Yea, bamboos are widescreen (But who doesn't love a widescreen monitor ;)) Not sure if they're 16:9 or 16:10, though.

I bought one of the cheapest bamboo tablets, and I'm very happy with it.
Where am I?

The one that's named after the tree is the one I use.

Bamboo or Intuous, nobody do Cintique for personal uses -it's too crazy expensive, usually companies get that for you when you work for them.

Crem, just what the hell do you do for a living? 2D artist, I'm guessing?

I'm a college student lol, my main focus is 2D art but level design is pretty prominent as well.

@BMXChris :

It doesn't really matter that much if you have a Cintiq or Bamboo, or even a Graphire, if you don't know how to use it properly the best tablet in the world won't save you. I've seen works produced by people with crappy tablet that will make you shit bricks and I've been using my Graphire for 4 years now and it still serves me fine -I would seriously implore you to reconsider your spending options. The cheaper Cintiqs ranges in the $3000s and you could easily get a new rig for that price - so why not do that and get a bamboo or an Intuous instead? Unless you're planning to draw forever and use the Cintiq for pretty much everything the purchase would hardly be a logical one.
