Wacom totally upped the anty today with the intro of the Cintiq 21UX. Unlike their other tablets, the Cintiq 21UX is a screen, a 21-inch LCD touchscreen to be specific with 2,048 levels of pressure and can sense the slightest nuance of pen pressure, something they’re calling “near-zero”.
Aside from being color accurate and touchscreen, the rear sports a set of Touchstrips that can be user assigned per application to zoom, scroll, adjust brush size and rotate the canvas – I guess multitouch was out of the question. The screen itself can also adjusted between 10 and 65 degrees and rotated 180 degrees in either direction. Alternatively, users can remove the 21UX from the stand and work directly on a table or attach it to an articulating swing arm using the VESA certified mounts.
The Cintiq 21UX is expected to ship late March or early April for $1,999. A mighty high price, but for those working in the field of artistry, architecture or photography it’s a no brainer right off.
