A good second screen to my laptop

I miss having both screens

Great mobile screen for development purposes.

I use this as a portable second screen for my Macbook Pro

After only four days use the screen is cracked internally without any external sign of damage

Great portable second screen

Good screen while it lasted, but would expect longer than 2 months usage.

I am used to working with two screens but travel a lot for work, so I needed a portable second screen

Its lightweight, great screen quality, easy to download drivers, and a nice case to travel with it

Huge Glare Problem, no matter how bright the screen is, there will be a glare in a properly lit room

Decent monitor that is helpful as a second screen.

This is a great second screen.

As soon as I upgraded on my Mac the screen stopped working and without a driver the screen is now useless

If it get's lost - the screen is dead until you get an original replacement online

Everything is now working, and the screen looks great but it does not feel very high quality... maybe look for something a bit more premium if you want a truly portable monitor... not sure how long this will really last...

He mostly uses it at work to split his laptop screen

Screen was great

Screen could be brighter, but that's mainly because I'm using it next to my retina display

I originally bought this because at my job I move around from room to room a lot and having two screens ins a luxury

I use it in vertical mode, and it is perfect to house all the office messaging apps, freeing my main screen for productivity apps.

Screen itself is clear and bright

I work from home on a laptop and this screen has been a lifesaver.

Screen is a little fuzzy

Screen breaks if you look at it funny

The monitor fell off a laptop stand (8 in.; 20 cm) and broke apart on the side of impact, also damaging the screen

Love the screen size and clarity

As a precaution, I intend to cut a piece of foam board to fit the sleeve and cover it with soft fabric to protect the screen from damage from luggage mishandling and bumps in public places

Screen broke within a couple weeks.

The screen has cracked within it's protective case :

Overall, quite a good USB-powered screen.

Screen was working fine until one day last week (about two months from purchase) it showed a crack in the

The screen is so dark on a mac

That being said, the screen and picture quality were a tiny blurry, like a screen made back in the '90s ... which was fine for me

Screen is fine but the cord was fried when I received it

great little screen, very light, great soft foam case included

However, I didn't mind too much as this was supposed to be for quickly referencing an email or spreadsheet while working on my laptop's main screen.

This screen is great

*just* right, the screen doesn't work

When I can, this works well as a third screen.

I bought 2 & are still trying to get one to work properly with 2nd USB connection ... great screen .. nice & light

This is really a good quality screen for the price.

so I googled (thank God for Google)and sure enough I found it and installed.. then like magic the screen came on

Love this extra screen.. super easy to use.

Love this extra screen.. super easy to use.

The slightest knock cracks the screen, rendering it useless

I'm used to working with 2 monitors at work - the one on my notebook and a separate screen.

It's no biggie either.- the screen is a little dark

Screen is nice and

I need 3 screens when I work, though I can get away with 2 in a pinch

Unfortunately, less than two weeks after it was shipped to me, the screen cracked internally for no reason whatsoever

Regardless, I liked this monitor enough to buy a replacement (though because I had customers question the image quality - I went with the IPS version), though I also picked up a hard case to better protect the screen.

Screen is very bright, for better or worse

Great additional screen

I love the extra screen!

Nice travel case as well to protect the screen from scratches.

Excellent as a second screen, however, I use it to manage presentations in cafes and small spaces where is not possible to bring a projector and ecran or fit a large display

At first it worked great as my second screen, but now it flickers on and off, mostly the screen turns black while I am working on multiple documents

Unfortunately, the screen was damaged, thanks to baggage handlers.

The screen is brighter than I expected, given the limited power from the USB port

Five years ago, this would have been a great secondary mobile screen.

If I restart my computer, then the screen would magically work again.

Highly suggest if you need a portable screen!

This screen was super easy to set up - it came with a CD for the Displylink driver, but I don't have a CD drive,

Exactly what I was looking for a portable screen for a mobile office, set up a mobile office anywhere within seconds

The monitor worked pretty good for a few months (rarely used), although the screen was kind of dim, so daylight use wasn't real swell

Two screens are much better than one and this one works great

Was a bit worried after reading some of the reviews regarding protecting the screen within the sleeve provided.

The screen was stored in the provided carrier but broke on it first flight somewhere better the trek from my home, airport, flight, and drive to the client

I love this portable screen

Love this great solution, portable dual screen workstation.

Still have never got the auto rotate to work but a good little second screen for sure

it worked out of the box, and b) had a stiff protective side in the cover sleeve to keep the screen safe in transit.

The first time I accidentally bumped the screen into the side of a table and the screen cracked

The color is fairly washed out and the drivers that you can get from AOC for a mac do not have the on screen programming or capability to adjust contrast, brightness, etc.

Easy to pack in laptop case and would recommend to anyone that needs a second screen when working with a laptop.

Excellent as an additional screen!

In conclusion: Decent screen, TERRIBLE Customer Service.

Screen went bad after 10 months

Very affordable good quality screen.

Great screen...helps a lot when you do tech work on the road...able to read the onenote and teamviewer into another computer, switch to the web browser to see their firewall, printer settings, term serv

Wonderful size screen and it works perfectly.

Bought this to have a second screen available for my laptop when working from home

Highly recommend, especially to business people who travel and need a second screen like myself.

The screen is bright, crisp, and essentially no lag time as all.

Screen flickers frequently.

I would not try to play games on it, but for us power users that miss our 4th and 5th office screen, this 2nd screen is great.

Traveled with it using the protective screen provided and the screen broke

The screen is darker than your laptop (as expected) and does not seem to lag when your laptop is plugged into a power source; however, if your laptop is not charging then the frame rate can be so slow to the point of being intolerable

Very nice portable screen

Loved this screen except for one detail

The screen is great and does what is expected for me

This is a decent second screen.

Adjustable screen brightness comes in handy

The screen is flimsy and thick and hollow

but the screen cracked after just 2-weeks of use.

Good looking screen and housing

It's very light, the right screen size for meI would recommend this product

I was looking for a good monitor to travel with so that I can extend my screen and work more efficiently while on the road

This screen only worked for two months.

Since my boyfriend was the one that bumped the table and rocked it, he was nice enough to buy my second one knowing I love using 2 screens for work

The screen is convenient to use and works well.

Screen isn't super clear, but more than adequate for a work PC

I would give this five stars except for the color controls, the lack of vesa mounting point, and no sort of hard cover to protect the screen during transport

This is an incredibly useful extra screen, powered through its USB connection

This is a great portable screen.

but the screen didn't work on my 2019 MacBook Pro running Mojave

I like the screen to take on trips and it is always packed in a professional computer bag

I like having this as an extra screen but it is slow even my mouse icon skips around on it

Excellent screen

(AMD display driver crash, constant screen flicker, windows explorer crash, etc.

It's a good screen.

This is a pretty great deal at $120.Small cons:*I wish it were slightly lighter*Semi-glossy screen

This screen works just like I hoped it would

This is a good screen when it is connected but it has already gotten very frustrating trying to get the cord to stay in place and not disconnect.

The screen will frequently disconnect if you bump the monitor

Now the cons:- glossy screen

I have not used this monitor for up to 3 months and the screen has got a crack already

My MacBook Pro has a resolution of 1920 x 1200.Trying as hard as I could to love this little screen, the disparity in screen size makes it unusable

I had no issues with any sort of screen lag - mouse, video or any other motion that I could detect.

the monitor itself is very sleek with nice screen.

The screen looks fine

I really want this to work as a portable second screen, the price was reasonable but the performance is terrible.

The screen works great

I bought this AOC screen to use it with my new laptop because a second screen would be really helpful while i am gaming, studying, programming and web designing

the screen was just useless after that

Good quality, nice case and clear screen

Be careful, very fragile screen

I have to use a Macbook for a coding course and the screen is very bright, so to look back at this one with its

Perfect for traveling and the screen is clear and exactly what I needed for my job.

I do love this screen

I may add something thin but stiff, to keep my bulky backup contents from crushing the screen, which would be my only concern

Great screen (once you figure out how to set its brightness), which works equally well in landscape and portrait mode

I've only had the product for less than a year and the screen is giving me issues

The screen was easy to install and worked great for the firs couple of months.

, the screen no longer works (just streaky lines).

I would recommend this monitor as an additional screen for people who need an additional screen for work or play.

I dislike that if you sit under the monitor and look up at it, you can see the screen waving and refreshing but it still works

Comment added after some months: I have almost not used this screen, especially because there are problems with the USB connection - the screen often does not work (the cable connection between the computer and the screen does not work), and the screen has so bad quality that I prefer not to use it

I would not try to play games on it, but for us power users that miss our 4th and 5th office screen, this 2nd screen is great.

Good screen/resolution and weight

If you are using a Mac laptop then this screen might be annoying to use the first couple of days, but you get used to the brighten.

Great little second screen for laptop just the right size for companion screen.

The first time I traveled with this thing the screen broke

Next I woke up and plugged it in after receiving it back and the screen was damaged with half of the pixels missing

Now, when I plug it in, the welcome AOC screen will pop up, but then the screen goes black

Unable to fix it, so will be looking to return the monitor (if possible).Also, blurry screen, painful on the eyes

I get so many questions about this slick little screen!

It is so much easier having a second screen while working from home.

I wouldn't recommend purchasing this for long-term use, gaming, photo editing, or if you need a bright screen

I ordered it because I need a second screen for my laptop to work from home

nice screen

Great screen to be able to work from home.

Has proven to be very handy since I am never in the office yet have to produce documents while traveling that two screens certainly make easier.

The monitor came exactly as described; nice screen resolution, perfect size for portability while being big enough to view or have as a second screen for my surface pro

the screen looked fine but when i plugged it in, the cracks were present.

Unfortunately, the screen was damaged, thanks to baggage handlers.

At first it worked great as my second screen, but now it flickers on and off, mostly the screen turns black while I am working on multiple documents

Excellent screen.

The sleeve it comes with has protected screen thus far (4 months) shoving into the front pocket of my laptop bag

I have had this portable screen for about two weeks

Something shifted in my trunk and broke the screen

Other than that, it's a good, portable screen, but you might find a better solution elsewhere.

Great as a second screen

The necessary hassle for this superb screen would be that it needs an additional software to adjust the screen brightness.

The only word of caution is that the soft sided sleeve that comes with it leaves the screen vulnerable to damage, so you just need to make you pack it up accordingly with nothing to press against the screen.

The screen is huge for a portable monitor and I love that fact.

Screen is sharp and makes working with multiple windows a breeze.

Stays put more or less to protect the screen, but NOT to act as a stand as pictured

Made cardboard cutouts to help further protect screen within the neoprene sleeve.

This screen is not usable and I will be replacing it.

Internal screen broken and unusable right out of the box.

the screen now works sometimes and often drops in and out seemingly at random

Writing this review mostly to let people know that this AOC-E1659Fwu screen is compatible with the Bontend tablet stand (see pictures)

The first screen broke while it was in my work backpack (inside protective case).

BUT, for now, it's a great second screen for my laptop and gives me a functional second office when I'm traveling.

This screen works great, it is big and easy to use.

I bought this to use with my laptop as a second screen when working.

The case is very useful, helps to keep the screen scratch-free in my travel bag

I love this screen

Good Quality screen

It's pretty bad@$$ working dual screen at a coffee shop or on an airplane.

The screen flickers a lot

Screen started to work, however it could not be rotated

I used the thing for only 6 hours before the screen started flickering and eventually shut off completely.

I cracked screen on laptop ordered one to fix

It fits in my bag, it needs no power supply, the screen is clean and crisp, the graphics could be a little sharper, but over-all, considering the weight, price and USB connections....love it.

The screen viewable angle is pretty awful but a nice little mobile addition.

Love this screen for work

I thought having two monitors was great yet having three screens makes me even more productive than I could have imagined

In addition, there is a noticeable lag in the refresh rate, so again, stick with static screens.

That being said, the screen and picture quality were a tiny blurry, like a screen made back in the '90s ... which was fine for me

I am a developer who likes having separate screens to write code while seeing the changes on my website

The screens crack super easily and warranties (both from the manufacturer and third-party warranties

It needs a hard surface to protect the screen while travelling

It also came with a case to protect the screen for traveling purposes

As a precaution, I intend to cut a piece of foam board to fit the sleeve and cover it with soft fabric to protect the screen from damage from luggage mishandling and bumps in public places

I called for warranty support and the person on the phone said that internal screen was damaged and that would not covered by the warranty.

I highly recommend an anti-glare screen protector.

One draw back and the only reason it's not a 5 start is that a monitor this size is fairly easy to crack the screen if you travel

Apparently the stress of being in my bag was enought to crack the screen.

It is a great second screen demo monitor--superlight, good enough looking.

The screen works okay as a second monitor, but I couldn't get the auto-pivot feature to work even after installing the recommended drivers a few different times

It looks like a nice screen aesthetically, it's light and comes with a magnetic cover

Great plug-n-play screen

Great screen for the money!

Perfecto, low cost, good little screen

The screen is about the same size as the laptop so it works great, but the resolution isn't even close (which I expected for the price).

so there are no extra cables you have to carry, and it's got a good screen quality for what I needed.

The screen could be clearer but it does the job

The screen cracked easily

Nice screen, nice carrying case

As soon as I upgraded on my Mac the screen stopped working and without a driver the screen is now useless

Four stars for the difficulty of set up and the screen black out issue.

The screen constantly gives twitchy shake at 1920x1080, and frantically blinks at 1280x720.My chromebook has no problem with other USB-C to HDMI dongles

but I have to admit, it's is a light, handy monitor with a good screen when it works.

Great screen, met all my expectations

This screen is really quite nice.

and I finally cracked the screen.

When you plug it in, the screen shakes and goes dark

It will also flash a longer, more annoying screens between red and

screen too bright for me with NO BRIGHTNESS or CONTRAST controls and; in fact, NO controls at all

The set-up was easy, the screen is crystal-clear and it fits inside my backpack, right alongside my laptop.

The screen has good clarity and brightnessIt's the least expensive 1080p, IPS, usb portable monitor that you can get

The external screen sets up easily and works fine.

Screen broke after a few uses and one time traveling with the monitor

The monitor does not work with my Mac Book Air, The screen flickers off anon but will not connect

Clear screen, excellent travel monitor.

If you need a dual screen and are not relying on it for art type projects, you will love this updated AOC screen.

It is light, sturdy, easy-to-use, and very clear screen

The perfect second screen for on the road

, I was hoping for a better screen clarity.

I can have a small, light, portable screen to work from home with

The screen is great

I like the weight and the resolution compared to other portable screens

After a few emails where I sent the receipt and the above picture of the failed screen, I was told that a UPS slip would be emailed to me, and I would use that to send the old, defective screen to AOC for a new, functional screen

-Screen could be a little brighter, but not a huge issue-The "case" is just a cover for the monitor, I would recommend getting a large case to put the screen in

This screen is very fragile

Even with provided soft case, I still feel that I will break the screen someday in my notebook backpack.

Screen is very sensitive to movement

One day I took the monitor out of the case and the screen looked damaged

So sad as I actually love the screen.

The screen wasn't super sharp, but I thought it was sharp enough for occasional use

I figured two screens were better than one

Screen isn’t the best, definitely HD

In short, my screen failed, and I filed a warranty claim with AOC.

Great screen for business travel

I have to buy a better transportable screen.

I could overlook the blurry screen

I worked at first then all of a sudden it would turn off my main screen and show nothing on this screen

Works great as a second screen with my laptop

I'll be working and suddenly the screen is dark.

However one trip through the air port the screen was shattered

This is an awesome screen

When I explained to them that no physical damage occurred to the monitor and in my opinion it is a product/manufacturing issue and felt that it should be covered the guy said to me "let me rephrase this, the monitors are fragile any pressure will damage the screen."

I am sure that it probably has a nice screen resolution, etc, but am unable to verify since it mechanically will not engage

This screen is pretty great to be honest

Problems: While playing video; screen flicker/refresh rates, the USB3.0 cable port in the back of the monitor isn't really secure and so sometimes it doesn't make proper contact and ends up not making connection with my computer

So, long story short, the first time I used the monitor, I accidentally pulled the monitor off the coffee table and it took a tumble; now half the pixels are disabled and the screen is useless.

Im very disappointed as it is very hard to find an external portable computer screen for a Mac laptop.

This product is of poor quality, I have had the monitor for approximately 6 months; I have had to replace the coard and now the screen is spotty.

It has no problem holding up the screen at an angle and looks very sleek.

The screen is awesome in theory, but ultimately, doesn't work with my MacBook

My laptop (a Lenovo T440p) lost its screen imaging (blank screen when powered on).

Only issue is that the screen is very shiny and the glare from lights in the room is distracting.

Occasionally, there is a bit of lag when I have moving images on both screens, and the picture quality is obviously not as good as my mac's screen, but for someone who uses the second screen almost exclusively for text and programming, it does the job

Screen is good but a little dim, wish I could make it a bit

The disconnect almost seems random and inconsistent, not directly caused by moving the screen or shaking the wire

Great screen works flawlessly

Great screen works flawlessly

bad quality for the screen ,the screen is cracked and it was just purchased in Oct 2017

The screen on the first monitor I got was damaged; it worked, but the display had both black and white blind spots and showed a cracking pattern

Then, after commuting with it in my backpack for a week (nothing crazy...just on and off a bus), the screen broke

As a summary, what they should include in the future is:-Thinner screen (If Asus can, why can't you)-1080p resolution (It doesn't make sense for your phone to have better resolution than your monitor)-Touchscreen capability as an option (After all, scrolling documents via touch does make life easier, and most of all, touchscreen is affordable enough for it to not add significantly to the price to just have it there in case you need or want it)-Please maintain the small folding

This is a great second screen for my laptop to use for work or when I want to game/watch shows at the same time

Either that or you could change the resolution on your screens which makes everything on your laptop teeny and everything on the portable screen so big you can't even see anything you have open on it.

The screen has just blown out, less than one year of owning it.

Once I got the driver installed, the screen worked great at first.

Recommend purchasing a good screen protector that has that feature

Screen is ok but software does not work on Winfows

Looking for a portable 2nd screen that would be easy to use, I found this one from AOC.

Screen is bright, HD display is nice and crisp (originally bought the non-HD, but needed to upgrade in order to see Excel spreadsheets with more clarity in smaller text) and had no complaints about the performance of the monitor

Obviously not as clear or bright as my main laptop screen, but more than adequate.

I purchased this monitor as a 2nd screen to my laptop to work on documents, email and other business programs (Office 365) when on the road for my job.

The screen is completely ruined

a little glitchy on Mac and the screen can be a bit dark, but it was very cheap and works out of the box - it does the job

That means that the screen (at times) will either flicker and/or turn off

PROS : portability, good stand which folds back, fairly light in weight, bright screen, nice protective carrying case

Resolution and contrast are OK, but the glossy screen means glare that can really degrade the readability.

My AOC monitor has stopped working - the screen only flashes after being plugged in

According to my research before purchasing the AOC e1659Fwu, some other similar monitors reportedly have less bright/clear screens or seem to have compatibility problems

The screen has no display controls separate from your laptop display, so I can't brighten the screen.

It would not refresh the screen until I dragged the window a little and suddenly the cell I clicked on would be selected.

Works well as portable second screen for software development, on Mac MBP with OS X 10.10.3 and Win7 in virtual machine.

Works well as portable second screen for software development, on Mac MBP with OS X 10.10.3 and Win7 in virtual machine.

I was looking for a portable screen for my Xbox One

This monitor feels fragile, so i had to take extra precautions to protect the screen

I absolutely love my extra screen

For being one of the best in class, I give it 4 stars, but I don't see why we can't have a product with a better quality screen.

I wonder why nobody seems to make a portable screen with HDMI or Display Port connectors.

looking.3- Full Screen doesnt always work

No visible damage but the screen just

So now I have an apparently dead screen that cost me over $10 per use for the few times it worked for me before it died

AND if you want to further protect the screen add a fitted piece of HPDL (Formica

6 months later I bought a screen for another co-worker, 8 months later and both our screens stopped working.

Very clear, bright screen

Screen is good but a little dim, wish I could make it a bit

The sleeve is nice but is really just to protect the screen from getting scratched in your bag

The screen is awesome in theory, but ultimately, doesn't work with my MacBook

Screen broke when I left it on my desk overnight

When connecting this screen and my keyboard with a usb splitter, the screen takes up too much power and the keyboard doesn’t work

I have used it for only a few minutes, but the screen is bright, clear, and the form factor is great!

On my Mac, easy peezy, Macs just work and although it's not my retina display, it's damn good for what it really is, a spare screen is all

Screen is clear enough for everything I do...watch Netflix, buy even more stuff on Amazon, read webpages, and other basic computer use.

The first time I traveled with it in my carry on bag the screen cracked and now this is useless

Love it so much I bought a second, now I can have a good set up while working on my different assignments for class, no more delays due to insufficient screen space when shuffling through file folders or reference images.

Clear screen

It's not a retina screen, so it's not as bright as the mac screen

it's not heavy, fits perfectly in my laptop bag and provides a great additional screen for work.

then this screen will cause a step function improvement in your productivity

Garbage, poor driver support and screen is glitching already.

Screen is broken although it remained in protective cover.

Problems: While playing video; screen flicker/refresh rates, the USB3.0 cable port in the back of the monitor isn't really secure and so sometimes it doesn't make proper contact and ends up not making connection with my computer

If it doesn't work, I will return this screen and try the latest ASUS USB monitor.

Screen cracked

Great additional screen for my MacBook Pro for working during travel

I'd been debating returning it before because the USB3 only option with a unusual, detachable cord limited the screen's usability enough to make it annoying.

After being mobile for one day the screen is suddenly cracked and useless.

Perfect extra screen when I travel and want to remote into my dual screens at work.

The screen is crystal clear

The "duplicate" screen worked for about 4 months and now that option is no longer available

Note: both the laptop and PC "saw" the monitor though the screen remained dark

Anyway, awesome portable 2nd screen for general computing work with a Surface Pro 6

The next day when I went to power it on, the screen was completely destroyed internally and only displays black and white

Great extra screen for laptop use.

The resolution is what it is: at 1366 x 768, it's not super clear, but it's acceptable for static screens like Excel or text documents.

Love the light-weight, single USB connection for an ultra clear 2nd screen that makes writing, graphics, and other displays so much easier to deal with

The screen is clear enough for my needs (email, excel, general business support needs.)3

Reason I bought this was because we have employees who are on road a lot so having a portable screen really helps

I use it as a second screen when working

While it does work, and it works well, it does not have great image quality and it is a slightly odd screen resolution.

The screen flickers on and then off, over and over

This second screen is amazing and so transportable that I can go anywhere and use it - I am not restricted to sitting in areas where there are power outlets because this magical screen uses the power from your laptop

Bright screen, easy to use and extend screens

I can't figure out how to dim the extended screen but it is very hard on the eyes.

Awesome screen for someone like me who travels 90%..

The use side is not s problem

USB C requires alt mode for it to support displays and without it you will not be able to get this monitor to work

Great little monitor all works off of USB c

This monitor is not as clear as the USB-C

I got this in March and for the first 3 months it worked fine; plug in USB-C and then boom, instant 2nd monitor

So I ordered USB-C to USB-A adapter, and the display still didn't work.
