Are there alternatives to the Cintiq 21"?
With Windows 7 out I thought I'd search around for touch screen monitors and see if more competition has popped up in this category. I came across this which blows away the $1999 Cintiq price...

Regarding the second option I could always format the crap interface away and install windows 7 if that windows touch stuff is actually competent. hmmph. yeah the tablet PC stuff with a decent size screen starts approaching the Cintiq 21 price anyway. Wacom needs more competition in this arena. -
Re: Are there alternatives to the Cintiq 21"?
Quite true. I suppose the reason I disliked using the cintiq was because I still had to fuss with zooming and panning when I would have preferred not to with it. With my intuos I just adjusted all my keys so my primary quick keys include zooming without having to move my hand. Anyways, sorry for derailing your topic.… -

As a matter of fact I feel like it would benefit from being even bigger. Not so much for more arm movement, but for the big advantage of not having to zoom in and out too much ... Seeing the whole canvas at all times is great in order to have more consistency on the final piece. Not so important in texturing, but crucial… -

Yeah I dunno, I'm looking for an option that lets me leave my office and I can move around to different rooms in the house like the living room while I drop in some edge… -
Re: Are there alternatives to the Cintiq 21"?
I think you just answered your own question!! And, huh, it's not even stylus based nor touch based right. Are you asking if a regular computer with a screen, keyboard and mouse is a good alternative to a 1024 pressure levels pen display? -

Looks like an ugly sony vaio iRip-off, except with windows 7 -
Re: Are there alternatives to the Cintiq 21"?
I found that when using the Cintiq at work I could work much faster and with less errors as I could rapidly place the pen/stylus where I wanted it in relation to whatever was on screen, as compared to the Intuos where whenever I put pen to tablet I'd have to concentrate more on accurate cursor placement on the screen and… -
Re: Are there alternatives to the Cintiq 21"?
Is a cintiq really necessary? I feel with so much arm movement it is a bit hindering, actually. I used to use a big 9x12 intuos 2 but downsized to a size smaller with my new intuos 4. It's not the size that counts, it's how well you use it :p -
Re: Are there alternatives to the Cintiq 21"?
I honestly wouldnt keep my hopes too high regarding 7 and touch screen capabilities. I am pretty sure that all it gives is the thing to rotate and zoom pictures, nothing else. I could be wrong but I didnt hear anything more than that really. It's already on the Macbook inger pad, it's cool for gestures and navigation too…
