competitor simply couldn't resist showing off an industry first 16-inch 4K OLED aimed squarely at digital artists. It was pushed into my hands, a lightweight, smooth and smart looking display. I really wanted to turn it on and start noodling, but I wasn't allowed to go that far.

Hooking up the pen display is easy, and a large clear sheet is included to show how the mix of cables can be connected to get started. A QR code connects to the driver for download - onlyConnection is as easy as plugging in the USB-C cable and the screen automatically pings on; it's bright and clear, and the etched, smooth surface reduces glare and shine without losing vibrancy.

The real eye-catching design idea is the inclusion of large, fat bezels around the edges of the display. While other brands, like, continue to sell thin bezels as a notch on their tech bedposts, Xencecabs has gone in the opposite direction, and for good reason. If you're drawing on a display you want to rest your wrist on the edges, and if accessing menus in the top left or right corners you often need to remove your hand from the display and 'hover' outside its edges.

You'll need a laptop or desktop computer, and this works with Mac, PC and Linux .Finally, I need to mention the inclusion of a stand, called the Mobile Easel, which is a solid metal device that can be set in two angled positions, 18.3 degrees and 32° degrees. My preference is for the lower angle but I know many will like the higher position. Given its rivals sell stands as extras, this is a welcome inclusion.
