Xencelabs Unveils Pen Display 24+: The Industry-first Drawing Display with Calman Ready Color Management Built-in

VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Xencelabs, the brand dedicated to empowering artists with premium, best-in-class digital drawing tools, announced the Xencelabs Pen Display 24+ launch today. Designed as “A New Choice for Studio Creatives,” this groundbreaking display has Calman Ready color calibration technology built-in. This industry-first feature for pen displays will deliver unparalleled color accuracy and hardware-level calibration that enhances workflow efficiency in professional industries such as photography, illustration, animation, visual effects, filming, gaming, industrial design, and other color accuracy-critical creative fields.

An Industry First from Xencelabs
To address the need for color accuracy in the digital age, and requests from Xencelabs users, the Pen Display 24+ prioritizes color management for creative professionals who use drawing displays. Developed in collaboration with Portrait Displays, the built-in Calman Ready solution enables hardware-level calibration directly on the display. By storing calibration data (e.g., LUTs) on-device, artists achieve consistent, Hollywood-grade color fidelity across devices and workflows at all times.

Studio-Grade Color Precision, Simplified 
The color calibration process is streamlined with automatic features: users connect a Portrait Display C6 HDR5000 or compatible colorimeter to Calman® Professional[1] software which can bypass complex OS-level adjustments and software interferences, ensuring true-to-life colors meeting standard such as Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, Rec. 709, Rec. 2020 and sRGB. In addition to the above color space support, the Pen Display 24+ also supports the Pantone®-validated palettes and SkinToneâ„¢-certified realism. With this newly updated compatibility, Xencelabs Pen Display 24+ makes a critical step forward for professional creators working at film studios, streaming giants, and design firms worldwide.

Beyond Color: A World-class, Premium Drawing Experience
The Pen Display 24 series provide thoughtful design and experience for every aspect of the creative journey:

  • Pen-on-Paper Feel: The Super AG Etchingâ„¢ glass surface provides optimal tooth, mimicking paper texture while eliminating glare and reflections, even under bright studio lights.
  • Finely Tuned Pressure Curve: Developed with the feedback of 100+ professional artists, the finely tuned pressure curve (8,192 levels, 3g initial activation) captures nuances from delicate strokes to bold lines. Two included pens, the 3 Button Pen + Eraser v2 and Thin Pen + Eraser v2, offer customizable shortcuts and Felt and Standard nibs for tactile versatility. They are also compatible with Xencelabs’ v2 Pen Tablet Series.
  • 4K UHD Visual Immersion: A 23.8-inch 4K display (3840×2160) renders over 1.07 billion colors with 99% Adobe RGB, 93% DCI-P3, and 99% sRGB coverage.

  • Virtual Tablet Modeâ„¢: Control multiple monitors/displays as one seamless canvas using just the pen. Draw, drag, and interact across screens effortlessly. Customize overlay color, transparency, size, and position to perfectly fit different software workspaces, delivering a smarter, more personalized workflow.
  • Silent, Fanless Design: With a fanless design and high-conductivity metal backplate, the Pen Display 24+ stays cool to the touch while remaining virtually silent, so you can stay focused on creation.
