Use them, like them, hate them? I had a relic from the ninties that I hated but it was old. Looking to get a new one but the only ones I have found positive feedback (for my intended use-drawing) are the cintiqus and they are a bit pricey for a test run. Any info would be great.

I use the Cintiq 21UX and the Cintiq 12WX. Love it. It makes embroidery digitizing so much easier compared to using the mouse. Also, it's probably the closest that you can get in digital media to that of old fashioned artistic drawing/painting media as far as the feel. In my opinion anyway. Worth the money.

Just have a Bamboo, but it gets the job done. I like the control you have with a pen.

Lots of sites that show you how to build your own Cintiq style set-up if you are "techie". I think it would be a fun project if I had the time.

Intuos user here. I don't use it for drawing yet, but for photo editing, that thing is the cat's meow.

Thanks guys!! I've been doing a lot of research and just cant decide. I would rather put more money in the front end and get what I need but I'm also cheap, so... What size would you recommend. My dinosaur wacom was one of the larger models and keeping the correct orientation on the screen was murder.

Shouldn't be. Before I had the Cintiqs I ran an Intuos 3 and you can either have it mapped to both, one, or none. I had it on none.

While the Intuos 3 did everything I could want it to do, it's hard to suggest those after having used the Cintiq. If you do manage to get an Intuos 3 though, make sure the extra pens that you get are grey. I like to also use the Art Pen and the Airbrush pen.

Intuos5 large $430.00. Absolutely love it. Works flawlessly in illustrator and I've used it in flexi too.

I run dual monitors too. There is a setting to choose the primary monitor for the wacom. It will not flow from one monitor to ther other like your mouse, as far as I can tell.

Yes it will. I guess it would depend on your firmware you are running and the device itself, but like I said, you can either map it to a single monitor, dual monitor, or you can not set up mapping and it would like more like a mouse.
