Green-House Japan LCD graphics tablet takes on Wacom Cintiq

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Aug 18th 2009 No Comments

green house japan GH PTB17 EGreen-House Japan have announced their new graphics-tablet-cum-LCD-display, and unfortunately the one thing we really want to know about the 17-inch device – how it compares, price-wise, to Wacom’s Cintiq 12WX or PL-900, both exceedingly expensive – is left unsaid.  What we do know about the GH-PTB17-E is that it has a 1,280 x 1,024 LCD paired with a wireless pen capable of 512 levels of pressure resolution.

He Said, She Said: Is an Apple UMPC more likely than a MacBook Touch?

By Chris Davies and Brenda Stokes on Wednesday, Jul 30th 2008 10 Comments

With all the Apple rumors over the past week or so, Brenda and I were discussing whether we’d rather see a grown-up iPod Touch-style UMPC from the company, or a full-sized MacBook Tablet.  As a Tablet PC user in the past, I’m a sucker for the full-sized option running OS X; Brenda is more keen on something super-portable that will kick Microsoft’s UMPC format into the dust.  In the end, we decided to argue it out online and give SlashGear readers the chance to throw in their opinions too; we’re calling it “He Said, She Said” and you can read our thoughts (and leave your own) after the cut.

Wacom Cintiq 12WX reviewed: impressive but contentious?

By Chris Davies on Friday, Jun 13th 2008 6 Comments

Wacom are known for their huge Cintiq LCD displays with pen-input, but the company also makes a smaller, 12.1-inch model intended to be used in your lap.  At $1405 it could hardly be called entry-level, but it has the same 1024 levels of pressure sensitivity, 5080dpi resolution and pen-tilt awareness as its bigger siblings.  PC Authority have been trying out the 16:10-aspect 1280 x 800 monitor, and judging by their 5/6 rating they seem impressed.

Princeton PTB-TMW19B 19-inch LCD tablet display

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Jun 10th 2008 No Comments

Looks like Wacom’s Cintiq is getting some competition.  Princeton’s PTB-TMW19B might not have a slick name, but the 19-inch widescreen WXGA+ panel does have pen input with 1024 degrees of pressure recognised.  Neatly designed, there’s minimal bezel and a clever twist-to-lock adjustable hinge.

Wacom to woo desktop artists with Cintiq 12WX inkable monitor

By Chris Davies on Monday, Oct 22nd 2007 No Comments

As any graphic designer (or Tablet PC owner, for that matter) will tell you, when it comes to digital pen technology you’ll always get fine results going to Wacom.  Up until now, however, your choice has been shepherded into one of two different product types: those with a sturdy desk and a desire to see what they’re drawing on can pick from the Cintiq range of touch-sensitive displays, while those who want something more compact and, dare I say, lap-friendly can choose from the numerous ranges of graphics tablets (such as the latest Bamboo or Intuos3).  Wacom are blurring that division, now, however, with the introduction of the baby in the Cintiq range: the compact 12WX.

Wacom broaden appeal with entry-level touchscreen display

By Chris Davies on Monday, Apr 23rd 2007 No Comments

If you’re serious about electronic art, Wacom will happily reassure you, you’ll have a Cintiq display.  For years now the drool-inducing mega-displays have woo’d artists and handwriting lovers alike, inciting as much awe over the specs as horror at the ultra-heavy price tag.  So what about the serious artists who are also poor?  Well, Wacom have decided to throw them a bone too, with the introduction of the PL-521.
