PC Mag Review
"Where it really stands out, though, is in those few special features: its built-in, fold-out stand with a wide tilt range, the sophisticated OSD, and the mini-joystick controller for breezing through the menus. With these extras, and a reasonable price, the VG1655 earns our Editors' Choice high-five as a general-purpose mobile monitor."
IGN Review
"The ViewSonic has surprised us with the VG1655, an impressive contender that has plenty of things going for it and not many disadvantages – though considering its price, it shouldn’t. This portable monitor’s list of pros seems endless. It all starts with its form factor, which is both premium and robust, while also incredibly lightweight. It has an OSM joystick that’s a pleasure to use, a cover that doubles as a mat to keep it scratch-free from hard surfaces and sharp debris, and a speaker that’s decently loud. For its touchscreen functionality, there’s a pen included in the box, and for minimalism’s sake, it has a USB-C power that boasts two-way 60W power delivery. And, its kickstand is among the best we’ve seen."

"To best complement your laptop, a portable monitor should be small, lightweight and not too expensive. The model that best meets all those requirements is ViewSonic’s VG1655. At 15.6 inches and weighing under 2 pounds, the 1080p 60 Hz IPS display can be toted around fairly easily but still provide crisp, clear visuals. It’s also reasonably bright at 250 nits, comes in standard and touch version, packs dual speakers and has a built-in stand with a cover."
PC Mag Review
"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."
