Digital camera reviews of Wacom Cintiq 12WX 12-Inch Pen Display
Digital camera Review: "Good" but not 5 stars
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had the 12" Cintiq for a few days now. I'm happy with the majority of the features and functions, but it simply is not a refined "5 star" product.
Pros:
- Pretty much *everything* anyone has to say that is positive about a Cintiq.
- The single button to toggle between Cintiq screen and your regular monitor. Being able to use the pen on the Cintiq and then toggle to control the regular monitor is a huge time saver and allows for a great dual-monitor set-up. You can have your work on the Cintique and most of your palletes open on the main monitor.
- 4.4 lbs is hard to beat. This feels about the same as my old Wacom tablet that didn't contain an LCD.
- Bright, clear display
- Small package
Cons:
- Display has a hot spot in one poor location. A small, roughly 4" round area immediately to the right of the "Wacom" logo gets warm/hot. I am right handed and this is the place where I rest my hand. It feels *very* awkward and uncomfortable to have my hand on a heating pad only to go sketching on a cold piece of glass.
- Bottom ~8 pixels of screen is unusable. If you move the pen closer to, and then beyond the border of the top, left and right screen borders, the arrow icon simply goes to the edge and then stops. If you move the pen in the same way towards the bottom of the screen and then beyond the following happens: As the pen nears the bottom the arrow on screen slows, then stops and then reverses direction as you move further past the screen border. This *can* be worked around by avoiding the bottom 8-10 pixels of the screen, but it is **extremely** frustrating when you have to click on an icon in the bottom portion of the screen (i.e. create a new layer in Photoshop) or work on the lower portion of the screen in any way.
- Cables! There are many more cables than you'd expect. There is one from the tablet to a black box and three from the black box... one to power and two to your computer (VGA/DVI and USB). They are obviously necessary but they kill the idea of taking this great tool to your local coffee shop for a a little sketching time.
Overall this is a good product but it does not deserve 5 stars.
Summary of Wacom Cintiq 12WX 12-Inch Pen Display
The Cintiq family of interactive pen displays enables creative professionals to work naturally and intuitively, by using Wacom's patented, professional pen technology directly on the surface of an LCD display.Wacom offers three options for working directly on screen: the all new high definition Cintiq 24HD, the popular large-format, second-generation Cintiq 21UX and the low-profile Cintiq 12WX. These high-quality displays, combined with the Cintiq pressure- and tilt-sensitive Grip Pens, offer world-class levels of precision, control and comfort for editing digital images, applying effects and filters, sketching, painting and modeling. The amazingly responsive pen-on-screen performance closely replicates the experience of working with traditional brushes and markers while offering all the benefits of a digital workflow. The Cintiq's scratch-resistant glass surface is completely flat from edge to edge, allowing the hand to glide easily over the entire surface. Both Cintiqs offer adjustments that allow them to be set up in different working positions and at different viewing angles. They also come equipped with finger-sensitive Touch Strips and ExpressKeys that can be customized to execute commonly-used shortcuts and modifiers to speed and simplify any workflow. The Cintiq pen controls the cursor in any application and provides pressure- and tilt-sensitive effects in supporting applications such as Adobe Photoshop, Autodesk SketchBook Pro, Corel Painter and hundreds of other applications. Cintiqs are compatible with both Mac and PC platforms.Tablets
