Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2024
So I finally decided it was time to get one of these displays and there were a few reasons I was drawn to the ViewSonic.
One, I'm a fan of their products. ViewSonic has been around ages and I've used their monitors off and on throughout the years, so I expected something with fairly good build and image quality. On these points, the display did not disappoint.
The kickstand is thoughtful, allowing the monitor to be used horizontally or vertically. The overall build of the monitor feels solid, and the slim bezels are nice. Fortunately, as is standard for these, the thicker bezel is at the bottom which puts the display at a similar height to my laptop's screen. Additionally, one of the things that I preferred about this about a number of competing products is the subdued brand labeling on the front. Bright, shiny, or chrome logos are just obnoxious in my opinion (coincidentally, the ViewSonic monitors I have at my WFH station have a dark matte gray logo on a black bezel *chefs kiss*).
The controls are straightforward and the interface is not too dissimilar from my other ViewSonic displays. Along with the sturdy cover, this is easy to pack and protect. I wouldn't subject it to any abuse as it is still just a fairly exposed screen, even with the cover on it. The cover seems to have traded a softer or friendlier feel for being sturdier, however it does also serve nicely as a mat to place under the monitor when in use to keep it in place and prevent the housing from scuffing up whatever table you're using it on.
The scuff or scratch risk is worth calling out here. The metal kickstand feels like it'd pretty easily gouge a table or other surface, so using the cover as a base is recommended if you want to ensure that doesn't happen.
You are paying a premium for the ViewSonic brand, but you also get a 3 year warranty and hopefully the reliability I'd usually expect from ViewSonic.
The display includes everything you need: a collection of USB cables, microfiber cloth, and a power adapter that conveniently allows it to provide up to 60W of power to whatever device you connect to it.
Picture quality is perfectly fine for the application. It matches a decent IPS laptop screen but can't keep up with the best in terms of color and doesn't offer 4K (which I've grown to find unnecessary on displays this size anyway). I wouldn't have expected anything more from it given the price, so there's no disappointment there.
There is a magnetically attached cover that works to not only protect the screen but can also be used under the monitor to keep it still.
There are several power and signal cables included. I used the 1) Mini-HDMI to HDMI 2) USB for power. Keep in mind you need one for power and one for the signal.
My two issues are 1) resolution 2) brightness. It's typical HD 1080 resolution is fine for the price and for 90% of people using it. Fine for work, Excel, etc. However, at 50 years old, I find resolution above 1080 to be extremely helpful. I'm also doing some graphical work and higher resolution helps. Also, the screen is not too bright at 250 nits and the contrast ration is 800:1.
Overall, for $199, it's a fantastic monitor, but if you can handle $350, there are other options that provide more contract, resolution and brightness.
I have cheaper portable monitors that just need one connection to laptop for both signal and power.

muy buena imagen y el stand para mantenerse en pie muy pero muy bueno a años luz de los asus
Qualité HD tout à fait acceptable.
Raccord via USB-C très simple et sans trop de fils partout (si la connexion nécessaire est USB-C à USB-C, type macbook nouvelle génération).
