AOC Announces 16-inch USB-C Monitor (I1601FWUX)
AOC, a worldwide leader in monitor display technology, today announces the AOC 16" class USB-C Monitor (I1601FWUX), with ultra-slim IPS panel for extreme portability. The USB-C monitor is slim and lightweight to be easily used on-the-go. The widescreen monitor receives both power and signal via a single USB-C cable for plug-and-play connectivity. It does not require a dedicated power cord or VGA cable, and comes with a foldable flexi-stand for maximum flexibility. This makes it perfect for accountants working at a client's office or a road warrior working from his hotel room. It is available now at Amazon for $199 (MSRP).
Designed with a piano-black glossy finish, this USB-C monitor has a 15.6" display with a 700:1 contrast ratio, 5ms response time and a full HD resolution at 60Hz. The IPS panel provides wide viewing angles and has better color uniformity than TN panels. The USB-C monitor also utilizes AOC's LowBlue Mode. Through the software, the monitor decreases harmful blue light by controlling color temperature while keeping the vivid color. At 15.6 inches and about 1.81lbs, the monitor is extremely portable. Its small form factor makes it perfect for business presentations, travelling or dual-monitor setups on-the-go. It easily fits into a backpack or its own included carrying case.USB Type-C technology allows for bi-directional power and reversible plug orientation since both ends of the cable are the same. Additionally, it can plug in "upside down" since it will work any way you plug it in.
The 16" USB Monitor with its foldable flexi-stand is perfect for viewing in landscape or portrait mode. Landscape mode is ideal for presentations and spreadsheets, while the Portrait mode conveniently gives you an easy vertical view of your instant messaging programs, infographics, or search results. This monitor has a unique auto-pivot feature that automatically adjusts the image according to the display's orientation, so you will never have to change settings as you switch between landscape and portrait mode.

I'm a PLC programmer and I'm always on the move and more often then not I need to have at least one VM open on my laptop plus whatever I'm using to program that day and probably some excel files and stuff.
An extra screen to plug in the laptop when I'm around would be great because switching from one program to the other is painful if like me you need to keep an eye on two things ad the same time...
Now if my laptop actually had a usb-c port that would be so awesome but my Lenovo Y50-70 is a bit old now...
sadface...
This is an improvement having 1920x1080 IPS.
Perfect for anyone with laptop that needs extra screen for work.
Also, it's only 8W panel, and looking at the spec I can safely guess that it may be bus-powered (Power Source: PC USB 5V). And that kickstand is also a display cover, just like on tablets (but bigger).
