Are you still loving the Cintiq? Does it also work as a standard tablet if you wanted too. I would be tempted by the 20 in model but it is twice the price. Maybe next year ......

Does it also work as a standard tablet if you wanted too. I would be tempted by the 20 in model but it is twice the price. Maybe next year ……

Those keys are programmable in the tablet preference utility. I really only touch my keyboard a few times an hour. Most anything can be programmed into the keys.

Did you compare it to the previous 21" cintiq? Are there big differences, except for the wide format and the touchscroller? BTW, what are these little buttons/touchpads? TIA!

People just get used to that. Once you get on a Cintiq, being able to achieve the line or brush stroke is a time saver that goes beyond anything. I can't stress enough to anyone that does artwork digitally to get one. Also, I have this http://www.amazon.com/Ergotron-Desk-Mount-Arm-45-179-195/dp/B000BUK7KW/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1211392821&sr=8-2 The Ergotron LX Desk Mount Arm - mounting kit ( 45-179-195 ) It works great! I can actually stand if I ever feel the need to stretch my legs while I'm painting. Love your artwork Ray, keep it up!

Here in Rip-off Britain, where for reasons we cannot discover prices for everything are inflated even more, this models costs £1800 pounds or $3500 dollars, even the new 12 inch model retails here at over $1500 dollars. So I'm pleased for you Ray, but jealous as hell, enjoy. Beautiful device, but vastly over-priced.
