Source: viewsonic.com (verified 2026-07-10) · corroborated by amazon.com. ViewSonic's official US product page (viewsonic.com) provided the full specification table confirming: 16" viewable IPS panel, WQXGA 2560x1600 resolution, 60Hz refresh, Projective Capacitive 10-Point Touch, dual USB Type-C ports rated 65W x2 with 2-way power ("2 way powered 65W USB C charging"), dual 2W speakers, and a Net Without Stand weight of 1.8 lb (0.8 kg). The Amazon US retailer listing corroborated the identical 16" WQXGA 2560x1600 IPS 60Hz touchscreen and two-way 65W USB-C, and explicitly titled the product "65W USB-C, mini HDMI" (with buyer reviews confirming "The HDMI works" and "it takes a mini HDMI"), which is why ports include 1x Mini-HDMI alongside the 2x USB-C. Price is the ViewSonic-page-quoted $299 Amazon street price; Amazon showed "No featured offers available" so no live price and no manufacturer MSRP were recoverable, and no explicit release date (only a Feb 2025 PC Mag/Tom's Hardware award datestamp) was found, so releaseDate and the release spec are null.
