Its slim profile minimizes bulk while maximizing screen real estate, so you can carry a productivity-boosting 16-inch display without turning your bag into a burden.
• Vibrant WQXGA IPS touchscreen: The 16-inch IPS panel delivers wide viewing angles and accurate colors, making it ideal for spreadsheets, photo edits, design work, and media consumption. The WQXGA resolution (listed as 1600p in the product title) ensures sharp text and detailed visuals, while touch interactivity adds a natural, intuitive layer to your workflow. The 10-point capacitive touch supports multi-touch gestures for faster navigation and creative control wherever you are.
• 2-way USB-C power delivery up to 65W: A modern USB-C connection provides both display signal and power delivery, enabling the monitor to be powered by your host device or to supply charging where needed. This USB-C PD capability reduces cable clutter and simplifies your setup, letting you work with fewer adapters and more focus on the task at hand.
• Smart cover with built-in stand for flexible viewing: The included smart cover protects the screen during transit and folds into multiple positions to support a range of viewing angles. Whether you’re typing on a desk, presenting in a classroom, or watching a video on the go, the built-in stand offers stable, adjustable tilt settings for comfort and productivity. The smart cover design also helps keep the screen pristine by guarding against scratches and scuffs in transit.
• Versatile connectivity and everyday practicality: Designed for compatibility with USB-C equipped laptops, tablets, and other devices, the TD1656-2K offers a flexible, plug-and-play experience. The 16:10 aspect ratio is optimized for multitasking—stack documents on one side while keeping reference material visible on the other—while the touch-enabled panel enhances interactivity in portable setups, enabling gestures like pinch-to-zoom, rotate, and drag-and-drop with ease.
