Benefits of the monitor top buttons

- [Mark] Those three buttons on top of your Cintiq monitor are not just for looks, they're also really helpful. (enthusiastic music) - Not all Wacom devices have these three buttons on top of the screen, but many of the larger models do. I have a hard time remembering keyboard shortcuts, so the first button, the settings button that looks like an i brings up an overlay that shows me the defaults or how I've programed the ExpressKeys. Just touch the screen anywhere and the overlay disappears. The wrench button pulls up the Wacom Desktop Center software so you can quickly access and customize any part of your Wacom device. The last button is the Wacom display settings. It's the hardware setting for things like brightness, contrast, and color controls. You control the settings by using the ExpressKey buttons next to the on-screen menu. I tend to use the setting button the most, but I like having the other buttons for quick configuring of my Wacom. (fly buzzing) - [Fly] Help me.
