The ASUS ProArt PA248QV is a 24.1-inch 16:10 IPS display providing 100% sRGB and Rec.709 coverage with 75 Hz Adaptive-Sync and built-in speakers for creative tasks. Its limited 1920 × 1200 resolution and lack of HDR reduce its appeal for high-resolution or HDR-intensive workflows. Suited for photographers and designers seeking accurate colour on a budget.

The AOC e1659Fwu is a 15.6-inch ultra-slim portable monitor powered via a single USB-C cable, offering basic 1366×768 resolution.

Professional reviewers commend the e1659Fwu for its ultra-slim, lightweight chassis and the convenience of a single USB-3.0 cable that powers and drives the display. They also like the flexible stand and VESA mount, but consistently criticize the modest 1366×768 resolution, limited brightness and narrow viewing angles of the TN panel, noting that it is best suited for basic productivity rather than media-intensive tasks.
Everyday users echo the portability praise, often noting that the monitor fits easily in a laptop bag and works with a simple plug-and-play USB connection. Common themes include appreciation for the portrait mode and flexible stand, while recurring complaints focus on dim brightness in bright environments, low resolution for text-heavy work, and occasional driver hassles on macOS.

Professional reviewers consistently commend the PA248QV for its out-of-the-box color fidelity, thanks to Calman verification and full sRGB/Rec.709 coverage, and for the practical ProArt software suite that streamlines calibration. They also appreciate the 75 Hz Adaptive-Sync panel and the generous connectivity, especially the built-in USB hub. Criticisms focus on the modest 1920 × 1200 resolution, limited brightness, and the absence of advanced ergonomics or HDR support, which keep the monitor positioned as a budget-oriented creative tool rather than a high-end workstation.
Everyday users praise the monitor's accurate colors, eye-care features, and the convenience of multiple ports, noting it delivers professional-grade performance at a reasonable price. Common concerns revolve around the non-4K resolution, which some feel reduces sharpness, and the lack of clear ergonomic adjustments, leading a few to wish for more height or tilt options.
