Comments:
At this screen size, unless you really value the built-in LCD, you might be better off with a cheaper drawing tablet.

Review Verdict: Is the Wacom Cintiq 12WX worth twice the price of a comparable-size Intuos tablet? Only if you value the built-in LCD.

Comments:
A splendid bit of design that will please the most commited enthusiast, and a godsend for artists on a budget.

Review Verdict: But while some of the other specifications have also been scaled back, the 12WX is still a fine graphics tablet. With 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, it's possible to make anything from the most finessed of pen strokes to the broadest brush sweeps, a

Hands On with Wacom Cintiq 12WX

Comments:
A more affordable touchscreen graphics tablet from Wacom makes photo editing easier.

Review Verdict: There's a lot to love about the 12WX, above and beyond the convenience and ease of working directly on the screen with a pressure sensitive pen. The screen itself is bright, clear and reproduces color with the accuracy photographers need. Being able to cu

QuickTake:

Pros: Direct pen-on-screen control for comfort, speed and ease of use; wide variety of customizable controls; bright and clear display; compatible with a wide range of software applications
Cons: 12.1-inch screen may be too small for some photographers who might want to opt for the larger 20WSX or 21UX; can be time-consuming to customize; too many cords and cables to be truly portable

Product Rating: 4.5 star(s) Wacom Cintiq12WX

Comments:
The new Cintiq 12WX is a smaller, less expensive version of the Cintiq 21UX. The 21UX has a 24-bit, 1,600-x-1,200 pixels screen and an impressive 21.3-inch drawing area.

Review Verdict: It's also great for on-lap use, but if you're considering buying this device as a mobile digital sketchbook, you might want to try before you buy, because it was not designed specifically for this purpose

Pros: Sleek, light, bright and accurate; highly responsive on-screen technology; superb sensitivity and pen control.
Cons: Status and power LED lights are distracting; desperately wants a simple keyboard for basic type/shortcuts; stand could use padding for on-lap sketching

You got your LCD in my graphics tablet!

Review Verdict: . The vast majority of the Cintiq 12WX surface feels just like drawing or painting in a sketchbook. The edge-tracking issue disappoints, but the tablet will otherwise delight pros on a small budget and enthusiasts with money to spend.

QuickTake:

Pros: Drawing and retouching onscreen is as fluid as an analog tool. Slim, manageable tablet shape. Battery-free, cordless stylus registers pressure and angle. Sharp, clear LCD panel.
Cons: At edges, onscreen cursor drifts from stylus tip. Why-bother software bundle includes outdated programs. Jerky scroll strip registers accidental touches.

Comments:
With a built-in TFT display, the Wacom Cintiq 12WX has much to offer artists looking to treat Photoshop like a canvas. It's also much more reasonably priced than other tablet displays. We discover why the Wacom Cintiq 12WX could change the way you work.

Review Verdict: If you already own the mighty Cintiq 21 UX you're unlikely to want to replace it with the smaller version despite its obvious charms. That said, this is a wonderful alternative for anyone restricted by budget and space. Likely to outlive the average compu

Graphics tablet But it's a convenience that doesn't come cheap; the 12WX has a small, 12-inch widescreen display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 - hardly the kind of display a graphic artist is going to want as their primary work area - but will set you

Review Verdict: The Cintiq, once you've installed the software, becomes a second monitor, and you can toggle between the main display and the Cintiq with one of the five programmable buttons on the tablet (which are duplicated both left and right). There's also a touchpa

We were impressed when we saw the forerunner to the Cintiq 12WX - the Cintiq 21UX (web ID: 72901). A responsive, easy-to-use tablet with an integrated 21.3in TFT, it was ideal for professional artists and designers. It wasn't so good for those on a budget

The 12WX is only 17mm thick and weighs 2kg â?? you really can use this on your lap perfectly comfortably

Review Verdict: The 12WX's screen isn't perfect (it's a little cramped, and brightness andcontrast is lacking slightly; the sensitivity drops off alarmingly at the edges, too), but this is still a sensational device. What's that? It costs over eight hundred quid? Bugger
