16-Inch Full HD IPS Portable Monitor with USB-C 60W Passthrough Charging, Mini HDMI, Built-In Stand, and Protective Case for Laptop Second Screen
The ViewSonic VA1653 is a 16-inch portable monitor that adds a second 1080p IPS display to any laptop, tablet, or gaming console through USB-C or Mini HDMI. The USB-C connection carries video, audio, and data over a single cable while passing through 60W of power to the connected laptop, eliminating the need for separate video and charging cables. At 1.5 lbs and 0.7 inches thick with a protective case and built-in stand, the VA1653 fits into a backpack or laptop bag for productive setups anywhere. A lightweight portable monitor from ViewSonic that doubles screen space for remote workers, business travelers, and mobile professionals.
The VA1653 delivers 1080p resolution on an IPS panel with anti-glare coating for sharp text and accurate color at any viewing angle, whether positioned in landscape for spreadsheets and code or portrait for documents and chat. The built-in stand supports both orientations without additional accessories, and the included protective case doubles as a stand cover during transport. ViewSonic Eye Care technology with blue light filter and flicker-free backlight reduces visual fatigue during extended work sessions in coffee shops, airport lounges, and co-working spaces where ambient lighting varies.
Where the VA1653 Fits
- Remote workers and digital nomads where a 1.5 lb second screen provides dual-monitor productivity at any location, and USB-C single-cable connectivity means setup takes seconds with no adapters or separate power
- Business travelers where the 0.7-inch profile with protective case fits into carry-on bags alongside a laptop, and the built-in stand sets up on hotel desks, airplane tray tables, and conference tables without accessories
- Console and mobile gaming where the 1080p IPS display connects to Nintendo Switch, Steam Deck, and other portable devices through USB-C or Mini HDMI for a larger screen experience away from the main display
What the VA1653 Delivers
- USB-C with 60W passthrough charging: Single-cable USB-C connection carries video, audio, and data while passing 60W of power through to the connected laptop. One cable for everything, no separate charger needed at the desk.

- 1.5 lbs with protective case: Weighs less than most tablets at 0.7 inches thick. The included protective case guards the screen during transport and the built-in stand positions the display in portrait or landscape without additional accessories.
- Mini HDMI for universal compatibility: Mini HDMI input connects to any device with HDMI output when USB-C is unavailable. Compatible with laptops, desktops, gaming consoles, and media players across Windows, macOS, and ChromeOS.
