PD1161 Drawing Tablet with Screen, Digital Art Tablet with Battery-Free Stylus, Tilt, 8 Shortcut Keys for Paint, Design, Illustration, Editing, 11.6-inch Graphics Tablet for Mac, Windows PC

I have had this tablet for about a year now and I can confidently say this is an amazing tablet! It a wonderful start out if you’re looking for a larger screen but don’t want to drop $1-2k on the higher name brands. I’ll give a couple pros and cons about the tablet and hopefully it’ll help those who are deciding if they want to get one! Pros! *Large screen! - I’ve have used the 12.9 iPad Pro for almost 6-7 years, but always wanted something larger. This screen suits my needs so well! I don’t like to use shortcuts so I’m able to adjust my program to accommodate my tools and windows. *Sensitivity - I was worried with it being a lower cost tablet that there would be some sensitivity issues…nope!! It’s perfect! The pressure can be adjusted to your desire as well, but I pretty much left it how it came out of the box! The is no lag, but I will say it depends on your computer. I noticed I got a bit of a lag on my iMAC, but that’s because it’s old and I had to unselect screen recording to have it optimized better. But I had no issues when I used it in my Windows gaming Laptop. Just keep in mind on your processor. That my only concern on that part. *Price- Is there more to be said?! It’s at an amazing price for someone wanting to start out on a larger screen but not sure if they want to go and drop over $1K on the name brand tablets. I will say I have use a Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 during a convention to try it out, and while obviously there are some differences in quality and performance, the Gaomon PD2200 performs insanely well for its price. *Accessories - tablet is build with its own stand and already installed so no assembly required or having to purchase a stand separately! You get the display pen along with additional tips and a holder for your pen! As I’ve mentioned I have had the tablet for nearly a year and have yet to change the tip yet. But I will say I don’t use it very often as life is busy, but I will put a guess if you use the tablet everyday you may just need to change the tip out every 3-4 months depending how much pressure you use. Now to the Cons: I don’t have many but the couple I would put out would obviously be involved on how it’s priced. You get an amazing and large sized tablet for the fraction of the name brands, but it’ll come with its downsides. First would be the buttons- the buttons to turn the tablet on/off are not synced properly so I have to maneuver around to have to turn off the tablet when I’m done. It gets annoying especially when it takes more than a minute to figure out the right spot to press. The short cuts being on the top right our a bit annoying. I wish they were at the bottom but like I mentioned earlier the screen is large enough that you an adjust your tools to your liking that suits your needs or you can just use keyboard shortcuts. This is also something to keep in mind if you’re a left hand drawer. It’ll be more difficult to select the shortcut keys. Display Match - Trying to display match was a nightmare. It took a lot of time and effort to get it remotely similar. I would suggest going to your computer graphics settings and set it that way. Trying to adjust it from the tablet itself is difficult and when the buttons not being syncs properly, it makes it even more frustrating when trying to adjust the display settings. I have used this both on Windows and Mac, and Windows took a little more time but iMac has preset settings to match with it, and it made it a little easier but it’s not perfect. So just something to keep in mind when drawing. Your colors will be off so always reference from a screen you’re used to and the tablet for best results! That’s all I really have. It’s still an amazing tablet if you’re starting out on wanting a larger screen! I love this tablet despite its quirks and really happy with my purchase!!

Brightness is great, very easy to use and easy to setup. Has great responsiveness and i have really enjoyed my time with it. I use it for blender and even some photoshop stuff. If you want a screen you can see while drawing this is the way to go. highly recommend

Before I start this review if you have any issues with a GAOMON product, go to their website and email them through the support dropdown, After-sales. Trust me, if it is a bad problem like mine, your problem will be resolved. Their Tech Support is really good. I had an issue with my original tablet where it wouldn't even turn on half the time. I pretty much had a 1/4 chance of the tablet working. It was a very unique defect because when I did research online about it, nothing was brought up. However, when I emailed them back and showed them a recording of my issue, they just sent me a new tablet. I mean I had to wait for it and show evidence about the problem, but it's better than me sending back the tablet, waiting for them to receive the tablet, once they receive the tablet, they can start troubleshooting and analyzing the problem, once they fix it, they send have to the tablet back, the tablet gets lost in amazon shipping, and it's a whole fiasco. I don't have to play ping pong for my stuff to work. Gaomon more like, "Hey, we see you have an issue, if there is a solution that we know off, we'll tell you what you need to do to resolve your issue, but if there isn't, we going to help you get a new one new one with no flaws." 11/10 customer service because what more would you want. Now on to the actual product itself (BTW: This was on a pretty decent modern computer if I do say so myself.) : Cons: 1. A lot of people have already said this, but I will say it too, make sure you have an HDMI port. I didn't have to suffer this issue because my computer has a pretty good graphics card. But, if you buy this for a laptop, make sure you have an HDMI port because you might end up buying an adapter if you don't. The reason why I say this is because I plan on using this for both my PC and my laptop, which both have an HDMI port. 2. This tablet does not have an integrated battery, but a power adapter. The power adapter is pretty bulky so you would need some space when plugging it in. I had to move some wires around, but it is around spring cleaning. I needed to clean up anyway, lol. This is an issue because if you are using an already filled-up power strip, as I am, you might have to reorientate and organize your plugs. 3. Calibration is a bit off. I needed to mount my tablet's monitor to my other monitor for the calibration to be correct, default settings. Though, I will say that the calibration for my laptop is okay. I will say it is still a bit off, but it is not as bad as my PC. Though I am assuming this is a problem with my PC/drivers and not the product itself. Calibration is on the software side, not the hardware side. So if you want to go in-depth and get the most accurate calibrations, either tinker around with the default drivers or test around and do some research on tablet drivers. I have a pretty good calibration set-up only using the default settings. Note: I am a left-handed hobbyist. I draw for fun, and I'm not good at it, lol. Because I needed to mount the tablet's monitor to my monitor, I have 2 monitors, using left-handed mode is pretty much impossible for this set-up. Because I would then flip my screen's orientation, my monitor's screen orientation, I would pretty much have my main monitor and my secondary monitor that is flipped upside down. Obviously, I don't want an upsidedown monitor. But, this is not an issue if I used the tablet's inbuilt screen. If I really wanted to, I could set it up so that I can do left-handed mode with the tablet's in-built screen, but I'm lazy. So, this only applies if you are left-handed, and you are too lazy to do the calibration on the in-built screen, like me. Or is left-handed and is serious about drawing. You draw in small, but you see your result on the bigger screen. But to be honest, the majority of things are made to be right-handed, heck even the glove that is included is right-hand orientated. Exception for the tablet, who really cares? Just flip the glove over, lol. Pros: 1. Screen is smooth. It ain't butter, but it's more like "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!" You know it ain't buttery smooth, but it is close enough. Unless your eyes are trained in the mountains to see the minute differences between hertz on a computer monitor, you not gonna see the difference. I mean there is some stutter, but it ain't as bad as a computer with a low CPU, and RAM installed into it. So low to the point where you might as well just install Windows 1998 or Unix on it because anything higher would make it explode like Minecraft on RTX. The screen is large and the stutters aren't even common, there like once in a blue moon. I mean you might see it once in a while, but that's with all tablets and monitors. 2. It is pretty portable. Now, we are not talking about the tablet being so portable to the point where you are able to put it in a purse and call it a day, except I did see some pretty big purses that I would want to buy on Amazon, but it is portable. If you have a pretty decent backpack or anything that has a good dimension and volume, you'll be okay. The wires are pretty long, but there is a velcro strap that you can tie it up with. There is also a thing about the power adapter. The power adapter is broken into two parts, so you are able to assemble and disassemble them anywhere you would like, obviously when it is plugged out and NOT plugged in. Please do NOT attempt to disassemble it when it is plugged in. You're buying this tablet for the screen, size, buttons, and useability, so please keep that in mind. 3. It doesn't have an integrated battery. Now, the reason why I say that this is a pro is that this also includes the pen. Why do I need to charge the pen to use the tablet? This is the reason why it is a huge plus. It also means that I don't need to pay for a replacement battery if I overuse the tablet either. It is the same logic as a laptop. Sure, your laptop is portable, but there is a chance of the battery going bad if you constantly charge it to full. If you consistently charge your batteries to full, you might actually kill your batteries in the long run. This applies to anything that uses a battery. Once your battery dies, either you just don't use that device anymore, or you buy a new battery replacement. This is the reason why I put this in a pro, I don't need to buy a replacement for a battery. If it breaks, it breaks. And I don't think it's going to meltdown anytime soon. 4. The pen and the button are pretty responsive. I mean you need the pen to get close to the tablet for the buttons on the pen to work, but it's okay. You are able to see custom hotkeys, it's all good.

Lovely Tab. A must for the teachers.

Totally impressed with how smooth it is, also using as a second monitor. There are some design flaws that could've been improved, connectivity is outdated, but I can deal with it.

I'm the fussiest buyer of electronics, but this tablet really made my decade. It's simply amazing. I have a small Xpen pad also (not a display) and it's good, but now it feels like a blunt children's tool in comparison. ;) My new Gaemon 22" feels like a professional precision tool that enjoyed a lot of careful design and quality commitment. The matt surface is an absolute pleasure to work with, even in my supper sunny apartment. As an added bonus it serves as an additional monitor, so i keep it righ in front of my keyboard at an angle, below my main monitor. In fact, it's a perfect primary monitor too (Normal monitors are so yesterday for me now! Haha). It doesn't work with finger touch, so you always have to use a pen but I got used to it easily. It's worked perfectly the first time I pluigged it in on my Windows laptop, and later on my linix PC too. I installed the driver as an afterthought just to get the software for editing the settings and configuring the buttons. I use Krita and IncScape for art and it works beautifully with both. Still can't get over the precision! It's such a yummy feeling to have perfect control over the pen. It can draw the tiniest thin littel lines and the line starts exactly where you touched the pen, not a milimeter below shiny glass like most tablets. It almost feels like I'm drawing with a sharp pencil directly on paper. Love it! Suggestions to GAEMON for future versions: 1. The touch buttons are stubborn and sometimes just don't respond. Plus they are way far away. So I hardly use them. 2. One USB-C cable can replace the HDMI+USB-A combo to make the tablet a bit more plug and play (like a docking station setup, or like most laptops now only require one USB-C cable to connect to power and monitor + keyboard + mouse). 3. A clip or magnetic slot on the right hand side for holding the pen might be handy

I purchased this after watching a few video reviews on Youtube and decided to give it a shot. I stand by my 5-star rating but there are some tiny litle caveats. Comparable-size models by XP-Pen and Huion are the same price (their newest models) but their screes are not laminated - this one is. Lamination is wonderful - it reduces the space between your pen nib and the cursor on the screen below it. Parallax is virtually nil, but I will note that very close to the edges the cursor does tend to pull away from the nib, but I was aware that this was a "thing" before I purchased and I was happy to "make do". It's really not terrible, and if you don't like it, just drag the area you're working on into the centre of the screen and *ta-da* problem solved. There is a "built in" screen protector under a peel-off one that you remove before using, and it's great, but there's not a lot of "tooth" to it. It's not a slick as writing/drawing on glass, but it's still kind smooth-ish. I would have preferred something more matte, but honestly, I'm kind of used to it now. I gave it 5 stars for thickness only because i've never been asked to rate the thickness of anything and I'm always up for new experiences. Having said that, the entire thing is a little over a cm thick, which surprised me because it looks thicker - in the middle on the back is a small 10cm square-ish block that sticks out where you plug in the **separate** usb/hdmi and power cables - no silly "3-in-1" cable which , if even one thing dies you still have to return the whole thing, you get three distinct cables, and that's awesome. Also the adjustable stand is already attached when you get it, so one less thing to fiddle with. some people are not super stoked about the shortcut keys because they're not lit and your can't find them through touch, but I'm left handed so i'm just using my keyboard any way. Short, final note: I've been painting and drawing and illustrating and doing all sorts of creative things for 40 years (longer but i feel like I'm aging myself enough by admitting to 40 years) and i have sold things that i have done so I guess you could say I'm professional - and I like this and recommend it. Yes, I'm sure it's great for beginners, but really, it's a great piece of equipment for anyone, regardless of the price and if you don't have to spend $2700 to work on a big tablet, don't.

Me gusto mucho el Producto. Pero en la Entrega me lo dejaron con el Guardia argumentado que se me llamo y no conteste pero no tuve ninguna llamada perdida ! Gracias !
