The Good, the Bad, and the ?????

I bought this to mate with my phone remote meetings, email and TEAMS. The idea was to avoid bringing my laptop. For the most part this works. My phone (S21 Ultra) requires an app restart if you change orientation. This signs you out. Mostly tho it does what you'd expect and looks very good. There is almost no documentation on how to use the features and the kickstand broke instantly. It is only held on by 3 tiny double stick tabs. Really, thats it. 2 of the 3 just came off when I opened the stand the second time. I used a little JB weld to repair it. Im here looking for more documentation on the units features but all I have found so far is marketing stuff . . . . . I got the cheaper one as I didnt want the touch screen.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been working with it for about 3 weeks now, and I have absolutely no complaints. The size and proportions are great, it's very lightweight given how substantial the construction is, and the way the magnetic cover fits and flexes is really nice. The stand built into the back casing is really great design; it's so much more stable than propping up the monitor against a folded cover like most of the monitors you see out there. I'm not sure what kind of material the cover is made of, but it's strong and very thin and lightweight, and looks and feels like it will last for a long time, unlike leather or other materials that will wear and/or tear rather easily. It works great with my 2020 13" MacBook Pro. It has all the ports and cables you will ever need for any configuration; nice to not have to deal with dongles or other connectors. The monitor profile is so thin and sleek (even with the built-in stand) that I can fit both the monitor and my laptop very securely into a 15" sleeve, and with that great cover, it's well protected. The only inconvenience was the monitor controls; the menu navigation was a little confusing, but once I got the hang of it, it was no problem. You get amazing quality and the trusted ViewSonic name for such an amazing price! I'm really glad I went with this monitor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has to be one of the best pictures I have ever seen from a monitor that was used outside. We are in the security business and need monitors for our outdoor cameras systems, this one hands down is the best.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Plug and play. Crisp, bright images and text. Light, thin well made display. The ultimate in portability. Great addition to my home office and work travel gear.

Great product: with some limitations.

I would like to preface that this is more of a first impression than a review. I have used it in my home office next to my dual 32-inch VX3276-2K-mhd's and it has been a largely enjoyable experience. I got this for working away from my home office primarily, but who's able to get out of the house these days?? Pros: Portability Weight Build quality Connectivity Included accessories Built-in speakers Built-in stand Brightness Value for the money Cons: DON'T ever change the brightness when plugged into USB-C without connected power! Color saturation No built-in battery (not a huge con and expected at this $) Short USB-C cable included Mini-HDMI makes adapting to Display Port cumbersome Slight body flex No manual included (saves some trees, so I'm OK with this one) The first thing I noticed is that the color on this monitor is a bit washed out next to my others, but I would call it entirely passable. This seems to be a thing with portable monitors and I think it's still an awesome value. Brightness is good when plugged into the power adapter, but I need to do more outside viewing with only the USB-C video connection as it reduces brightness to limit power drain. Viewing angles are good with just a bit of darkening at extreme angles. Connectivity is great with USB passthrough for power and an included HDMI to Mini-HDMI cable. The included USB-C cable with a right-angle port on one end is nice, although a bit short for use as a power cable. The really nice thing is that everything just.. works. I even plugged my Samsung s10 into it via USB and it started right up. I had re-plug it to recognize the proper resolution, but I put the blame on the phone for that. My biggest complaint is I went to change the brightness on USB only and soft-locked it. Screen went black and wouldn't come back. You can't access the menu without a signal so I had to plug it into my laptop via HDMI and USB power, change brightness, and re-connect. Huge pain! Overall very happy!
