AOC - E1659FWU 15.6" USB-3.0 Portable LED HD Monitor (USB) - Glossy Piano Black

This monitor is fine when it works properly. I have to unplug/plug it in over and over again each morning to try to get it to be recognized/stay connected. It's irritating and a time killer. Downloading the drivers did nothing to improve this, and my laptop doesn't have a CD drive, so can't use the included CD. Best Buy has such a short return period and there's nothing else available immediately to replace it because of the influx of people working from home, so I am stuck with it.

I just got this today and I already love it. I use the split screen feature constantly and I'm very excited to have a full size monitor (that is bigger than my laptop screen) to work with. The setup was very easy for me. I have a Macbook Pro and I was concerned with if it would work well or not. I don't have a CD/DVD drive on my laptop so I almost bought a USB one but instead found drivers online. The installation was a piece of cake and as soon as my laptop restarted the monitor was up and running. If I have any issues I'll update this but none so far!

It's not going to blow you away with an amazing picture, but I'm giving it five stars because it does what it's supposed to do at a very good price. I love the versatility of the monitor. It lives on my desk and is attached to a wireless USB hub and an A-B usb switch to switch between my work laptop and my home PC. I need two monitors for work and I love that this monitor untethers me from my desk and I can take my laptop and get work done virtually anywhere. BE SURE TO INSTALL THE DRIVERS FOR IT. Otherwise it won't work. Also works great on my early 2015 Macbook Pro. If you want a versatile little portable monitor at a great price, this is for you.

I’ve been working from home full time since the beginning of the lockdown. I’m so used to working with two screens that using just the laptop felt like a handicap. This was an affordable and easy fix. This screen is crystal clear, connects automatically via the usb That’s also included and no extra power cord needed. Although it had a stand, I’m going to mount it to an adjustable arm since my desk at home is small.

At work I have 2 monitors plus my laptop. I'm on call 24/7 and having to use my laptop at home without an extra monitor was a struggle. Having this portable monitor has made working from home or anywhere so much easier! Thinking about getting a second one!

The resolution is not as good as I’d hoped for. As a second screen to pair with my laptop it didn’t work out because of that issue. It’s back in the box for now and I’ll see if it has some use in the future. It was inexpensive, so I guess I got what I paid for. The product itself functions as advertised.

I am very happy with this monitor. I wanted something the same size as my laptop and didn't take up too much space. This is perfect. However, the instructions to get it working are HORRIBLE. They are five years out of date. They give you a CD full of out of date drivers. What you have to do is go to Display Link's website to get teh Windows 10 version, install, change your display setting to Expand and then plug it in. Instead, I spent way to long trying to make sense of what I was sent. But at least it is working fine now. Sometimes I have to unplug and plug back in to get it on but not usually.

Honestly who doesn’t like to work from home in the recliner but then you really miss that extra monitor. I have 3 screens in the office and it’s so hard to use 1 from home. Hooked this up and it installed instantly, now I’m more productive at home too. You can even close laptop lid and use this monitor then you could have a wireless keyboard on your lap that’s lighter and doesn’t get hot. It would be great in the office for meetings too when you want to show others something quickly without getting out a projector. Great purchase! Most people probably haven’t heard of AOC. I used to sell computers with AOC monitors back in college. They were always reliable. Great purchase!
