Review: Wacom Cintiq 21UX Pen Display

 

The Cintiq trumps other input tablets by allowing you to draw directly on the surface of the display.

Amazingly natural to work with. Pressure sensitivity makes drawing on a computer as intuitive as drawing on paper. Highly accurate. Gorgeous display. Connects via USB and DVI-I

High price point. Lack of 90-degree adjustability can cause neck strain after prolonged use (like an eight-hour workday)

pen display for the most natural-feeling drawing surface possible.

Superb drawing accuracy. Big screen. Luxurious, paper-like feel. Brilliant base design offers multiple configurations and easy adjustability. Conveniently located rear-mounted Touch Strips

Very expensive. Display could be brighter. No multitouch. Inflexible, fixed wiring and external AC adapter

If you're a graphic designer, computer-based artist, or animator, the Wacom Cintiq 21UX is still the pen display for the most natural-feeling drawing surface possible.

Review: Wacom Cintiq 21UX

 

If much of your daily work is in a graphics program, you need a tablet. But if you don't like the disconnect required by regular tablets (draw on one surface, see the results on another), the Cintiq 21UX may be the best fit for your needs.

You should mention that even though Wacom makes great products the Pens are an issue. They are not interchangeable with other Wacom devices. The Pen always falls point first. The Pen will most likely break on the first drop. The replacement cost about $40

Review: Cintiq 21UX

 

Wacom's Cintiq 21UX interactive pen display is a dream tool for electronic artists looking to expand their digital palettes.

Traditional graphics tablets require you to sketch on one surface and watch as the results appear on the monitor on the other side of your desk. This approach can be tricky to master. With the Cintiq, you draw directly on the built-in monitor screen....

Review: Wacom Cintiq 21UX Interactive Pen Display

 

It's a display you can draw on. It's a tablet you can surf the Web with. And it comes with a sophisticated pen and lots of bundled software. But is it right for you?

Let me start by saying that Wacom's graphics tablets are all great. I've never used one that was useless or even merely adequate, but rather found all of them to be superb tools for working in visual arts programs--and even for everyday use. In fact,...

This gadget picks up where Photoshop falls short.

While digital advances may be responsible for reinventing the world of art and design in the modern age, some aspects of these fields have received less attention from technology than others. For example, despite the persistent evolution of computer...

If you're an artist that enjoys working on the digital side of things, there's a good chance that you've encountered a Wacom tablet of some sort. Since most of my work is done with a pencil or pen anyway, transitioning to a tablet was a natural step....

If you do any amount of digital artwork, you will absolutely love working with the Wacom Cintiq 21UX. It’s the closest thing to sitting down with a pad of paper and a pencil that you’re going to find. I found myself enjoying the overall experience of...
