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 and editors were not found in the source data; however, Asus marketing and spec-sheet descriptions highlight the monitor's 120 Hz IPS panel, Adaptive-Sync, 99 % sRGB coverage and TÜV-certified eye-care features as strengths, while noting the non-adjustable stand and limited connectivity as drawbacks.
Everyday user feedback is not present in the gathered data, so no concrete praise or complaints can be quoted. The specifications suggest users would likely appreciate the eye-care functions and smooth refresh rate, but might be dissatisfied with the fixed stand and basic audio.
“Perfect accessory for frequent travelers... ultra-slim and lightweight”
