Wacom One 14 (DTC-141) notes
Summary
The Wacom One (DTC-141) is a decent entry level consumer pen display with OK drawing performance at a competetive price.
The OK rating for drawing performance is due to the physical pressure range of the pen which has a HIGH IAF and LOW maximum physical pressure.
The tablet will require buying $100+ of additional accessories if you need to connect to your computer with HDMI. HDMI will be almost certainly needed to connect it to desktop computers.
This tablet makes sense for the following scenarios:
someone's first pen display
a good tablet for a beginner
light artistic work
for use in education or communication or online meetings
Ensure you understand how it will connect to your computer. This tablet is intended to connect to your computer via the provided USB-C cable. You MUST make sure your USB-C port on your computer meets all the requirements. It is possible to connect to your computer via HDMI. However, this requires the purchase of the Wacom Converter ($80) and additional cables.

Display
Anti-glare sparkle
LOW (GOOD)
Viewing angles
Very good. Almost no color shift at extreme angles.
Surface protection
The surface is etched glass
the tablet does NOT come with a screen protector
Display sharpness
Very good. Pixels are clear and well-delineated.
Pixelation
As expected slightly more pixelation (slightly lower PPI) than previous Wacom One tablet that have same native resolution but are 13" instead of 14".
I did not notice the difference in practive.
Drawing performance
The drawing performance OK. It's not bad. However, it does not match the excellent experience you would see with a Wacom Cintiq or Wacom Cintiq Pro and their professional pens.
Static tracking accuracy
EXCELLENT. The pointer is directly under the tip of the pen across the entire surface when the pen is held perpendicular to the tablet
Tilt compensation
EXCELLENT. At all angles the pointer is very close to the tip of the pen.
Diagonal wobble
Low wobble at all strokes speeds
In Krita, weighted smoothing at level 30 removed the wobble
In comparison, Wacom Movink 13 has less notably diagonal wobble
Pointer lag
OK. Typical for a pen display of this size.
Artifacts at low pressure
TYPICAL. Drawing near IAF with large brushes (ex: 300px) you might see some blobby strokes. Can control with pressure curves and pressure smoothing.
Pressure banding
EXCELLENT. No pressure banding observed.
Pressure range (IAF and MAX)
See my notes on the Wacom One Standard Pen (CP-923) - my notes on this pen
Pressure scan rate
EXCELLENT. No missed strokes during fast input of 50 strokes
Pressure Banding
GOOD. DIsplayed NO pressure banding.
Parallax
VERY GOOD (LOW)
Pressure curves
The "Tip feel" slider in the Wacom One application controls the pressure curve. However the curve itself is not shown in the Wacom Center, just the slider.
Surface texture
OK. Light surface texture. Typical of many pen displays
Feels similar to MovinkPad 11 or Movink 13
Pen does NOT feel slippery on the glass
Enough texture to draw well
Ergonomics
Noise
None. Completely silent. Has no fans to cause noise.
Heat
Stayed cool to the touch even at 100% brightness brightness
Legs
Does not have legs
Stand
Does not come with a stand.
For this tablet, Wacom suggestes the Wacom Foldable Stand (ACK652Z). This costs $100
I used the tablet with a Parblo PR-100 stand
VESA mounting
NO. Has no VESA mounting holes on the back
Other inputs
Touch
Does not support touch.
If you need touch, consider these tablets:
Wacom Movink 13 (DTH-135)
Wacom One 13 touch (DTH-134)
Auxiliary inputs
None. No buttons, No dials, etc.
Connections and cabling
Ports
1 USB-C port
USB-C connection
The tabet comes with a USB-C cable to achieve a single cable connection to your computer.
You computer's USB-C port needs to meet the requirements for this to work. See: Connecting a pen display with a single USB-C cable
HDMI connection
Instead of USB-C, the tablet CAN connect via HDMI. However it DOES NOT include the cables you need for this. AND it requires very a specific accessory for this to work.
You need to purchase:
Wacom Converter device
USB-A to USB-C cable for data
HDMI cable
USB-C to USB-C cable for power
USB-C power adapter
The Wacom Converter costs $80. If you need to connect via HDMI then you are going to end up spending more than $100.
Notes on alternative cabling
Older Wacom one tablets use their own cables for HDMI connection. I've tested and they WILL NOT WORK with this device. Here are the cables that DO NOT work:
Wacom One X-Shape Cable (ACK44506Z) - will not work with DTC-141
Wacom One 3 In 1 Cable (ACK4490602Z) - does not work with DTC-141
