Product Overview
The ViewSonic VG1457 is a dual-display portable monitor that distinguishes itself from typical competitors by stacking two panels rather than placing them side-by-side. This design allows for a compact form factor, weighing 2.6 pounds, which is roughly double that of a single-panel portable monitor but maintains a similar footprint when folded.
Design and Features
Each of the VG1457's panels measures 14 inches and features a 1200p resolution. The panels are connected by two 360-degree hinges, enabling various orientations, including stacked landscape or side-by-side portrait modes. An adjustable kickstand supports the panels and incorporates dual 2-watt speakers and three USB-C ports, one of which is dedicated to power with 65-watt passthrough.
Performance and Limitations
Despite its innovative design and competitive sub-$350 price, the VG1457 has notable drawbacks. Its color performance and brightness levels are below average, which may impact visual quality. Additionally, the monitor lacks HDMI connectivity, relying solely on USB-C for display input.
