Samsung's 720TD 17-inch tablet display
We were just
about to bust out our own red sharpie at CES and give this thing another John Hancock before we noticed that this
display does the tablet thing and
allows pen-based input directly on the screen. As we continue to search for pricey LCDs to vandalize, you can admire
the 720TD's 17-inches of stylus receptiveness and start waiting for this thing to drop for around $800 later this year.

If this is using Wacom's drivers and can give at least 512 levels of pressure, it'd be a very very nice alternative to wacom's expensive Cintiq line.

indeed, the price-point is very very nice. the 15" wacom cintiq costs caround 1500$ .. but well, let's hope it is really something for drawings and no just to write on the screen..
*hoping*

yeah but the Cintiq is a touch screen, no? this uses some weird antenna based motion thing if you read the linked article. I doubt pressure sensitivity is a feature.

I would bet it isn't for drawing. To really be for drawing, you need tilt-sensitivity to angle the brush, which I find unlikely given that this is around half the price of Wacom's parallel tablet.

#3 - The Cintiq is a digitizer, not a touch screen.
The (main) difference being that the screen itself is not touch sensitive.
All input is done through the stylus.

I remember this photo. It was taken the day my nephew received this great all-weather permanent red marker.

Tilt-sensitivity isn't that important, basic pressure sensitivity covers the all of the good stuff (size, colour, alpha etc...)
