Where is this multitouch coming from? I know I saw it on a prototype model, but it said nothing about it in the video.

no widescreen no care

Blaizer

yeah, no widescreen...

and 2000 dollars, in euro that toy will be here for 2000 euro like the older one (we must pay like 2700 dollars for the same shit when it should cost us 1400 euro).

I was expecting something better.

Why would you want to draw in widescreen? It's not a spaghetti western or anything, widescreen isn't inherently better. Think of this as TALLSCREEN, and you will be fine.

Sweet! Now the prices on the normal one will drop

Blaizer

because it's more space to work with, simple.

I wonder if this new version produces the same heat as the older.

Disco Stu

Wouldnt you have to jackson pollock that thing to run out of space?

Ouch, it was an assumption.
Features overview doesn't mention multitouch too, only i4-tech.

1980x1200 would be much much better indeed (1600x1200 for the price of 2k? in 2010?)

I hope that screen quality got better (compated to 2005 released original model)

there's a 400 euro discount at wacom europe store, north-american store doesn't list older models anymore.

i like my touch strips on the front

stoofoo

ian: I like your touch strips in bed.

Just saying.

Also I love my cintiq. Honestly dont want to sculpt without one anymore.

My thoughts exactly!

I feel the same way, only I wish I could have afforded the 21 over the 12 I currently own.

Yeah, new cintiq looks really awesome to me.

A question for you current cintiq owners. Do you run it as a 2nd panel? What if you have a dual screen setup? Does it mirror a display, or does it become the 3rd?

Rwolf

Nice looking, but I'll stick to my slightly older 20WSX
I'm only wonder if they fixed the stylus to pointer lag in previous generations, and the heat issues.

@Commandor I think it depends on you video card options.

I currently only run it as my only and primary monitor.

wasker

Argh, these things are still soooo expensive, even if they plan to release a 2nd gen cintiq I can't afford the 1st gen ones :<
I'm hoping courier or ipad 2.0 will have pressure sensitivity and some decent specs. If not, atleast they could help to push the price of new wacoms and cintiqs into my range.

whats_true

To bad they didnt revamp the price ~~

I use my Cintiq as my second screen and keep all my web browsing and reference images on the laptop screen. You can mirror display if you want (where both screens are identical right?). That's the same as any secondary monitor.

Damn it, this tablet is too far way of my reality($)

I'm really thinking on getting a cintiq this year. I better wait for this new one to appear and see if everyone offloads their old ones on ebay or something?
