It took me some trial and error with different brands, both well known and third party but this one is it. Overall this monitor fits in everything that I was looking for in a portable monitor.
Now to begin with my specific use case; I am a professional photographer, and at the moment a Computer Science student. I wanted a portable monitor that fits in all of my bags along with my laptop, allows me to do some photo and video editing (16" MacBook Pro), would connect to my cell phone via USB-C (iPhone 15 Pro), would allow portrait mode for coding projects, and would plug into Nintendo Switch without needing a dock. This is the one that delivered! So thank you so much ViewSonic for delivering!
Some caveats to mention, One Cable USB-C works prefect with the MacBook Pro, even in 4K resolution.
To use with Nintendo Switch or iPhone, the other USB-C port has to be connected to a power source. Wall outlet or PowerBank. (In my scenario I used and Anker PowerBank and it works!)
This is will all portable monitors though, not just this one. So here's why I settled with this one.
Pros:
+ Super lightweight! This screen is approximately 1.6lbs and will add nothing in weight for carrying.
+ Very Portable! 16" is a great size and it does a good job at being close to matching the MacBook Pro.
+ 16" OLED 4K screen (Its great to watch movies but don't expect it to replace a 65" 4K OLED TV).
+ 170 Degrees Visual from different angles (Consistent image quality from different angles).
+ 100% DCI-P3 coverage/most of Adobe RGB (which is great for color accuracy, photo and video editing)
+ Built in Portrait mode which is great for coding or editing (might need to level the stand)
+ Has a built in speaker (No, they are not strong but at least its provided, better than nothing)
+ 3.5mm Jack (plugs into a portable speakers with 3.5mm Jack or headphones)
+ Provides Power to devices (iPhone 15/Switch) that are connected via Wall Outlet or PowerBank.
Cons:
- 60hz only (would have been even better at 120hz to match my Mac, and maybe the Switch 2?)
Probably asking for too much but would hav been the icing on the cake.
- Expensive ~$500 (but to be honest it's not really a con, you get what you pay for and for it to do everything that I need without extra dongles. I'm perfectly fine with paying the price tag)
Overall though I can't complain about this purchase; just being a little nitpicky. If ViewSonic decides to keep producing these and release a version with 120hz, I would buy it in a heartbeat but as of now it's perfect! Check out the attached photos for my use cases.
-----|
The only other well know brand I tried was the ASUS ZenScreen MB16QHG. Almost kept it too but I did not want to carry around with me additional dongles for my Switch:
Pros:
+ 2K
+ 120hz
+ Built in Stand (Portrait mode too)
+ 3.5mm Jack
+ 100% DCI-P3
+ Full HDMI Cable (Not Mini)
+ Great Portrait Mode Stand
+ Auto-Rotate (Windows Only)
+ Very Lightweight
Cons:
- It doest NOT connect the Nintendo Switch without a dock, then even with a dock connected the 16:10 aspect ratio doesn't not convert to 16:9 for gaming. It left the gameplay looking distorted and for me personally I wasn't a fan.
- No built in speakers
- Expensive while lacking features ~$400
-----|
The only third party brand I tried was the UPERFECT 18" Gaming Monitor (Almost perfect). Would have kept it if I was just for gaming. But it doesn't fit all my bags, and having to constantly recalibrate it would have sucked.
Pros:
+ 2K
+ 144hz
+ Connects to Nintendo Switch via USB-C without a dock
+ FreeSync
+ Both 16:9/16:10
+ 100% DCI-P3
+ Vesa Mount
+ Affordable ~$257
Cons:
- 18" Screen not very portable.
- Passible Portrait mode needs Vesa Mount Stand to be more stable.
- Brightness settings reset when disconnected from power.

1. The Apple connection was easy - NOTE: you should plug the ViewSonic into a power source, then connect the ViewSonic to the MacBook Pro (M1). That way, the ViewSonic provides the sole power (initially to the ViewSonic and then through the USB-C PD cable to the MBP-M1 (make SURE you get a cable rated for 65W or above (I use a 100W cable and things work as expected)). Connecting this way is important as if frees up the second USB-C port on the MBP-1A for anything else you want to connect (I have a USB-C hub and four hard drives connected (this all at the same time as the ViewSonic is connected)).
2. The ASUS took a bit more finagling - however, if you set the resolution correctly for the Mouse Screen, you can actually have all three screen available (ViewSonic, ASUS laptop screen and Mouse screen) at the same time. I have all my ViewSonic's positioned "above" my laptop screens.
3. It is important to understand the screens are set to 50% on all settings when right out of the box. This initially makes the screen look washed out. HOWEVER - by simply access the built-in ViewSonic adjustment menu (available by pushing the button on the back of the screen), you can increase both the brightness and contrast to mimic your portable screen (if necessary).
These two screens are awesome on the road - they are thin but sturdy and pack/travel well, easy to set up, and the touch screen works as advertised with the appropriate drivers downloaded and installed.
I've even used them with an iPad Pro - and as with all things connected to an Apple computer - they simply work!
Can you tell I really enjoy the versatility these monitor/screen give me?

No funciona con iOS de iphone, con android sí, es algo que ya me esperaba... Al convertirse en táctil al conectarlo a una pc debes instalar ciertos drivers y conectar otro cable, digo esto porque yo me asusté pensando que compré la versión no touch y resulta que solo era necesario eso. Al conectar esos cables extra se convierte ahora sí en algo más estorboso pero tampoco nada exagerado. Tiene un stylus o lapiz bastante rústico que bien podría mejorarse pero como yo no planeaba dibujar ni nada que demandase algo más allá de navegar por el sistema operativo me resulta suficiente.
Al conectar este monitor como monitor secundario en una pc, el touch no sirve, necesita ser el monitor principal y eso a veces causa pequeños problemitas, aunque nada de real cuidado.
Tiene una patita trasera que sirve bastante bien, permite varias posiciones de acomodo, no parece ser muy resistente y a veces me da la impresión que no durará mucho, los ángulos que se logra con dicha patita no son tampoco muy variados pero son suficientes para lo que se requiera.
Los colores del monitor, creo que es su lado más débil... son colores muy opacos, saturando todo y moviéndole mucho a los parámetros se logra algo decente, pero si es un punto malo, si lo buscas para algo de edición no creo que sea lo mejor.
El menú o sistema operativo interno del monitor es bastante común, se maneja bien, solo hay que agarrarle el modo.
Es un buen monitor secundario, es muy portátil, es una excelente compra, lo recomiendo bastante!
Com um monitor portátil, agora posso levar meu setup para qualquer lugar.
Imagem ótima,
Cependant, il faut savoir que le cable USB-C vers iPhone ne fonctionne pas telle que dans la publicité. Il vous faut à la fois un hub et une alimentation secteur de l'écran et ca c'est dommage si on comptait utiliser son téléphone+Cable+écran. Pas de bol !
