Wacom Cintiq 21UX is Released
Wacom has long been the premiere maker of touch sensitive tablets and following the Intous 4 launch last year, they are upgrading their touch sensitive display series, the Cintiq 21UX display, now compatible with Intous 4 system.
The updated display has almost the same specifications as the previous version had, but now offers a number of updated features such as:
- Better sensitivity now with 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, doubling it from the previous model, a real benefit when making fine-grain adjustments or drawings, relying on the touch.
- Updated design that is more ergonomic with the express keys located on both sides of the screen. There is also a new top ExpressKey that will bring up on on-screen display with the settings of the keys and touch strips. These new buttons are all iconized by the LED display as in the Intous 4 line, indicating their present action.
- The stand lets you set the display at any angle between a minimum 10 degrees and a maximum 65 degrees. It can also be rotated 180 degrees in either direction, all to help your position while drawing.
The new Wacom Cintiq 21UX, now in full black, costs $1,999 and will be shipping by early April.
