for Robert: working with 2 monitors:
I have it installed with 2 monitors, I splitted up the right monitor and I now have control over the right monitor with the Cintiq 12 WX and with the normal Intuos 3, that I am using parallel on it.
I have a spread desktop, covering left and right monitor. So for the control of the left monitor I use the Intuos and for the right, I can use both.
It works rather well and fine.
You only have to put/move your sketching application towards/on the right monitor, which works fine.
Good luck!

Hey just saw your review, I think this wacom is an awesome product but… this is where it gets ugly, I bought one, and right out of the box it was broken, then I got a new one and 2 months after having it the pen would jump when it moved over a certain area, then i sent it back and i got a new one which also had exactly the same problem as the one I had before, alas after 3 tries and many wasted hours going to and from the distributor I refunded it, I found it to be really shoddy. I would save for the bigger one hoping that that one had a better standard of quality.

I not trying to diss wacom here as I have an all intouse which is still going after 7 years and im about to buy a smaller intouse to carry around with me.

really wanted to get one about 9 month ago. When I saw the size of the unit (quite big for only 12″), the weight, the cables… I went for a HP tabletPC, for the same price.. and I’m loving it. (even if I’m a Mac user and needed a Wacom for my office/home computers)

I bought one of these a few weeks ago. I have the 21ux at work and besides the screen real estate I think I like the 12wx a bit better. I don’t think it’s quite as cumbersome as the larger version. One good thing about the 12wx over a traditional tablet is the lifespan. If you update your computer along the way this tablet/monitor can come with you. I use mine with a few different systems. The cords are a mess but once set up the whole thing is a joy to use.

Just my 2cents – I also don’t think that a wireless setup would keep up with the information. I don’t use wireless mice anymore because they don’t feel as precise to me, again, just my opinion. I think we’ll get there someday but not quite yet…

With few bucks more you can buy a whole tablet pc means you don’t have to plug it to your computer because it is the computer or laptop I mean. I got one from HP and works with Wacom Driver and is pretty smooth and works well. There are more alternatives though, search for Navisis it got adaptors to change your normal screen or laptop to tablets with just a clicking it on your screen and plug it in your usb and install the software and you are done also way cheaper too, about 150 euro so if you buy a cheap 15inch about 100 euro your still far cheaper then buying a cintiq.

That’s a good compromise with the base.

But I argue the wireless capabilities of today. I own a few logitech wireless devices for various HTPC’s in my house/office. I spend the extra $$$ on their products because their wireless is flawless. Even some pro-gamers use their wireless mice in competitions.

It’d probably allow Wacom to triple the price on these though, they’re expensive already…

What they should really do is make the panel rotatable on a base, of which is wired. That way we could easily rotate the panel without having the wire bother us. Kinda like 360 degree rotatable monitors, except the panel would be on a circular base.

I think making a wireless tablet would be like making wireless speakers – they’re always bad quality due to so much bad data transmission.
