16-inch 4K OLED Pen Display
Brilliant Color & Stunning Image Quality
The Pen Display 16 is the industry's first 16-inch 4K OLED pen display. It is 10-bit and delivers 1.07 billion colors, giving enhanced color reproduction from deep blacks to vibrant highlights. The screen's resolution is 3840 x 2160, and it has a high contrast ratio of 100,000:1.
Preloaded Color Spaces for Convenience
These five common color spaces used across various industries are pre-calibrated in the Pen Display 16: Adobe RGB: 98%, P3-D65: 98%, sRGB: 99%, REC 2020: 82%, REC: 709 99%. This allows you to view your work as intended without requiring color calibration of the display, so you can start creating right out of the box.
Super AG Etching Display
The specially designed display surface, Xencelabs' Super AG Etching Display, significantly reduces distracting glare and gives excellent clarity in brightly lit environments or rooms with overhead ceiling lights, providing a clear and uninterrupted drawing experience.
Optically Bonded Screen
The screen of the Pen Display 16 is optically bonded, eliminating parallax and producing a bright, clear image with no "sparkling" effect to distract or tire eyes.
Fluid, Accurate, Responsive Pen Strokes
Finely Tuned Pressure Curve
The pressure curve has an initial activation force of 3g and ranges to 500g. This allows for delicate strokes as well as strong, bold lines and everything in between. Thanks to a panel of artists who provided pressure data, the pressure curve has been meticulously tuned, and pen response is adjustable to match any drawing style. Whether heavy or light handed, the pen provides control, sensitivity, and precision.
Smooth Drawing Experience
The Pen Display 16 provides beautiful pen control thanks to its etched surface texture, thanks to Xencelabs' Super AG Etching Display. This allows the hand to glide smoothly across the screen, and the friction of the pen nib against the screen provides a traditional pen-and-paper-like drawing experience.
