Wacom Movink Introed as Industry’s First OLED Drawing Tablet

Wacom is releasing the Wacom Movink, an OLED pen display developed around the needs of creative professionals, digital artists and design students. In addition to being the industry’s first OLED pen display, Wacom says the Movink is its “thinnest and lightest” pen display ever. The Movink combines the pen with a 13.3 inch full HD OLED Samsung drawing tablet display for $750, available from the Wacom online store. The company says the Wacom Movink has the fastest response time among Wacom pens, “with increased pen detection height and no visible parallax.”

The Verge says its OLED display offers “several advantages over comparably midrange LED-based tablets,” the most notable being “lack of a backlight,” which prevents light leakage and excess heat, and “also allows the tablet to be more compact,” or slim.

Weighing less than one pound and measuring 1.5 inches at the thinnest point of its Corning Gorilla Glass and magnesium alloy body, the Movink “is 66 percent thinner and 55 percent lighter than the similar-sized Wacom One 13 touch,” Wacom explains in a news release.

Those specs mean it is “lighter than the 682-gram (24-ounce) current 12.9-inch iPad Pro model while sharing a similar thickness,” The Verge reports.

The Movink uses 10-bit color for a wider spectrum and “deeper blacks, with a contrast ratio of 100,000:1, a hundred times higher than what’s featured on the recently released Wacom Cintiq Pro 17,” The Verge specifies, noting that Wacom says the Movink “is validated for Pantone and Pantone SkinTone and provides 100 percent DCI-P3 and 95 percent Adobe RGB coverage.”

OLED’s faster response reduces pen latency to less than one millisecond, per Wacom. The Movink comes with a dedicated iteration of Wacom’s Pro Pen 3 optimized for the device, with a slimmer, more visible nib, and “three replacement nibs conveniently housed within the pen for quick resolution of any nib emergencies,” Wacom explains.

This stylus “is exclusive to the Movink 13, but Wacom says the tablet also supports ‘multiple pen technologies,’ allowing it to work with Wacom’s Pro Pen 2 or third-party offerings from Dr. Grip Digital, Lamy, or Staedtler,” The Verge points out.

“The pen display is factory calibrated to industry standards and stores up to two custom color profiles,” Engadget notes, adding that “the display is compatible with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS and Android, connecting to your laptop or desktop machine via a single USB-C cable (15-watt power delivery required).”
