CINTIQ PEN DISPLAY COMPONENTS
After the Cintiq pen display is safely mounted on the Cintiq stand, take some time to familiarize yourself with its features and components.
The LCD monitor and tablet sensor function as an integrated input and output device. The LCD monitor supports resolutions up to 1680 x 1050 pixels at 16.7 million colors. The tablet sensor reports pen coordinates, pressure, tilt, switch, eraser, and other information.
