# Calibrate pen position

## Overview

On a pen display, you may point at one location with the pen, but the pointer appears somewhere else. This could be due to the pen being incorrectly calibrated to the display.

## What about pen displays?

Most pen displays offer a pen calibration to solve this problem.

Some, like the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27, do not offer this calibration because they are well-calibrated when you get them.

## What about pen tablets?

Pen calibration is a feature found in pen displays. Pen tablets don't need the feature.
