Technical Overview
At the heart of the VA1655 is an In-plane Switching (IPS) panel that delivers consistent color accuracy and wide 170-degree viewing angles both horizontally and vertically. With 16.2 million colors supported and coverage of 45% NTSC and 64% sRGB color gamuts, this monitor provides reliable color reproduction for everyday business applications, document review, and web browsing.
The display's 7ms gray-to-gray response time minimizes motion blur, while the 250 cd/m² brightness ensures good visibility in various lighting conditions. An anti-glare coating with 3H surface hardness protects the screen from scratches and reduces reflections. Two integrated speakers provide basic audio output without requiring external speakers for video calls or system sounds.
