Wacom Cintiq 12WX Review

The reason why Wacom Cintiq 12WX is different from the Bamboo line (Fun model, Pen & Touch or MTE-40) or even from the more advanced Intuos4 line (small, medium, large or wireless models) is the addition of a touch sensitive screen. The key difference is rather than having a pad on the tablet that is able to read the pen input meanwhile you watch the output in the display, the Cintiq incorporates the display into the tablet itself! This key factor has major advantages, and it takes your level of interaction and accuracy while using it to the next level!

The Cintiq line is already in the market for some time with its version of Wacom Cintiq 21UX, a 21'' display which can be used as a replacement of your normal screen and be used both as a pen input display whenever needed. Probably it won't be useful for all the environments, but this product is for sure a great advice if you want to have a taste of the superb new technology made my Wacom.

As a conclusion, I can say that the Wacom Cintiq 12WX is about productivity. If you are a pro and spend long hours editing images, the 12WX model will pay for itself in a short term.
