ViewSonic VX1655 review

The ViewSonic VX1655 is a low-cost all-rounder. ViewSonic lists a 15.6-inch 1920 x 1080 panel at 60Hz, two USB-C ports with two-way 60W power, a mini HDMI input, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and dual speakers. Two-way power means a laptop can run the monitor, or the monitor can pass power to a laptop or phone when you plug it into a USB-C power bank or wall adapter. The electronics sit in the kickstand, which keeps the panel thin, and the stand has a tripod mount to raise the screen. A protective cover comes with it, and ViewSonic backs it with a 3-year limited warranty, the longest here. The product page lists 1.7 lb in one place and 1.5 pounds in another, so expect roughly that range. At $159.99, it is one of the cheapest picks with speakers and HDMI. We compared documented features and published prices.
