Configure Cintiq on Windows
- 1
Set as extended display
Press Win+P → select Extend. Do not use Duplicate — the pen mapping will be wrong. In Display Settings, position the Cintiq display to match its physical position relative to your main monitor.
- 2
Map pen to Cintiq display
Wacom Tablet Properties → Mapping tab → Current Display: select the Cintiq display from the dropdown. Enable Force Proportions.
- 3
Calibrate the pen
Wacom Tablet Properties → Calibrate tab → Calibrate. Tap each target with your pen tip at the angle you normally hold it. Calibrate seated at your normal working distance.

Set display resolution and scaling
Right-click desktop → Display settings. Set the Cintiq to its native resolution. Avoid Windows scaling percentages other than 100% — scaling can cause pen offset issues.
