![]() I tried watching some videos with the e1649Fwu to see if I would notice any problems with frame rates. This isn’t a big deal to me, but I thought I’d mention it for anyone that might want to use this monitor for Photoshop work. Regarding colors, I noticed that when looking at my website on my iMac and my website on the AOC, that the Blue background shade on AOC looks more Blue than on the iMac. Text is not quite as sharp and crisp as text on my iMac’s display, but it’s perfectly clear and readable. I haven’t verified this personally though as I don’t have a Windows machine to test. At first I thought this might be a Mac only issue, but apparently you can’t adjust the brightness under Windows either. Note, there is no way to adjust the brightness. The picture is bright and clear, with rich colors. So much for plug and play … This monitor makes a great side display to park my Hootsuite Twitter client. Grrrrr… Off to Google for a quick search and soon learned that I had to download and install a DisplayLink driver. Hmmmm… So I inserted the included driver CD into my iMac and all I found was a Windows driver. Because the box said the AOC was plug and play for PCs and Macs, I went straight to my system design prefs and pressed the detect monitors button. There’s no power cord and no video cable needed. I suppose that if your computer has lower powered ports that you’ll need to use both connectors. All you do is connect one end of the mini USB cable to the connector on the monitor and one of the other ends (it’s a Y cable with 2 connectors) to a powered USB port. Connecting the monitor to your computer (in my case a 27″ iMac) is a no brainer. Supposedly the monitor will detect that it’s been rotated and will automatically turn the image without having to go into the video settings. This is the orientation that I was most looking forward to using. Here we see the monitor in portrait mode. According to the documentation, the viewing angle is Horizontal: 90 Degrees (CR>10), Vertical: 50 Degrees (CR>10). Trying to tilt it up so it’s more of a 90 degree angle just washes out the picture. The angle that it provides is optimal for viewing the best picture. ![]() There really isn’t much in the way of angle customization that you can do with this display. There is just one mini USB connector under the flip out stand. There are no buttons, switches or dials on this device. This monitor has a glossy display, which means you may notice glare and reflection issues depending where you locate it. Although it offers the same maximum resolution as the Lenovo, it has a physically larger footprint and screen size. A quick unboxing revealed a shiny Black monitor with a chromed AOC logo on the front. That was one of my complaints with the Lenovo monitor, that it could not be rotated when using it with a Mac. The box also showed a picture of the monitor in portrait orientation. ![]() Hardware Specifications Panel: TFT Active Matrix LCD, WLED Backlight Viewable Image Size: 15.6″ (16:9) Maximum Resolution: 1366 x768 60Hz Colors Supported: > 16 Million Digital Input: USB Brightness (typical): 200 cd/m2 Contrast Ratio: 500:1 Response Time: 16ms Built-in Stereo Speakers: No ENERGY STAR Compliant: Yes Dimensions / weight: 14.8×9.3×1.4 in / 2.3 lbs Package Contents e1649Fwu LED USB 16″ Monitor USB cable Quick start guide Windows driver CD When I received the AOC e1649Fwu and read the information on the box, I was excited because the box said it was plug and play compatible with PCs and Macs.
