GAOMON PD1161 Drawing Tablet with Screen, Digital Art Tablet with Battery-Free Stylus, Tilt, 8 Shortcut Keys for Paint, Design, Illustration, Editing, 11.6-inch Graphics Tablet for Mac, Windows PC

I’m honestly impressed with this Gaomon screen tablet! For the price, it delivers way more than expected. It’s a screen tablet, so you can see exactly what you're drawing, which makes the whole experience much more intuitive—especially if you're transitioning from a non-screen tablet.Keep in mind, it’s not Bluetooth, so you’ll need to use the included cables to connect it to your computer. But once everything is plugged in and set up, it runs beautifully.IMPORTANT: Make sure to install the correct drivers from Gaomon’s website that match your model. This step is crucial—once the drivers are installed, the tablet works like a dream. I've used it with both Krita and Clip Studio Paint, and the responsiveness and pressure sensitivity are fantastic.Overall, this is an amazing value for artists on a budget or anyone wanting a solid, reliable drawing experience without spending a fortune.

Okay so, ive ALWAYS wanted a large screen drawing tablet and ive searched for YEARS to find the perfect one and fellas!!! I think this is as close as it gets!!! This tablet is perfect in every way (like, literally, actually perfect) and I love it SO MUCH.It has a matte screen that feels Oooooooo nice to draw and rest my hand on, the work area is MASSIVE and my wrist gets a huge break (I upgraded from the 12in iPad pro screen to THIS 22IN BABY so my joints are saved) and the hook-ups are spectacularly simple.The pressure sensitivity is so amazingly varied that no matter what sort of drawing pressure you prefer, gaomon has that covered!! Mine is a middle ground, but I could even make slight adjustments so that i barely had to touch the screen to make marks!! Fantastic.Now, story time: I did receive a defective model. Just a few hours after having it hooked up, a giant line appeared across my screen and wouldn't go away! It wasnt dead pixels, because the tablet still worked perfectly, but it was visually annoying. I contacted Gaomon support and they were so wonderful and responded in less than an hour!! At night on a WEEKEND. So they're very responsive. I showed pictures of the defect and they immediately replaced it for me at no extra charge!!!TLDR;I now have the tablet of my DREAMS and i can't possibly recommend them any harder!!! Customer support was a dream to work with and this thing is AMAZING for the price you pay.3 year update (12/9/2023):This Tablet is still amazing! I've used it tirelessly this entire time and it still works as if i bought it yesterday! It's incredibly durable and an invaluable tool in my work. There have been 0 issues the entire time I've had it and I couldn't be more grateful!I will always recommend this tablet to everyone I can, simply because of how well mine has faired, despite the passage of time and DEFINITE wear and tear I've put it through!

Once you know and understand it's shortcomings, it's a great device. I was looking for a step up from my Wacom tablet (non-display) and this Gaomon came up at a good time on black Friday deal. I use it primarily for editing photos with Lightroom so I've configured the express keys on the tablet specifically for Lr. The tablet drivers installed without any hassles. The tablet configuration program is pretty straight forward but could use a bit more explanation (not much in tool tips.) It sets up primarily for right-handed users but you can flip the configuration around for lefties. You'd also have to tell your computer to flip the display the otherway. Normal setup would be the express keys on the left while the USB/display cables would be on the right. Pen vs tablet registration are +/- 3mm on the very edges of the tablet. It will vary based on the way you calibrate the pen while you're holding it so you might want to play with calibration software and offset accordingly (make sure mouse mode is off in the Gaomon software.) I played with the calibration software and offsetted so that the pen tip and pointer were within 1-2mm of each other; this was acceptable for me to work effectively. This model color gamut was only 72% of Adobe colors and was noticeable (I do have a color calibrated primary display.) Gaomon does have a higher tier model that covers 100% of Adobe RGB but that clocks in at around $500. I can live with this difference for now until I really want that upper tier.I can honestly say that editing pictures this way is far more productive than using the non-display type of tablet where you'd rely on purely hand/eye coordination (can't go back now.) Spoiled! Gaomon was proactive in providing support. Instead of resting on their laurels and wait to be contacted; they reached out first to answer some questions. This was where they informed me of the 3mm offset discrepancy on the edges. Kudos Gaomon. My computer system setup is a Windows 10 desktop with dedicated graphics card. Cable provided in the Kit - on one end: HDMI/USB-A/Tablet Power; other end to tablet was HDMI-mini/USB-C. Cable connections on the computer end was full sized HDMI on graphics card port (extra) and USB-A. external power plug extension to power socket. Connection on the tablet - the port wells were deep and secured the cables snugly. If you're looking to use a tablet and don't already own one, I'd highly recommend you jump straight to this external display/tablet combo and bypass the regular tablet. By the way this tablet only responds to the pen and not any part of your hand. The kit dis come with a half glove for gliding over the tablet. You may or may not like this glove; I used it briefly then went without it. All the physical display adjustments are found via the display controls next to the power button. Just so you know, even if you shut off the display via the tablet button; the computer still acknowledges it as being on and available. Pen feel....feels like you're holding a sharpie. That's my thoughts for now. Cheers!
