AOC e1659Fwu and AOC I1659FWUX. Great thin, light, USB monitors. Mild negatives.
By Phil C. on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2022
The 16" , 1366 x 768 USB monitor (AOC e1659Fwu) has been great for years now. It is thin, included a neoprene sleeve cover and the stand works well. I HIGHLY recommend these monitors as when I go to site for service or travel for work, I have a second screen to allow active work on one screen, a procedure, email or remote screen on the other.... whatever. This monitor has lower resolution, so I have to shrink some things to fit or move them around. Windows allows reduction on this extended screen too. The AOC monitor displays pictures, text and movies perfectly. So, I purchased the AOC I1659FWUX 15.6", 1920 x 1080 HD USB monitor to replace it (I use the original on my personal laptop now) and fit more on the screen though slightly smaller physically. My laptop is 15.6" and both fit in the laptop bag side by side. I never travel for work without the monitor with me. This model has a USB A to USB A 3.0 cable and is not as delicate as the one I described above, though I am adding my hooks to protect it anyway. It works well with a USB A to USB C adapter. Great picture with HD resolution. The negatives. * The neoprene sleeve, though soft, provides NO protection from impact to the screen in transport. Many complaints about that. I use the original cardboard sheet sized the same as the monitor from the original box over the screen in the sleeve. I am creating something a little better abrasion free. I use this in hotels and in computer rooms, so it does get moved around a lot, pulled out and put away. * The USB cable. You can use USB C or USB A (USB 3.0) for laptop/PC end. The included cable is stiff and I replaced it with more flexible and shorter (2ft) fabric sleeved cables to carry (USB A and USB C ends for laptop). Amazon has tons of options here. I posted a pic of the micro USB male charging cable used for the monitor interface on the 16" model. The 15.6" model uses a standard USB A male connecter at the back. * The connector on the monitor. Everyone's biggest complaint as there is no protection from pulling the cable out sideways and damaging the interface connector. I posted pics of a simple solution I created using small 3M Command stick-on hooks. I can weave the cable around the three hooks, then slide it into the connector. Removes ALL of the stress from side movement and saves the monitor from the recycler or trash. Easy to remove. Allows movement without worry. Anything like a velcro strap or a clip fastened to the back to prevent pulling out will work. The negatives are easy and inexpensive to fix to prevent damage. Do NOT let these issues prevent considering the purchase of these monitors. The cardboard comes with the package, the 3M hooks cheap and the flexible, shorter cable, under $8 from Amazon and years of trouble-free use. An excellent option with AOC reliability. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 ONLY for having to do things to prevent damage that should have been considered in the design and testing of these really great monitors. 11/7/22. I had to update to 5 stars as I just can't get around using either of the monitors and have been undeniably reliable despite the negatives. Take the precautions I outlined and a long useful life is expected. I have one for each personal and work use and don't go anywhere without them. Recommended to friends who have purchased too. The newest one in HD has been OUTSTANDING.

BEWARE! DOES NOT WORK WITH WINDOWS 10!
By JakeTheSnake on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2018
I was super excited about this monitor from the looks of it online, but was extremely disappointed upon receiving it. The monitor would simply turn on and say "no signal." After about 3 hours of troubleshooting and searching online forums for solutions, I finally found the explanation. Someone in one of the forums where they were having this very problem said that they called into to AOC technical support and they were told that the monitor was meant more to be used with MACs, and was only usable for usb-c ports that are thunderbolt enabled (which virtually no windows laptops under $1000 are). And that was only the first issue. They really haven't updated the drivers for this these monitors since windows 8, and if you search online you can see that most people who had these have had nightmares with them after switching to windows 10. I wasn't able to find a single one of them who got the usb-c connector one to work. If you have a MAC, you might get it to work (can't guarantee it though), but if you have a windows 10 laptop of any price or quality you are better off not spending your time or money on this one, cuz you will be returning it after 1 day of frustration as I have. I think AOC is guilty of some deceptive advertising here to be quite frank. Their website is a nonsensical jumble two, and I had to jump through hoops for 10 minutes on there just to find where to download it. On top of that, they compressed the drivers as .rar files, which meant that I had to find and download another program to even get the files downloaded, and even when I finished all that, they didn't work. Their website, support, and promises have all been garbage so far. I would recommend a portable monitor that actually has an hdmi or display port input. These usb monitors always have issues with drivers and updates. Even if it means one more cord, at least it actually works simply.
