    AOC e1659Fwu 16-Inch Ultra Slim 1366x768 Res 200 cd/m2 Brightness USB 3.0-Powered Portable LED Monitor w/ Case

    • I have other USB displays from AOC that work
    • First let me make it clear that this is a vast improvement over the e1649Fwu model and is a good portable usb monitor when it works
    • but i think thats bc of the crappy usb
    • I would recommend it to anyone who needs a small win-8 compatible USB monitor.
    • Earlier versions of this technology didn't work very well because USB 2.0 simply doesn't have the bandwidth but USB 3.0 is fine
    • Additionally, The monitor comes with a 3ft cable, but if you need to replace it you'll need a compatible USB-C cable, as not all of them support alt-mode
    • Overall (if it continued to work) this is a pretty good USB Monitor, being there aren't a lot on the market.
    • Has a kickstand, good quality image, uses usb, very good especially for the price.
    • Weird thing is I use both of the USB power lines available, plugged directly into the computer
    • One real benefit is that the USB monitor can use a standard USB 3.0 Micro-B cable as well
    • Tried different USB ports, same problem
    • No issue with the USB connection or lag
    • Plugged in directly to USB 3.0 port and went to displays to detect and it worked
    • If you have two adjacent available USB ports (or USB 3!
    • As an aside, friends and family often bring me their cheap external hard drives that stopped working for me to fix, and 9 out of 10 times, they've failed merely due to a faulty USB connection because the solder was shoddy and wore out in time
    • Without seeing any sort of product support contact information, I'm returning the monitor to Amazon, but only so I can get another one which hopefully has a good USB plug
    • TO HDMI TO USB-C WORKs with this display
    • This USB 3.0 monitor works as advertised, plug it in and it works.
    • I am enjoying this USB LCD monitor
    • It is USB powered and should not fail this fast
    • I needed a usb-c monitor as a second screen while working at home
    • The USB-C cable worked fine and i put it away carefully as to not damage it
    • They just had a lame USB cable.
    • It's a decent USB monitor that I used for my Surface Pro 3.
    • A few complaints like the cheap plastic casing and very stiff USB cord, but pretty decent display for the price
    • Be warned, it only works with computers that support USB-C DP Alt Mode
    • It worked out of the box with my Dell XPS 13 laptop (running Windows 8.1 Pro) using the included USB 3.0 cable
    • The USB C connector works flawlessly on both Macs and PCs, and the screen appears well-made and robust.
    • Super Speed USB
    • Overall, quite a good USB-powered screen.
    • It has some nice features, the stand is great, comes with a neoprene pouch and y split usb 3.0 cable so you can use a separate power supply
    • On top of that it is light and works off USB 3, so no need to carry around extra vga's or power adapters
    • I had tried a less expensive USB monitor (~$100), but ended up returning it because the resolution was not good enough (1,366 x 768).
    • If you have 2 free USB ports this could be a great product.
    • My unit has the USB 3.0 Cable - A Male to Micro B cable like this: AmazonBasics USB 3.0 Cable - A-Male to Micro-B - 3 Feet (0.9 Meters) and connecting to the rear of LCD is a pain
    • So it comes with a split USB cord.
    • Great resolution, portability, excelent connectivity (USB 2.0 on my laptop ), the first time I had to restart the os, from there
    • Just bought the USB-C version and so-far, so-good
    • I though maybe it is because bad cable or bad usb c to usb 3.0 connector, but I bought a different cable and tried another usb hubs and connector but the problem still exist
    • This is an amazing usb monitor
    • Worked great for my work laptop, but my personal laptop wasn't compatible since the USB C port needs to support displayport data.
    • I purchased this monitor to replace an AOC USB monitor that died
    • With the advance of USB C and death of standard usb this should be called out by the seller.
    • The screen has good clarity and brightnessIt's the least expensive 1080p, IPS, usb portable monitor that you can get
    • It allows me to extend my screen outside of my dorm room and in my class room, not to mention the fact that the screen is super light weight, has good reception using my weaker usb ports and has beautiful graphic quality for my needs
    • You'll need DP over USB C capability
    • In addition, we did have one that had a bad mini USB port on the back of the monitor.
    • Single USB worked instantly
    • This usb-c monitor also only works with the included usb-c cable in the box when it is directly plugged into a computer
    • I don't know if it is just my laptop or a bad USB connector.
    • Great usb type c powered monitor that is perfect for traveling with my laptop when working on one screen just isn’t enough.
    • I just plugged the USB into the extra monitor and their chromebook and it works right away
    • The cable it came with is a wedge cable (1 USB-A to 2 USB-As) which I really don't like, but AOC said on the manual you don't have to use both.
    • So I ordered USB-C to USB-A adapter, and the display still didn't work.
    • Now it won't connect, the USB-c always seemed a bit shallow, but it worked
    • I wanted a smallish USB monitor I could occasionally plug into normally headless devices like my music server, which I typically operate through my iPad
    • Easy to install and connect for a non-computer person like myself, and it comes with the USB cord and protection sleeve.
    • The USB is not easy to plug in, but I just have to look closely when I hook it up
    • USB easy plug in is great
    • I was disappointed that Amazon's web recommended a USB 2A to USB C cable as that was NOT correct
    • Since it's one of the only USB powered monitors available, and I needed it for traveling computer setup, and it works, I like it.
    • I finally gave up and figured out how to manually rotate one screen in a dual-screen setup (tip: just go to your Windows 10 display settings, make sure the right monitor is selected and scroll down to display orientation and switch it to whatever you want).About the only other little thing I can complain about is that the cord that came with it has a weird double-USB dongle on one end (it's designed for people whose USB ports might not feed enough power to run the screen - you can plug into two USBs on your laptop at once to pull enough power for the screen)
    • The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because of the convenient USB-only connection for viewing and power.
    • The USB 3.0 jack works, but is sadly the only one that works for mine.
    • I bought (and needed) the Anker USB 3.0 4-Port Compact Hub to complete the setup as my laptop didn't have enough USB ports for these and my wireless mouse.
    • I tried a USB-C to USB connector as well as a USB-C to USB-C connector that the monitors came with
    • but I wouldn't play any action games on it-no way to control brightness or contrast; this is really bad for when you want to work in dimly lit areas or you feel it's too bright plus being able to control the brightness will reduce power consumption as well which is important if all you're using to power this is through the 2 USB ports on your laptop-dual usb port require for power and the additional power only cable end is only 4-5" from the data connector end which means unless you have two free USB ports very close to one another, you'll either need a USB battery pack or a USB extension cable (a right or left angled one would work best depending on which side of your laptop the power end is supposed to be connected to)-big bezels all around which results in a much bigger physical profile-thickness is an issue; it's thicker than ultraportable laptops and even some that aren't ultraportables like my Dell Lattitude E7450-horrible colors which can't really be adjusted, most people won't really care so this won't be an issue for mostNow for the pros if I haven't scared you away already lol:-very bright but as mentioned earlier, non-adjustable-can actually be powered by portable USB port battery packs, if it doesn't power on even when you have the power only cable plugged into the battery pack, unplug both and plug in the battery pack first then the other end to your computer-1080p res while still being bus powered though 2 USB ports must be used.
    • If you plug in the USB monitor, Nvidia Control Panel is essentially disabled.-Random, occasional USB "disconnects" and picture drop-outs, requiring USB cable re-connection.-Noticeable input delay via USB 3.0.-Software-based brightness/contrast adjustments; no built-in monitor adjustments.-No Linux support for USB 3.0 DisplayLink devices such as this one, only USB 2.0 devices
    • It did not work with my laptop Acer Helios 300 and my work computer which both have USB type C port but only carries data
    • The unit is so extremely picky about how it works that I have had to plan my entire home office set up around it to leave my usb-c output on my laptop free for this one product
    • Pros: lightweight, easy to use, the built-in stand was very convenient, the USB 3.0/3.1 connected and worked right out of the box, and the 15.6 inch screen size was great for cloning/expanding my 13.3 laptop screen
    • I could live with the glare and poor viewing angles but it not delivering on the value prop (portable USB display) kills it for me
    • However if you need a portable usb
    • Now it won't connect, the USB-c always seemed a bit shallow, but it worked
    • For me, this seems to happen when (a) I am running several devices on a portable USB 3.0 adapter without its own power cord (the adapter, that is), (b) I am asking my laptop to do some heavy-duty work, and (c) I don't have my laptop plugged in.
    • Product arrived with a faulty USB cord that allows for an intermittent connection
    • So, it works for me on USB 2.0 but not USB 3.0
    • I ended up using an ASUS MB168B+ USB monitor (1920x1080 & considerably more expensive) for my application.
    • I needed a second USB monitor for my laptop when working from
    • This has been one of the best USB monitors ever
    • Excellent USB monitor.
    • The use side is not s problem
    • After some trial & error, I found the optimal RGB to be about 5250 K (R & B will be nearly right; G will be perhaps 10-15% over).
    • connector on back of device is, in fact a standard USB 3.0 'Micro B' style plug, not proprietary like some have claimed.
