AOC E1659FWU USB Monitor not working

[fusion76]

Hey folks. I recently purchased an AOC E1659FWU to use as an auxiliary monitor for my Dell E5540 laptop. I can’t seem to get it to work. I installed the latest drivers from here: LINK and Windows 10 sees it as a usb device named “EasySuite” for whatever reason. The version of Windows I am running is Windows 10 version 1803 (build 17134.112). Any help here would be greatly appreciated!! I forgot to add that I tried it on a different machine with the same results.

That monitor does not get favorable reviews on Amazon:

Could just be a bad unit out of the box.

Did you enable multiple display on your laptop?

I think it's Fn+F8

Yeah, I saw the bad reviews but it seemed like most were related to the USB port and people knocking it loose.

Thanks for the suggestion sdifox. I tried that but I’m afraid it didn’t work. Also, sorry for the late replies, for some reason I’m not getting email notifications when I get replies.

Wait, it's usb powered? Did you try it with a powered usb hub? Like a usb hub with a power supply?

Looks like it depends on software driver to make it work. Maybe grab new drivers from aoc website and reinstall
