The screen's anti-glare technology, Super AG Etching™, reduces screen reflections for a clear, distraction-free view, even in well-lit rooms or where there are ceiling lights, and there is no sparkling effect to distract or tire your eyes.
Thanks to its etched surface, the Pen Display 16 delivers a pen-to-paper feel for a smooth, traditional drawing experience.
The pressure curve has been meticulously tuned thanks to pressure data from a panel of over 100 artists. It has an initial activation force of 3 g, allowing for delicate strokes as well as strong, bold lines. Pen response is adjustable to match any drawing style.
