Viewsonic Monitor Power Switch On

The Viewsonic TD1655 worked perfectly out-of-the-box including the touch screen. Didn't even need calibration adjustments. In five minutes I was up-and-running, INCLUDING extended display (it is the upper-left in the photo). If you don't need a touchscreen, Viewsonic has models at lower price points. It fits in my backpack briefcase and my messenger bag and has a protective cover that snaps on magnetically. I had borrowed, tried or bought-and returned four portable monitors, none of which worked without some effort. One didn't work at all despite an hour of trying everything I could think of (and it wasn't cheap). Another required a separate power source - for a portable monitor? Seriously, they expect me to carry another power supply on the road? From those experiences I looked at the specs of a couple dozen more, and then decided to try the Viewsonic TD1655. It is head-and-shoulders above all the others, even ones that were more expensive. The only possible exception was the Lenovo M14. I have used Thinkpads exclusively for years, currently have four between my wife and myself (all Yogas). I really wanted it to be the one, but the smaller screen was a deal breaker. After receiving the Viewsonic I discovered, besides the larger screen, that it had better features and more adjustments. Search no more and don't waffle about a few dollars. This is the only portable monitor to buy.

Glad to have this coverage for my Viewsonic ProColor monitor.

5 stars! Stable and very easy to adjust level with slider on.

Switch is well built with no need for power.

Great monitor, I have it setup with my iMac 5K as my proofing monitor. A couple of things to be aware of: 1. When you rotate to portrait mode you must switch first in the MacOS and then rotate and when going back to landscape mode you must change it first in MacOS. I thought the monitor automatically did this. 2. To rotate to portrait mode using the included stand, you have to tilt the monitor out and then rotate otherwise you will hit the corner. Its a little nerve racking. 3. I bought the ergotron LX monitor arm, make sure to get the tall pole otherwise if you only need the main arm and not the extension arm you will need to tilt it out the same way with the built in monitor stand. 4. The front power switch is just like a sleep mode, the iMac will think the monitor is still on and display things on it. If you use the power switch under the monitor by the power plug, the iMac will see it as no monitor attached. I am so glad I got this monitor. You can see a big difference between this and the iMac 5K Retina.

Bought this model to color match with my 10 year old ViewSonic monitor. Looks beautiful and matches perfectly!

Needed a larger screen for my home setup and decided to go with this monitor. It's a newer model from ViewSonic and I like that it has a built in docking station so I don't have to think about buying one separately. I also like the ergonomics, which made it easier to get it setup.

Hard to beat a good ViewSonic monitor. This might be the best value at 1080P 165hz! If it's anything like my past VS monitors, it'll last you 10+ years!

Been using ViewSonic for years and never been let down. Always brilliant displays and durable/trustworthy. This monitor is no different - true to colors and excellent resolution.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This monitor replaced an older consumer grade ViewSonic monitor. I could not believe how much better my photos look on this monitor.
