Great 2nd "productivity" monitor,

This review is from: AOC E1649FWU 16" USB-Powered Portable LED Monitor - Glossy Black (Personal Computers)
Pros:
1. USB ONLY! No power cord, no VGA cord, just a single usb cord.
2. Super Light. I weighed it and it is the exact weight as my IPad 1.
3. No Lag, seamlessly extend your desktop
4. Great resolution
5. Easily plays youtube videos (not full screen though)
Cons:
1. Doesnt come with a pouch to protect the screen when transporting it.
2. You can almost "see" the pixels when the screen is all white.
3. Don't expect to use this for any type of photo editing... you could use through for your pallets or other windows.
4. Glossy screen has a lot of reflections.
Primary Use:
1. For work, mostly uses Excel, Outlook, Word, etc.
So this is just an initial review and will update if things change, but so far it seems like it is going to exceed my expectations. My biggest concern was that there might be type of "lag" with the monitor. Nope, it feels and acts like any other 2nd monitor attached to your computer...Read more

Great Way To Add Screen Real Estate On The Road,

This review is from: AOC E1649FWU 16" USB-Powered Portable LED Monitor - Glossy Black (Personal Computers)
I use two 28" screens with my desktop computer, so it's always been a big hit when I go remote and need to work on my awesome laptop. No matter how good this laptop is, it still only has a 14" screen. With the smaller single screen, I estimate I can be about 70% as effective as I can while working at home. This AOC screen allows me to take *some* of the benefits of a big desk setup with me on the road. I don't carry this for meetings, conferences, or for using at the coffee shop or on the train! But I DO take it when I'm likely to be in the same hotel for a few days, or abroad for a few weeks. It helps me set up a remote office without a big productivity hit.
Pros:
Simple USB-only hookup
can work off laptop batteries, which drain faster, but still no plug is required
I plugged it into Windows 7...it found its own drivers, then just worked
Light
nice built-in stand
easy for portrait or landscape
same resolution as my laptop
For sales...Read more

This review is from: AOC E1649FWU 16" USB-Powered Portable LED Monitor - Glossy Black (Personal Computers)
My business is retouching and post-production. So wherever I go I have to carry a mobile workstation with me in case my clients call and see they need something unplanned in a hurry. When you are used to working with 3 or 4 displays at the office, it's irritating to be limited to one. This guy has been great so far. I use it for my tools and panels when in Photoshop. It's also great to use on a daily basis with my laptop for my orders screen or email. I also like that it auto rotates to portrait. This is great for some of my long excel sheets or when I'm writing code. Even if I decide to do paperwork downstairs in front of my TV, it's great that I can take this and my laptop and get some work done outside the confines of my office.
Pros:
small
thin
very light
USB only (no extra power adapter)
bright (from what I've read the Lenovo portable and toshiba are not bright at all)
landscape or portrait
Cons:
Uncontrollable...Read more
