As someone who draws often, this made the transition from drawing on paper to the screen relatively easy. Using the Cintiq in Manga Studio was the closest experience to drawing on paper I've found. The small button arrays on the sides of the screen are customizable, allowing you to set up shortcuts for specific tools or for switching apps.
But my favorite "buttons" were the two touch-sensitive strips located on the back of the screen's frame, behind the customizable buttons. These let you zoom in and out quickly for detail work. One of the side benefits of the Cintiq was the speed boost it gave me. With the one-to-one drawing input, I was working almost as fast as I work on paper. The stand swivels vertically, giving you the ability to position the screen almost flat.
At this angle, it feels more like a drawing table and provides a more relaxed and natural drawing experience. It doesn't flatten all the way out, though, and its ungainly size becomes even more apparent in the prone position. You're going to need plenty of desk space, so plan accordingly.
Also, when standing all the way up, it doesn't come to a degree angle, which makes it less than ideal if you need to use it as a monitor. The price point may seem high, but this is a professional tool, and in that regard, it's worth it if you can afford it, especially given the level of control it provides.
This type of draw-on-the-screen device is the future of computer art, and I would recommend it for those professionals who are going to use it everyday. He uses a Cintiq, and he says if you're a working professional, owning one is "a no brainer. It's an extremely high-end piece of hardware, and it would be a waste of money if you weren't going to use it more than just occasionally.
With this many options, you may not need to touch your keyboard at all! Of course, the price of entry for all this goodness is significant. It has no rivals, but most will be better off buying a traditional tablet and separate monitor, and saving themselves a lot of cash into the bargain. If in the future Wacom lowers the price and makes its larger Cintiq more viable as a primary or companion monitor by using a higher-resolution widescreen panel, it will have a winner on its hands.

As with any additional monitor, you must tell the operating system how the monitors are physically arranged, so that your computer knows how to wrap graphics from one screen onto another. Because the surface of the tablet was covered by a thick glass plate, the pen was noticeably removed from the drawing surface. Registration is actually fine, as you can see if you re-position your head directly behind the pen.
This is the only downside of having so much screen real estate. The upside, of course, is that you can open huge windows and work at extreme magnification levels with no bothersome scrolling. Sorry I have a few questions. So you can surf the web and write emails directly on your cintiq? I know you need to have the cintiq plugged into a computer but do you have to be right next to the computer and keyboard or can you control everything from the cintiq?
For artwork, do you think the 12wx is big enough or do you recommend the 21ux? Last question, sorry…. But I am afraid that I will get the cintiq and just be way in over my head. I considered just trying a cheaper tablet but I really like the idea of being able to draw directly on the screen and hopefully being able to sit on the couch a few feet from the computer and be a lot more comfortable using the cintiq all by itself.
Am I misunderstanding how it really works? Do you recommend anything else instead in my situation? Thank you so much for your time and input! Lara [email protected]. Please log in again. The login page will open in a new tab. After logging in you can close it and return to this page.
