Samsung Display is the world’s biggest maker of OLED screens, and its panels are used by almost all brands in various types of devices. In a new move, Wacom, the world’s most popular drawing tablet maker, has released its first one with an OLED screen. And the supplier of that OLED panel is none other than Samsung Display.
The Wacom Movink is priced at the company’s store for $750. In Europe, it costs €850, while its price tag in EU countries is £730.
Wacom Movink uses Samsung Display’s OLED panel for unbelievable improvements
Wacom’s new flagship drawing tablet, the Movink, is the company’s first tablet with an OLED screen. Thanks to the OLED screen supplied by Samsung Display, this is Wacom’s lightest and thinnest tablet ever. It is a 13-inch panel with Full HD resolution, 10-bit colors, and 100,000:1 contrast ratio.
Wacom claims that Movink covers 100% of DCI-P3 color space and 95% of Adobe RGB color space, with a Delta E of less than 2. The Wacom Movink display is calibrated at the factory and has received two color accuracy certifications: Pantone and Pantone SkinTone. The Wacom Color Manager app allows further color calibration.
OLED advantages don’t end there. It has improved pen tracking accuracy and detection height. Wacom has promised that it also has light leakage or ripples. Moreover, the Movink runs cooler and quieter than previous-generation drawing tablets from the company. There are two customizable buttons to access the most used tools.
The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass, while the body is made using magnesium alloy. The Pro Pen 3, which comes bundled with the Movink has sensitivity and tilt detection, and its nib is designed to increase visibility.
Movink is compatible with Samsung’s S Pen stylus
There’s another Samsung connection here. The Movink has Dual Pen technology, making it compatible with other styli, including the S Pens from Samsung. Other compatible brands include Dr. Grip, Lamy, and Staedtler. If you didn’t know, Wacom’s drawing and writing technology is used in all Samsung phones and tablets that come bundled with an S Pen.
The Wacom Movink is compatible with Android, ChromeOS, macOS, and Windows, which means it can be used with Samsung’s laptops, smartphones, and tablets. It connects with the host device via a single USB Type-C cable, provided that it can get 15W of power from the host.
