2:12 Okay as someone who actually uses/benefits for higher pressure sensitivity i'll explain how it is used on work. You benefit it when you need to use huge brush sizes for lets say background art, more you have pressure levels more control you have on your pencil/brush size differences (the control on how thin or large line you draw etc.). Same goes if you color large canvas pictures. However on smaller sizes such as 1080p size pictures i see not much practical use since you cannot really use large enough pencil/brush size to notice any difference or even benefit from this high pressure sensitivity (though using something like 300 ppi on 1080p gives you pretty large work area). I hope this adds some clarity for what those high pressure sensitivities are used for. (Also sorry for bad english i am not native english writer/speaker, though i explained it as good as i possibly can)
Glad to see that the wobble is so minimal now, but as a light sketcher, I really wish these alternatives would start addressing the initial activation pressure thing in future products. Thanks for the thorough review!
This is the real wacom and huion competitor if the start making bigger tablets. "random wacom alternate" i sleep "gaomon's new screen tablet": *ReAL sHiT!?!!*
And if it had 4K... And if it had better pens. And no parallax... and better buttons.. And easier stand installation........ and better screen protection.... and everything else I haven't mentioned.
Is anyone having issues using this with a Mac? I’m left handed and I can only get the tablet to work in right hand mode. Whenever I try to rotate it, the display keeps showing my old desktop wallpaper for some reason. Tried resetting it but to no avail.
The mobile studio pro is not portable at all, it is a really bulky machine, you don't have a stand... the quadro card in the 16 inch version causes problems in some machines. If you don't need the windows OS, I highly recommend the ipad pro with procreate, cheaper, more portable, on par performance, and you can make high-end work on it too. The mobile studio is more of a desktop replacement than a portable drawing cintiq. (Also I have doubt that the new wacom mobile studio will come out in the coming months/year, with the 8th gen quad-core low power intel chip, instead of the current dual core, so it would be a waste to save money, buying the machine and a few months later seeing a release of the new iteration). PS: If you are just starting out with digital painting, and you have hard to using a pen-tablet, the ipad is valid option.
I'm watching your Huion Kamvas Pro 16 video right now and you mention that you have to plug it in to a computer to use it. Is the Gaomon the same? Need to connect to a computer to use it?
Yes, these are not computers or "tablets" like you would find in Best Buy, they're basically external monitors that work with a stylus (not a touchscreen) & have been designed specifically for people using image design / editing programs. So, they usually have convenience buttons built in for the program features that are most frequently used. However, you can use them with any program if you want to use a stylus with it, or just as a fancy second monitor, but they have no operating system, cpu, memory, or hard drive.
You seemed to really like the Artisul D16, and since you did that video after this one, would you say overall that the Gaomon is still the better choice? I'd be doing a lot of inking, and you mentioned how great the Artisul was for that. Does the $100 difference make the Artisul worth it, or would you recommend I save the money and get the Gaomon? Sorry for my awful english.
Keep in mind, the current Gaomon price is introductory, they just jacked up the price here in Japan. So now XP-Pen Artist 16 is the clear winner (80$ cheaper)
Got this one for 330€ (390 usd) at launch. I like the tablet, what i dont rly like is the paralax that changes from corner to corner (in midle is ok at default settings but a bit of in the corners)
Great video Brad! Love all of your reviews (especially because of those awesome camera angles haha) Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing more!
I can't turn on the pen for the tablet it connects for a few seconds and then turns off I left it on charge for the whole day and got the same result can you please help me
I'm currently working on the original Surface pro, and am upgrading to a powerful desktop, and was thinking about getting a new tablet (My surface has blue-screened twice). I think it'll be viable once I wipe the system, and start anew with it, but thanks for reviewing this tablet! I'm excited to fit the bag over my head!
Brad, Thanks for the review. I have finally made the decision and your reviews helped. I should get my Gaomon 1560 in about 2 weeks. I ordered it on Aliexpress. $359.95. I opted in for the swing arm for space purposes and mobility I got the idea from a fellow youtuber, Iris Muddy .
I saw a lot, A LOT of video review and text one... I put it aside XP pen (for a lot of reasons) and the Huion 191 because, it have "bad" parallax, and lil more of Jitter, than the 1560. Unfortunately most of the reviews focus on frills, for me the tablet need a good compromise between PARALLAX, JITTER, SENSITIVITY, IF WORK WELL ALSO AT 20° INCLINATION, GAP BETWEEN GLASS AND DRAW, And now the real competitors for me (that i love to sketch) are "Gaomon PD1560" and "Huion GT-220 v2", and it is really difficult to decide, it will win for the one that is closest to the experience of sketching on paper.
Hey, saw your reviews. Pretty much you give a positive review for most of them. Not sure which one is better now after watching them all. Can you rank them maybe?
So if the screenprotector is off, will the screen get scratches? How strong or well made is the screen? BTW, I´ve never heard of this brand, is it any good? Are they trustworthy?
2:20 So you say that, if i barely touch the screen with the nibs, (like a do on paper sketching) the pen don't active, don't leave signs etc? Even if i change the sensibility or driver etc? In comparison to the Huion?
Came to check out if any new Gaomon tablets piqued your interest, and found this video from 3 years ago! Do you think you'll review some of their other stuff some day? I think they have tilt support now!
Jawbreaker Gito it connects to your laptop and just shows the computer, except you can draw on the tablet. You can use anything you could use on a laptop on This
Thanks for all you effort & sharing. I appreciated it all when I was doing my decision making, so I made sure to come back and open your affiliate link before I just ordered the PD 156 pro & some other stuff. Hopefully you'll get your kick back soon! ;)
Get this one or the HUION KAMVAS Pro 13. Probably the two best choices for you money. Either less money (this one), bigger screen but less built quality. Or more expensive (huion) with better build quality, better drivers but smaller screen size.
I loved this tablet, but since I replaced my laptop with a desktop with a 4k monitor 2 years later, it felt like there was a lot of issues with the display and pen not cooperating, and needing to set the administrator stuff everytime I turn it on, yada yada. Not sure if it means I need a bigger one.
I was looking for a direct comparison with the similar sized Xp-Pen Artist 16, AND HERE IS WAS!!!! I had been watching reviews, and doing as much research on introductory wacom alternatives (specifically this one) for over 10 days now, and thanks to videos like this one, I was able to make the decision on getting the Gaomon PD1560! (the sale price being 24% off was a major decision maker). However, just my luck, in the Checkout of Amazon, there was a problem with the shipping, with 0 explanation as to why, meaning I could not place the order and not get the tablet :( I hope that another amazing deal like this one comes out soon, (it seems very rare for any wacom alternative to be on sale :( ), and if you continue to review products like these, aimed for enthusiasts & the poor soul, then you have my subscription.
Rural Manitoba, Canada. We have encountered on occasion, certain items on Amazon that they won't ship. My brother suspects since the temperature is so low, they don't want to transport such delicate equipment out to the country, but that's purely speculation. We don't know why.
12463trf errr, there is stock right on Amazon... Though only 2 left... But will have another batch arrived soon! Please come and search GAOMON PD1550 on Amazon CA!
@@rafaelfae7839 oh boy that was an ooooold post. I ended up getting the huion kamvas gt156hdv2. Decent quality, though the sensor for scrolling wore down after a couple years, and the accuracy is a bit off as o move my head and posture a lot. There are much better models released since, so I'd be looking for.more recent releases.
You need to plug it into a computer. Most tablets aren't stand alones or 2 in 1 tablets, and those that are tend to be either very very poor quality or 1k-2k dollars.
I got it for 380. It's fantastic imo. Im using it as my first screen pen tablet and it's just amazing compared to drawing on a graphics tablet. Drivers worked great on my machine too, unlike Wacom, which I've always had issues with.
I have a question about tablets and pens. Can you buy different pens and use them with tablets they didn't come with? Or do pens and tablets only work if they are made/sold together?
The Gaomon is a dumb display that senses pressure and position for a pen. It's a micro-controller for a macro-computer. It's all semantics; just know the tablet itself is not running Photoshop and Windows.
Awesome channel, you definitely got my sub! So is this tablet still worth it til this day? I'm really looking towards this one to be my first display tablet but I keep seeing new ones pop up from the other companies every time.
Would you still recommend this now? Im looking at some official refurbished products for a tablet and Im debating between this, a Huion Kamvas 13 or a Samsung S6 Lite
Not really, we're not entirely paying for the screen. The internals of the tablet also has a price, not to mention the miscellaneous things like the bag, the stand, the pen (and other), and the labor fees of course. I'd say the screen itself wouldn't cost that much, but it's a screen that supports pen accessibility. So the screen would at least make up half of the price of the initial tablet. So instead of it being 4 times more expensive, it should be 2 times more expensive when it comes to the screen.
Hi! I have a screen monitor, a laptop and the gaomon tablet here. I am using extended display for all 3 “screens” but the cursor shows up on the laptop and not on the tablet. It only shows up on the tablet if I duplicate display for my laptop and tablet. I want to continue to use extended display so I can put up music on my laptop, references on my screen monitor and then simply draw on my tablet. Ive been stuck on this for hours and I am desperate for help. “Please send help!”
Lower parallax is not cheap. Honestly, everywhere you go you'll find at least a little bit of parallax. The best tablets with minimal parallax would probably be Wacom. They're not cheap, but that's the price for low parallax.
Ok, i m seen this video in future, so you have Gaomon and idk if you have been using it for years or you not. What kind of issues do they have or some common unsolved challenges issues have you heard about Gaomon? 😊i hope i communicate better
Brad, this tablet and the XP Artist 16 will be the same price on Black Friday, basically. Should I go for the Artist 16 because of the build? Does the Gaomon perform better or about the same?
Unbelievable ...I was now just going to paste the name of this model as had seen very good reviews about it... Did not realized you had already made a review.... lol...
I am a total noob in this area. Can anyone tell me if this is a table? Should it be connected to a PC/labtop to operate? Does it have its own operating system?
It is not a table. It is, however, a tablet. It needs to be stationary and connected to a desktop or laptop to work. No, it does not have its own OS. It is basically a second monitor that uses a pen. Hope this helps.
I'm still trying to decide between the xp pen 16 and this tablet and i was waiting for ur review of gaomon to hopefully help but im still hesitating xD (thanks for the review though). I think my question is w/o the screen protector and just drawing on the glass, how does it compare to xp pen 16? and also the cable quality. Which one is more whimsy/cheap and seems less likely to actaully be registered by the computer. Thnks!
Hi :D I just bought the tablet but reading the FAQ I realize the tablet installation program need yo to uninstall all other tablet drivers from other brands before the installation application to run. So I manage to uninstall my Wacom-tablet driver to do so. After that I thought "I need the other since i need to transport this laptop to school..." But I don´t know, would this make the gaomon-driver to crash?
Hey Brad, can you test to see if the pens for newest generation Huion tablets are compatible with this one? Just in case I might have to buy a spare pen. Thanks for the review as always.
The Huion pen I have did not work with this. Well it kinda worked but not really. Also the huion drivers on my Mac wrecked havoc on this tablet. Probably only a problem that only I will have.
Oh, ok... So I might have to contact them in case I need an extra pen... Is the Jitter on this one really that not noticeable? I'm a comic book artist, and line quality really is a premium for me.
Hi ! maybe you can help me, I have a problem with my gaomon pd 1560, the problem is the inclination of the stylus, it is enough that I change to a millimeter my way of holding the stylus so that the tip on the screen is moved and is not below the tip of the pen. is it normal or is it adjustable?
Ah, but can you buy better quality screen protector online (also eu) ? i was looking for it a bit but i wasn't sure if it's original one or better. Cool Review btw, thank you :)
the two fingers in the left hand is for if your left handed you'll know what i mean (i'm left handed myself) when you're drawing something on paper you see your hands and they are full of graffite and it smudges all the paper too and it's very annoying, so that's why the two fingers are there, so you don't smudge the screen with your fingerprints :)
My daughter wants a drawing tablet and this is the one I am Liking the best for the price. Do you have to plug in or can you draw a couple photos at the kitchen table and then plug into computer later to upload?
Its basically a second screen, I think a Galaxy Tab s3 would fit better since its only one device, or try getting a used Ipad pro since you can get them cheaper.
You said its the cheapest display tablet on the market but the Ugee HK1560 was just over 200 dollars on Gearbest.com. I'd love it if you could review that as well!
I'm starting to watch you vids, VERY informative. What I would like to know is the idea of using it with Autocad, both for architectural drafting and creating 3d art for 3d printing . What are your thoughts on this?
By the way, I just asked “the fine folks at Gaomon” and they told me that the 409 dollars price is actually promotional and they won’t be giving any other discounts for Black Friday, but this display is 5% off on Amazon.
Sketchable Daydreams I will try to struggle a better during this weekly meeting! But can't promise for now... You can come and have a look by Black Friday!
But what if you want to use the bag for your head?! :(
Pray that your head is a little smaller than mine.
and itsalexclark again :D :D :D hello :D
Then rip it apart and stitch it back together to be bigger so it can fit on your head
YAAY ITSALEXCLARK!!!
Never expected Alex to be here
Im not gonna lie, i wasnt interrested, but when i realised the bag fits on your head, it changed my mind! Lol
I knew that would sell at least one person!
Brad Colbow is there any drawing tablets with a build in battery just like a regular tablet?
@@israelguy1361 I know this is from awhile ago but there's some wacom tablets that can but you could also just get a ipad with a apple pencil

Gaomon sounds like an anime
BackToSquare1 sounds like a digimon..
Digimon
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon N64
At first I thought it was Gannon, from Zelda.
isnt digimon an anime tho
Glad to see that the wobble is so minimal now, but as a light sketcher, I really wish these alternatives would start addressing the initial activation pressure thing in future products. Thanks for the thorough review!
I've never heard of this brand...it kind of reminds me of Digimon.
Lily Vuong It's Gabumon!
I was thinking Gatomon without the T.
Which happens to be my favourite Digimon too haha.
My iPad autocorrects it to Gatomon when I type it, so I imagine that’s a thing
Lily Vuong dammit, beat me to it!
in fact Gaomon is a digimon
Glad to have a second artist review this! Its on my wish list!

Yup it should be 4 times more expensive because the screen pixels are 4 times more than a 1080p. 4 times more pixel, 4 times more pricey.
Jasphere Rindou not necessarily. We are assuming that the price for the tablet is equal to the price of the pixels when it's a actually not.
Not really, we're not entirely paying for the screen. The internals of the tablet also has a price, not to mention the miscellaneous things like the bag, the stand, the pen (and other), and the labor fees of course. I'd say the screen itself wouldn't cost that much, but it's a screen that supports pen accessibility. So the screen would at least make up half of the price of the initial tablet. So instead of it being 4 times more expensive, it should be 2 times more expensive when it comes to the screen.
i bought the Goamon but for some reason its is not recognized in photoshop- please help
Hi! I have a screen monitor, a laptop and the gaomon tablet here. I am using extended display for all 3 “screens” but the cursor shows up on the laptop and not on the tablet. It only shows up on the tablet if I duplicate display for my laptop and tablet. I want to continue to use extended display so I can put up music on my laptop, references on my screen monitor and then simply draw on my tablet. Ive been stuck on this for hours and I am desperate for help. “Please send help!”
Thx for review ive been eyeing this tablet
Daniel Juno sammeeee
Does it need to connected to a computer though
yes, he said that you have to plug it into a mac or pc to use it.
No tilt AND you need to add extra pressure. Dang, was hoping to save some money this year but I guess not.
For my Gaomon, It told me to make sure to take the screen protector off before I use it.
Is there a better version of this without or with less parallax? Maybe a bit more expensive if needed
Lower parallax is not cheap. Honestly, everywhere you go you'll find at least a little bit of parallax. The best tablets with minimal parallax would probably be Wacom. They're not cheap, but that's the price for low parallax.
Is there one that you can draw on the go then download when you get home?
Wait do you HAVE to connect it to a computer or is it mobile?
Ok, i m seen this video in future, so you have Gaomon and idk if you have been using it for years or you not. What kind of issues do they have or some common unsolved challenges issues have you heard about Gaomon? 😊i hope i communicate better
Brad, this tablet and the XP Artist 16 will be the same price on Black Friday, basically. Should I go for the Artist 16 because of the build? Does the Gaomon perform better or about the same?
Would you say that this or the XP pen drawing pad is better?
I'm happy to say I managed to score one of these tablets off Ebay for under $150, lol. It works awesome so far!
You say you'd pick this over the XP PEN 16 but would you also put it above the 16 pro personally?
Wait,does the pen come with the GAOMON pd1560?
Plz answer my question in like 16 days its my bday and I just NEED to know!
I wanted the Huion GT-191 but it’s really big and there are no hot keys soooo...
I guess I‘m getting this one.
Unbelievable ...I was now just going to paste the name of this model as had seen very good reviews about it... Did not realized you had already made a review.... lol...
I am a total noob in this area. Can anyone tell me if this is a table? Should it be connected to a PC/labtop to operate? Does it have its own operating system?
It is not a table. It is, however, a tablet.
It needs to be stationary and connected to a desktop or laptop to work.
No, it does not have its own OS. It is basically a second monitor that uses a pen.
Hope this helps.
I'm still trying to decide between the xp pen 16 and this tablet and i was waiting for ur review of gaomon to hopefully help but im still hesitating xD (thanks for the review though). I think my question is w/o the screen protector and just drawing on the glass, how does it compare to xp pen 16? and also the cable quality. Which one is more whimsy/cheap and seems less likely to actaully be registered by the computer. Thnks!
Would anyone know if it works with animation programs? Animate, toonboom harmony and after effects? D: I can't find this information anywhere
from the pen displays you've used, 15 inch and above, which is the best for light drawers (activation force)?
+Emanuel Kedmi mostly non batery pen's
Hi :D I just bought the tablet but reading the FAQ I realize the tablet installation program need yo to uninstall all other tablet drivers from other brands before the installation application to run. So I manage to uninstall my Wacom-tablet driver to do so. After that I thought "I need the other since i need to transport this laptop to school..." But I don´t know, would this make the gaomon-driver to crash?
Hey Brad, can you test to see if the pens for newest generation Huion tablets are compatible with this one? Just in case I might have to buy a spare pen. Thanks for the review as always.
The Huion pen I have did not work with this. Well it kinda worked but not really. Also the huion drivers on my Mac wrecked havoc on this tablet. Probably only a problem that only I will have.
Oh, ok... So I might have to contact them in case I need an extra pen... Is the Jitter on this one really that not noticeable? I'm a comic book artist, and line quality really is a premium for me.
Hi ! maybe you can help me, I have a problem with my gaomon pd 1560, the problem is the inclination of the stylus, it is enough that I change to a millimeter my way of holding the stylus so that the tip on the screen is moved and is not below the tip of the pen. is it normal or is it adjustable?
7yx
Recalibrate the pen, it is an option in the driver.
The Cables are good for back pannel IO on desktops.
I wanna ask you
Why we should to put the HDMI-USB- power cable when we use the tablet ?
Or we can use the tablet without the cables ??
It cant function without plugging it in.
Did you review a Parblo Coast 13 yet ?
I'm wondering how it stacks up....
Ah, but can you buy better quality screen protector online (also eu) ? i was looking for it a bit but i wasn't sure if it's original one or better. Cool Review btw, thank you :)
What computer do you use? I am considering getting this tablet and I need a new laptop/computer
I heard that this tablet has a hot spot right under where your hand rests.... like it goes crazy hot, is it true?
I should have mentioned that, It gets pretty warm, but not enough to bother me. I also was using one of the gives so that may have helped.
About the HDMI cable, is this a Mini HDMI plug that means I need an adapter to atatch to my PC with traditional Nvidia GPU???
It's a standard hdmi cable.
Brad Colbow Thanks for answer. I will just buy it this week
Have you ever heard of the Yiynova? I was wondering if it's comparable to Wacom...
I reviewed one earlier this year and I wasn't impressed. I think there are better Wacom alternatives out there.
Brad Colbow Thanks! I watched your review and it was a huge help. :D
Is this tablet portable; meaning I can draw it at Starbucks without having to connect to a PC?
no, you need a pc or laptop
can you zoom in and slide across with your finger
the two fingers in the left hand is for if your left handed you'll know what i mean (i'm left handed myself) when you're drawing something on paper you see your hands and they are full of graffite and it smudges all the paper too and it's very annoying, so that's why the two fingers are there, so you don't smudge the screen with your fingerprints :)
Artisul d16 review :-) I'm trying to decide between this one and the new Artisul.
My daughter wants a drawing tablet and this is the one I am
Liking the best for the price.
Do you have to plug in or can you draw a couple photos at the kitchen table and then plug into computer later to upload?
it needs to be plugged into the computer for you to use it. think about it like a monitor you use for your computer!
Its basically a second screen, I think a Galaxy Tab s3 would fit better since its only one device, or try getting a used Ipad pro since you can get them cheaper.
Wish my parents bought me this lol
I got a Huion 191 pro before I saw this review! But it was on 100 dollars off from Amazon.
hank wang are you liking it so far?
You said its the cheapest display tablet on the market but the Ugee HK1560 was just over 200 dollars on Gearbest.com. I'd love it if you could review that as well!
Oh interesting, That one slipped under my radar.
Yeah, there's a 21 inch version as well, love your videos!
Was... Now it is sold out/discontinued. 8[ Just as I watched enough reviews of it to be convinced to get it. 8[
I ordered mine like 3 days ago, gearbest still has them at least
I know they still had them 3 days ago. That's when I first looked at it. But I made the mistake of not ordering right then. -_-
Does it work with a Chromebook?
I'm starting to watch you vids, VERY informative.
What I would like to know is the idea of using it with Autocad, both for architectural drafting and creating 3d art for 3d printing .
What are your thoughts on this?
By the way, I just asked “the fine folks at Gaomon” and they told me that the 409 dollars price is actually promotional and they won’t be giving any other discounts for Black Friday, but this display is 5% off on Amazon.
Sketchable Daydreams I will try to struggle a better during this weekly meeting! But can't promise for now... You can come and have a look by Black Friday!
Man, really appreciate it. Couldn't hold myself though and bought the display last night!
Sketchable Daydreams haha, thank you! Any doubts you have, just come to GAOMON web online chat, and find Dora----me : )
Gaomon Dora _ Thanks! I will keep that in mind.
This program is a animate?
