What we like about GAOMON PD1561

  • High value for money, often priced under $300
  • Excellent pen performance with 8,192 pressure levels and tilt support
  • Large 15.6-inch Full HD display with 100% sRGB color support
  • Comes with a complete accessory kit, including an adjustable stand and drawing glove
  • 10 customizable shortcut keys to streamline creative workflows
  • Easy setup process and solid overall build quality for the price

What we don't like about GAOMON PD1561

  • Non-laminated screen results in a visible parallax gap between the pen and cursor
  • Maximum brightness is relatively low (measured at ~117 nits), making it hard to use in bright rooms
  • Matte screen protector can be easily scratched and may make colors look slightly washed out
  • Occasional driver quirks and calibration may be required for precise alignment
  • 3-in-1 cable setup can be somewhat bulky compared to modern single USB-C connections

Verdict

The Gaomon PD1561 is a 15.6-inch IPS pen display featuring a Full HD 1920x1080 resolution and a 72% NTSC color gamut. It is headlined by its battery-free AP50 stylus, which offers 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, 5,080 LPI resolution, and ±60° tilt support for natural brushwork. The tablet includes 10 customizable shortcut keys and 5 menu keys to streamline workflow, alongside a pre-applied anti-glare film that provides a paper-like drawing texture while protecting eyes from bright light. Its main pros include its highly competitive price point, the inclusion of an adjustable monitor stand (10-90°), and a fast ≥266 PPS report rate for lag-free performance. However, some cons include the lack of a fully laminated screen, leading to minor parallax, and a relatively low maximum brightness of 220 cd/m², which may struggle in highly lit environments.
