Review on 🖥️ GAOMON PD1560 15.6 Inches 8192 Levels Pen Display | Arm Stand | 1920 x 1080 HD IPS Screen Drawing Tablet | 10 Shortcut Keys by James Notti

I bought this tablet during a promotion in October but wanted to wait for the "New Shiny Toy" effect to wear off before taking a closer look. Oooh, here I am, after 200 hours of full use, a sweeping wall of user experience that I call a review, and with attached a few sample photos taken with a tablet. (And a side-by-side comparison of desktop wallpapers NOT made by me but used to better show the color possibilities.) TL version; EN: I like it. Worth every cent - even at the current price. Usually, you will find some quirks or imperfections in art monitors in the sub $500 range, such as: B. bad displays with excessively bright colors or faulty, faulty hardware. Sometimes it's serious enough to send the monitor in for a refund, other times it's not serious enough to worry about but noticeable enough to annoy you every time you use it. Luckily I haven't found anything comparable yet. Bugs like this art monitor. The colors and values shown on the display are 100% accurate and true. (And if for some reason they're not, they can be calibrated just as easily as any other monitor.) The screen quality itself is worse than my MacBook Pro's Retina display. After everything is dialed in, you should move your nose back 3 inches and compare them side by side to notice the difference. I've heard some reviewers mention parts that are actually intended for gaming displays by the manufacturers they use. While this is all hearsay and unconfirmed data, I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. Gamers (especially PC gamers) tend to have high demands on their hardware and I see nothing wrong with the display. The digitizer and stylus work perfectly. There are over 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity and pressure changes are very smooth. (Perhaps beyond human perception, but in my book it's always good to err on the side of Infinity.) The refresh rate is at least 60Hz, and there's no parallax at all. One thing to note for those transitioning from traditional art or traditional non-display digitizers: the distance between the display and the actual monitor contact surface is about 2mm. This is something you might notice as you transition from traditional art or traditional non-display digitizers, but it's a common quirk with any art monitor and is generally pretty unimportant. You will get used to it and stop thinking about it within one session. The display comes with a protective film. And with the protective film removed, the screen surface is 100% glossy and smooth. With this, the surface has a matte texture with a tooth, similar to the pattern on cold-pressed watercolor paper. There are small adhesive buttons on each corner of the protector so you can easily remove and reattach it while you check out and figure out which finish suits you. preference. As for the stylus, as someone used to passive styluses like you see at Wacom, I don't like the idea of charging the stylus. But surprisingly it wasn't a problem. I don't know exactly how long the stylus will last, but I usually charge it at the end of every session or two, so I'm guessing at least 10-15 hours of continuous use? very high." As far as I know, the battery life is probably comparable to the Kindle battery life. I've encountered two hardware issues and a third issue with the software driver. The first quirk is fairly well documented, but the second seems more like a cable issue , which only applies to my setup than anything else.(Or it could just be my cheap HDMI to USB-C adapter.) Problem 1: The cursor deviates about 1/4 inch / 4mm from the actual pen tip , as you traverse the last 1/2" / 1cm of screen real estate in point. Limits. However, it's completely predictable, so you can still hit corner keys like Photoshop's "new layer" and won't affect your workflow once you get used to it .) Problem 2: Sometimes I plug it in, and the display colors will appear reversed or rainbow colors, don't worry, it's all ok, just unplug the cable from everything and plug put it back on. Works like a charm every time. Issue 3: The hotkey mapping feature in the driver is cumbersome and lacks the ability to input hotkeys that span more than two keys. (Which means there won't be a "step forward" for me until they decide to fix it with an update.) This could easily be resolved if Gaomon went to a more orthodox "Type Hotkey in the Box " system instead of a series switches from dropdowns. . Menus that only offer a limited selection of pre-assigned keys. Of all the legitimate product bugs, this is the only one that really throws a wrench on things. Those are all legitimate cons I can think of. there are two small tastes i would change if this was my /ideal/ tablet. And it will be: 1. A weighted base for the pen. The stand is currently unloaded and easily tipped over. A minor problem, but it's a small touch that a 15 cent metal disc can fix. Small wheel/dial instead of two middle buttons. Maybe I'm just getting used to my 10-year-old Intuos 5, but when aiming for the middle two buttons (which I set as increase/decrease) I tend to fumble while drawing and accidentally hit the adjacent buttons in a dark Space (which I shouldn't be doing anyway, but still - why would I be constantly double-checking which button they're pressing when they're in rhythm?) I've also noticed a few minor improvements in my A bonus over my old Intuos What I really appreciate is that it can also be installed as a permanent extension of your main display, which is a huge benefit for people working on laptops with limited screen real estate [like mine] and those who otherwise hate Alt Tab every time they turn need to view their reference photos, simply place the reference photos on the main screen and drag the Photoshop/Sai/Krit window a/etc. to the art monitor. bam No more Alt+Tab. Definitely: I like this tablet. I'll definitely keep it to myself. Worth every month I spent.
