Portable Productivity Monitor

The ViewSonic VA1655 is a 15.6 inch portable monitor built for business travellers and remote workers who need a second screen. It connects via USB-C or mini HDMI to laptops and tablets, delivering Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution on an IPS panel with 170 degree viewing angles.

Sustained Work Sessions

The anti-glare IPS panel maintains consistent colour and brightness at 250 cd/m2 during long work periods, while the 60 Hz refresh rate and 7 ms response time keep everyday office motion smooth. Two USB-C ports allow the monitor to draw power from a laptop or supply power back to the host device through a power bank, supporting uninterrupted use away from wall outlets.

Single-Cable USB-C Video && Power

The decisive specification is the USB-C port that carries both video and two-way power, removing the need for a separate power brick. Buyers who require a dedicated high-refresh gaming panel or multiple simultaneous video inputs should consider other models.

Questions about this item

How much power does the VA1655 draw from a laptop USB-C port during all-day use?

The monitor accepts two-way USB-C power, so a laptop can run it directly or the monitor can charge the laptop from a USB-C power bank or AC adapter.

Which video cables or adapters must I already have to connect the VA1655?

You need a mini HDMI cable or a USB-C cable that carries DisplayPort Alt Mode; neither cable is listed as included.

Will the VA1655 run at 60 Hz over mini HDMI 1.4 from an older laptop?

Yes, mini HDMI 1.4 supports 50–75 Hz vertical refresh, so a 60 Hz signal works without extra setup.
