Wacom Expands Cintiq Interactive Pen Display

By DE Editors

Wacom Technology Corp. (Vancouver, WA) introduced the Cintiq 12WX and Cintiq 20WSX to round out its family of interactive pen displays. The Cintiq 12WX, which combines advantages and power of direct pen-on-screen input with a low-profile, lightweight, and flexible design, is aimed at professional creators of digital content.

Also joining Wacom’s Cintiq lineup is the Cintiq 20WSX, a wide-format desktop pen display that combines the same design elements and ergonomic enhancements as the Cintiq 21UX. Wacom’s latest wide-format pen display is designed for those who work with a 16:10 aspect ratio and may not require the increased resolution of the 21UX.

The Cintiq 12WX is suited for users who work across multiple monitors. Plus, with an estimated street price of $999, the Cintiq 12WX is an affordable solution for creative users seeking an interactive pen display experience. Weighing 4.4 pounds, its dimensions and styling make it suited for flexible integration into existing workplaces or for use at remote locations.

The Cintiq 12WX offers a 12.1-in. TFT LCD wide-format display for direct pen-on-screen image editing, painting, sketching, navigating, and collaborating. Like the 20WSX and 21UX, the Cintiq 12WX enables near perfect hand-eye coordination. Users can work with the pressure-sensitive pen directly onscreen, providing WXGA resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels, 24-bit color depth, and a viewing angle of 170 degrees.

Also available is the Cintiq 20WSX, a wide-format desktop interactive pen display with a a 20.1-in. widescreen LCD (WSXGA+ 1680x1050 resolution) and the same design as the 21UX. Its estimated street price of $1,999 sets a new benchmark for affordability, allowing a broader audience to experience the freedom and power of working directly on screen with a Wacom pen.
