Customer Review: Cintiq in a dual monitor setup
Summary: 5 Stars
This was a purchase I thought about for a long time, not sure if I would use it to full advantage. I'm still not sure I will, but it's a beautiful new toy/working tool, and now that I've had it for a month, I wouldn't want to be without it.
I'm a digital artist, and I already had an Intuos3 tablet for a couple of years, which I adore. It sits on the keyboard ledge beside my led lit gamers' keyboard (I don't play games; I just like that it's lit and doesn't have the number keypad). I needed to replace my old CRT monitor, and after much looking decided to go for this Cintiq.
I've only got one issue at this point: When the Intuos3 is directly in line with the Cintiq, the mouse jitters badly. Move the Intuos a foot to either side, and there's no problem. On the night when the Cintiq arrived, I called tech support (who BTW, was very patient, knowledgeable, friendly, and spoke perfect American English) to help me with the setup, and he said once I got my workspace configured the way I wanted it, I could call back, and they'd try to resolve the jitter issue.
So for now, the Cintiq sits above the keyboard, smaller LCD to the right, and Intuos3 on a little table to the right of my chair. When I use PhotoShop, Painter, etc., my canvas is on the Cintiq, and the controls are on the other LCD screen. I'm still relying on the Intuos3 mostly for painting with my pens (I have 2 Grip pens because one came with each tablet, a Classic pen which I bought because of its small barrel that fits well in my small hand, and the Art pen), but in areas that call for precise brush strokes, I lean forward and paint directly onto the Cintiq. The brush behaves just a tad differently on each of the two tablets, so occasionally I'll need to reset the brush parameters, but maybe that's just me. I'm still trying to decide what kind of workspace setup I need to best utilize all my tools, but as far as the Cintiq goes, it's responsive and even clearer than my other monitor. Once it was synchronized with the pens, there's no problem whatsoever with brushes in relation to the canvas, but then I'm used to using a tablet as my mouse pad for everything, including browsing the net, and I think not being used to a tablet may be the problem for some who try the Cintiq. I'd like to have it laid flatter and placed like Jeremy Sutton's with the Cintiq on a low table so that I can use it more like an actual canvas, but I might have to give up some of my other elements, so we'll see how things evolve.
I gave it 5 stars because the Cintiq is everything it's supposed to be, and any issues relate to my personal setup and preferences.
