Wacom Movink is a radically new product category that combines the professional pen experience of the Wacom Pro Pen 3 with a brilliant 13.3” inch full HD OLED display in a super slim, ultra-light, highly versatile, portable device at a competitive price.

Weighing only 420g and measuring a mere 4mm at its thinnest point, Wacom Movink sets a new standard as the thinnest and lightest Wacom pen display to date and many all-in-one devices currently on the market. For comparison, it is an impressive 66% thinner and 55% lighter than the similar-sized Wacom One 13 touch. The robust Corning Gorilla Glass and durable magnesium alloy body make Wacom Movink is a sturdy device that easily fits into any bag.
Deeper blacks, higher contrast and vibrant colours with OLED
Wacom Movink is also an ideal opportunity for students and freelancers seeking to upgrade their creative tools to a professional level display and pen performance. The 13.3" Samsung OLED display delivers a Full HD resolution with 10-bit color, a contrast ratio of 100,000:1 and perfect black point thanks to the exceptional qualities of OLED technology. Creators can expect rich, deep blacks and exceptional color accuracy, optimized to offer 100% DCI-P3 and 95% Adobe RGB coverage, with a Delta E difference of 2 or less. Wacom Movink is validated by Pantone® and Pantone® SkinTone™, factory calibrated to industry standards and stores up to 2 custom colour profiles. For colour critical workflows it can also be hardware calibrated with Wacom Colour Manager.
Ultimate Wacom pen on screen experience
OLED technology not only enhances the visual experience, it also takes the pen on screen experience to the next level. Leveraging the unique attributes of OLED displays, Wacom Movink achieves the fastest response time of any Wacom pen along with increased pen detection height and no visible parallax. Moreover, working on an OLED display creates no ripple or light leakage. It is also much cooler and quieter as it emits no excess heat or noise from ventilation.
Wacom Movink comes with a dedicated version of the Wacom Pro Pen 3* specially designed for use with Wacom Movink. The slim pen offers Wacom’s best pen on screen experience on the same level as the latest Cintiq Pro line, with impressive pen sensitivity and tilt detection for a wide range of artistic expressions, from powerful brushstrokes to delicate lines. The refined design features a slim pen tip and narrow carbon shaft nib providing enhanced visibility and reduced obstruction. The Wacom Pro Pen 3 packed with Wacom Movink is an exclusive model featuring a nib remover and three replacement nibs located in a dedicated holder within the pen, ensuring that any nib emergencies are swiftly resolved.
*Please note that utilizing customizable parts of the Wacom Pro Pen 3 requires owning or purchasing a Wacom Pro Pen 3 separately.
