Verdict

The Gaomon PD1560 is a budget-friendly 15.6-inch pen display featuring a Full HD 1920x1080 IPS screen with a 72% NTSC color gamut and 10 customizable express keys. It includes a rechargeable digital pen with 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity and 5,080 LPI resolution, supported by an adjustable stand for ergonomic positioning. Main pros include its exceptional value for money, generous accessory package (drawing glove, carrying case, and extra nibs), and vibrant display colors. However, notable cons include significant parallax between the pen tip and cursor, the lack of pen tilt support, and a non-laminated screen that can feel less direct than premium models.

What customers dislike about GAOMON PD1560?

  • Uses an older rechargeable pen design that requires a separate USB cable to charge, rather than being battery-free.
  • Noticeable parallax (the gap between the pen tip and the cursor) that requires frequent software calibration.
  • Cable management can be cluttered due to a thick 3-in-1 multi-cable that may be too short for some desk setups.
  • The pre-applied or included screen protector is notoriously difficult to apply without trapping dust or air bubbles.
  • Drivers can be finicky to install, particularly on Mac OS or when conflicting with previous tablet drivers.
  • The 10 express keys on the side are occasionally described as feeling wobbly or inexpensive in build.
