AOC e1659Fwu 15.6-Inch Ultra Slim 1366x768 Res 200 cd/m2 Brightness USB 3.0-Powered Portable LED Monitor w/Case Black

My workplace spoiled me with having two monitors to perform my daily functions. After I purchased my HP envy I was forced back to doing my school work on one monitor. This, of course, was not working for me. At first, I was using my kids 20” LCD TV and the HDMI connection for a second monitor. However, this was just not working (for the kids, lol). So, I jumped on Amazon in search of another monitor but wanted something that I could keep with my laptop all the time. Walla, I found the AOC 16” USB powered monitor.Right out of the box I plugged it up (with the provided cable). Windows immediately recognized the new hardware and started searching and downloaded the driver. The only problem was it did not have the proper driver to detect the monitor being in landscape versus portrait and I would have to manually change it. But as soon as I popped in the disc; It updated and worked fine. It is not 1080p, but the picture looks really good. It is clear and crisp and has a lot more depth than what I expected. The provided cable is designed to plug into the USB 3.0 and into a USB 2.0 port to power the monitor. Don’t make the mistake that I did in ordering a second cable. The part that plugs into the monitor is not the same as a mini USB. It is completely different. I assume it is AOC’s design. It also comes with a nice soft feeling sleeve that comes with it for storage. This is pretty cool but not very useful to me. I simply slip it in the extra pocket in my laptop case, when not in use. So far, I have not experience the glitching that others have noted. This product has been a great asset for me when doing school work. I can pull up my e-books on it while I do my work or write an essay my laptop screen.If you are looking for something to help with school or work, this is perfect. Maybe you need to make up a presentation and want to display it to other while you control the slides. There are so many uses for a dual monitor from entertainment to multitasking. This thing is an excellent addition to any computer or laptop.

Doesn't work and brightness is ridiculously low. It's absolutely unacceptable that I had to pay for return.

These are excellent little side monitors for travel or, as in my case, for permanent use with my laptop.I have 2 of these at my office, so a total of 3 monitors set up in a panoramic array.Picture quality is very good, although available resolutions are not as high as the monitor itself.They DO require powered USB ports (and each one requires TWO ports).Very very worthwhile......I want them for home as well as at work.

Does EXACTLY what you need in a portable office. My Workmates are Jealous!

Good product
