To solve this, the DisplayLink software, which can be found in the Windows taskbar, lets you adjust brightness and contrast levels. It’s important to note that by default the device is set to half brightness, which we found to be too dark. In our tests the AOC E1659FWU displayed just 74.3 per cent of the sRGB colour gamut, and we measured brightness levels of 204cd/m2. There are no calibration buttons for the AOC E1659FWU, so you can’t improve the default image. It’s also worth noting that the E1659FWU’s glossy screen can suffer from reflections under bright artificial lights.

While overall quality may be less important when buying a cheap and light portable monitor, it should still be taken into consideration if you plan on using it as a second screen regularly, or even if you want to use it as a device for giving presentations. Unfortunately, TN panels suffer from poor colour accuracy and viewing angles, and this is certainly the case for the AOC E1659FWU. The main advantage of a TN panel is that it’s cheap. That’s a low resolution, but is acceptable for a cheap portable monitor. The TN LCD panel used by the E1659FWU is a 1366x768 affair. If you want to make the E1659FWU a permanent part of your display setup, you can mount the monitor on a wall bracket thanks to its VESA mounts. The stand built into the back of the screen is solid and stays in position once adjusted. Despite being made entirely out of cheap-looking shiny black plastic that attracts unsightly fingerprint marks, the build quality is good. It also comes with a neoprene sleeve for protection, which is a definite bonus.

To work around this limitation, DisplayLink adapters can collect video data from the Mac through a simple USB connection and then send it to multiple monitors.
