Review: Great monitor, as long as you know your laptop/phone/hub support USB C video - This is a nifty portable monitor. Part of the reason I am so happy with it is that I got one used for only 49.99. The included magnetic cover does double duty protecting the screen when you're not using it, and holding the screen up when you're using it. And it works perfectly. Plug it in using the included USB-C cable, and bam. It works with my iPhone 15. It also works perfectly with my Mac Book Air, where I can easily use it in vertical or horizontal format. But it will not work with my work Dell laptop--that doesn't support USB C Video. BE AWARE-- if you want to connect a keyboard and mouse as well, via a hub, you have to be careful. The only hubs that pass through USB C video are pricey as of 6/2024. Look for "DP Alt Mode Video" in the description (the cheapest I could find was the "Startech 4 port USB hub with USB DP Alt Mode Video Output for 79.99).
Review: Used with HP envy dv7 17.3" Laptop with Windows 8.1 for school - My workplace spoiled me with having two monitors to perform my daily functions. After I purchased my HP envy I was forced back to doing my school work on one monitor. This, of course, was not working for me. At first, I was using my kids 20” LCD TV and the HDMI connection for a second monitor. However, this was just not working (for the kids, lol). So, I jumped on desertcart in search of another monitor but wanted something that I could keep with my laptop all the time. Walla, I found the AOC 16” USB powered monitor. Right out of the box I plugged it up (with the provided cable). Windows immediately recognized the new hardware and started searching and downloaded the driver. The only problem was it did not have the proper driver to detect the monitor being in landscape versus portrait and I would have to manually change it. But as soon as I popped in the disc; It updated and worked fine. It is not 1080p, but the picture looks really good. It is clear and crisp and has a lot more depth than what I expected. The provided cable is designed to plug into the USB 3.0 and into a USB 2.0 port to power the monitor. Don’t make the mistake that I did in ordering a second cable. The part that plugs into the monitor is not the same as a mini USB. It is completely different. I assume it is AOC’s design. It also comes with a nice soft feeling sleeve that comes with it for storage. This is pretty cool but not very useful to me. I simply slip it in the extra pocket in my laptop case, when not in use. So far, I have not experience the glitching that others have noted. This product has been a great asset for me when doing school work. I can pull up my e-books on it while I do my work or write an essay my laptop screen. If you are looking for something to help with school or work, this is perfect. Maybe you need to make up a presentation and want to display it to other while you control the slides. There are so many uses for a dual monitor from entertainment to multitasking. This thing is an excellent addition to any computer or laptop.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work on MAC?**
A: Short answer: Yes, with limited functioning. However, you have limited tech skills or limited time do not purchase this item at this time. You will need to know what OS you run, find the driver for the OS. Then you still may have some issues and have to find some work arounds. 
My Experience: I am running macOS Catalina 10.15.2 on a 2017 MacBook Pro. I have to use my apple dongle adapter to power the USB to USB power the monitor (I'll come back to the adapter later). Out of the box when plugged up the screen will flash. I tried downloading some of the recommended drivers however none of them worked. After doing some research I went to https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/macos scrolled down to Latest DisplayLink Software Releases. At this time (01/18/2020) the latest driver is DisplayLink macOS App PREVIEW - Alpha. After installation, macOS may require the DisplayLink system extension to be enabled in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General. Click on Allow and restart the system. At this point you will have to open the application by going to applications folder and launching the Display Link Software. At this point your screen should work if you have a similar set up as I do. 
From this point the screen has run pretty well. However, the rotation has not feature does not work. I have not found a work around for this yet. Multiple people including myself have had issues turning down the brightness of the monitor. The work around I have found for this is downloading https://apps.apple.com/us/app/quickshade/id931571202?mt=12. You will need to use the app to turn down the brightness of both screens then turn up the brightness on your mac to max. The latest issue I've ran into is that the dongle will start to over heat after a few hours and the monitor will begin cutting in and out over and over again. IF you have read this far and you still think this monitor is work your time more power to you. For me its the most robust model I have found for the price. I have recently ordered a USB to type C cord which will eliminate the need for the dongle and allow for greater flex-ability. The USB to USB cord in the box comes is maybe 3ft.  I've gone through all of this and I've had the product for 48 hours.

**Q: Does this work on Linux?**
A: It does not work for me on Ubuntu 18.04.  It's possible that there's a conflict with the Nvidia card as there's a known displaylink/nvidia conflict on linux.  I called AOC directly and they don't offer drivers.  I would look for another option if you're in doubt.

**Q: I lost my USB cord.  Does anyone know what cord I can buy as a replacement?**
A: I previously posted a link to a cord that works, and it still does but figured I would post a further clarification. The requirement for the cable is that it at minimum supports USB C 3.1\3.2 @ 20Gbps for 4K@60Hz video AND at minimum 100W PD to power the monitor. There are many more cables that support these specs than when I posted my first link.

**Q: Is the included case hard and protective or is it simply a dust sleeve? These can be very fragile and need protection when used by travelers**
A: Mine came with a cover (not a sleeve) that serves as the magnetic stand to hold up the monitor and serves as a screen cover as well.  To store away you just simply place it over the screen and it attaches via magnets.  I think it is sturdy enough to protect the screen if you also place it in your computer bag or somewhere else that offers additional protection.  For me it is more than enough since I put it in my computer bag with my laptop and the cover protects the screen itself, which is what you need.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very functional, durability is questionable
*by D***A on August 12, 2014*

I've purchased about eight of these monitors so far to replace an earlier model for users who frequently travel to customer sites and need a second monitor. So far everyone has been very happy with the performance and image quality. It's very light weight, has a solid metal stand and is thin so portability isn't a problem. Three things to note: 1. The neoprene sleeve that is included in the box is pretty thin so while it keeps the monitor frame from minor scratches and bumps it does nothing to protect the actual LCD. It would've been nice if the sleeve was firm on one side to shield objects from applying pressure directly to the LCD panel. Best to add a rigid card or other cover to protect the panel while in the sleeve or buy a laptop bag to give it a little more protection. 2. The USB jack is in a better location than the previous version but is still extremely prone to damage. In fact, I just bought one last week where a user accidentally pulled the USB cord out (possibly dropped it while it was connected) and it has damaged the micro USB 3.0 port on the back of the display causing the display to flicker on and off; essentially e-waste. I might try to solder on a new jack if I can find the right part. The jack itself seems shallow so any micro USB 3.0 cable you plug into it doesn't seem to go all the way in and as a result makes for a loose connection to begin with. To improve the longevity and durability of these monitors, I take a few extra steps to adhere the usb cable with zip ties and tie mounts (need to notch out the tie mounts so the cable sits flush) to the back of the display to minimize the change of the USB port snapping off. Tie mount part number is Startech HC102, under $6 for 100 3. It's better to get the original USB display driver direct from DisplayLink http://www.displaylink.com/ I just bought some 6 inch micro USB cables to permanently affix it to the back of the panel so that users won't need to plug and unplug cables directly into the jack itself. Hopefully, this will keep the LCDs working longer.
