AOC has just announced new portable USB monitor, it’s sixteen inches in size so I’m not sure I would call it portable but I guess it still is. The monitor uses DisplayLink tech over a USB 3.0 interface and features a resolution of 1366×768 @60Hz. The monitor has an MSRP of $139 and yes that includes carrying case, and it’s up for pre-order right now on Amazon.

AOC, the worldwide leader in display technology, and DisplayLink®, the leading provider of USB Graphics technology, announce the new AOC E1659FWU, a sleek and portable 16-inch monitor that receives both power and signal through a single USB 3.0 cable. The monitor easily connects to laptop and desktop computers to provide a quick, simple solution for dual monitor setups, which can increase productivity by up to 50 percent. Using DisplayLink technology, the AOC 16-inch USB 3.0 Monitor provides portable convenience allowing users to benefit from a second display in the office or home, at meetings and in hotel rooms. The monitor can be easily used almost anywhere – from coffee shops to trains – with the added benefit of not needing to carry heavy AC adapters and power plugs.

Compatible with both Mac and PC, the USB 3.0 Monitor has a 15.6” viewing window that supports 1366×768 resolution at 60Hz. The slim piano black, highly portable monitor is almost 13mm thinner than the previous model and easily converts from landscape to portrait view using its secure, foldable metallic stand. Powered by DisplayLink’s USB 3.0 silicon and software, the E1659FWU allows for seamless usability via a single USB cable with increased bandwidth and power. The E1659FWU comes with its own monitor carry case for complete flexibility when traveling and easily fits in most notebook bags. Set to ship in August, the E1659FWU monitor is now available for pre-sale at Amazon.com for $139 MSRP.

In addition to being ideal for dual monitor setups on-the-go, the E1659FWU allows users to present easily in public meeting spots such as coffee shops by extending a smaller laptop’s screen onto the 15.6” display, eliminating the need to gather around one screen. The monitor can also be used for digital photo frame applications.

Every AOC monitor is manufactured to meet the most stringent green standards. Along with being mercury free, AOC’s industry-leading LED display technology allows for a powerful and crystal clear display while minimizing energy consumption.
