Customer Ratings & Reviews

As someone who works in graphic design and frequently relies on accurate color representation, the AOC E1659FWU USB 3.0 monitor falls disappointingly short of expectations. Priced at $99, it offers an affordable option for an additional display but struggles to deliver the quality needed for tasks demanding precise color reproduction. The first noticeable drawback is the lackluster display colors. For graphic design work, where accuracy in hues and tones is crucial, the E1659FWU fails to impress. The colors appear washed out and do not reflect true shades, making it unsuitable for tasks like web advertising where color accuracy is paramount. This limitation significantly hampers the monitor's usability for creative professionals. The frustration doesn't end with the display quality; the set-up process is equally exasperating. The included directions are subpar, leading to a potentially disastrous scenario for the user. The reviewer, in this case, even contemplated destroying the monitor in frustration. The problem stems from the incorrect driver provided in the initial instructions. Following a Google search, the user discovered the need to visit the manufacturer's website directly for the correct Windows 10 driver. This oversight is not only inconvenient but also reflects poorly on the product's overall user experience. It's worth noting that the monitor's drivers seem geared towards older Windows versions (7 and 8), adding an extra layer of inconvenience for Windows 10 users. The correct driver can be found on the Synaptics website at https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/downloads. Once the proper driver is installed, the monitor does function as intended, but the frustration encountered during the set-up process leaves a lasting negative impression. In conclusion, the AOC E1659FWU USB 3.0 monitor is a budget-friendly option with significant compromises. While it may serve basic display needs, its shortcomings in color accuracy and the aggravating set-up process make it a less-than-ideal choice for users with graphic design or other color-sensitive tasks. If you're willing to navigate these issues for the sake of a low-cost secondary monitor, the E1659FWU might suffice, but be prepared for a less-than-smooth experience.

Love the portable monitor however it is not as bright as I would like it to be other than that it works exceptionally.

This is exactly what I needed when I have to work away from my home office. Easy set up, plug and play. I unboxed it, plugged in the usb connector to my Dell laptop and done.

This plug and play monitor works with both my MacBook and my PC laptop. Top notch for an affordable price.

This product is so convenient. I am able to work on the go without being restricted to the amount of space I have available.

Works great, easy to assemble! Comes with travel case easy to travel with to work from anywhere!

This is great for travel, light and portable. The screen quality is good for the price. I use it with a MS Surface Pro and was plug and play via the USB. Built in stand and comes with all cables needed to connect. Did not require any external power, just one USB connection to the laptop.

I teach and own an online company. This was perfect. Just know if you have a MAC, you will need to go to AOC website and download the correct software. Once that's done, it is simply plug and play, A good video to show how to properly connect is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1Qv3xh_HOI&t=49s. Overall, easy connection, big and bright screen and nice kick stand which allows you screen to stand on its own!

It’s light and doesn’t take up much room. I pretty much does what it’s supposed to.

Not plug-and-play. I had to download the drivers for it to display with my Dell laptop. Overall this works okay for spreadsheet and document tasks. The display is just not quite sharp enough to do any kind of graphic or video work. If I had to it over, I would have forked over more money for a higher resolution monitor.

I love everything about it…don’t even have to get out my bed!!!

Excellent Monitor for it be used on the go. I recommend it.

This is the first portable monitor I had used and I must say I was impressed. Truely literally Plug N Play. Thats it! Don't think too much in detail about how complex using a portable monitor can be. It is as easy as this. The picture quality to me is great...I am not a photo or video editor but for my work purposes involving meetings, excel sheets and powerpoint presentations, it feels great. Facilitates so much while I am traveling with work. I always missed my multi monitor setup at home but not anymore, thanks to this monitor.

Plug and play made it so easy to be able to utilize my new pic. This is a great add on for anyone who needs an extra screen. The price was right too!

Love this portable monitor. It’s been fantastic to have two monitors wherever I go to work. I wanted one that was practical, yet at a reasonable price point. Fits well in my backpack, so I enjoy this investment.

I bought this to use as a second monitor on a two week trip. It worked exactly as I'd hoped. It was light and thin enough to pack without concern. I could do my work on it and let the baby watch videos when she was bored. Don't judge, I'm grandma,

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.

Works well..slows computer down because it’s not powered

I love it! Best thing Ive bought in a while! Wonderful product!

Awesome! Light, sleek and shiny, very attractive. Case is awesome that comes with it.
