The 17.3-inch MyConnect e1759Fwu expands your viewing area with a single cable. The USB 3.0 connection provides super-speed data transfer plus acts as a power supply. This monitor includes a protective case for convenient portability wherever you need a second screen - ideal for meetings as well as entertainment. Smart features like the foldable stand and auto-pivot function make it nearly effortless to use.
At your office, home or on the road, the AOC myConnect series keeps up with the demands of your busy lifestyle. Connect the E1759FWU display to your laptop, tablet or computer with a single cable to instantly expand your viewing area or boost productivity with a second screen. The slim, lightweight 17.3-inch monitor is also designed to go wherever you do – perfect for meetings, presentations and product demos, as well as movies and games. SuperSpeed USB 3.0 offers impressive 5 GB bandwidth for seamless data transfer and excellent picture quality, plus it powers the monitor at the same time. Simply connect your computer or device, position it vertically or horizontally with the foldable stand, and you are ready to go! Installation has never been easier.
Great idea for home workers or you travel a lot and find the single screen on your laptop too limiting. For me, when I'm working from home (couple of days a week usually), I do miss the 2 monitor setup I have in the office.
This allows me to plug one cable into my laptop and have a second 17" screen without needing to power it separately (it gets the video signal AND power through USB).

I'm a software engineer, think some ppl are missing the point of a screen like this. For under a hundred quid, it's given me a second screen while working from home. It will probably have nothing more graphically challenging than SQL Studio or Outlook on it so I didn't need eye popping graphical quality. There are Full HD options out there but nearly double the money for a smaller screen. Still a good deal if you need full HD but if, like me, you don't then it fits the bill perfectly.

Hi, sorry if you thought I was being negative. Using an iPad as a second screen works well for me but I can totally see the benefit of a 17" screen. How do you find the power usage - does it drain your laptop battery really quickly. Voted hot and very tempted - my iPad is suddenly looking a bit small!

I see the point of these but using a tablet as a second display is more flexible? - I use Duet with an iPad connected via USB and it is really good. I know that this setup is +£££££ than this deal but maybe a similar thing could be achieved with a cheaper Windows or Android tablet?

I think if I bought a 17" tablet I wouldn't find it much use as a tablet as it would be too big, so not sure I follow your logic

HEAT!
Great idea, but as usual the R&D teams have missed the boat with
the resolution on this panel.. if it was HD/UHD or higher, a lot more
dual/triple/quad users would want it..
True, AOC do make a Full HD version of this too (in a 16" screen) E1659FWUX but I couldn't find it for sale in the UK. ASUS also make a Full HD one which is available on Amazon but is nearly £80 quid more (http://www.amazon.co.uk/MB169B-15-6-inch-Monitor-Powered-1080p/dp/B013FOMTWE/ref=pd_sim_147_1) and a smaller screen

I agree, but I think this in meant as a second screen for a laptop, in which case you want the same resolution. And 1600x900 is quite common on 17" laptops.

Won't be buying from AOC again, their 4k panel would make a popping sound every now again and also it handled anything under 4k terribly.

Got a "pre-owned" one from Maplin before Xmas. Used a £25 voucher code which brought it down to around £65. Very pleased with it both in price and functionality - using it with my Surface Pro 1 to get some more screen estate on the move

As a service engineer, one of these would be very useful to me. Might see if i can get it on expenses.

I've been looking out for an Asus screen like this and got excited when I saw this but I'd need HD.
Good price for what it is though.

HD is 1280x720 full HD is 1920x1080. This screen is 1600x900 so sits in between HD and Full HD.

No touch screen?
Could have used this as a Raspbery Pi monitor/input device and more if it had a Touch Screen.
Shame!
Great comments about HD too...

I think you might have problems with power supply for the monitor if you used it with pi. AFAIK pj doesn't support USB 3.0 so sends less power through USB and probably not enough for this monitor anyway so I don't see this working with pi in any way except by having external power supply or hub in which case you might just as well go for a standard monitor.
While I agree with you about higher res and size, I am afraid USB wouldn't be able to power such a device (hence why I presume the FHD one has smaller screen). Say UHD screen on 27" would use roughly 20 times more power than this and I believe USB 3.0 is still limited.
I might be wrong though...

If, like me, your eyes are a bit poo this could actually make a windows tablet usable beyond the likes of word droop.
Probably need to add a dock of some sort though.

Just funny now AOC are the biggest in the business, but still cannot see the massive
opportunity for having a large size hd external set up!
Maybe time to get the guts of dell UHD 23/27/30 lcd panel and a display port socket and blow the cobwebs
off the soldering iron to make one ;-)
