Hey Martin! :-)

I'm in the process of buying either the Wacom Cintiq 12WX or the Wacom PL-720. I have some concerns about the PL-720. On the Cintiq 12 you have a scroll bar and programmable buttons. Any similar function on the PL-720? There are some buttons on the upper left side, but can't seem to find any zoom function on it. The PL-720 has an obvious advantage when it comes to screen size with it's 17" compared to the Cintiq's 12". Can you pls give me some advice on wich one to get and why?

@Soulflyer1973 The PL-720 have no programmable buttons, the other disadvantage~ that the PL-720 has is that the pen has half the amount of pressure sensitivity, but for me this hasn't bean a noticeable difference.

Like on other Wacom tablet the moving of your "paper" id done the same way.

also I have my keyboard on the side of the screen so i really couldn't complain about that.

so it really stands between programmable buttons, but smaller screen. or larger screen and no buttons.

Hello! :)

I'm about to buy similar tablet, so i'd like to ask few questions?

1) Would you recommend this?

2) Does it heat much?

3) Do you think that it's too high?

@jamppatiito

1. yes i strongly recommend it, it needs some getting used too, but it only took a couple of days for me.

2. after about three hours it gets a little warmer then from the start but nothing much and nothing that bothers me.

3. it's very very flexible, you can have it any angle from almost completely horizontal or vertical.

the first day i got a bit of pain in my shoulder but i found that if i put it in a more horizontal angle the shoulder pain went away.

you look right in your element with your new toy :3 Can't wait to see all of the art you create with it ^^

[martinkaby]

@KajTaotsu i've bean practising hard every day now since i got it and i think i finally got good enough hang of it to say that there will soon be a bigger project then sketches coming :P

[Soulflyer1973]

@martinkaby Thx for your quick reply :o) I reckon I have to think a little more before I decide. I could always go for the Cintiq 21UX, but it's a LOT of money. Hope you upload more videos in the future. I like your style. Keep up the good work! ^_^
