Be it a laptop or tablet, the TD1655 is quick to lend some extra productivity. Weighing almost 2 pounds and with a 0.6-inch thick screen, it is possible to fit easily in any backpack, briefcase, or bag without any hassle. ViewSonic announced the launch of the monitor along with a lower-end model VG1655 in early June 2020. Here’s all you need to know about the higher-end variant.
Display
ViewSonic's TD1655 allows you to extend your content from a mobile, tablet, or laptop in a 16’’ full HD touch monitor. The display is equipped with a 10-point projective capacitive touchscreen and delivers a smooth and natural experience with a streamlined navigation system. The display comes with a 3-sided bezel-less design made in a 15.6-inch size and 1080p resolution.
TD1655 helped us with working in our preferred angles by simply adjusting the attached stand which tilts up to 60 degrees. If you are a gamer, photo editor, or programmer and like your screen horizontal, the TD1655 allows you to do so by setting the display to a pivot-able display.
Specifications
ViewSonic’s TD1655 supports Windows, Android, Chrome, and macOS with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 FHD. The static ratio is 800:1 with a dynamic contrast ratio of 50M:1. The refresh rate of the monitor is 60Hz with 6-bit true colour and backlight life of 15000+ hours. The portable monitor comes with a magnetic cover and mat that is easy to put on and pull off. This avoids damage to the screen while the mat helps make it an anti-slip surface which prevents the monitor from sliding.
Performance
The 15.6" 16:9 Portable Multi-Touch IPS Monitor from ViewSonic really is a productivity game-changer owing to its portable capabilities. Featuring a compact design that measures less than an inch thick and weighs under a kilogram, this portable monitor is specially designed for on-the-go users to help enhance their productivity and efficiency while away. It offers multi-touch support so usage becomes absolutely seamless and it creates a whole bunch of brand-new possibilities for a creative worker. Moreover, it comes with an included stylus that helps to enhance its accessibility and efficiency exponentially.
Connectivity
We found TD1655 to be an exceptional device to have in our backpack because of its simple connectivity method. A USB 3.1 Type C with dual connectivity cable is all we needed to get started. It then broadcasts onto a bigger screen and charges up to 60W over a cable while powering from an external power bank or outlet over the other side of the USB Type C cable. We were also able to power it through our phone cable for a little over 2 hours.
Verdict
ViewSonic’s TD1655 portable 16” Full HD touch monitor is an ultimate on-the-go monitor that takes a USB 3.1 Type C with dual connectivity cable to cast, touch, and charge. It is definitely worth considering for those needing to add a secondary screen to their laptop, phone, or tablet. It is a great device for home usage, and if you are not into buying bulky monitors, then TD1655 can be handy when it comes to working from home. For a full HD touch monitor in a portable size, the TD1655 truly is a genius innovation from ViewSonic.
