Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the PD1161 for its sharp Full HD IPS screen, responsive 8192‑level stylus with tilt, and workflow‑boosting shortcut keys, all packed into a lightweight chassis that makes it a strong value proposition for beginners and mobile artists. However, they note the lack of an integrated stand, the less‑premium anti‑glare film, and a bulky bezel, which may deter users seeking a more polished build.
What Users Say
Everyday users love the tablet's portability, smooth pen feel, and handy shortcut keys, often highlighting the natural drawing experience and ease of transport. Common complaints revolve around the missing stand, occasional calibration needs, and the perception that the anti‑glare film feels cheaper than glass surfaces.
Common Complaints
Missing stand, anti‑glare film feeling less premium than glass, thick bezel adding bulk, limited 72% NTSC color gamut, and unclear tilt specification documentation.
What People Are Saying
“Excellent picture quality... high zoom option for detailed drawing”
“crisp and bright FHD display”
How It Compares
vs. Huion Kamvas 12
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose Huion if color accuracy and an included stand are top priorities; otherwise GAOMON offers better tilt and shortcut key value.
vs. XP-Pen Artist 12
Advantages
Disadvantages
XP‑Pen is a close alternative with comparable performance; pick GAOMON for slightly lighter weight and more shortcut keys.
vs. Wacom One
Advantages
Disadvantages
Wacom One suits users who prioritize pen tracking over pressure depth and tilt; GAOMON is better for those needing higher pressure levels, tilt, and shortcut keys.
