Review on AOC E1659FWU USB Portable Monitor, 15.6", 1366X768P, 60Hz, Powered by USB by Mike Lancaster

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not a bad price, low contrast and USB power requirements

Screen contrast is definitely poor, but decent enough for an additional portable screen. The USB powered option does not work with USB hubs I own or USB-C powered hubs. It needs to be plugged directly into my laptop which has a regular USB port. The rest are USB-C or HDMI. This affects my ability to use most mice and keyboards that require this dongle connector. My workaround was to buy a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The cost of that could go into a portable monitor with better screen quality, but oh well.

Pros
  • Good portable second screen option
Cons
  • Low maintainability
