Wacom adds new interactive pen displays for medical industry

Posted in Displays by Shane McGlaun on February 18th, 2010

Most people who are familiar with the Wacom name think of the line of consumer and artist focused graphics tablets that let users draw or write directly on their computer screen. Wacom also has a full line of pen-enabled displays that are aimed at use in medical and other markets.

Wacom has added a pair of new pen enabled displays to its line called the DTU-2231 and the DTU-1631. The 2231 is a 21.5-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 that is designed for use in medical fields like radiology and other medical professions. The screen lets doctors make notes directly on images and highlight areas for review by other health pros.

The 1631 is a smaller version of the same screen with a 15.6-inch viewable area boasting a resolution of 1366 x 768. The screen is sized for use in tasks like capturing digital signatures and more. Both screens feature battery-free pens and USB hubs built-in. The 2231 will sell for $1899 and the 1631 will sell for $1249. Both screens will ship this spring.
