When tested with the stand, it weighs approximately 961 grams. <br \/>The dimensions of the monitor without the stand are 359 x 227 x 6 mm. <br \/>When the stand is extended, the dimensions and adjustable range are approximately 359 x 227-314 x 19 mm.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/c5lr4wk.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The back casing and the sides of the stand feature ColorPro nameplates to enhance recognition and add prestige.<br \/>The warranty includes five years of free labor and parts, as well as complimentary pick-up and delivery service throughout Taiwan. <br \/>During this period, customers are eligible for a replacement service with the same model or an equivalent one. <br \/>If the monitor needs repair within the warranty period, a loaner of the same model or specifications will be provided. <br \/>Additionally, there is a one-year warranty against bright pixel defects.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/XHWqnLZ.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The control panel at the bottom of the stand has four buttons for OSD (On-Screen Display) settings. <br \/>Next to the control panel is the power switch.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Yc3iVaz.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The right side I\/O connections include two USB 3.2 Type C ports (supporting data transfer, DisplayPort video input, and 40W power delivery), a 3.5mm audio output, and a Micro HDMI 1.4 input.<br \/>The left side is equipped with 1-watt speaker openings on both ends.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/PZr3LgJ.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The stand features an integrated bracket design with three tilt options, enabling easy angle and height adjustments for more versatile screen positioning.<br \/>The stand is constructed with a dual-hinge bracket. <br \/>The first tilt option is a standing support that meets ergonomic standards, allowing the screen to tilt forward\/backward up to -60\u00ba \/ 20\u00ba.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/x5XZ9Se.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The second tilt option allows the stand to be adjusted into a triangular foldable bracket.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/FSfEbs9.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The third tilt option allows users to choose from several viewing angles.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/M8MzRbp.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By adjusting the stand, the monitor can be switched to a vertical mode. <br \/>When rotating the screen, the display orientation needs to be manually changed in the system settings.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/zqgZmIw.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The primary function of the magnetic shading hood is to prevent ambient light from interfering with the screen&#8217;s colors. <br \/>Additionally, there is a tripod mounting hole at the bottom, making it more convenient and flexible to use.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/kDfZ5nX.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The shading hood can also serve as a protective cover for the screen surface when not in use.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/MqGs0Kq.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>OSD Menu Screen Capture:<br \/>When capturing the screen with a digital camera, moir\u00e9 patterns may appear; however, the screen appears normal to the naked eye.<br \/>The Startup Menu includes options for the Main Menu, Color Mode, ViewMode, Brightness, Input, and Volume.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/yvzGm6U.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Main Menu starts with the input switching function.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/39cMF5i.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next is the Color Mode page, which offers DCI-P3, sRGB, REC709, DICOM-SIM, and User settings. <br \/>Within the DCI-P3 settings, you can adjust Brightness, Color Temperature, Gamma, Sharpness, Aspect Ratio, and Recall.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/8nRwkBb.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The ViewMode offers modes such as CAD\/CAM, Video Edit, Animation, Photographer, FPS1, FPS2, RTS, and MOBA. <br \/>These modes can be selected based on your specific environment. <br \/>Internal details can be fine-tuned as needed. <br \/>For example, the Video Editing mode has Ultra Clear, Advanced-Sharpness, and Advanced-Gamma options.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/2HF06Jr.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Setup Menu options include Language Select, Resolution Notice, Information, OSD Timeout, OSD Background, OSD Pivot, Power Indicator, Auto Power Off, Sleep, ECO Mode, Overscan, Burn-in Eraser, DDC\/CI, Rename, and All Recall.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/YH1kZFb.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>ECO mode on the VP16-OLED offers four settings\u2014Standard, Optimize, Conserve, and Energy Saving\u2014along with a status bar for quick insights into the current configuration. <br \/>Moreover, the burn-in reduction feature is especially useful.<br \/>As with other ColorPro desktop monitors, the VP16-OLED comes with a rich set of OSD options, giving users greater control over color adjustments.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/weGJ0E2.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In practical use, a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera) can be connected to the monitor via Type-C or Micro HDMI, synchronizing the viewfinder to the monitor. <br \/>For outdoor use, a power bank can supply power to the VP16-OLED.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/8cWGzu4.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With my many years of experience shooting with DSLR cameras, one of the most inconvenient aspects of outdoor shooting is relying on the small LCD screen to preview shots. <br \/>This makes it difficult to accurately evaluate brightness, color, and focus in real-time, often forcing me to wait until I return to my computer to check the content thoroughly. <br \/>If the results are unsatisfactory, I may need to reshoot the scene, which is time-consuming.<\/p>\n<p>However, using the VP16-OLED, you can immediately check the shooting results on-site, which is incredibly convenient and saves a lot of time. <br \/>Additionally, you can use the shading hood whenever needed to reduce the interference of external light.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/MCljb4k.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When the shading hood is removed, you can clearly see that there is much more ambient light present on top of the screen compared to the previous photo.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/Kfjjwdt.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When connecting to a laptop or phone via USB Type-C, the device must output at least 10W. <br \/>If it doesn\u2019t, you\u2019ll need a power adapter for the VP16-OLED. <br \/>The business laptop shown in this photo can power the VP16-OLED, allowing the monitor to reach its maximum brightness of 100.<br \/>Using dual screens may slightly increase battery consumption, but under normal brightness settings, it\u2019s not very power-intensive. <br \/>With ECO mode technology, the VP16-OLED&#8217;s power consumption drops to just 6W.<br \/>When editing photos on the go, the VP16-OLED can be used in portrait mode, making it more convenient than a laptop screen and allowing for complete display of the photos. <br \/>This is especially helpful in the afternoon when indoor lighting is mainly influenced by external sunlight.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/OKDhQeh.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In the same scene, when the sun goes down and the light source changes to a dim indoor yellow light bulb, the VP16-OLED, which is Pantone Validated and has a Delta E&lt; 2, ensures reliable color accuracy.<br \/>Additionally, the VP16-OLED is perfectly compatible with Mac devices, offering USB-C for audio and video data transfer, fast charging, and support for the 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, similar to the Apple Retina display.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/UxX25QW.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Connecting the VP16-OLED to a phone is a very convenient option, letting you mirror phone content to a larger screen. <br \/>With common screen mirroring functions, you can easily view photos, videos, and web pages.<br \/>In practical use, I found that if you use a phone that supports DeX (Desktop eXperience) functionality, the VP16-OLED becomes even more convenient. <br \/>Its screen can transform into a tablet or PC interface, while the connected phone screen functions as a touchpad, providing users with a richer operational experience.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/YLif8H3.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When using the phone as the power source, the default brightness is set to 15%. The OLED panel\u2019s high brightness makes this sufficient for indoor use. <br \/>However, the phone&#8217;s smaller battery capacity means it will drain faster than when connected to a laptop.<br \/>If you use a power adapter, the Type-C interface on the monitor can simultaneously charge your laptop or phone.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/XbAk2bv.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, compared to the IPS(In-Plane Switching) panel laptop on hand, the OLED panel has become the preferred choice for high-end displays in recent years, boasting deeper contrast, higher brightness, a wider color range, and faster response times.<br \/>A few years ago, a friend mentioned getting a high-end OLED TV and being very impressed with its black-level performance.<br \/>I have a similar feeling after using the VP16-OLED. <br \/>For instance, this Spider-Man photo was taken at the entrance of a cinema and the VP16-OLED performs better than the laptop in terms of color accuracy and black-level performance.<br \/>While the photos of the screen taken with a camera have been captured to be as close as possible to what the naked eye sees, slight differences in appearance may occur on each of your monitors.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/nLaDquQ.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Adjusting both screens to similar brightness levels and using the Windows taskbar as a standard for comparison, the lantern festival photo appears slightly brighter on the OLED screen. <br \/>If the laptop screen is set to its highest brightness level, the VP16-OLED only needs to be set to 55-60% brightness to match the laptop&#8217;s brightness level.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/uR8q8aS.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>OLED, an organic light-emitting diode display technology, features pixels with individual dimming areas. <br \/>This allows the area where images are displayed to illuminate while other areas remain completely black, eliminating blurry light effects.<br \/>In this photo taken at a past lantern festival, you can clearly see the higher saturation of the OLED panel. <br \/>The absence of any halo effect makes the picture appear more outstanding.<br \/>When viewed in person, the naked eye can easily perceive these differences, especially the deeper black levels within the photo.<br \/><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/L4Q8L4o.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To summarize the features of the ColorPro VP16-OLED: it uses an OLED panel that supports 1.07 billion colors. <br \/>It has an integrated stand design, provides rich OSD options, is pre-calibrated at the factory, and is Pantone Validated with Delta E &lt; 2 for accurate colors. <br \/>It supports 100% DCI-P3 and sRGB wide color gamut, delivering precise and professional color levels, pure black colors, and a halo-free visual experience. <br \/>The magnetic shading hood, which also serves as a protective cover, is highly practical.<br \/>In terms of connectivity, the device has a built-in Micro HDMI and two Type-C interfaces, with the Type-C supporting 40W reverse charging. <br \/>Additionally, it offers a comprehensive 5-year warranty service.<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/VmmjGtO.jpeg\" \/><br \/>I remember passing by the TV display section in large stores multiple times, where a whole row of large OLED TV screens always left a deep impression with their stunning image quality.<br \/>During the period of using the VP16-OLED portable monitor, I experienced its meticulous design and versatile applications. <br \/>Designed specifically for color accuracy, the ColorPro VP16-OLED not only provides excellent color performance but also offers great flexibility and convenience for outdoor shooting and creation, along with good visual comfort.<br \/>For image creators who frequently work outdoors and need a high-standard color-accurate monitor that is both multifunctional and portable, the ViewSonic VP16-OLED is one of the few options on the market that meets all these criteria and is definitely worth considering.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This video offers an in-depth lo<a class=\"moretag\" href=\"https:\/\/www.twcarpc.com\/wordpress\/?p=2891\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2854,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_bbp_topic_count":0,"_bbp_reply_count":0,"_bbp_total_topic_count":0,"_bbp_total_reply_count":0,"_bbp_voice_count":0,"_bbp_anonymous_reply_count":0,"_bbp_topic_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_reply_count_hidden":0,"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":0},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twcarpc.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2891"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twcarpc.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twcarpc.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twcarpc.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twcarpc.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2891"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.twcarpc.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2891\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2892,"href":"https:\/\/www.twcarpc.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2891\/revisions\/2892"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twcarpc.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2854"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.twcarpc.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twcarpc.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.twcarpc.com\/wordpress\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
