Unfortunately for me, my M1 Macbook Air 2020 could power the pen display via USB-C but not at full power. If there's no enough power to the pen display, your configured settings will revert to default settings. The visual settings that can be changed via OSD are brightness, contrast, RGB and colour temperature (warm, cool, user).įor the OSD to remember the settings you configured, you need to ensure there's enough power supply to the pen display. To get maximum brightness you have to set the display mode to FPS (out of the options available under the ECO setting: RTS, FPS, Game, Movie, Standard, Text). Maximum brightness is just 143 nits which is comparable to pen displays from other brands. Colour accuracy is reasonably good.Īfter colour calibration, the colours are able to match those on my M1 Macbook Air (2020). I measured colour support for 100% sRGB, 82% NTSC, 85% AdobeRGB and 92% P3. All matte screen protectors will affect image quality anyway, to varying amount.Ĭolours of the pen display look good out of the box. Image quality is affected slight but it's a good compromise for the nice textured drawing surface. Pixelation is noticeable but not too bad on a 13.3 inch display. Resolution of the 13.3-inch IPS display is 1920 x 1080. When viewing from side angles, there's minimal colour shift but noticeable drop in brightness. The anti-glare on the matte screen protector isn't that aggressive. Or you can just use the pen display without the case. If you change the orientation so that the physical shortcut buttons are on the right side, those ports will go to the left but there's no opening on the case for the ports. This pen display is not designed for left handed use together with the case. I'll still put it on an adjustable stand which I can also use to prop up the pen display higher. While the gentle inclined angle is more comfortable for drawing, it's not that comfortable for drawing for long periods of time. For example, when you're done with drawing and maybe want to watch some Youtube videos, browse the web, after you prop up the pen display, you have to change the desktop orientation via your OS settings, and change back when you want to draw again. This is not a pen display suitable for use as a main display for other purposes other than for drawing. When you use the vertical deployment, the desktop is actually upside down. The pen display is likely to topple when you deploy it more vertically because the base is so small. The included flip cover stand allows the pen display to be deployed at a more comfortable angle for drawing.ĭownside of the stand is it can only be deployed at one angle for drawing.

And since it's monitor, you'll need to connect it to a computer in order to use it. A pen display is a monitor you can draw on. The pen display may be as thin as some tablets but it's not a tablet. The pen display weighs 0.8kg, and is 7mm which is thinner than the included pen. On the other side, from left to right, there's the OSD toggle button, back button, two USB-C ports and a mini-HDMI port. There are six customisable shortcut buttons. On the back are four large rubber feet for good grip on the table. The screen protector may develop scratches in the future. Make sure you don't peel off the matte screen protector. The glossy reflective plastic film for the matte screen protector has to be removed first. The pen display comes with a matte screen protector already applied. There are only three replacement nibs provided. The pen has tilt and 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity. The pen is not powered by battery so no charging is required. There are two side buttons and an eraser button at the back. The huge rubber grip is comfortable to hold. Using the USB-C cable is obviously the better option since it reduces cable clutter.ĭesign of the pen looks good. If you use HDMI cable to connect, you will need another USB cable to provide power. The pen display can be connected to your computer via a single USB-C cable for video and data.
