I bought this AOC travel monitor for use with my HP Pavilion laptop during ham radio field events, camping, and portable operating — and it’s become a permanent part of my go-kit. Pros: • Lightweight and ultra-portable • Crisp, bright 15.6” display • Easy plug-and-play setup (HDMI to mini-HDMI) • Great as a second screen for laptops on the go • Runs great off a portable power bank or solar generator What I love: The screen is slim, packs easily in my gear bag, and works perfectly outdoors. I use it for digital logging and monitoring ham radio data during Field Day events. Even in daylight, the screen is visible and responsive. The fold-out stand is simple but effective, and the build quality has held up well in real-world conditions. If you’re into travel, portable setups, or just need a reliable second monitor for productivity or hobby use, this AOC is a solid choice. Definitely worth it. Would buy again in a heartbeat.

The product functions exceptionally well, making it a reliable choice for any occasion. Its travel-friendly design allows for effortless portability, ensuring that it can easily fit into suitcases or backpacks. Additionally, the setup process is straightforward and intuitive, enabling users to get started in no time, even in unfamiliar environments. Whether you're on a business trip, vacation, or simply needing a temporary solution at home, this item provides both convenience and efficiency.

It's a nice Monitor. Love that it comes with a case on it that allows it to stand, and that protects the screen when I put it in my backpack. Resolution is nice. Size is nice. And its very lightweight. It comes with one usb-c to usb-c wire, I believe made for power. **You need to have a mini-hdmi or USB-c cable to connect to your computer. My *one* complaint is that for some reason when I use the USB-C cable to connect from the screen to my laptop, it also sends power to the laptop (since the screen is connected to an outlet). At first, this used to charge my laptop which was great! A 2 in 1. But then I realized it started to just heat up my laptop and actually decrease its power. So I had to get a mini-hdmi to hdmi adapter so I can just connect normally. So no issue anymore.

Okay, so the good: The price - excellent The screen size - excellent The cover/stand - best I've used Ease of use - plugged it into a 2019 13 inch MacBook Pro and 2024 16 inch MacBook Pro, flawless. The bad: The buttons - I accidentally put it in my laptop bag with the buttons facing down, guess what, the power button broke and is now pushed permanently in, unusable. While this was my fault, my wife and daughter's monitors, the buttons are on the front so I am going to ding AOC for this design. As an add, I gently carried this around in my laptop bag, so the button breaking means it's delicate/fragile. Brightness - It's very dim, even when you turn it up to 100%. Flickering - randomly, the screen started to behave bizarrely, unplug, plug back in, fixed. It could be the drivers on my MacBook, only happened on the 2019 model. However, worth mentioning.

The product serves exactly the purpose I wanted it for. I can quickly set up a multi-monitor work station anywhere I want inside or outside. Compared to a MacBook display, the colors are not as true, but that's ok for my needs. I would recommend the product for anyone who has a similar desire for affordable flexibility and portability.
