About the Product

The Gaomon PD1560 is one of the newest rivals on the scene, and as someone who’s always used Wacom tablets, as I was very curious to see how it measures up. With a 15.6-inch widescreen display and with the Express Keys on the shorter side, it makes for a pretty long tablet and a sizeable working space – not bad for a budget model.

XP-Pen Artist15.6 Pro adopting full-laminated technology, seamlessly combines the glass and the screen, to create a distraction-free working environment that's also easy on the eyes. Artist15.6 Pro pairs a superb color accuracy of 120% sRGB with 178 degrees of visual angle and delivers rich colors, vivid images, and dazzling details in a wider view.

What customers say about "Key Specs"

GAOMON PD1560 15.6 inch FHD Drawing Tablet

The pressure sensitivity levels of the pen and beautiful colors in the screen made my drawing experience outside my house significantly better.
The screen is very nice, and it comes with a protector that I immediately threw away because the experience of drawing directly on the screen is much better.
You can also adjust the actual area that responds to the pen through the driver software, but I haven't attempted to use this as I haven't needed it.
It would only work if set to low resolution, and only displayed a small area in the center of the tablet.
The work area was stuck at a maximum of 1280x720p when it was advertised at 1920x1080p. This put a damper on my excitement about the product originally.

XP-PEN Artist15.6 Pro 15.6 Inch Drawing Pen Display Graphics Monitor Full-Laminated Technology Drawing Monitor

Very pleased with the product, its price, the stylus, and its use. Its feel so quality building in high level.
The large and beautiful tablet with an amazing stylus, this is exactly what I was looking for.
Great tablet, love the screen, pen pressure, learning more about pen tilt, and no parallax effect after calibrating the pen.
When I got the device, I couldn't help but feel that the stylus felt a bit cheap; it is slightly lighter than Intuos styli, the rubber grip is not as dense, and the seam in the rubber is more noticeable.
Compared to Wacom, XP-pen's stylus feels a little bit clunky and unnatural.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"

GAOMON PD1560 15.6 inch FHD Drawing Tablet

I love the Gaoman PD1560. It is a great size for work and travel.
The Pen is a good size and feels good in the hand, actually a better build then the standard Wacom pen.
The size is perfect, and it came quick. It helped boost my confidence in drawing.
The pen is a good size. It fits well in my hand. The nib feels nice to use on the screen.
The device itself is light weight and comes with what I would dub as a starter bundle of accessories.

XP-PEN Artist15.6 Pro 15.6 Inch Drawing Pen Display Graphics Monitor Full-Laminated Technology Drawing Monitor

The build quality is excellent, not TOO heavy, but heavy enough where it doesn't feel cheap.
It is a decent weight and size, though I wouldn't imagine dragging this thing everywhere with me, but that's just my usage.
Other than some minor issues, this is the highest quality wacom alternative display tablet of this size.
I absolutely adore this product the scroll is surprisingly addictive and the size is perfect!
If you push hard on the screen it makes some waves, not very noticeable but still.

What customers say about "Display Parameters"

GAOMON PD1560 15.6 inch FHD Drawing Tablet

The screen feels really good and smooth with the protector and without it there's not much difference at all.
The screen is really solid and feels great to draw on. It's very reflective when off which caused some concern at first, but when the tablet is on you can't see anything reflected.
Fortunately, I've yet to find any faults like that with this art monitor. The colors and values the display throws out are 100% accurate and true.
The screen resolution is fantastic. The picture quality is very clear. It definitely has a good amount of lighting and it does not hurt my eyes.
The first time you plug in it changes its resolution unless you let just the tablets monitor working and turn of the laptop's monitor.

XP-PEN Artist15.6 Pro 15.6 Inch Drawing Pen Display Graphics Monitor Full-Laminated Technology Drawing Monitor

Overall I like it very much. I like the design and built quality, of both the display and the pen.
This is honestly a great graphics display. I can’t complain, sometimes it seems that for such a display I’m ready to pay even more.
The display colors weren't perfectly accurate, but they're acceptable and the tablet software makes them easy to adjust.
Good color out of box, pretty bright display, very affordable and easy to use.
Stunning display and comes with express keys that respond really well and feel sturdy.

What customers say about "Features"

GAOMON PD1560 15.6 inch FHD Drawing Tablet

Its very fluent in the motions and pressure sensitivity and the shortcut buttons really make this tablet the ultimate selling point.
The build quality is great. Buttons on the unit give good feedback when you press them. The screen is really solid and feels great to draw on.
The tablet also comes with a little stiff bag, more similar to a computer's case for you to move the device whenever you want, such a nice detail from Gaomon.
The screen comes with a poorly attached screen protector that, to be honest, you can just peel it off because it doesn't feel bad drawing in the glass.
The stand is currently unweighted, and easy to knock over. Minor nitpick, but it's a little touch that a 15-cent metal washer could fix.

The buttons and dial are responsive and solid, and the pen feels solid, though I would have liked the button near the pen tip to protrude like the other button does.
The pen tilt feels great, especially in software that utilizes it well, like Rebelle 3 and Photoshop.
A microfiber cleaning cloth, a spandex artist glove to keep skin oils off the screen (Only covers the pinky and ring fingers, is reversible,) and most importantly, a multi-functional pen case.
The functionality of the drivers themselves are amazing, no lags, smooth working.
After calibrating, my brush strokes come out as smooth and as natural as I want them to, and I have a good feeling of control.
