ViewSonic TD1655 15.6 Inch 1080p Portable Monitor with IPS Touchscreen, 2 Way Powered 60W USB C, Eye Care, Dual Speakers, Built-in Stand with Magnetic Cover

This monitor is awesome. It has wonderful color, The size is perfect. The connectivity and USB work wonderfully. The item is very easy to use.

Very well designed and easy setup. The included cover helps to protect the screen. If you are using a Mac and want better resolution, then opt for a 4k monitor. But overall very happy with this external monitor.

Note: I have NOT tried out the touch-screen functionality of the unit, nor have I tried it with multiple devices. So this review is based solely on my one intended use - video games.My life is very busy so I do not have the hours of time to invest in video games as I did when I was a younger man. My favorite console is the N. Switch, which I usually play in the evenings while watching TV in the background. As I’ve reached middle-age, my eyes aren’t what they used to be and I do wish the Switch’s screen was bigger and this is the solution I decided upon. There were cheaper alternatives from Chinese-branded companies but I wanted to stick with a brand I know and trusted (even though it was probably made there as well).The build quality is very good and the unit is solid. The menu has many visual adjustment options so I’m quite certain you’ll be able to optimize the view for your desired needs. It has built-in stereo speakers in the rear but I use always headphones. Btw, the headphone amplifier is much more powerful than the Switch’s.Note: This unit will NOT function as a touch-screen for the Switch but it is supposed to do so for PC. I’ve not tried it for an iPhone but there are adapters that will allow you to output the video of the iPhone/iPad to an external device so that might prove an interesting possibility! The device can be rotated 90* for a Portrait setup vs Landscape but again, that would be controlled by your PC, meaning, if I rotate the unit, it will not auto-rotate the source material like a smart phone will.It includes a magnetically-attached protective cover and the built-in “kickstand” is solid, very adjustable and highly functional.This is one of those purchases that made me say, “Oh man! I should have done this long ago!”It requires power. It does not have an internal battery. A USB-C adapter is included. It can also be powered by the video source (PC, phone, etc.) but that source must be able to provide a certain amount of watts, otherwise, the Display will lower the Brightness level to minimum.Negatives? The only two I can think of is that the menu structure, while well laid out, will take you a little time to get used to, and around the area of the menu button (bottom-right behind the screen) may cause an uneven backlighting effect due to the pressure involved in frequently accessing the menu - volume control for instance. However, 99% of the time, we never focus on an extreme corner of a display so even if it does develop an uneven lighting there, it will prove mostly unimportant in normal use.In short, if you think this might prove useful/helpful to you, I do not believe you’ll be disappointed and you may be VERY happy with this purchase as I am!

I paired this touch-screen 1440 monitor with an M4 MacMini, and it's been amazing. The speakers on this are hot garbage, but they make the Mac Mini speaker sound great.

This portable monitor feels like a premium product, much more so than others I have seen. The screen quality surpasses that of my 1-year-old Surface Laptop, and it seems very efficient—the Surface battery charges quickly when plugged in. The built-in stand and detachable cover are great features. The touch screen and sound quality are more than adequate.Two complaints:The brightness defaults to 15%, which is lower than I would like, and it is painfully slow to increase it.The charger (which I almost never use since I just charge from my laptop or docking station) is absurdly large and clunky.Overall, I am very happy with this product.

Highlights:* crisp image;* accurate touch;* 16:10 aspect ratio;* touch functionality worked with minimal fuss on MacOSI use this monitor in a music production home studio, where I mounted it on VESA-compatible arm*, hovering over a MIDI controller. I connect it to a Mac Studio and use touch to control Logic Pro, plug-ins and AxeEdit III.It works really well for this application. I am able to adjust plug-in and AxeFX parameters with simply a touch and without much fuss. And the vTouch suite seems sufficiently powerful for me to add a couple of quality of life improvements (e.g. multi-finger gestures forVESA Mounting: because this is a portable monitor, it doesn't have VESA mounting facilities. The portable cover is cool, and I didn't want to lose this functionality, so I just used some adhesive metal plates and mounted neodymium magnets the VESA receiver bracket. Mags are strong and monitor is light enough to make this a sufficiently sturdy solution.

I purchased this monitor in mid-December 2021 anticipating a need I would have in January 2022. It seemed to be a great little monitor that worked well when I plugged it in. The touch screen feature was fantastic and the ease of connection to my laptop was a bonus. Because my anticipated need changed I ended up only using the monitor only about 5 times between January 2022 and April 2024. Suddenly it would not connect. It constantly said "no signal" and would immediately disconnect from my laptop. It was unusable. I purchased new cables hoping that would fix the problem and had no luck. So, after only 2 years...but really only about 5 or 6 uses (which makes the monitor essentially new) it no longer works. I contacted the seller to ask for some help and I received a cut-n-paste canned answer that the return window of 30 days closed. Basically I was told "not our problem, go away". I did not exactly expect a full refund or replacement, but they didn’t even offer a link to the owners manual, a 20% discount if I purchased another one, or do anything helpful. This is $300 completely wasted. Even if I used the monitor daily it should last longer than 2 years!

Stated it came with hdmi cord. It didn’t . …
