Who each one is for

The AOC I1601FWUX is the one to take for buyers wanting a name-brand portable monitor at a mid-range price and travelers prioritizing thin, light builds, though it is the wrong buy for gamers wanting high refresh rate and buyers needing a built-in battery. Buy the ViewSonic TD1655 for users wanting touch input at a larger 15.6-inch size and ViewSonic loyalists wanting a matching secondary display, though it is not the pick for buyers prioritizing minimum weight over screen size and photographers wanting rear tripod-dock compatibility.

Our rating of the ViewSonic TD1655 (7.4/10): A well-rounded touchscreen portable monitor that beats most rivals on stand flexibility.
