Quite smooth, works well, didn't have any problems yet. I had a few stuck pixels but they went back to normal. This thing is worth the money.
I hadn't switched off of my previous screen protector ever since I initially got my Gaomon tablet, and it had either accumulated a lot of dust or had a lot to begin with due to some awkwardness during setup. In either case, receiving a new one more recently made a large difference for me.
Included with the package is a set of instructions and small tools for applying the screen protector efficiently, which means that this new one is not only very smooth (and free of scratchy sounds and the like), but also virtually free of bubbles and other issues. The difference is like night & day as a result.
Thank you for putting so much love into this product, Gaomon!
I was not disappointed after using the Gaomon. You can tell it's made with quality material. Drawing on it looks great. Only suggestion is to include instructions how to set up drawing range aspect ratio and how to calibrate the pen.
A really good tablet for Osu pretty high quality low response time
I bought this replacement for my pd1560 and it was the perfect size and same texture as the one I got when I bought the tablet! I’m very happy with it, only upset because mine got slightly damaged in transit :/ Otherwise VERY happy with this💕
This arrived with no issues, but i am soured by my last experience with Gaomon.
It sat in China for a whole month before they decided it was finally time to ship it overseas.
It’s really big, I had to remove my existing monitor and get out my laptop, it’s not bad, but it seems to me that I would still need to set it up and get used to it, and so I’m a happy
This is an amazing tablet for someone who's starting off with their digital art career. Genuinely, I highly recommend it to anyone thinking of starting something new, a hobby or such!
Got this for my birthday a year ago, no issues with it at all maybe only the cords flipping on and off sometimes but that’s my issue. Extremely hard to scratch and damage screen and pen is quite delicate but still very good!
Je l’ai depuis plus d’un ans et c’est un vrai plaisir de travailler sur mes projets personnels avec cette tablette.
I already knew switching from my old, nearly 10 year old drawing tablet would make a difference. What I didn't realize was how big of an improvement it would be. Having a screen to draw directly onto, as well as functioning as a 3rd monitor for me, is game changing.
As for specifics of the device itself, it's a great size and fits perfectly into my desk. Its very slim and easy to move between my drawing space directly in front of my chair, and it's monitor space off to the side. I love how easy it was to set up, and the customizability of the buttons on the side and on the pen are wonderful.
I've run into a few minor gripes that aren't major but do affect my experience. Firstly, the stand doesn't sit up as tall as I'd like. The tablet is perfect height for drawing which I guess is the main purpose, but I'd like to be able to sit it up taller when it's set aside so I can see it and use it as a monitor easier.
Second, the pen often seems to think its touching the screen when it's not, and is in fact hovering above it. This has resulted in some faint tiny lines being drawn on my canvas when i lift the pen and move my hand, but the tablet thinks there's still pen pressure. It also leads to a lot of double clicking on things, resulting in misclicks in my art program and opening things I did not intend to, as well as some of the button inputs not going through as if you press a button while the pen is touching the screen it does not seem to send it through. I can adjust my workflow to accommodate these issues, or maybe they can hbe fixed in settings. I have only been using it for a few days so I haven't experimented a lot yet.
However these are minor issues and have not stopped me from drawing with this tablet. It is a wonderful upgrade from my old one, and I genuinely feel that drawing has become much more enjoyable now that I have a shiny new toy to use.
Bought this for my daughter and she is really happy. Absolutely 5stars.
It works perfectly for me and was easy to set up learn too use. I wish it had a left handed version though.
Crazy massive, so much space to draw on. DEFINITELY NOT PORTABLE, it can even be used as a second monitor. It has pretty good resolution. Stand is AMAZING, its adjustable in pretty much everyway. Side buttons are very accessible. This is definitely a better upgrade from the Wacom One!
I came back here after 6 months of using this tablet because i thought the future clients deserve to be reassured that this tablet is absolutely amazing. Besides the attractive color, Its surface is smooth, and the pen sliding against it feels and sound like real paper, and it’s large enough to move your hand so drawing on it is really comfortable! 8 personnalized buttons and a scrolling wheel, too many option and i honestly think it’s more than enough! The scrolling wheel is so adorable, it makes a ticking sound with each tick a corresponding value is assigned (for increasing brush size for example, each tick is 1 px, if you scroll faster it multiplies i think)
Battery : As for the battery, I’m surprised at how much it can hold! The pen itself is battery free so no need to worry about charging it, but the tablet is able to hold up to 72 hours of usage according to the website, which is true because i use it for at least 4 hours a day on average, and i don’t have to charge it in weeks ! A good thing about it is that it automatically shuts down after about 10mins of inactivity.
Driver : The driver could use some updates and tweaks, like showing the real percentage of the battery or such, but it’s pretty easy to use to set up shortcuts and orientation. It’s left handed friendly which is really cool!
Pressure sensitivity : it got sooo many levels, I’m not sure how that works and what 16K pressure means but i can feel that it’s a lot! It detects the smallest change in pressure which allows you to draw smoothly, and all of that can be changed and modified to your liking in the driver settings!
It’s also pretty light it became my road friend hahah i take it to university and it doesn’t take much space. I can safely say that it’s pretty solid too. I dropped the pen many times from a desk level and it’s still working perfectly.
It also got like freaking 30 spare nibs ! The original one i had 6 months ago is in good shape and can last for another 6 months, at this point this tablet can stay with me for my next 30 years of life!
Overall, I’m so satisfied, probabely the best thing i spent my money onto. The quality is really good for its price. I had a wacom before and i still prefere this one. This brand is so underrated!!

Hey GAOMON TEAM, thank you very much for your inquiry.
I find the graphics tablet to be very high quality and well made.
Now I have to get to know it in order to work well and efficiently with it. For three decades I have done all my image editing with the mouse. The graphics tablet now represents a new challenge for me. I have accepted this challenge and will definitely win, I hope.
Best wishes from Michael
The design is so clean, and it's bigger than i expected. The canvas is wide and allows me to work comfortably. This is the perfect tool that i was searching for the last few years. Thanks Gaomon <3 This is amazing!
I love this screen protector! The anti-glare is a life saver if you draw on a desk near lamps or overhead lighting, and the paper-like texture is a much more pleasant experience compared to the slippery surface of the PD2200 without it. My original lasted several years before finally being scratched up enough to need replacing, and I struggled to get much done while awaiting a new one due to how insane the glare and smudging on the screen was without this.
Customer Service was amazing, too. My first screen protector arrived damaged with scratches, bends, and a deep scratch down it from what I assume was damage caused by another box in the shipping. They sent me a new one right away at no extra charge, and I'm happy to say the second attempt was a success! I now have a new screen protector applied and am reminded how much better of an experience this tablet was with the paper-like texture and anti-glare I had before.
I will say, though, you absolutely will need at least one other person to help apply this to your tablet. The screen is just too big for one person to easily do without issue. My advice is to have someone who pulls the film off slow while another uses the card to press it down and work out bubbles. It comes with everything you'll need to apply it; a dust cloth, cleaning wipes, and a card to press it down! All you need is a friend or family member and you're good to go! Go lengthwise, from one side to the other, slow and steady, and it goes on just fine.
This is the first drawing pad and I am so glad it is! Super easy to set up. I'm left handed and installed the stand backwards so that when the pad is resting the buttons are on the right. That way my right hand has fast access to the buttons while my left hand is holding the pen. Setting allow you to flip the screen 180 degrees with ease. Compatible with photoshop out of the box, I just had to reprogram the hotkeys with the included software.
Given the extremely low cost of the tablet over the consistently updated software and the large range of functionality, this tablet is one of the most cost effective products, especially for budding digital artists. With 10 customizable key binds, and 3 customizable modes for the scroll wheel, the tablet has access to a lot of versatility. the kit that the tablet comes with is also entirely worthwhile, with extra nibs and bags, and a small case for the pen as well.
general complaints regarding the tablet are in regards primarily to convenience and form, rather than functionality.
-The USB micro C port included only allows for the 90 degree cable to face one direction, restricting rotation and positioning of the tablet, USB micro C is also falling more and more out of use with the rise of USB C, being bi-directional.
-the materials that are used in the production of the tablet are, given the price, relatively good, but lacking in some departments, with the buttons being cheap and wiggly.
Overall this tablet is not just usable, but versatile, convenient, and well worth the low cost that comes with it, especially given how long it has lasted, being just over 3 years (maybe 2 I forget), with little to no degradation (with proper care). The only improvements that could be implemented would likely increase the cost of the tablet, and are primarily for quality of life, through things like tablet stands and a pen holder that isn't made of ribbon.
