# Wacom One 2023 pen displays notes
## Overview
This is an OK pen display that provides a consumer-level drawing experience in terms of pressure handling. The key limitation is that the pens that work with this tablet require more force to draw with than pens from Wacom's professional tablet series. That is typical of the Wacom One pen display series. Some people will be totally fine with these tablets, but I think there are better choices for the money.

## Notes on specs
### Display
* The new display panels have a wider color gamut. They are clearly better than the old Wacom One (DTC-133) tablet.
### Pens
* Included pen: [Wacom One 2023 Standard Pen (CP-923) notes](/drawtab/catalog/pens/wacom-pens/wacom-cp923-notes.md)
* Besides the CP-923, these tablets are compatible with the older CP-913, which you might prefer. They are also compatible with some other third-party pens.

## Drawing experience
### Stroke quality
The CP-923 is OK-ish for drawing, like the older CP-913 - I don't typically recommend either for artists. You may need to employ the use of pressure curves to get the strokes that you want. More here: [Wacom One 2023 Standard Pen (CP-923) notes](/drawtab/catalog/pens/wacom-pens/wacom-cp923-notes.md)
## Diagonal wobble
Very good. Almost no wobble visible at all speeds.
### Wacom One 13 touch (DTH-134)
A moderate amount of wobble visisble in slow and fast strokes.
## Display experience
### **Color**
Clearly more vibrant than the older Wacom One DTC-133 model. Big improvement.
### **Parallax**
Good
## Pen display > OSD

## Ergonomics
### Noise
Silent
### Heat
Both tablets felt room temperature even when working at 100%. I don't recall any hotspots.
### Legs
The new Wacom One 2023 pen displays do not have any legs. They lay flat on the desk.
The old Wacom One (DTC-133) pen display has legs on the back. You can lay the display flat on the desk or pull out the legs and draw at an angle.
Wacom is offering a very unique design for their stand.
### VESA mounting
Neither the Wacom One (DTC-133) or the Wacom One 2023 pen displays are directly VESA mountable.
## **Cables & connectivity**
### **Connection options**
The Wacom One 2023 pen displays can be connected in three ways:
* With a 3-in-1 cable (video over HDMI)
* With a single USB-C cable (video over USB-C)
* Wacom sells the "USB-C to C cable for Wacom One and Wacom Cintiq displays (2023 edition)" for this purpose.
* I personally use USB-C Thunderbolt 3 cables from CableMatters to connect it to my computers.
* More about USB-C connections: [Connecting a pen display with USB-C](/drawtab/guides/connecting/connecting-pen-display/connecting-pen-display-usbc.md)
* With two USB-C cables. One for display and one for power.
* Not all computers supply enough power over a USB-C connection to power a display. So this makes sense to provide the option. Most other pen displays work this way.
* These tablets don't draw that much power - every laptop I tested them with supplied enough power via USB for them. So it is unlikely you will need to use this option.
### Wacom 3-in-1 cable for Wacom One 2023 pen displays
The Wacom One 12 (DTC-121) and Wacom One 13 touch (DTH-134) work with a 3-in-1 cable. I SUPPOSE this is a proprietary cable.
model number: ACK4490602Z
You can buy it from the Wacom store:
