AOC e1649Fwu

With the AOC e1649Fwu ($139 list) you're no longer limited to just a laptop screen while traveling. This 15.6-inch portable monitor lets you extend your current laptop display for use with large spreadsheets, or you can use it for presentations or in a dual monitor setup to display different applications on each screen. Its swiveling support arm lets you use it in portrait or landscape mode, and it has an auto-pivot feature that automatically changes the screen orientation when you rotate the panel. It's a bit bulkier than the Lenovo ThinkVision LT1421 ($199.99 list, 4 stars) however, and its glossy coating and cabinet showcase every fingerprint smudge. At 2.3 pounds the featherweight e1649Fwu weighs exactly the same as Lenovo's 14-inch LT1421 even though it offers a bigger screen size. However, at 1.4 inches it's almost twice as thick as the LT1421 (0.37- 0.85-inches) and its curved cabinet design is not as sleek looking as the LT1421's ThinkVision design. The cabinet is 9.2-inches high and 14.6-inches wide, and has a glossy piano black finish, which looks nice when it's clean but can quickly become a smudgy mess after handling it for a while.
