Product Description:
Work directly on screen with the new Cintiq 21UX. The newly-redesigned Cintiq 21UX incorporates Wacom’s most advanced pen technology in a sleek, black, display, allowing photographers, designers, animators and other creative professionals to work naturally and intuitively directly on the surface of the large-format, 21.3” LCD screen. The Cintiq 21UX now detects 2048 levels of pressure, giving you even more control over pressure-sensitive pen effects such as line weight, opacity, and exposure. With Wacom’s new Tip Sensor, the pen now features a lower activation force that captures even the most subtle nuances of pressure. The ambidextrous design features rear-mounted Touch Strips, along with the accompanying Touch Strip Toggle Buttons, which give you control of up to four application-specific Touch Strip functions like brush size, zooming, canvas rotation and scrolling. Sixteen ExpressKeys (eight on either side of the display) boost productivity by providing quick access to keyboard shortcuts and modifier keys.

Great upgrade from Intuous 4
I got my Cintiq 21UX and I had to say is a dream come true. I can draw on it like a canvas there is no limit and now with Photoshop CS-5 trying to compete against Paint 11 with their new set of brushes it make more easier to keep pushing your composition.So no back and forward, the quality of the product is amazing I really can't complaint. I only had it for 2 days so there is not much to add yet. I will keep upgrading my review if something goes bad, but I really doubt by the way no death pixel =D.

It's not worth 00 ...
I've owned several intuos ...and once bought the 12WX but later returned it because I felt it was still an experiment. But let me clarify ... the 12WX did perform almost like pencil on paper ...what I disliked was the ergonomics .... the wires and adapters ...was too much.
I am sure this product is better than the 12WX and think the admirable ratings for this product by the users who commented here are sincere. I don't own the the 21UX ...but have used it before ...it's good ...but NOT WORTH ,000 for what it does.
It's that simple ...it's ,000 because Wacom has the market cornered and he knows it. This guy (Wacom) must have some pitt-bull lawyers to have cornered this market the way he has ..because this is an area ...busting at the seams for exploitation and some real competition.
What is Steve Jobs waiting for to enter and take over this market?
Again ...this product is way over priced ...and they can do this even in recessionary times because there is no competition.

fantastic
I got a Wacom 21UX a few months ago. It is an all-around great product. As some people have mentioned the calibration is not the greatest, but it doesn't have that much effect. It's great to be able to draw right on the screen, the pen and tablet button shortcuts are really helpful, customer service is great - all around a good buy.

Almost lives up to the hype
I'm not really a tablet guy but finally decided to invest in something that'll let me draw digitally. I've tried using Intuous/etc. products before but never liked how I had to adapt my hand coordination to a cursor up on the screen -- very non-intuitive.
The Cintiq solves this problem quite well, I'm very happy with how it feels to draw on it and how accurately it works (with simple calibration). Next to my Apple Cinema 24" display, the Cintiq does not measure up at all in terms of screen quality. It's extremely dim in comparison (come on Wacom, if you're going to release a new version of k hardware then use an LED screen!).
I find the hardware menu system extremely confusing. Luckily I don't plan on using it much, as I can rely on the Apple monitor for color accuracy.
The button layout is definitely better than the old version. The pen continues to be a little too easy to accidentally push a button on while you draw, but this just takes a little time to adapt. Sensitivity is pretty nice, though I wish there was more of a curve control rather than a single number controlling sensitivity. I sometimes with I could make a light stroke with more ease, instead I kind of wrestle between having to push too-hard for heavy strokes and the other extreme.
The touch strip on the back is absolutely worthless. In photoshop I was trying to use it to zoom, and my zoom would just go all over the place. The program didn't respond to this kind of input well because the strip is basically just hooked up with a hotkey, so if you slide across it it basically floods Photoshop with ZOOM IN ZOOM IN ZOOM IN ZOOM OUT ZOOM IN. I'm baffled that they haven't worked out a better way to interface with the most popular application of this hardware...
The stand works well, though you can't really rotate "as designed" unless you lower it to almost horizontal (parallel with the table) position. I've opted to mount mine on an Ergotron LX arm instead, and this works TERRIFICALLY, I really recommend it.
The software they give you isn't too exciting, some of the included brushes are decent but I guess I expected a bit more for this much money. I look forward to the day when I can zoom and edit brush size with finger gestures and draw with the pen at the same time -- seems like the technology is already there for Wacom, they just need to put two and two together.
Overall, despite some design misfires, I think this is a great purchase for anyone who plans to do a significant amount of tablet work.

Natural feel...
The Cintiq 21ux is a great product. If you're like me and you don't like the feeling of having to draw on a tablet and look up at a screen to see the results. The Cintiqu 21ux is awesome. Being able to draw right on the screen allows me to work faster than ever. Overall great tablet. I recommend it over many of the other tablets. Of course it is quite spendy.
