Customer Ratings & Reviews

I work ar home and sometimes having a portable monitor is just what i need to easily move from room to room and still get the use of two monitors. The resolutions is not great, specifically with text that is in a smaller font. It is plug and play which i LOVE! Its light weight and uses usb power so no need to lug around cables which is another great feature. It’s very light weight and a great size. My other complaint is that the stand is not very sturdy so it can get knocked over pretty easily. I think for the money you cannot beat it. I would buy it again. I just wish the resolution was a little better and the stand was made a better.

This portable monitor is PERFECT, even the included storage case is PERFECT. The screen is crystal clear and it hooks up simply by plug nPlay, then simply drag your content over to this monitor. Exactly what is needed for close-up, detailed work. I LOVE THIS, and it's so light and easy to carry. Fits right into my laptop case - all in one. EXCELLENT

Convenient when you need to add a second monitor that can be setup and quickly taken back down. Especially when you have limited space. Works with Windows 11 as well.

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!

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.

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!

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!

I take a lot of online courses so I needed another monitor so I could watch the entire tutorials without switching to another screen. This AOC monitor is perfect as a second monitor with a stand that fits so neatly between my keyboard and my main monitor. A really good buy!

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

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.

Love this monitor!! It has changed my life! I have 3 monitors in my home office but needed something for travel. My coworker recommended this - yay!! It’s amazing. I travel for work and love the compact size and short USB cord + case. It slides easily into a backpack or carry-on suitcase. I use this at client sites, coffeeshops and hotels. And when I’m at home is can move it from room to room. It’s provided so much flexibility. The low price made it easy to purchase. Also love that it doesn’t have a bulky electric cord. The small cord slides into the case with the monitor- so helpful when traveling - not having to keep track of bulky cords. I use this monitor daily and have had it for about 4 months. Love it!!!!

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

I bought this I needed it same day and the price was hard to beat. I'm very pleased with the purchase. It was very easy to set up - simply plug usb port from laptop to monitor and then adjust settings to 2 screens. Up and going in under a minute. It lines up perfectly with my laptop's screen so that my eyes/line of sight does not have to adjust up or down. Screen quality is good enough for the spreadsheets I have to view on them. I've recommeded to serveral coworkers and should have bought years ago.

Overall I'm pleased with the monitor. It serves its purpose. The picture is decent and it's easy to transport. Annoyances include the angle of the screen (the support has one position only) and the length of the cord. It's only practical if you're working at a small desk, and of course, those stupid cords are another $10-30. People on laptops don't work at desks in my experience. We're working in a chair or on the couch. Where it's comfortable. Aggravations: if I leave the monitor plugged in and let the computer go to sleep, or even just unplug and then plug it back in, I have to unplug and replug the monitor, often several times, to get it to wake up. Also, there desperately needs to be a no-slip pad on the stand. The monitor slides across the table every time I accidentally move the cord.

I bought this since I travel a lot. At home I have two screens but when I’m traveling, I only have my laptop so I decided to get this so it feels like I’m working at home, and I feel more productive because I have 2 screens. Very lightweight. You don’t have to plug it in just have to plug it on your laptop

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.

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,

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