AOC’s latest might not have the IPS viewing angles of latest tablet offerings or high-end monitors, but this portable 16-inch screen connects — and powers itself — through only one USB port. Priced at $139, the AOC e1649fwu also features a fold-up stand and might be propped up in both portrait and landscape. The 16:9 TFT screen packs 1366×768 resolution, and AOC promises that it won’t immediately suck each of the life from your laptop, though we’ll hold our judgement until we are able to get our hands on one. It can be an incredibly canny addition for your portable office arsenal; it weighs in at a spritely 2.3lbs (slightly below over 1kg) and the 1.4 inch thickness means it might probably squeeze into some (admittedly more capacious) lappie bags . You’ll finally be capable to appear to be you mean business while pluggin’ away for your own private corner at Starbucks after this launches next month.
Fremont, Calif. – September 20, 2011– AOC, the global leader in monitor display technology, announces the smooth and transportable USB Monitor, the final word laptop accessory. The lightweight monitor includes a convenient built-in USB port that receives both power and signal via a single USB cable for plug-and-play connection.
The monitor doesn’t require an influence cord or VGA cable, and is perfect for dual- and multi-monitor setups. In addition to functioning as a long display, the accessory is additionally used for on-the-go presentations. The AOC USB Monitor will be available at major retail chains nationwide in October 2011. The 16-inch model (e1649fwu) will have an MSRP of $139. “The USB Monitor showcases AOC’s dedication to expanding its display offerings and using the latest technologies to come out with innovative and user friendly products,” said Robert Velez, Marketing Manager of AOC. “The USB Monitor is ideal for business presentations, photo frame applications, multiple monitor displays and as a companion monitor for laptop and netbook users who want more out of their computer.”
With the launch of the USB Monitor, AOC continues its commitment to providing the latest in digital display technologies and innovative styling. The 16-inch e1649fwu model also offers impressive image quality with 50,000,00:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio, 5ms response time and 1366 x 786 resolution. A handy built-in Smart Stand pivots out when needed and stores flush against the back of the monitor when not in use. The foldable stand supports both portrait and landscape display.
Because the monitor does not require a power cord or VGA cable, it permits maximum portability while still allowing the display of multiple applications like instant messenger, movie player, gaming and digital picture frame apps. The e1649fwu has a clean and modern aesthetic that is complemented by a black piano-polish finish at the bezel, while a hard glass screen offers superior protection.
One laptop can support multiple USB Monitor connections to create a multi-monitor setup. The USB Monitor is also compatible with desktop PCs. Every AOC monitor is manufactured to meet the most stringent green standards. Along with being mercury free, the packaging for the eco-friendly USB Monitor is made from recycled materials. In addition, AOC’s industry-leading LED display technology allows for an influenceful and crystal clear display while minimizing power consumption.
