Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about GAOMON PD1610

  • High-resolution 2.5K QHD display provides excellent clarity and sharp image quality.
  • The 16:10 aspect ratio offers more vertical screen space compared to standard 16:9 displays.
  • Fully laminated screen minimizes parallax, making the pen-to-screen contact feel more direct.
  • Matte anti-glare glass provides a natural 'paper-like' texture for drawing.
  • Battery-free pen (AP51) supports 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity and 60-degree tilt.
  • Single-cable connection via USB-C simplifies setup on compatible computers.
  • Build quality is solid with an aluminum alloy back and sleek, touch-sensitive express keys.
  • Highly competitive pricing for the features provided compared to larger brands.

What we don't like about GAOMON PD1610

  • Mac users may experience UI scaling issues, leading to fuzzy icons or text at native resolution.
  • Brightness levels are considered dim by some users, making it harder to use in very bright rooms.
  • The display sometimes fails to remember custom brightness settings after being turned off.
  • Touch-sensitive express keys can be accidentally activated due to a lack of tactile feedback.
  • The included stand is limited to a few fixed angles and cannot prop the display very high.
  • Slight diagonal line jitter may be present when drawing very slowly.

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.
