A USB Type-C port enables quick and easy transmission of video, and audio. A second USB Type-C port also delivers two-way power: a connected laptop can power the VA1655, OR the VA1655 can power a connected laptop via a USB-C power bank or AC adapter and outlet. Measuring less than an inch thick and weighing under two pounds, the ultra-slim VA1655 perfectly fits into any bag, briefcase, or backpack so you can work wherever life takes you.
This lightweight screen is versatile and easy to use. The monitor has hi-resolution and is as big as my laptop screen. Great value! It’s been very convenient to throw in my backpack for out of state travel or cross town trips alike. I’m a fan of the case it comes with an options for cords. Please note that only has one half of the length as a stand. Works for me, but may not work for everyone.
Given its price point, it gives great value. Great visuals when watching videos with audio that is not too bad.Very lightweight and thin as well.
It's a portable monitor.True 144Hz, colour isn't bad.Good for a bedside/portable setup, it's very light.Comes with a nice sleeve.Only downside is that the frame is not reinforced so any pressure on it will cause damage.
This monitor is mostly useful for making me angry. I bought it to have an extra monitor for my work laptop while traveling, so I can be more productive. Every time I go to use it, I spend about 30 minutes unplugging and plugging back in the USB C cable, trying to get the monitor to turn on. Got a new laptop, same problem. New USB cable, same problem. Which only leaves this pile of absolute garbage monitor to blame. I 100% regret this purchase.EDIT: Just when I thought I couldn't hate this piece of crap more than I already do, I tried to use it outdoors with a maybe 5mph breeze. The stupid kickstand is only on one side of the monitor, not both, or even in the center. So, if you breathe on it, it falls over. I cannot believe how terrible this thing is.
Excellent and very clear and bright monitor. Perfect for travel and super portable because is super light and not heavy at all. Super easy to connect and a big help if you need to expand your laptop monitor. Viewsonic always delivers great quality in their products. No complaints!!
This is the second ViewSonic VA1655 I have purchased. I like the size, screen quality and the fact that is lightweight and portable. I had previously had two old VGA monitors and it has a much better screen quality. The first VA1655 was connected to my Windows computer that had a spare USB-C port making the connection easy using the supplied USB-C cable for power and video. I just connected it and it worked.This VA1655 is connected to a Raspberry PI 5 (RPI5) which does not have a USB-C connection nor any audio connections. I purchased an UpBright 5V AC/DC Adapter Compatible with ViewSonic VA1655 from Amazon power supply. When I tried to connect the monitor, I discovered the monitor has a mini-HDMI and a USB-C interface and the RPI5 had a micro-HDMI connection. I found a mico-HDMI to USB-C cable on Amazon Seadream Micro HDMI Type D Male to Mini HDMI Type C Male Connector Adapter Cable Cord. After I connected everything, the monitor did not work. After a bit of troubleshooting, I discovered unlike my first VA1655 this one was not turned on. I turned it on and the videos worked.I then tested the audio and it did not work. I then found the user manual and found that sound was turned off. There is what ViewSonic calls a joy key which took a bit to understand. The user guide is excellent. It is at https://manuals.viewsonic.com/VA1655_Full_Guide.I plan to purchase third VA1655 to have two monitors on the RPI5.
Cheap plastic crap that's not worth the 320$ at all. And the usb-C connectivity from phone to the monitor would not work. I need to have both phone-to-monitor and power cable to monitor plugged in to see anything. Screen quality is below average and overall design is ugly.
Great light and portable monitor and the price did not break my piggy bank. Bonus - it came with a monitor sleeve. Temporarily, I had to leave my home office space (with my wide 40" monitor) for an onsite 7 hour meeting. I needed a method of visually interrogating large spreadsheets and information. A 13-14" laptop screen would not suffice. I found the Viewsonic 17" (flicker free) monitor with a nice price. It is a great addition to my road warrior kit. I use the laptop screen and portable monitor to span across large spreadsheets. The set up worked great. Definitely, cut down on eye fatigue!
Works well, very light and portable, but I took a star off, bc I know one good bag stuff will probably, break it. So it’s a lot more delicate it then I’d like it to be.
irréprochable, à un prix démocratique
This worked really well as a second monitor. It comes with a case so it was easy to store without worrying about the screen getting damaged. I love how compact it was as I needed it when working remote. It fits nicely in a backpack and doesn’t take up a lot of space.It’s easy to use. Hooking it up was super quick, just a few cords. The brightness on the display was nice, I never had an issue of it being too dark. Overall this is a great monitor.
For price, it is great. Picture quality is decent and build quality good. Prefer this to a no name brand.
