When buying a computer, the first thing to consider is the use we are going to give it and the space we have reserved for it. If space is not in short supply and we need to always carry it with us, a laptop is the best option, although the small size of the screen is not the best option in many cases.
If we need to increase the size of our laptop screen, the only feasible option is to use one of the different portable monitors that we can find on the market.
One of the monitor manufacturers that offer the best quality-price ratio on the market is AOC, a manufacturer that has just introduced a new portable monitor 15.6-inch screen, perfect for always carrying around due to its small size and offering practically the same features as the screens on most laptops.
New external monitor from AOC
This new external monitor from AOC is the model 16T3EAa monitor that has, as we have mentioned above, 15.6 inches (39.5 cm), features ultra-slim bezels. It is designed to meet the needs of all types of users, from those who need a screen for presentations, to those who do not have a fixed place to work, including the needs of users whose home does not have space for an external monitor.
The AOC 16T3EA model features a IPS panel with a viewing angle of 178 degrees and Full HD resolution (1920×1080). It weighs just 1.1kg and comes with a carrying case to protect it when travelling. It is 11.5mm thick, so it can even be stored in your laptop backpack (if you have the space to spare).
As for connectivity options, it has support for USB-Cport from which it obtains the energy to operate, so it is advisable to use it when we are charging the equipment if we do not want to run out of battery for a very short time.
The back features a foldable stand that allows the monitor to be placed in vertical or horizontal positionIn addition, it has a motion sensor that automatically rotates the screen based on the position in which we are using it.
The screen brightness reaches 250 nits, which is more than enough brightness to use outdoors without problems to view the content. Outdoors, this level of brightness falls short and it is practically impossible to see the screen clearly.
Price and availability
Unlike other manufacturers who are currently presenting the products they plan to launch during the rest of the year, AOC has announced this monitor with a planned sale date for mid-August.
As for the price, AOC’s new portable monitor will be priced at 149.99 pounds. At the moment, we do not know what the price will be in euros. If we apply the current exchange rate, the price could be around 170 euros, a somewhat high price considering that there are cheaper solutions on the market, but not as versatile as this model.
