Viewsonic Monitor Split Screen

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.

The Viewsonic VG1655 is an amazing monitor. It feels solid and the image is bright, sharp, saturated, and truly gorgeous. The screen's 16:9 aspect ratio allows multiple app windows to be displayed simultaneously while remaining readable, even with the Windows Scale display setting at 100% rather than 125%. The rear has a swing-out support that can prop up the monitor horizontally or vertically. The magnetic snap-on screen protector is actually quite rigid when mounted and should provide ample protection. The included cables should handle any connection scheme. My application is as a part of a telescope control computer that can be taken into the field. The computer is a mini-PC that normally runs off a 12Vdc adapter. The monitor can be powered from one of the computer's USB ports. With a 12V/6000mAh lithium battery, the entire package will run for about four hours. Haven't tried it yet with a 12V sealed lead acid battery, but I suspect up time to be longer. Overall, the package is a bit more cluttered than using a laptop, but the performance and flexibility are greater, IMO. Minor criticisms: 1) the included cables are all longer, thicker, and more rigid than seems necessary, but that might be an advantage for some, and 2) built-in speaker volume and quality are a bit wimpy, but they are included and still consistent with how the monitor will be used. The Viewsonic VG1655 is one of the few products I've purchased that so well exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended.

I've used a 24 Viewsonic VX2452-MH for years to edit with Pro Tools on a Mac Mini and wanted something bigger or possibly a dual monitor setup. I tried a 32 Viewsonic VX3276-4K-mhd but the internal power supply had an annoying hum and the screen just wasn't as nice as my 24. B&H's great return policy allowed me to exchange the 32 for the 27 VA2759-SMH. Although a bit smaller than the VX3276, it's a much nicer screen and almost a perfect match to my older 24 despite this being a IPS monitor and my VX2452 is a TN monitor. Very pleased with the monitor and with B&H!

I could not be more pleased with this ViewSonic product. The OLED screen produces a gorgeous image. The unit is feather light. The integrated stand is much sturdier than I anticipated. I am finding myself to be much more productive using this portable screen than using the Xybec Tri-Screen that I was previously using. It's simpler to carry; it's simpler to set up, and it has far, far better image quality. In shorter, where has this been all my life? I agree with some reviewers that the cover that comes with the monitor does not readily attach. To protect the monitor when I am carrying it, I am using instead a Ruggard ultra-thin sleeve that I ordered with the ViewSonic monitor.

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use my monitor for LIFE! Gaming, Split Screen for work, you name it i get it done on my G9 49' Monitor, this thing is epic! I will advocate this line to anyone who will listen because of how it has changed the way i live, work and play. Get one!

I love the monitor!. The picture quality is great and the option to split screen is perfect given the limit desk space (no 2nd monitor needed).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great monitor. Love the split screen features. Able to open up to 4 applications and work. No more 'alt tab' for me :) No lag on video streaming and 1080 comes out excellent.

Upgraded from a 1440p Dell Viewsonic to this. Colors are punchy yet balanced. Screen looks great and I like the matte finish. It's a 27", so even if you're a bit closer to it, the pixel density is sharp versus something bigger like a 32". I don't regret spending the extra money for this unit. For those that want to sit a ways away I might recommend a bigger size but there is not an equivalent out yet in a bigger size (only the prior generation).
