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.
For outdoor use, a power bank can supply power to the VP16-OLED.


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.
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.
If the results are unsatisfactory, I may need to reshoot the scene, which is time-consuming.

However, using the VP16-OLED, you can immediately check the shooting results on-site, which is incredibly convenient and saves a lot of time.
Additionally, you can use the shading hood whenever needed to reduce the interference of external light.


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.


When connecting to a laptop or phone via USB Type-C, the device must output at least 10W.
If it doesn’t, you’ll need a power adapter for the VP16-OLED.
The business laptop shown in this photo can power the VP16-OLED, allowing the monitor to reach its maximum brightness of 100.
Using dual screens may slightly increase battery consumption, but under normal brightness settings, it’s not very power-intensive.
With ECO mode technology, the VP16-OLED's power consumption drops to just 6W.
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.
This is especially helpful in the afternoon when indoor lighting is mainly influenced by external sunlight.


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< 2, ensures reliable color accuracy.
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.


Connecting the VP16-OLED to a phone is a very convenient option, letting you mirror phone content to a larger screen.
With common screen mirroring functions, you can easily view photos, videos, and web pages.
In practical use, I found that if you use a phone that supports DeX (Desktop eXperience) functionality, the VP16-OLED becomes even more convenient.
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.


When using the phone as the power source, the default brightness is set to 15%. The OLED panel’s high brightness makes this sufficient for indoor use.
However, the phone's smaller battery capacity means it will drain faster than when connected to a laptop.
If you use a power adapter, the Type-C interface on the monitor can simultaneously charge your laptop or phone.


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.
A few years ago, a friend mentioned getting a high-end OLED TV and being very impressed with its black-level performance.
I have a similar feeling after using the VP16-OLED.
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.
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.


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.
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's brightness level.


OLED, an organic light-emitting diode display technology, features pixels with individual dimming areas.
This allows the area where images are displayed to illuminate while other areas remain completely black, eliminating blurry light effects.
In this photo taken at a past lantern festival, you can clearly see the higher saturation of the OLED panel.
The absence of any halo effect makes the picture appear more outstanding.
When viewed in person, the naked eye can easily perceive these differences, especially the deeper black levels within the photo.


To summarize the features of the ColorPro VP16-OLED: it uses an OLED panel that supports 1.07 billion colors.
It has an integrated stand design, provides rich OSD options, is pre-calibrated at the factory, and is Pantone Validated with Delta E < 2 for accurate colors.
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.
The magnetic shading hood, which also serves as a protective cover, is highly practical.
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.
Additionally, it offers a comprehensive 5-year warranty service.


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.
During the period of using the VP16-OLED portable monitor, I experienced its meticulous design and versatile applications.
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.
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.
