New AOC 17 USB Monitor Makes Perfect Laptop or Desktop Companion
New Design: thinner, lighter, and with larger screen to display images at their best with built-in DisplayLink Technology and USB 3.0
Fremont, Calif. October 23, 2014 AOC, a worldwide leader in monitor display technology, today announces the AOC 17 USB Monitor (E1759FWU), powered by DisplayLink Technology. It is ultra lightweight and slim for maximum portability, making it perfect for displaying visuals such as business presentations or adding a second monitor to your desktop for increased productivity. The Mac and PC Compatible USB Monitor is the perfect solution for the frequent traveler who needs to pack multiple displays, as it easily fits into a suitcase and comes with a carrying case. The widescreen monitor receives both power and signal via a single USB cable for plug-and-play connection meaning it does not require a power cord or VGA cable, so you have one less cord to worry about. The monitor also comes with a foldable stand that goes from landscape to portrait view mode with auto-pivot.
USB 3.0 technology achieves high transfer rates with its total of six wires to deliver high quality images. Designed with a piano-black glossy finish, the new USB monitor features a 17.3 diagonally viewable area, 10ms response time, and a 1600 x 900 resolution @60Hz.
The 17 USB Monitor with its foldable flexi-stand is ideal for viewing in landscape or portrait mode. Landscape mode is ideal for presentations and Excel sheets, while the Portrait mode conveniently gives you an easy vertical view of your instant messaging programs, infographics, or search results. This monitor has a unique auto-pivot feature that automatically adjusts the image according to the displays orientation, so you will never have to change settings as you switch between landscape and portrait mode. The AOC USB Monitor is also VESA 75 x 75 mm compliant, allowing you to easily mount the USB monitor to any wall. Multiple USB monitors can also be simultaneously connected to a single laptop or desktop computer to function as a multi-monitor PC or Mac, thanks to the built-in DisplayLink USB graphics. The AOC 17 USB Monitor is available now at Amazon for $199.
