Review: So far, so very good - Highlights: * crisp image; * accurate touch; * 16:10 aspect ratio; * touch functionality worked with minimal fuss on MacOS I use this monitor in a music production home studio, where I mounted it on VESA-compatible arm*, hovering over a MIDI controller. I connect it to a Mac Studio and use touch to control Logic Pro, plug-ins and AxeEdit III. It works really well for this application. I am able to adjust plug-in and AxeFX parameters with simply a touch and without much fuss. And the vTouch suite seems sufficiently powerful for me to add a couple of quality of life improvements (e.g. multi-finger gestures for VESA Mounting: because this is a portable monitor, it doesn't have VESA mounting facilities. The portable cover is cool, and I didn't want to lose this functionality, so I just used some adhesive metal plates and mounted neodymium magnets the VESA receiver bracket. Mags are strong and monitor is light enough to make this a sufficiently sturdy solution.
Review: Perfect for my needs - I love this portable touch screen! I recently had an issue with my hand and was unable to use my laptop keyboard and a mouse for 6 weeks. There was no way I could stay off my computer for that long and it was suggested I get a touchscreen. I am particularly impressed by the display quality; the images are consistently crystal clear and it was very compatible with my Asus laptop. Set up was super simple with the included USB-C connector. I use my latops virtual keyboard to display on the ViewSonic screen and type using the included sylus. Overal very happy with this product.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Used for video games - N. Switch (primarily)
*by E***C on May 23, 2021*

Note: I have NOT tried out the touch-screen functionality of the unit, nor have I tried it with multiple devices. So this review is based solely on my one intended use - video games. My life is very busy so I do not have the hours of time to invest in video games as I did when I was a younger man. My favorite console is the N. Switch, which I usually play in the evenings while watching TV in the background. As I’ve reached middle-age, my eyes aren’t what they used to be and I do wish the Switch’s screen was bigger and this is the solution I decided upon. There were cheaper alternatives from Chinese-branded companies but I wanted to stick with a brand I know and trusted (even though it was probably made there as well). The build quality is very good and the unit is solid. The menu has many visual adjustment options so I’m quite certain you’ll be able to optimize the view for your desired needs. It has built-in stereo speakers in the rear but I use always headphones. Btw, the headphone amplifier is much more powerful than the Switch’s. Note: This unit will NOT function as a touch-screen for the Switch but it is supposed to do so for PC. I’ve not tried it for an iPhone but there are adapters that will allow you to output the video of the iPhone/iPad to an external device so that might prove an interesting possibility! The device can be rotated 90* for a Portrait setup vs Landscape but again, that would be controlled by your PC, meaning, if I rotate the unit, it will not auto-rotate the source material like a smart phone will. It includes a magnetically-attached protective cover and the built-in “kickstand” is solid, very adjustable and highly functional. This is one of those purchases that made me say, “Oh man! I should have done this long ago!” It requires power. It does not have an internal battery. A USB-C adapter is included. It can also be powered by the video source (PC, phone, etc.) but that source must be able to provide a certain amount of watts, otherwise, the Display will lower the Brightness level to minimum. Negatives? The only two I can think of is that the menu structure, while well laid out, will take you a little time to get used to, and around the area of the menu button (bottom-right behind the screen) may cause an uneven backlighting effect due to the pressure involved in frequently accessing the menu - volume control for instance. However, 99% of the time, we never focus on an extreme corner of a display so even if it does develop an uneven lighting there, it will prove mostly unimportant in normal use. In short, if you think this might prove useful/helpful to you, I do not believe you’ll be disappointed and you may be VERY happy with this purchase as I am!
