Verdict

The Gaomon PD1610 is a 16-inch pen display featuring a 2.5K QHD+ resolution (2560 x 1600) with a unique 16:10 aspect ratio that provides 11% more vertical workspace than standard 16:9 screens. It boasts a fully laminated, anti-glare etched glass surface with a 120% sRGB color gamut and 1.07 billion colors, paired with the battery-free AP51 stylus offering 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity and ±60° tilt support. Key advantages include its high pixel density (188 PPI), eight customizable touch-sensitive express keys, and versatile connectivity via dual USB-C ports and mini HDMI. However, notable drawbacks include potential UI scaling and fuzziness issues on macOS, touch keys that are prone to accidental activation due to a lack of tactile feedback, and relatively low peak brightness at approximately 220 nits.
