AOC Launches Their 16 Inch USB 2.0 Monitor James White December 14, 2011 Press Release There are just times when you are on the move, and where one monitor is not enough. Or maybe your netbook’s 10 inch screen is just too small to get work done effectively. AOC’s new portable USB 15.6 inch E1649FWU monitor is one answer to that problem. The AOC E1649FWU uses DisplayLink’s virtual graphics drivers to achieve both the signal and power from a single USB port. Before you say a USB port can’t power a monitor this size, this 1366 x 768 60 Hz monitor uses only 8 watts of power. While this is not a secondary monitor for your desktop, it could be a great travel companion to your laptop, netbook, or other portable system. The AOC Portable USB monitor is available through major retail chains in the US at an MSRP of $139. Increased productivity was never this cool till now!
