Cintiq 15X Pen Display

The first in Wacom's Cintiq range, the Cintiq 15X (2001) was a pioneering creative pen display that allowed users to draw directly on a screen, similar to traditional pen and paper. It featured a 15-inch TFT display and a pressure-sensitive pen, setting the stage for future Wacom Cintiq models. The Cintiq 15X was a hit because it provided the ease of traditional media with the advantages of digital creation, sparking the art and design revolution.
