USB powered Monitor!

MostWantedSoulRider · Aug 31, 2014

I have never heard about it before until my friend referred me to this online shopping link.

http://www.ebay.in/itm/AOC-15-6-Best-LED-Monitor-16-E1670Sw-for-Computer-Desktop-USB-Powered-/221378463187?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item338b2f45d3

I'm thinking to buy one soon. Is it possible to use it with my R9 270X graphics card?

Darkbreeze · Aug 31, 2014

Which 270x do you have. There are many. Sapphire, ASUS, etc. Model number?

MostWantedSoulRider · Aug 31, 2014

MSI R9 270X OC 2GB

Graphics: 1080 MHz
Memory: 1400 MHz

But I recently overclocked it to -

Graphics: 1160 MHz
Memory: 1410 MHz

But why is this question, bro? Does it really matter for using USB powered monitor?

the usb monitor does not need the graphics card... it will be fine without one. im sure the monitor in question has system requirements, and as long as you meet or exceed them, you will have no problems.

the first link i found, i didnt read much tho....
http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/5956/asus-mb168b-usb-powered-15-6-inch-full-hd-portable-monitor-review/index.html

but yes, in the review, the reviewer used it as a second monitor while playing bf4, so he obviously had a gaming gpu also.

Well, apparently some people had issues. It should work though but it won't work WITH the graphics card it will work IN ADDITION TO it though. Are you planning to use this with a laptop or a desktop? There's been mixed reviews on this unit as well but there is a pretty good article about it at the following link. It's the same even though the model number is different. One is US model, one is overseas model.

Darkbreeze :

agreed. this is extremely attractive to laptop users who might be using battery power since the usb monitors only use a painfully low 5 watts. for a desktop user, even one who wants to move things around, a real monitor is much better.

on top of this, i find the tablets that can now receive monitor signals wirelessly and act as a touchscreen wireless external monitor for another pc based OS much more attractive for many countless reasons.

For sure there are better options. Surprisingly though for a tech driven country like India is they have extremely limited availability of computer and electronics hardware there so he might be limited in his choices. Certainly he can find a better monitor if it's for a desktop setup though for not too much more than that. That's about equal to 75.00 when converted and the US model is about the same so I'd think for 110.00 dollars US he could find a regular monitor that would work better with a desktop.

Darkbreeze :

Tech-wise, yes I'm tad limited but not extreme. If a product is launched in US, it takes some time to get inside my country and also, the tax levied are awfully high. Hence, people in here sometimes import electronic goods from other countries. Also, this is the ONLY USB MONITOR in my country I've found online. This has depressed me a lot. And I had a plan to set this up on my desktop. Since it's not worth/possible to use it with my graphics card, I gave up.

Darkbreeze · Aug 31, 2014

Oh, it's possible and it would work, it just probably isn't the best option for you when for about 1815.45 rupees more you could get a much better monitor than will last you for a while and not break down on you.

MostWantedSoulRider · Aug 31, 2014

Darkbreeze :

I concur. But, 1815.45 rupees LED/LCD monitor is the most cheapest one ever. The least expensive with native 1366*768 resolution monitor costs about 4,500 rupees (70 USD)

Darkbreeze · Aug 31, 2014

No, no. I meant 1815 more than the other monitor. So it would be like around 6315 rupees. Just a guess, not exact.

MostWantedSoulRider · Aug 31, 2014

Oh, lol. Sorry, I misunderstood. My eyes didn't catch "more". And your guess is anyway right, though. The price dwells around INR 6000 for a better monitor.

Ok, good luck with whatever you do my friend. We're always here if you have questions or ever need help. Take care.
