Unlock Your Inner Artist With the Wacom Cintiq 21UX
The Wacom Cintiq 21UX tablet brings the game-changing quality of Wacom to digital art in a package that any artist will appreciate. Wacom has set the standard in quality in tablets for over a decade, and the release of the Cintiq raised the bar forever. The 21UX is prized by artists because of its ideal screen ratio and its 21-inch size that make this digital artist's workstation more comfortable to use than more recent large models, and now you can get one on eBay for yourself or for the artist you love for a fraction of the price.
What are the technical specifications of the Wacom Cintiq 21UX?The Cintiq 21UX is an artist's workhorse and has been a trusted tool of many professional designers and digital artists. In addition to its breathtaking 1600 dpi by 1200 dpi display, it boasts an impressive list of specifications, including:
- Support for over 16 million unique colors
- An impressive 500-to-1 image contrast ratio
- A 17-by-12.8-inch active area
- A response time of 20 milliseconds
- A 5080 dpi movement resolution
Drawing with a standard tablet is a learned skill, and many artists used to traditional artistic media can have difficulty adjusting to the disconnect between the movement of their hand and their eyes. The Wacom Cintiq allows an artist to work in an intuitive way that keeps the artist connected to his or her work. Additionally, the Cintiq lets you edit your work directly on the screen, so your movements and strokes are registered as precisely as possible.
Can you use this tablet without a Wacom pen?The corresponding Wacom pen has over 1000 levels of touch sensitivity and unlocks the full potential of the Cintiq. When the 21UX is connected, it is possible to take advantage of its 1600 by 1200 dpi resolution and color support for over 16 million colors to draw with a mouse using the Cintiq as a second screen, but a Wacom touch-sensitive pen, which is often much more accurate than a mouse, is required to utilize the touch screen. Pens are available through Wacom or on the secondary market.
Where can you get the drivers to support Wacom Tablets?Wacom drivers to calibrate their tablets with your computer can be acquired from Wacom's support page for your country. You can also contact them directly through their webpage. It will be necessary to install the correct drivers before the Cintiq 21UX will function correctly on your computer.
