Thanks CD!  Of course you are right; I was thinking of it as similar to a
Waco0mdrawing tablet which offers a display on the drawing board of the
digital image that appears on the monitor display desktop.  I realized that
after I read your original reply.  I keep forgetting about such things as
notebook tablets that this appears to be.

Is a Cintiq 12" tablet a monitor?  Even if the tablet does display the image
on its tablet surface rather than on or in addition to on a display monitor,
I doubt if it supports color management since the space is often seen as
editing space in the sense of cropping, adding or subtracting elements from
the image, cleaning up the image, etc. and not in the sense of color
correcting and adjustment for display output or printing.
 
Hi Laurie,

You are thinking of the Cintiq as a tablet; its actually a full-featured,
high quality LCD display, with a pressure sensitive touchscreen overlay, and
an angle adjustment system behind, to lower it for tablet use, or raise if
for monitor use. So its fully functional as a color managed display, whether
you are using it's tablet functions or not.
