cintiq ux professional device

antorton Mar 1, 2010

We’d sell any number of our children and internal organs in exchange for a Wacom Cintiq pen display, but unfortunately we’re not sure any of them are quite valuable enough. The holy grail of drawing on you computer has just upped its game with the newest Cintiq 21UX. First and foremost is a new level of pen sensitivity, with support for a “near-zero” starting pressure and a total of 2048 levels of sensitivity. The 21-inch LCD display also has rear mounted “Touch Strips” running along the sides that let you adjust different parameters based on what you select with the thumb-convenient Touch Strip Toggle button. Unfortunately, there’s no mention of that rumored finger-friendly multitouch (or even finger touch of any sort) on this new display. It’s hard to blame Wacom, it has a priority to serve artists first and Microsoft Touch Pack dabblers second, but hopefully we can get a second, multitouch version of this display that’s a little less extravagant on the pen end and a little more affordable than the $1,999 pricetag affixed to this display. The new Cintiq 21UIX should ship later this month or early April. PR is after the break.
