AOC E1759FWU 17-Inch LCD/LED Monitor - Black

* The good:- I was looking for a monitor with a resonable size to carry around everywere. My search ended with this one.- The display quality is crisp and in my opinion the max resolution of 1600-900 for this 17 inch mobile screen is ideal.* Less good (depends on the viewpoint)- Some may disfavor the glossy screen, but it does not bother me at all.- Also, you require to install the software via the CD which is delivered along with the screen.Conclusion: If you are looking for an afordable mobile screen, look no further.

I needed to replace my old 15" AOC USB monitor and saw the 17" and thought it would be a better replacement. I was however a little apprehensive given the reviews here. I'm so pleased I decided to to order the 17", it is brilliant, such a useful extension to my work laptop. I use mine for email, in house applications, excel, ppt, internet etc and I've had no issues at all with picture quality or speed of starting up, it's instant just like a normal monitor...

After reading some reviews here I was very sceptical about whether it would work, although some of the video reviews were positive. I should point out I bought mine as a refurb at a greatly reduced cost (£60) which no doubt affects my positive view. Now the picture quality is not as good as my laptop screen, despite having a higher res (1600 x 900 vs MacBook Pro's 1440 x 900). The pixels are more evident and there is dramatic contrast changes depending on viewing angle. I would describe the quality as good enough, especially considering displaylink adapters alone can cost £30-60. I could read my spreadsheets well enough, emails, and presentations without problems.I have upgraded to Yosemite, so you if you are running this also make sure you download the latest drivers from the displaylink site. You will need v 2.4 or newer (v 2.4 at the time of writing)If you are looking to improve your productivity away from the office, this is an awesome solution. Despite my old Mac only having USB 2.0 it only needed one usb port to power and supply a video signal to the AOC monitor. This is critical for me, as I've only got two ports, and to be really productive I need a keyboard and mouse, so one port needs my logitech unifying receiver.Once you've got used to multiple monitors in your office it feels sluggish only having one at home, so for me this was a no brainer. It was the only one I could find that would still fit in my laptop bag, and also offer the higher res of 1600 x 900. Is it worth £100? Well having used it now I would say it probably is, just don't expect a high quality IPS or VA panel.

I overlooked the other review, which mentioned bad picture quality. A standard TN+ panel perhaps, how bad could it be?It turned out the other reviewer was too kind giving this product 2 stars. The screen on this thing is absolutely awful - about the quality of the screen you find on a £35 tablet PC. I wasn't fussed about colour/angles, but even the text is fuzzy, with a strong blue haze no amount of calibration could solve. Who thought it was a remotely good idea to sell something like this for £100+? Most cheap notebooks have far better displays than this. It's really that bad. Within 5 minutes decided to return it. Don't waste your time like I did.

easy to setup and works fine, but indeed you cannot compare the quality with the main monitor.however it cannot turn on using USB hub, not enough power

The other reviewers are accurate about the quality - it isn't going to wow anybody, so I won't go into detail about this; just know that it's not overly crisp, bright, nor colourful.This review aims to focus on the poor AOC support and getting the monitor up and running in Windows 10, which is not supported out of the box. It constantly has USB connection issues and will 'freeze' every 30 seconds or so with the OOTB drivers, and even every couple of minutes (or sporadically longer) with the latest drivers.First, if you can get it to work on Windows 10 without spending time playing with drivers, then you're lucky. There have been reports of it working, but the drivers are only supported up until Windows 8.1. If you happen to be on Windows 10, there is hope though, and it doesn't lie with AOC.AOC are good at staying within their promised response time frame of 48 hours, but no matter how much debugging information you provide, they will ask you the same basic questions, and there will be at least 24 hours between replies. The last response I got from them was: 'I have never heard of that happening before', and that is where my communication with them ceased. Also their driver download link is broken at the time of writing this, and it looks like it's only a Mac driver (again, I think a website bug). But don't bother with AOC at all - you will have better results with the company that makes the drivers, who have been great.The monitor uses Display Link drivers (displaylink.com) and they have just released a driver (8.0M1) for Windows 10 anniversary. I certainly don't suggest trying to get this monitor going on anything earlier - upgrade to the anniversary update as soon as you can. The M1 driver still has issues, but the 'freeze' time can be much longer, and refreshing the drivers in device manager can give you a few more minutes of use before the next freeze, but is still frustrating.Windows Update (for anniversary) will install a slightly older version of the 8.0 driver, which improves mouse performance immensely on the monitor, which was lacking previously, but disconnect time is still very short. Don't bother with the Windows Update version for this monitor - it may work for other monitors, but not this one. Both the Windows Update and M1 drivers suffer from very poor start up time.I am currently testing a release candidate of the 8.0M2 driver, and so far so good. It's only been a day, but not only has it retained the mouse performance, but the start up time is almost instantaneous (it turns on at the same time as my main laptop monitor) and the monitor has not disconnected yet. It is due for final release at the end of August (so not too far away).So, the monitor, while not fantastic, is exactly what I needed for my workspace. It nearly was returned, but the M2 driver from Display Link, should it continue to behave, will ensure I keep it. Definitely do the Windows anniversary update, and get the M2 driver on release, and you should be good.

I bought this in January '16 and for a while it was great, but the connection has become really unreliable and it can take 10 minutes of trying to get it to connect. I only use it occasionally, not every day, so the usage has not been heavy. I would like a replacement to see if this was a one off as it is a really useful piece of kit to have.

Really good monitor. I'm using it with a small laptop. Delay isn't noticeable. picture reasonably sharp. USB powered so only one lead to worry about. That said, the lead could be a bit longer, but apart from that very pleased.

Cuando estaba buscando pantallas portatiles y vi esta al principio dude, pero despues de convencerme con informacion en la web decidi adquirirlo y la verdad me gusto, Un buen tamaño y la simplicidad de funcionar con los puertos usb de la laptop. La pantalla es genial.

Zweit-Bildschirm fürs Laptop, sehr gut umgesetzt. Geht sogar mit USB 2 noch akzeptabel. Gutes Bild, schönes Design. Ich arbeite sehr gerne damit. Etwas Blickwinkel-abhängig. Für diesen Preis unschlagbar .

Excelente opción si viajas mucho. En la oficina trabajo con tres pantallas y al ir de viaje las echas de menos. Con dos te arreglas y para eso este monitor es perfecto. Cabe sin problermas en el la bolsa o en mi caso en un maletín Samsonite con ruedas. Una de las grandes ventajas es que solo necesitas un USB 3.0 o dos USB 2.0 para que funcione, o sea no necesitas fuente de alimentación extra. Una posible pega es que no se puede ajustar a nivel de contraste, brillo etc pero en mi caso es irrelevante. La calidad de la carcasa podría ser mejor, eso sí y estás obligado SIEMPRE a guardarlo en la funda que trae, De todas maneras estoy valorando comprar otro pero miraré si el portátil puede tirar con dos de ellos. Muy recomendable.

Je cherchais un écran sans pied et de taille raisonnable pour compléter mon ultraportable.Il correspond tout à fait à mes besoins. Le pied permet de régler son inclinaison et son orientation et le fait qu'il soit alimenté en USB limite les câbles.Il est aussi possible de le fixer au mur ou un autre support de bureau.Le tout pour un prix très contenu, je recommande !

..peccato il cavo cortoma devo dire che la qualità a livello AOCUtilissimo da portare in giro anche perché con esso viene fornita la custodia in neoprene del monitor.desktop esteso di qualità...se facessero il 22/24 lo comprerei
