The Cintiq 20WSX provides a widescreen alternative to Wacom's flagship Cintiq 21UX. Optimized for widescreen use, the Cintiq 20WSX offers 1680 x 1050 resolution for high image quality, a wide viewing angle, and accurate color reproduction. With an aspect ratio of 16:10, the 20.1" diagonal display joins the Cintiq line in providing a best-of-class pen experience for working on screen. The work area size and shape provide space for creating and editing large images in great detail, previewing wide-format content, and positioning pallets and tool menus in an efficient desktop layout. The completely flat surface allows the hand and pen to glide over the surface of the Cintiq without bumping into bezels or borders. A dynamically-adjustable stand allows you to rotate the display up to 180° in each direction, incline the display from 10° to 65°, and even remove it for comfortable lap use. Rear roller feet make the incline adjustments easy-the result is freedom to adjust the display to positions that work for you. Strategically-placed ExpressKeysTM and Touch Strips are programmable, allowing you to customize your Cintiq to your needs. ExpressKeys are easily accessible on either side of the display and provide quick access to keyboard shortcuts, modifier keys, and functions that minimize dependence on the keyboard for uninterrupted work sessions. Finger-sensitive Touch Strips are located on either side of the display for easy zooming, scrolling, or making tool adjustments without taking focus away from the pen tip. The Cintiq 20WSX combines the advantages of a large-format LCD monitor with the control, comfort, and productivity of Wacom's most sophisticated patented cordless, battery-free pen technology. Features and Benefits
- Widescreen Display Format: Optimized for widescreen use, the Cintiq 20WSX offers 1680 x 1050 (WSXGA+) resolution for high image quality, a wide viewing angle, and accurate color reproduction. The entire 20.1" LCD display becomes an active work area for creating and editing large images in great detail, previewing wide-format content, and positioning pallets and tool menus in an efficient desktop layout. This work area size and shape is also well suited for the architecture of the human body, allowing the arm and hand to easily glide over the entire surface without wasted motion.
- ExpressKeys: The Cintiq 20WSX offers fourteen customizable ExpressKeys to provide quick access to commonly used modifiers, keystrokes, mouse clicks, and other timesaving operations. ExpressKeys are commonly used with the non-dominant hand while the dominant hand is working with the pen on the Cintiq surface, and they are chordable, which means that they can be used to create powerful keystroke combinations.
- Toggle Between Displays: The Cintiq 20WSX extends your pen control to multiple monitors allowing you to add a Cintiq to an existing display and easily toggle between them. This Display Toggle feature allows you use the pen to control the cursor on all desktop displays connected to a single computer. It improves navigational efficiency and gives users increased flexibility in using the Cintiq with other displays.
- Touch Strips : Two finger-sensitive Touch Strips are located in an ergonomic-friendly location on the back of the display for smooth scrolling, zooming, changing brush size, and more. The Touch Strips can be easily configured to control a wide variety of workspace attributes. The new location of the Touch Strips provides fingertip control while freeing the thumb to select a Touch Strip Modifier ExpressKey. Touch Strips, when used in conjunction with a Touch Strip Modifier ExpressKey, provide up to six assignments for Touch Strip functions. In Adobe Photoshop, for example, this allows you to control zooming, brush size, brush hardness, and opacity at the touch of a finger.
- Completely-Flat Surface : The surface of all Cintiq products are completely flat edge-to-edge to allow the hand to glide over the entire surface easily. Artists and designers appreciate this feature because it eliminates the artificial borders and distractions caused by a raised bezel edge, and allows them to use guides and drawing tools such as French curves, protractors, rulers, and templates directly on the Cintiq surface.
- High Performance Pen Technology : The Cintiq 20WSX shares Wacom's most advanced pen feature-set with all products in the Cintiq line to provide world-class precision and control. This pen sophistication combined with the ability to work directly on screen makes any Cintiq the key to a digital experience that is closer to working with traditional materials and tools than ever before. Both the tip and eraser of the Cintiq Grip Pen (included) feature 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity for precise image editing, accurate brush control, and selective application of effects and filters. The result is an amazingly smooth, responsive, pen-on-screen experience. The patented Cintiq Grip Pen is comfortable to hold and easy to use. It is cordless and battery-free for reliable and consistent operation. It has a DuoSwitchTM (rocker switch with two programmable positions) for quick access to mouse clicks or frequently used keystrokes and modifier keys.
- Ergonomically Advanced Stand Design : The patented Cintiq stand is included with both the 20WSX and 21UX. Rear leg roller wheels work in concert with the counter-balance springs to make incline adjustments effortless. The Cintiq stand allows the display to be reclined to a nearly flat 10-degree position to closely simulate a traditional creative environment such as a drafting or animation table. The Cintiq can be rotated in its stand up to 180 degrees in either direction to allow users to dynamically position the pen display for optimal comfort. This rotation feature allows industrial designers, artists, and imaging professionals to quickly rotate the display to capture the perfect arc, negative arc, and straight line while minimizing trial and error, which saves time and produces higher quality work.

The technology enables comfortable tablet use in a variety of positions from upright to nearly flat.
