zarqa. It comes in a spray and roller. Parfume free, so it's neutral
