About this product
The AOC E1659FWU is a 15.6-inch widescreen LED portable monitor with 1366x768 resolution. It has a 60Hz refresh rate, 5ms response time, and USB 3.0 input. Brightness is 200cd/m² with 500:1 contrast ratio. The LCD display is slim at 0.8 inches thick and suitable for casual computing. It's powered via USB.
Our take
I used the AOC E1659FWU as a travel monitor, and it's fine for basic tasks like email and spreadsheets. The USB 3.0 connection is convenient – no extra power brick needed. The 1366x768 resolution is low but acceptable for the price. Motion handling is decent with 5ms response time, but the 200cd/m² brightness is a struggle in direct light. Colors look washed out due to the low contrast. The main draw is portability: it's only 0.8 inches thick and weighs under 2 pounds. At $59, it's a cheap option, but you're sacrificing image quality.
