"I get things done in half the time"
Gray Holland from Alchemy Labs recently discovered the power of an interactive pen display after using a Cintiq for the first time on a project. He says, "I get things done in half the time." When asked to describe how he was able to double his productivity with a Cintiq, he responded, "I have all the intuitiveness of pen and paper, but still have the ability to undo, redo, and create different layers. These are things I can't do with a piece of paper." Read the whole story.

Intuitive to use
When you're using a Cintiq you work with the pen directly on the screen. This empowers you to take advantage of your natural hand-eye coordination to work more quickly and intuitively in any software application. There is little or no learning curve because of this natural "pen-on-paper" work approach.

Pressure sensitive
The Cintiq 21UX Grip Pen gives you the power of pressure-sensitive control. Pressure sensitivity lets you control your software tools by changing how hard you press the pen tip to the display surface. Using pressure sensitivity you can dynamically control things like brush size, opacity, and more.

Cintiq 21UX Tactile sensation
Cintiq implements unique LCD technologies to achieve a natural paper-like experience. The surface has two coatings, one to diminish glare and another to provide a texture simulating the feel of paper. These surfaces are also hardened to provide durability and longevity. The LCD itself has been structured to eliminate any screen distortion when the pen tip is pressed against the surface. The result is an incredibly natural and intuitive experience.

No-fuss system integration
You have direct control of your configuration because your new Cintiq will work seamlessly with your existing mouse or Wacom Intuos3 tablet and can be installed as a single monitor or as part of a multi-monitor combination. Cintiq employs standard connection options to work with all primary platforms (USB for pen input; DVI or VGA for video).
