Wacom has launched a 21-inch version of its combination graphics tablet and LCD display, the Cintiq. The Cintiq 21UX replaces the 18-inch Cintiq 18SX - adding a larger screen, higher resolution and support for the company's Intuos3 tablet technology though keeping the price at £1,899 plus VAT.

Using the Intuos3 technology, the tablet display features an optical resolution of 5,080dpi and 1,024 levels of pressure sensitivity. It supports the Intuos3 series of pens, including the provided multi-tip Grip Pen. Included tips are the brush-type stroke nib and the felt pen provides frictioned drawing. An optional Airbrush is also available. </p> <p> The tablet sits on a removable base that can be pivoted 180 degrees in either direction and tilted from 10 to 60 degrees vertically. Wacom says that this allows the tablet to be treated like a piece of paper and manoeuvred into a comfortable position before drawing strokes. </p> <p> The tablet features the same user-configurable ExpressKeys and Touch Strips as the Intuos3 tablets. The ExpressKeys are two four-button keypads, while the Touch Strips can be used for scrolling and zooming. </p> <p> The Cintiq 21UX will ship towards the end of February, according to Wacom. </p> </div> </section> </section> <footer> <div class="shareLinks"> <p>Share this</p> <span class="st_facebook_custom" displayText="Facebook"></span> <span class="st_twitter_custom" displayText="Tweet"></span> <span class= Print
