The product works great 1) cable - it came with a 3ft and needed 6ft minimum. Save yourself returning cables that don't work, calling AOC and use the following cable: TIEGEM USB Type C 3.1 Gen 2 Cable USB C to USB-C Cable. (Gen2 is required) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F36KZCD 2) My usage: Client presentations . The client has their own view at a comfortable distance. No more crowding around one screen. 3) Size: perfect, as it is large enough for easy viewing and fits in my existing e-bag laptop backpack. 4) Magnetic monitor stand doubles a screen protector and can place the monitor in portrait or landscape. 5) 90 degree adapters can help with cable strain. 6) Battery life. I have a thin and light laptop that still had 25% life after 4hrs. Definitely portable. With recommendations from other reviews, I purchased a protection plan. Cons: None I've found.

Great Initial Impression

Initial impression is a very nice monitor. I'm happy with it so far. One issue with it is that there is only one button that is the On/Off button and Mode button. It is possible to control brightness and contrast as well as a Low Blue mode. What I like most about this monitor is that there is only one USB-C cable for power and video. This means I don't have to search for another power outlet to plug my monitor into. Also, the thin form factor makes this monitor very easy to transport. I noticed that this monitor is within a hair of the same length as my laptop but it isn't quite as wide. So I just stack the monitor on top of my laptop when I pack it into my laptop pack. I'm writing this review after just a few hours of use. These are my initial impressions that I hope will continue to be lasting impressions. If I encounter any issues I will update this review at that time.

Can't be Beat for the price

A terrific monitor. Came packaged well and quicker than stated. Easy-easy to set up. Windows 7, insert set-up disc, follow instructions and you're up and running, 3-4 minutes. Its not the absolute best picture quality but for Charts it more than good enough. I believe there are different versions of this monitor that offers finer picture resolution. Monitor stands Portrait and Landscape. Monitor seems to be friendly with battery power from laptop. Only noticed a 20 minute reduction in 2 hours of use on a 6 year old battery. Comes with an open ended case (with a Velcro strap to hold in the monitor) ultimately this case is most insufficient to offer much protection if the screen is packed into a suitcase or a backpack. I purchased an additional case from Amazon (a 15.6" Arvik laptop case) to use in addition to the original case. AND if you want to further protect the screen add a fitted piece of HPDL (Formica) in-between the two cases on the screen side. Adding the second case and additional protection also provides the room to house the cable; which is not storable in the original AOC case. Having read the reviews and problems some have had, I purchased the Extended Warranty for a few pennies extra.

Perfect for the road warrior. Make sure you have Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C that supports ALT mode.

I originally purchased this from Amazon, but their in-house delivery service botched the delivery and I never received it. I found it on sale at another on-line store that uses traditional delivery services. That being said, it is a great monitor. Make sure you have a Thunderbolt 3 or a USB-C port that supports ALT mode. I have tested it with a both a touch bar MacBook Pro and a PC with Thunderbolt 3. It was plug-and-play on both laptops. The image looks great. The colors are crisp. The dust cover is magnetic and doubles as the stand. Make sure you use the magnet to hold the monitor in place. The only negative thing that I have to say about it is the "one button does all". It can be a bit of a challenge to change the settings. If you are accustomed to having a dual-monitor setup, this is great for the road warrior.

Much better than I expected

Update - I've had this monitor for a week now and I'm still very impressed. Worked out of the box with my Mac Air, on my Windows laptop at work the provided drivers caused some issues with Outlook 16. I needed to install the latest Intel chipset drivers for USB support and then I was able to install the most recent DisplayLink drivers, and after that it works great on both laptops. The DisplayLink drivers also remember the display configuration - when I'm at my desk using the AOC as a 3rd monitor, I have it in landscape mode, and when I'm undocked and using the built-in display, it remembers that I like to use the monitor rotated 270degrees so I can use it in portrait mode - very clever. Zero issues at all moving it between configs and taking it home to use with my Mac. My first reaction - Wow! Yes, it has a little latency, and yes, off-angle viewing isn't great, but what a bright and crisp portable monitor! I'm writing this review on it in portrait mode - the kickstand supports the monitor in both orientations - and it has enough brightness and contrast out of the box to allow my aging eyes to read well in the native 1080p resolution. I was worried by a few of the more negative reviews, but I have to say - for the price, this thing is great!

Works Great

UPDATE 2 3/8/19 Immediately after I wrote the last update, AOC support called me back and said they could sell me a sleeve for $30 (includes shipping), it's a little steep for just a monitor sleeve, but I do give them credit for following up with me. BTW, it is a nice little padded sleeve and I may pay it if I can't locate mine, it's around my house somewhere ;) UPDATE 3/8/2019 Going to knock this down to 3 stars for the lousy support. I lost my soft case on the first monitor I bought last year. Since I couldn't see a way to contact the seller via Amazon, I went over their website and explained the situation via their contact form and asked how I could purchase another case. A reply was sent with a phone number... I called 3x and was disconnected each time. On the fourth try I was told they could not help me and I would have to contact the retailer. :( This was just to get a new case, I can only imagine if I have a problem with one of these monitors. ORIGINAL REVIEW I just bought my second AOC I1659FWUX (USB 3 Model) a year after my first. I recently purchased a Surface 6 laptop as a portable stock trading station. I needed something light weight that could easily fit in a backpack. I'm happy to say, no problem, I can easily fit everything in my regular sized Swiss Gear backpack with no problems. The monitors are light weight and easy to carry. The built in stands are very nice and I can adjust them to various angles, they work well in both landscape and portrait mode. Being IPS panels, I can view from just about any angle with no problems. Colors seem pretty accurate, though not adjustable, but fine for productivity work. It comes with a nice carrying case. I'm very happy with my purchase and would buy another if needed.

Great for road warriors

I bought this as an upgrade to their older, lower resolution monitor which has served me well for several years. The higher resolution is great and the image quality is significantly better. I keep the monitor in the trunk so I always have a second screen when I'm travelling. It is very light - partly to to the lack of an AC adapter - and pretty compact. For the life of me I don't understand how anyone could live with just one screen. I have to admit that I sometimes consider travelling with a USB hub so I could use both the old monitor and this one but that may be carrying things too far. One of the other reviewers mentioned the lack of a brightness control on the monitor. I use Pangolin Screen Brightness to resolve this. It works well under Windows 10 but I sometimes need to reboot to get it to notice that my configuration has changed from my desk (three monitors) to just two monitors.

Solid portable monitor.

I've been using this monitor for the past few days. Initial impression: very happy with this monitor. A little background. I'm software designer working from the road (random AirBNB's, hotels, public spaces & co-working spaces). My regular work setup consists of a powered standing desk, two 24in external monitors in addition to the 3rd monitor from my 15in MBP. I find that losing the additional monitors significantly lowered my productivity. My requirements for a portable monitor were: 1) Portability. I carry a 20L backpack by Peak Design. My whole workstation setup needed to fit in that pack. 2) Minimal additional gear. I didn't want to carry more stuff with me. I already had too much as it. 3) Seamless performance. The monitor needed to make my user experience better; not detract from it. In the past, I've tried using my iPad Pro as a second monitor. Even with a wired connection, it had too much lag. Pros: 1) Portability: It's very light with a footprint that is slightly larger than my 15in MBP. It fit snugly into the laptop slot of my pack. Barely notice the addition. 2) Minimal additional gear: The only cable needed for this monitor is a USB-C cable. Power and video flows through this one cable. 3) Ease of setup: For my MBP, it was plug and play. No dongle. No additional software to install. Super simple. 4) Excellent design: The cover/stand is ingenious. The cover becomes the stand (one less thing to carry) and attaches to the monitor magnetically producing flexible viewing angle choices. 5) Performance: No lag. Good picture (I'm comparing it the retina screen on MBP). The colors reproduction is acceptable. I plan to use as my secondary monitor. Cons: None yet. Final verdict: I would buy again.

Great for Traveling!!!

I telecommute. I work for a giant multinational corporation that allows me to work from home or wherever. Yes, you should be a little jealous, because I don't have to waste 2 hours on the road every day just to get to a stinky, crowded, loud office. But enough about me. This monitor is freeking awesome!!! It fits in my laptop backpack without adding any significant weight and only needs the one USB cord to power and display the image. This worked out of the box for me and I was up and running faster than I was able to get all the packaging put away. Quality is good. As others have said, this is so inexpensive, there is very little worry about it getting stolen or broken. Just buy a new one! I'll update in the months to come if this monitor fails on me. If not, assume I am one happy traveling techy! :)

Great travel accessory

The USB-C model is a wonderful monitor, and a godsend if you want to do actual work while away from your office. As long as your laptop supports DP Alt-mode over USB-C, it should truly be plug-and-play. Just one cable for both the video signal and the power. No weird drivers necessary - it's just a DisplayPort monitor. And the magnetic cover/stand is a brilliant design - it sticks to the front of the monitor for transport, and to the back to use as a stand. It works for both portrait and landscape mode, and has a large adjustment range for tilt angle. I wish my tablet PCs came with a stand this useful. Please note, Amazon bunches similar products together and lists them as different versions of the same product. But the different versions here are very different. The USB-2 version requires drivers which seems to be the source of many problems (and the main reason the rating is as low as it is). This isn't an issue with the USB-C version.
