ViewSonic VG1655 15.6 Inch 1080p Portable Monitor with 2 Way Powered 60W USB C, IPS, Eye Care, Dual Speakers, Built-in Stand with Magnetic Cover

Working from home, and wanting to be able to work in more than one place at home, has caused me to contend with some unique challenges. It's hard to get a lot of what I need to do done with just one screen, but unless I'm at my desk it's a bit tricky to have multiple displays.So I finally decided it was time to get one of these displays and there were a few reasons I was drawn to the ViewSonic.One, I'm a fan of their products. ViewSonic has been around ages and I've used their monitors off and on throughout the years, so I expected something with fairly good build and image quality. On these points, the display did not disappoint.The kickstand is thoughtful, allowing the monitor to be used horizontally or vertically. The overall build of the monitor feels solid, and the slim bezels are nice. Fortunately, as is standard for these, the thicker bezel is at the bottom which puts the display at a similar height to my laptop's screen. Additionally, one of the things that I preferred about this about a number of competing products is the subdued brand labeling on the front. Bright, shiny, or chrome logos are just obnoxious in my opinion (coincidentally, the ViewSonic monitors I have at my WFH station have a dark matte gray logo on a black bezel *chefs kiss*).The controls are straightforward and the interface is not too dissimilar from my other ViewSonic displays. Along with the sturdy cover, this is easy to pack and protect. I wouldn't subject it to any abuse as it is still just a fairly exposed screen, even with the cover on it. The cover seems to have traded a softer or friendlier feel for being sturdier, however it does also serve nicely as a mat to place under the monitor when in use to keep it in place and prevent the housing from scuffing up whatever table you're using it on.The scuff or scratch risk is worth calling out here. The metal kickstand feels like it'd pretty easily gouge a table or other surface, so using the cover as a base is recommended if you want to ensure that doesn't happen.You are paying a premium for the ViewSonic brand, but you also get a 3 year warranty and hopefully the reliability I'd usually expect from ViewSonic.The display includes everything you need: a collection of USB cables, microfiber cloth, and a power adapter that conveniently allows it to provide up to 60W of power to whatever device you connect to it.Picture quality is perfectly fine for the application. It matches a decent IPS laptop screen but can't keep up with the best in terms of color and doesn't offer 4K (which I've grown to find unnecessary on displays this size anyway). I wouldn't have expected anything more from it given the price, so there's no disappointment there.

I work from home, but when I showed up to an on-site meeting with my team with this, it was the center of attention. It's compact, easy to travel with, and set up. I love that it is wireless. I have recommended it to many of my coworkers, and it allows me to work easily in places other than my office. The graphics seem great to me, but I am only using it for spreadsheets, Jira stories, and email.

The ViewSonic VG1655 is a great portable monitor — lightweight, slim, and the display quality is excellent. It’s super convenient for working on the go or adding a second screen when traveling. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that it doesn’t come with a protective carry case, which would really help keep it safe in transit. Other than that, it's a solid purchase and works exactly as expected!

Purchased this monitor for my wife. She works in finance and when at off-site meetings with other associates, needs more screen area than a 16" laptop provides. This helps her immensely.Cabling up this monitor is also nice due to the multiple options available. She is also able to power the monitor through her laptop, so she need not worry about also packing the power adapter.Quality of the image is also very good. Color hue is a bit different from her laptop, but this can be expected, and is not a problem. Sharpness and resolution is also very good.I have used other Viewsonic monitors in the past. Their quality and reliability have always been very good.

Got this as a second monitor for when I travel. Easy to set up and use with my laptop. When home I even use this as a third monitor. Great resolution and easy to read.

The construction and included cover are great. This is probably not for gaming but for my use it's perfect. I'm using this as a small TV for my dining room table. Plugged in a Chromecast using an HDMI adapter. Picture is clear and sharp and brightness is good for my well lit room with abundant sunlight from windows. Not the best contrast but it's fine for watching TV. I recommend this for anyone using as a second monitor for productivity or just watching videos.It included an HDMI cable to go from the mini to full size, you'll need an adapter to plug a Chromecast or other device with a built in HDMI. Also came with a really short USB-C power cord, I used my own and it works fine.

Every 10 seconds it turns off for 2 seconds. This is very distracting. Other than that, I like it. Image quality is better than I expected, and setup was not too difficult.

I needed this for a windows laptop while traveling. Works perfectly and easy to setup. Seems very sturdy. The size is very handy - it is more linear than an iPad but I like the proportions for working.
