Wacom Technology Corporation announced its eagerly anticipatedCintiq 21UX interactive pen display that allows users to work with a pen directly on a 21.3" color-accurate LCD.

The Cintiq 21UX offers "more" of everything that makes using a Wacom Cintiq such a natural way to work: morescreen area, more pressure sensitivity, more pen control, more resolution, more comfort, more productivity. At asuggested retail price of $2499, the Cintiq 21UX delivers more of everything with no price increase over theprevious generation. The Cintiq 21UX will begin shipping in March, but customers can preorder their units at Safe Harbor Computersnow to be at the head of the line.

Leading photographers, designers, and artists have enthusiastically transitioned to working on Cintiq interactivepen displays for some of the following reasons:

"Using a Cintiq has dramatically increased the speed at which I can retouch images and for me that translatesinto money. With more screen area, higher resolution, more pressure sensitivity, and reliable color accuracy thenew Cintiq 21UX is going to make an even bigger contribution to my overall productivity."- Vincent Versace, award-winning Hollywood photographer

"As an industrial designer I rely on my Cintiq for exceptional control and comfort. The new seamless surface ofthe Cintiq 21UX is an important advance that will give me a barrier-free digital work area with no bezel edge tobump into. This innovation also gives the Cintiq a streamlined, modern look that appeals to the artist in me."- Steven Linder, Senior Industrial Designer, Anthro Corporation

"My Cintiq is an essential ingredient in my recipe for creating compelling 3D art. Working in applications likePhotoshop, Maya, and BodyPaint with the Cintiq 21UX's ExpressKeys and Touch Strips will be amazinglyefficient. I know from experimenting with these tools on Wacom's Intuos3 tablets what a difference this will make.It's going to be awesome!"- Dan Casey, Director of Digital Productions, Vinton Studios

The Cintiq 21UX combines the advantages of a professional quality LCD display with the control, comfort, andproductivity of Wacom's patented cordless, battery-free tablet technology. The 21.3" display features UXGA(1600x1200) resolution, a 170 degree viewing angle, anti-glare and hard texture coatings, 24-bit color with ICCcolor profile, a 400:1 contrast ratio, and 250 cd/m2 brightness. The tablet technology provides 1,024 levels ofpressure sensitivity, 5,080 lines-per-inch resolution, and pen tilt sensitivity. The unique Cintiq 21UX stand allowsit to be rotated 180 degrees in either direction and tilted to any angle between 10° and 65°. The Cintiq 21UXworks on operating systems from Microsoft (NASDAQ: MFST) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL).

Many professional graphics software applications are specifically designed to be used with a Wacom pen. Theseapplications include Adobe® Photoshop® (NASDAQ: ADBE) and Illustrator®, Macromedia® Flash® (NASDAQ:MACR), Corel® Painter™, Discreet® Combustion®, Apple® Motion™, Alias® Maya®, SketchBook™ Pro, andStudioTools™.

"Many creative professionals have told me that using a Cintiq has doubled their productivity," says MichaelMarcum, Wacom Sr. Product Manager. "Recognizing the hourly value of creative professionals, I think it’s easyto see how a Cintiq can pay for itself in less than six months. Perhaps even more importantly, time saved byusing a Cintiq can let busy professionals get their lives back, which I think is priceless."
