Gaomon PD156 Pro pen display (review)

[@ohshiet6726]

Ya'll acting like this product just came out while it was released November 2019... For $319 (after coupons via Amazon) that's a steal compared to the original price I've paid when released ($399) About to be two years as I'm still using this for outdoors and shiz, and it still preforms well.

Bought this model used n have been using it for about 3 weeks now. Loving it so far. No issue and i have been having a blast drawing on it. Thank u for the review Teoh

[@neilgadsby3924]

As always, a good quality review with lots of useful information. Thank you.

[@shinpekubeta4816]

Justo estaba pensando en comprarme esa tableta. Muchas gracias por la review de calidad.

[@single-6117]

En donde la vas a comprar yo estoy buscándola

[@rewanji]

Sorry Gaomon, it really doesn't look a very "Pro". More like a entry level model. Good review, as always.

[@visualskills6656]

You want a premium feeling for that price in that case go get a Cintiq if you wanna look “pro”

[@bbtund81]

14:49 Oh boy. I can see the wobble while increasing the pressure sensitivity. This is a warning for my budget here.

[@richardmika2136]

never heard of it shortcuts look neat set up

[@nopenopeagain4397]

I really wish tablet manufacturers dropped the octopus/3-in-1 cable stuff and used different ports like in the Veikk VK1560 Pro. I don't want to be unable to use my $400 tablet because a $5 cable broke and I have to wait for another one to arrive from China, even if everything is free under warranty. Also, the pen holder and stand look like Huion's.

[@brenolad]

There's a funny irony with Chinese companies ripping off each other

Any plans to review Gaomon PD1621? It has touch, 4k display, 15,6" , but I can find it only aliexpress so far. And zero reviews on youtube :( I'm interested to see the difference between Gaomon PD1621 and Xp pen Pro16TP, both are touch displays!

[@d0gmaticsoul]

nice review! downside is really the green color level

[@SkyLarkArk]

Which one should I buy VK1060P or H1060P

[@Jason-kc2df]

My pd156 pro doesn’t have the same driver as yours and I can’t even pull up the display settings. There is no button for it. Are you sure you have the Pd156 pro? Or did gaomon just change the style and functions of this model?

[@teohyc]

Maybe contact them for a different version of the driver.

[@brodriguez11000]

Isn't that the nature of textured screens, that the color and clarity would be affected?

[@teohyc]

Yeah, but some textured screens affect image quality more. Unfortunately this is one of them.

[@sto2779]

Would be great if you have a website and recommend which tablet is great for writing. I know the XP pen 15.6 pro is not good at writing. This tablet has great latency rate. Thanks.

[@teohyc]

Try to get pen displays with less than 10ms of latency for handwriting

[@sto2779]

@@teohyc Thank you for replying. I have checked many tablets and many does not not show it's latency rate. Can you recommend which display tablet is good for writing which does not have a built in PC or operating system? Thanks.

[@teohyc]

@@sto2779 You can check Gaomon, XPPen and Huion pen displays

[@sto2779]

@@teohyc Thank You for replying. I have decided with Gaomon. It seems to have better digitizer and lower latency implementation, all the reviews have parsed for it's pen accuracy and responsiveness. Huion is also a great option, but it's more expensive than older professional Wacom cintiqs such as the 21UX (3rd gen) and 22HD. For my max budget of $200 requiring precision and responsiveness needing a 16" to 22" display tablet, I am contemplating between a used Gaomon or used Wacom cintiqs on eBay. The used older Wacom cintiqs might not have great display, but it is super accurate and responsive.

[@arigato832]

Nice and complete review. thank you very much

[@jennifermolinaramos6604]

Do we have to buy photoshop or other drawing app in order to draw? I got this for my son but don’t know how to set up

[@teohyc]

Photoshop is not free. Free apps I recommend are Medibang Paint, Krita, GIMP

[@kopitegs]

Does the Eco mode reduce brightness

[@AlamoSentry]

Were you using hotkeys to zoom and rotate?

[@teohyc]

You can, but I usually use my keyboard for those shortcuts

[@Rocky-sk1kg]

HDMI cable must be connected to the monitor or to the pc?

[@teohyc]

Monitor and PC

[@ziyanahamad2d361]

Total how much tablets you have ..... Give me 1

Shame, wish it was brighter.
