For $750, the 13-inch Movink is currently on sale.
Displays and tablets manufactured by Wacom have been useful tools for designers and artists since the 1980s. These devices allow users to replace a mouse with a pen, allowing them to draw, edit photos, and perform other tasks. Among the descendants of this lineage are pen displays, which are screens that are connected to your computer and on which you draw directly with a stylus. Wacom, on the other hand, claims that it has developed something completely new just a few weeks before Apple is making plans to refresh the displays on its iPads. Movink is the name of the most recent pen display model made by the firm. It is the first pen display model to have an OLED screen. Additionally, it is the thinnest and lightest alternative that Wacom has ever offered, while still providing access to 13 inches of work surface.
On the inside, there is an OLED display manufactured by Samsung that has a full high definition resolution, 10-bit color, and a contrast ratio of 100,000:1. The characteristics of OLED allow for “perfect black point,” as stated by Wacom, which is something you can anticipate. Because artists place a high priority on color accuracy, the Movink is capable of covering 100 percent of the DCI-P3 color space and 95 percent of the Adobe RGB color space, with a Delta E difference of two or less. According to the manufacturer, the pen display is factory calibrated to meet the standards of the industry and can save up to two different types of unique color profiles. Additionally, it has been certified by both Pantone and Pantone SkinTone, and additional calibration via the Wacom Color Manager is available for additional adjustments.
Other than its design, the OLED panel offers a number of advantages. In comparison to the other pen displays that Wacom offers, Movink is said to have the quickest response time and also has an enhanced pen detection height. The manufacturer guarantees that there will be no ripples or light leakage, and that the gadget will operate at a lower temperature and with less noise than other versions. Moreover, Movink is a touch display, and it features two buttons that can be customized on its thin bezel, allowing you to quickly access the tools that you use the most.
According to Wacom, the Movink pen display is the smallest and lightest pen display it has ever produced. It weighs only 420 grams and measures 4 millimeters at its narrowest point. According to the business, this is 66 percent thinner and 55 percent lighter than the Wacom One 13 Touch, which is a comparable-sized choice that is meant more for novices. The body is built of magnesium alloy, and the screen is covered in Corning’s Gorilla Glass. This allows you to carry it around in a bag with your laptop without having to worry about scratches or other damage.
The pen is, without a doubt, an essential component of this arrangement. Wacom claims that the experience provided by the Pro Pen 3 on the Cintiq Pro series of displays is identical to that of the Pro Pen 3 that is included with the Movink, which comes with a specifically designed version of the stick. To be more specific, the sensitivity and tilt detection capabilities of the Pro Pen 3 are helpful for a wide range of drawing tasks, including detailed digital painting and fine line work. Wacom improved the design of the pen nib in order to have a greater visibility, which should result in an overall improvement to the drawing experience. Even if you are working outside of your typical studio location, you will be able to swiftly solve any problems that may arise because the nib remover and replacement nibs are both contained inside the pen.
Wacom’s Dual Pen technology is supported by the Movink, making it the first professional-grade pen display to do so. This enables users to use styli manufactured by other businesses. Many other brands of pens, such as Samsung, Staedtler, Lamy, and Dr. Grip, are included on the list of devices that are supported. It is also possible to utilize older versions of the Pro Pen in conjunction with the Movink. Additionally, you can use Wacom’s UD pens from the One series of devices. A single USB-C connection is all that is required to connect the display to your desktop or laptop computer. It is compatible with Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, and Android. There is a requirement for a 15-watt power delivery solution.
At the moment, the Wacom Movink may be purchased via the company’s online store for the price of $750 (or €850 and £730). Additionally, the company will be selling a foldable stand for $80 and for $45, respectively. On the other hand, both of those things are currently labeled as being unavailable for purchase.
