Setup:

The connection required the integrated cables connected to various ports in the Tablet and laptop. This looks confusing in the number of cable ports to connect but works well once connected.

Installation software – This is downloaded free from www.GAOMON.net/download

Screen calibration is recommended on initial setup and pen pressure test

The software download, setup, and calibration worked well with no issues observed allowing the tablet to be placed flat on a surface or at an angle ( Bracket not supplied for angle use ) Once connected to the Laptop the option to duplicate / Extend the display is available.

Warranty

The warranty is disappointing in one year and I would have liked to see more on the warranty for a quality product.

Conclusion

The drawing table is listed as suitable for beginners and certainly requires minimal technical use to set and use.  The software installation & calibration on a laptop worked flawlessly we have reviewed similar tablets in the past here and this one comes out tops with ease of use. 

The 11.6 inch IPS screen display & 1920*1080 Resolution gave excellent picture quality allowing a high zoom option to get into detailed drawing close up. The 60-degree tilt Function allows for multiple uses to ensure comfortable hand movement.

The 8  Customisable  Shortcut keys and 5 Menu Keys are excellent allowing modification of the colorimetry, brightness, contrast, etc

Most users will notice the Battery-Free Pen which allows painting similar to using a standard pen and is compatible with the major drawing programs: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Clip Studio, Lightroom, Sketchbook Pro, Manga Studio, CorelPainter, FireAlpaca, OpenCanvas, Paint Tool SAI2, Krita etc. The tilt, drawing pressure, and calibration option allow for easy use of the pen which feels like a standard pen, and the 1920*1080 display is clear.
