AOC’s 16-Inch USB-C Portable Monitor adds a second portable screen to your laptop wherever you go, giving you extra workspace whether you’re working at home, in a hotel room, in a coffee shop, or in a dorm. The monitor has a 15.6-inch IPS Full HD (1920 x 1080) display with 178-degree viewing angles, and a single USB-C cable carries both video and power from a compatible laptop. The smart cover folds into a stand when you’re ready to begin and protects the screen in your backpack.
A 15.6-inch portable Full HD monitor with USB-C and Mini HDMI
The AOC 16T20 was designed for remote employees, college students, and world travelers who need more screen space but don’t have room for a large desktop monitor. This device features a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display with a 60Hz refresh rate, two USB-C ports, a Mini HDMI port, a 3.5mm audio jack, two 1W speakers, a Low Blue Light function, VESA mounting holes, and a smart cover. All of these features fit into a thin, lightweight package, with the display weighing about 1.5 pounds.
Having a second screen makes using multiple applications simultaneously much easier. For example, you can work on a spreadsheet on your computer while taking notes on the AOC monitor, or watch a video class on the AOC while typing on your laptop. Since this is an IPS panel, there’s very little color shift across the screen, no matter how far off to either side you move. This makes it ideal for presentations where you want to share information with others and look professional while doing so.
Both USB-C ports support video and power. If your laptop allows DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C and power via USB-C, then you only need one cable. If that doesn’t work, you can power the monitor using the secondary USB-C port and connect your HDMI-enabled device, such as a console, to the Mini HDMI port.
For protection against scratches from being tossed around in your backpack, the smart cover wraps around the front of the screen, protecting it until you decide to put it up. Then the cover flips back into place, giving you several viewing positions, depending on what you prefer. For a more stable viewing position, you can remove the cover and mount the display on a VESA-compliant 75 by 75mm bracket.
The dual speakers provide stereo sound and voice chat for meetings and webinars, and you can use the 3.5mm jack to plug in headphones for more privacy. To help prevent eye fatigue during extended work periods, Low Blue Light mode reduces eye strain caused by prolonged exposure to digital screens. AOC’s i-Menu also lets you adjust various menu functions with your mouse.
The AOC 16-Inch USB-C Portable Monitor offers a crisp Full HD IPS screen, versatile connectivity options, and a sturdy adjustable stand. It fits neatly in your laptop bag, letting you expand your screen space wherever you work.
