# Xencelabs Pen Display 16 (LPH1612U-A) notes
## Overview
Overall good performance.
* The pens don't have the super low IAF that you see in Wacom professional pens but most will be fine with the 3gf IAF they do offer.
* Some moderate AG sparkle is visible - if you are sensitive to that then this tablert may not be the right choice

## Form factor
* Has a typical size, thickness and weight for a 16 pen display.
* Note, if you have used a Wacom Movink 13 which also has an OLED display, be aware that the Movink is much thinner than this tablet. To be fair, Xencelabs does not market this tablet as an ultra-portable, lightweight tablet.
## Anti-glare sparkle
Rating: OK-ish. Moderate sparkle visible.
Having some sparkle at 16" seems is normal for pen displays. However this amount is more than I would expect for a pro display. If you are sensitive to sparkle then this may not be the right tablet for you. This tablet clearly has more sparkle than the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16 (DTH-167). This is something I'd like to see Xencelabs improve for any future 4K tablets at this size.

## Diagonal wobble
The tablet exhibits moderate diagonal wobble at all speeds.
## Stand
The tablet comes with the Xencelabs Mobile Easel. [Xencelabs Mobile Easel](/drawtab/catalog/accessories/stands/xencelabs-mobile-easel.md).
## OLED longevity
To early to say. More here: [OLED Longevity](/drawtab/tech/oled-longevity.md).
