ViewSonic VX1655-4K-OLED 15.6 Inch 4K UHD Portable OLED Monitor with 2 Way Powered 60W USB C, Mini HDMI, Dual Speakers, and Built-in Stand with Magnetic Cover

This is actually my first time writing a review on Amazon. I was so excited to finally have what I was looking for! So I hope to help out anyone thats struggling. Portable monitors seems to be a growing trend so not much precise information online. It took me some trial and error with different brands, both well known and third party but this one is it. Overall this monitor fits in everything that I was looking for in a portable monitor. Now to begin with my specific use case; I am a professional photographer, and at the moment a Computer Science student. I wanted a portable monitor that fits in all of my bags along with my laptop, allows me to do some photo and video editing (16" MacBook Pro), would connect to my cell phone via USB-C (iPhone 15 Pro), would allow portrait mode for coding projects, and would plug into Nintendo Switch without needing a dock. This is the one that delivered! So thank you so much ViewSonic for delivering! Some caveats to mention, One Cable USB-C works prefect with the MacBook Pro, even in 4K resolution. To use with Nintendo Switch or iPhone, the other USB-C port has to be connected to a power source. Wall outlet or PowerBank. (In my scenario I used and Anker PowerBank and it works!) This is will all portable monitors though, not just this one. So here's why I settled with this one. Pros: + Super lightweight! This screen is approximately 1.6lbs and will add nothing in weight for carrying. + Very Portable! 16" is a great size and it does a good job at being close to matching the MacBook Pro. + 16" OLED 4K screen (Its great to watch movies but don't expect it to replace a 65" 4K OLED TV). + 170 Degrees Visual from different angles (Consistent image quality from different angles). + 100% DCI-P3 coverage/most of Adobe RGB (which is great for color accuracy, photo and video editing) + Built in Portrait mode which is great for coding or editing (might need to level the stand) + Has a built in speaker (No, they are not strong but at least its provided, better than nothing) + 3.5mm Jack (plugs into a portable speakers with 3.5mm Jack or headphones) + Provides Power to devices (iPhone 15/Switch) that are connected via Wall Outlet or PowerBank. Cons: - 60hz only (would have been even better at 120hz to match my Mac, and maybe the Switch 2?) Probably asking for too much but would hav been the icing on the cake. - Expensive ~$500 (but to be honest it's not really a con, you get what you pay for and for it to do everything that I need without extra dongles. I'm perfectly fine with paying the price tag) Overall though I can't complain about this purchase; just being a little nitpicky. If ViewSonic decides to keep producing these and release a version with 120hz, I would buy it in a heartbeat but as of now it's perfect! Check out the attached photos for my use cases. -----| The only other well know brand I tried was the ASUS ZenScreen MB16QHG. Almost kept it too but I did not want to carry around with me additional dongles for my Switch: Pros: + 2K + 120hz + Built in Stand (Portrait mode too) + 3.5mm Jack + 100% DCI-P3 + Full HDMI Cable (Not Mini) + Great Portrait Mode Stand + Auto-Rotate (Windows Only) + Very Lightweight Cons: - It doest NOT connect the Nintendo Switch without a dock, then even with a dock connected the 16:10 aspect ratio doesn't not convert to 16:9 for gaming. It left the gameplay looking distorted and for me personally I wasn't a fan. - No built in speakers - Expensive while lacking features ~$400 -----| The only third party brand I tried was the UPERFECT 18" Gaming Monitor (Almost perfect). Would have kept it if I was just for gaming. But it doesn't fit all my bags, and having to constantly recalibrate it would have sucked. Pros: + 2K + 144hz + Connects to Nintendo Switch via USB-C without a dock + FreeSync + Both 16:9/16:10 + 100% DCI-P3 + Vesa Mount + Affordable ~$257 Cons: - 18" Screen not very portable. - Passible Portrait mode needs Vesa Mount Stand to be more stable. - Brightness settings reset when disconnected from power.

Very, very happy with this screen I got it to go with my Macbook Pro M5 and its gorgeous screen It is just AWESOME. Looks gorgeous and has excellent quality for text and movies BOTH Hooks up easily. Has a little pull out stand I use at coffee shops etc for dual screen action I really could not be happier. Just perfect as far as I am concerned. The only complaints I would have would be nit picks and not worth posting Hooks up to the Macbook Pro instantly upon connection and not even an issue occured Just set which display I wanted it to be and was ready to go After than it takes 5 seconds to connect and turn on when I use it I am very happy!

At my home office I have three Dell 27 inch 4K displays, connected to my 16" M4 Max MacBook Pro. When I'm traveling going down to a single display is quite an adjustment and definitely impedes productivity. I've tried portable add-on monitors in the past and have even traveled with a spare 27" desktop monitor, but until this 4K OLED screen from ViewSonic, I've never found something that was portable, convenient, and had good image quality. This screen is wonderful. I just need it and a USB C cable and I have dual screen productivity. It works so well that I almost bought a second one to replicate my three screen setup at home. Everything about it is perfect except these small complaints: 1) I wish the brightness could automatically match the MacBook Pro display. Setting the brightness on this screen requires a few button presses and toggles on the single button on the back of the screen. It would be great it if just automatically synced with the brightness of the laptop display. 2) The speakers are wasted space and weight. They shouldn't include speakers in a screen like this. They are pointless in 98% of use cases. 100% for me, since I'm only going to use this screen with a laptop or maybe iPad, both of which have their own speakers. 3) I wish the aspect ratio / screen shape matched the 16" MacBook Pro. When you move windows from one screen to the other, you have to waste time resizing them for the different shapes. Other than these three very small complaints, this screen is perfect. I really like it and recommend it.

I purchased this item a few months ago because as a graphic designer, I wanted to be able to work on two monitors while away from my 2 27" monitors at home. When ViewSonic launched it, I thought "These guys have heard me", and despite the steep price, I decided to give it a try. This monitor has amazing crispiness and brightness! It is even better than my MacBook Pro! The image is so crisp that it looks like the content is about to come out of the screen! It plugs into your Mac easily with the USB-C wire, and allows me to recreate almost the same experience as when I am home. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because I think that for this price, ViewSonic should have provided a custom robust case with it. This looks very fragile, and I am sure that any shock would be lethal...

Compact and very vivid portable monitor. I love it as it does not have a built in battery to go bad over time, rather it pulls power from the computer. While this does drain the laptop battery faster, it is worth the trade off in my opinion. Very Vivid 4K screen. and bright! Highly recommended as a second monitor for those on the go. It is a bit pricey compared to other brands, but having the name that is trusted and quality to match, is worth the extra price.

Light too, what's more to love?

Like: * So light, so thin, well built, nice finish. * Very colorful panel ( best in fps2 color mode for me). * Oled 4k panel, true black * Display as good color quality as viewsonic VP16-OLED. * Single cable Type-C to handle both monitor power and AV. * Integrated speakers (loud enough) + headphone jack included. * Comfortable for portable office work * Text does looks clear and white. * Overscan mode on-off * Rgb range limited/full setting toggle * Retro gaming looks fantastic, as modern gaming. * 10-bits colors when using type-C as video source under win11 * Included integrated power supply with detachable cable Dislikes ( all i said below have minimal impact on the overall quality of this monitor) * It's not used to display HDR content even if it will work. It doesn't look good when HDR on. * Limited to 60hz * 15.6" still feel a bit small, still it's ok to be used as a main monitor. * Can't use the built-in stand to display the monitor vertically (as oppose to another viewsonic oled , the vp16-oled) * Even when using office mode, It's by default too bright. At nighttime, would be nice to a color mode which have very low brightness by default * It's not a big deal but Hdmi as output renders 8-bits colors as oppose to Type-C 10-bits (under windows and problaby in general). * Can't be mount on a tripod or stand. You need VP16-OLED for that. Very happy to own it. Compared with VP16-OLED, they both display similar results , 4k movies looks the same on both, color wise can't tell difference. Office work is much better on this monitor compared with VP16. Perfect for backpack , very light you won't notice it at all.

Great monitor that I use for travelling and as a second monitor on my desktop! Vibrant colours, and nice and thin!

Insanely gorgeous OLED picture quality. I have a MSI URX-321 monitor and the picture in this little guy is every bit as good or even better. The speakers are good enough for basic tasks, anything more than browsing the internet I would strongly suggest external speakers. The screen cover is nice, be careful not to forget it in the box, it could easily be missed and tossed. Rubber nubs on the bottom of the screen and stand keep it in place very well. The control knob is intuitive unlike other manufacturers. The back stand is functional though I’m not sure how much abuse it would take. Pricy at double the price of similar IPS panels, more than double in the picture quality on this OLED example, I would strongly recommend as the best option.

Gorgeous, tack sharp monitor. As nice as the Apple monitor it replaced
