Wacom Techno Cintiq 21UX 21-Inch Interactive Pen Display PC Tablet With Pen and Software Review
I’ve used this for about 1 week and absolutely love this product. Quite a jump from my previous tablet, which is a Wacom Intuos 2 that I’ve had for about 6 years.
I use Photoshop CS3 to compose digital paintings and illustrations. I’ll be looking into Illustrator to get into vector works. So far, it’s great with Photoshop. The tablet options are very simple to calibrate and set up – at least from an amateur point of view. I set it up slightly angled and draw/paint on it like a canvas on an easel. It’s what works for me. The screen is pretty large, so having it angled more parallel to the desk makes it difficult to draw. But I think this is just personal preference and circumstance.
My only gripe is that the right scroll panel tends to get in the way at times, so Photoshop will zoom in and out if my hand accidentally passes over it. I’m going to see if I can just turn that feature off altogether or if I’ll have to adjust my workspace.
And totally have no need for Corel Sketch Pad. But that’s just me
I’ve tried Inkscape, but the program itself has issues with most tablets.
Perhaps I can update this review when I get more acquainted with this product – but I am loving it so far.

Wacom Techno Cintiq 21UX 21-Inch Interactive Pen Display PC Tablet With Pen and Software Overview
The Cintiq 21UX interactive pen display provides the best-of-class pen experience for working directly on the screen. It combines the advantages of a large-format LCD monitor with the control, comfort, and productivity of Wacom’s most sophisticated patented cordless, battery-free pen technology. With a 21.3-inch TFT diagonal display, the Cintiq 21UX delivers a highly sensitive pen-on-screen experience and a generous active area for working directly on large images, concepts, and designs in the most natural way possible. Working directly with the pen on screen is a natural motion that gives you an unprecedented degree of control and allows you to take advantage of natural hand-eye coordination, helping you work more intuitively and noticeably faster. The display’s completely flat surface allows the hand and pen to glide over the surface of the Cintiq without bumping into any bezels or borders. A dynamically-adjustable stand allows you to rotate the display up to 180 degrees in each direction, incline the display from 10 to 65 degrees, and even remove it for comfortable lap use. Rear roller feet make the incline adjustments easy; the result is freedom to adjust the interactive display to positions that work for you. Strategically-placed ExpressKeys and Touch Strips are programmable, allowing you to customize your Cintiq to your needs. The ExpressKeys are easily accessible on either side of the display and provide quick access to keyboard shortcuts, modifier keys, and functions that minimize dependence on the keyboard for uninterrupted work sessions. Finger-sensitive Touch Strips are located on either side of the display for easy zooming, scrolling, or making tool adjustments without taking focus away from the pen tip.
