This review is from: AOC E2251FWU 22 - Inch Widescreen USB LED Monitor - Black (Personal Computers)
Being newly released I took the plunge and bought this without much information about it. I've had it for about 24 hours now and am happy with the purchase. I'm using this monitor with a current gen MacBook Air. I've found the following:
- Color is a bit muted, comes around a bit after the monitor has been on for an hour or so
- A breeze to configure on OS X Lion
- Sometimes the Display Link connection gets a bit "busy" and movies displayed on screen will get a little bit choppy. This seems to occur when I have a bunch of windows open at the same time, and does not appear to be affected by system load. [I'm just using the default DisplayLink driver on the AOC disk and haven't experimented with anything else yet.]
- Very nice to be able to just plug into a USB and have a 2nd screen on my MacBook
- Very light and "portable." I'll be able to take to longer-term jobs and use as a 2nd monitor without having to lug something large and heavy along. 22"...Read more
Meets expectation,

Earlier this year, I came across the 16 inch version of AOC USB powered LCD monitor and purchased it. I was a little skeptical about whether it will deliver its promise, but was pleasantly surprised by its performance and ease of use. Then I learned about the 22" version being scheduled to be released in Feb 2012, and decided to return the 16" one and wait for the 22". The release was delayed for 3 months and finally it came to Amazon in May and I purchased it right away. To sum up, I'm glad I waited. The extra 6" makes a whole lot of difference and I just love the large screen. Here is my summary of pros and cons.
Pros
1. No power adapter or video cable necessary (which is a HUGE PLUS)
2. Very light weight (light enough to carry it with one hand)
Cons (I list 3 cons, but really only care about the 1st one)
1. Takes up 2 USB ports (on my Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop)for sufficient power supply ... Because my laptop only has 3 built-in USB ports, I...Read more
