RTINGS reviewed the VG1655 and calls it an acceptable portable monitor, noting it lacks many features found on typical desktop monitors and is designed for on-the-go use. In its best-portable-monitors testing RTINGS adds the practical case: if you prefer something that comes with a screen cover as well, look into the ViewSonic VG1655.

The design is sleek, professional, and minimal. It's got that brushed metallic finish on the back that not only looks premium, but also adds a little durability. And speaking of build quality, this monitor feels solid. It doesn't creek or flex in your hands, and that's something you really appreciate in a portable product you will be tossing into bags and moving around a lot.

ViewSonic's 15.6-inch VG1655 has the same limited color coverage as most other portable monitors we've tested, but it's one of the few to offer a built-in stand, a five-way mini-joystick controller, and a sophisticated onscreen display. It muscles out a win on the strength of those convenience features.

Decent actually pretty good packaging. The strong bubble wrap that surrounded with it. That's awesome. Okay, USB-C USB-C and got a rubber band. Nice. Orange one. Nice thick. Uh yeah, 6 ft. That's longer than my when wingspan. It's around 6, right? I'm like 5'10, so. Okay. It's a nice packaging. I like it. Checked it. All right, okay. Here it is.

The ViewSonic VG1655 is all about stability and flexibility. It features a sturdy, built-in kickstand that allows for a wide range of viewing angles and easily switches between landscape and portrait orientations. This makes it a great choice for tasks like coding, writing, or reviewing long documents.

The premium aluminum finish gives it a sophisticated look and feel, setting it apart from cheaper plastic alternatives. At just 1.8 lb and 0.6 in thick, it's incredibly easy to slip into a laptop bag without weighing you down. The 15.6 6 in full HD 1920x 1080p IPS panel delivers crisp clear visuals with vibrant colors. The 60 Hz refresh rate is perfectly adequate for everyday tasks.
