Setup Support Guide
Connecting to Power
The monitor can be powered in any of the following configurations:
Connecting External Devices
Your external device(s) can be connected in any of the following configurations:
Type C Connection
Connect a Type C cable from your external device to a Type C port on the monitor.
Mini HDMI Connection
Connect the mini HDMI cable from your external device to the mini HDMI port on the monitor.
Connect the USB Type A to Type C cable from your external device.
NOTE: The USB Type A to Type C connection will also supply power to the monitor from the notebook. The power output must be greater than 10W.
Power Delivery
Powering a Notebook or Mobile Phone
If the included power adapter is connected to the monitor, then the monitor can charge a connected notebook or mobile phone.
Power Delivery Output: DC 5V/9V/12V/15V/20V/Max 3A.
Power Supply Detection
This product will detect if the power supply device is an adapter, laptop or mobile phone.
If the power source is an adapter or notebook, the default brightness value will be 100.
If the power source is a mobile phone, the default brightness value will be 15.
When using a mobile phone to power the monitor, the default brightness level will be 15.
NOTE: Due to the limited power output of the mobile phone, do not adjust the brightness level higher as this may cause the display to flash or shut down.
Power Delivery - Further Information
Due to the design please note:
The first connected device will be the main input signal.
When a Type C port recognizes an external device as a power adapter, it will only distribute the power. It will NOT display the input signal.
Only when one of the Type C ports is recognized as a power adapter can the other one deliver two-way power.
If a laptop is connected first to the VA1655, then a mobile phone is connected second, the mobile phone’s battery will not be charged as neither Type C port recognizes the connection as being connected to a power adapter.
NOTE: If you want to display the mobile phone’s screen, you must unplug the Type C cable connected to the laptop.
If a mobile phone is connected first to the VA1655, then a laptop is connected second, the mobile phone’s battery will be charged as one of the Type C ports is recognized as being connected to a power adapter.
NOTE: If you want to display the laptop screen, you must unplug the Type C cable connected to the mobile phone.
Due to the VA1655’s design, do not connect two laptops or one laptop and a desktop computer at the same time. This can cause power distribution conflicts, resulting in flashing screens or the forced shutdown of the laptop(s).
NOTE:
If the laptop has a Type C port, please connect via Type C to the VA1655.
Do not connect the other Type C port of the VA1655 to another laptop or desktop computer via Type A and HDMI at the same time.
If the laptop only has HDMI and Type A ports, please connect via HDMI and Type A to Type C to the VA1655.
If the power output of the Type A port of the laptop is not greater than 10W, please use our power adapter to connect to the VA1655.
Do not connect the other Type C port of the VA1655 to another laptop or desktop computer at the same time.

Read these instructions carefully, keep them in a safe place, and follow all warnings and instructions. If the monitor is going to be retained and relocated, the same considerations as below should be applied.
General Safety Precautions
Adjustment of the monitor’s volume may increase the headphone’s output voltage and, therefore, the sound volume level.
The factors influencing the headphones output other than those specified by the manufacturer (e.g., operating system, equalizer software, firmware, driver) may increase the headphone’s output voltage and, therefore, the sound volume level.
Excessive sound volume from headphones may cause hearing damage or loss.
Avoid touching or pressing on the screen as it may cause permanent damage or transfer skin oils.
Keep the monitor out of the reach of children and pets.
Power Cord Safety
Do not compress the power cord, particularly at the plug and at the point where it connects to the monitor.
Do not use the monitor if the power cord or plug is damaged.
The power cord is designed with a grounding prong to ensure safe operation. Do not remove or damage the grounding prong.
Only use the original power cord and do not use damaged or modified cords.
Handling
Only use attachments and accessories specifically designed and approved by the manufacturer to ensure compatibility and safety.
Only use with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the monitor.
When a cart is used, use it with caution when moving the cart and monitor to avoid injury from overturning.
When moving the monitor, handle it with care to avoid damage or injury.
Clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth. For more thorough cleaning guidelines, see the “Maintenance” section in this guide.
Usage
Sit at least 45 cm (18 in.) from the monitor.
Do not place the monitor where children are likely to be present.
Educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the monitor or related equipment.
Installation
Confirm the power distribution system of the installation location. The system should provide a circuit breaker rated at 120/240V, 20A.
Leave at least 10 cm (4 in.) of open space around the monitor to ensure proper ventilation.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommended installation guidelines to ensure safe and optimal operation.
Do not place the monitor in an unstable location, on tall furniture, or overhang the edge of supporting furniture.
Do not place the monitor on cloth or other materials that may be located between the product and supporting furniture.
Place the monitor in a well-ventilated area. Do not place anything on the display that prevents heat dissipation.
Do not place heavy objects on the monitor, video cable, or power cord.
Keep the area around the monitor free from items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the monitor or furniture on which the product is placed.
Do not use the monitor near open flames, sparks, or hot surfaces.
Do not use the monitor near water or in humid conditions and avoid exposing it to rain or moisture.
Do not expose the monitor to direct sunlight or other sources of sustained heat.
Always route and manage cables connected to your monitor to prevent tripping, pulling, or grabbing.
Stability Hazard
To prevent the monitor from falling, potentially causing personal injury or death, secure the monitor to a wall or fixed object using cordage or other restraining devices.
The restraining device or cordage should be able to withstand a force of 100N and be tight without any slack.
The back of the monitor should face the wall to ensure the monitor cannot tilt under external force.
Make sure the monitor does not tilt under external force at any height or rotation angle.
Troubleshooting
If smoke appears, an abnormal noise, or a strange odor is present, immediately turn the monitor off and contact your dealer or ViewSonic. It is dangerous to continue using the monitor.
Unplug the monitor when it will be unused for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Service will be required when the monitor has been damaged in any way, such as: if the power cord or plug is damaged, if liquid is spilled onto or objects fall into the monitor, if the monitor is exposed to rain or moisture, or if the monitor does not operate normally or has been dropped.
Blue Light Filter and Eye Health
The monitor’s blue-light blocking technology helps reduce eye strain by minimizing blue-light emission, while maintaining the correct color balance, and eliminating screen flicks.
Below are some tips to help reduce the effect of eye strain:
Take a five-minute break every one to two hours.
Look away from the screen and gaze at distant objects when taking breaks.
Do eye and neck exercises.
Eye exercises: Gently move your eyes to the left, right, up, and down.
Neck exercises: Gently stretch your neck by leaning forward, turning your head side to side.

Standard Color
The monitor comes with several display industry color standards. Each color mode can be selected for specific monitor applications.
TruTone
Adjust the color temperature of the monitor, meeting the user’s favorite color needs from a range of 4500K to 9300K.
Ultra Clear
Enhance edges and decrease noise with a range of 0 to 10.
Uniformity
The Uniformity Correction function compensates any luminance and color uniformity imbalances on the screen, such as dark spots, uneven brightness, or illegible images on the screen. With the ViewSonic® uniformity correction function, gray-scale levels become more balanced, and delta E scores are improved which increases reliability and provides the highest quality viewing experience from every monitor.
ViewMode
ViewSonic’s unique ViewMode feature offers “Game”, “Movie”, “Web”, “Text”, “MAC”, and “Mono” presets. These presets are specifically designed to deliver an optimized viewing experience for different screen applications.
YUV Color Space
YUV color space is used for color image and video processing; taking into account properties of the human eye that allow for reduced bandwidth of chroma components without perceptual distortion.
1ms Mode <MPRT>
Choose whether to activate Moving Picture Response Time (MPRT); default setting is Off.
NOTE:
Make sure Input Timing detection is >100Hz to turn on 1ms Mode from default.
If 1ms Mode is set to “On”, when turning on FreeSync, MPRT will automatically turn off.
When 1ms Mode is set to “On”, the following functions will be grayed out and disabled: Brightness, Advanced DCR, Eco Mode, sRGB, Response Time, DDC/CI Brightness adjustment.
sRGB and 1ms Mode will disable each other.
The IC controls Moving Picture Response Time, so the overall Brightness will be dark.
