Who each one is for
The AOC I1601FWUX is the one to take for buyers wanting a name-brand portable monitor at a mid-range price and travelers prioritizing thin, light builds, though it is not the pick for gamers wanting high refresh rate and buyers needing a built-in battery. The Dell C1422H suits Dell laptop owners wanting matching build and warranty and business travelers prioritizing brightness for bright rooms, though it is the wrong buy for photo or video editors needing wide color gamut and anyone wanting touch input. Our rating of the AOC I1601FWUX (7.3/10): one of the thinnest, lightest 15.6-inch portable monitors around, from a brand with real panel-making pedigree. Our rating of the Dell C1422H (7/10): A bright, well-supported 14-inch portable monitor let down only by its narrower color gamut.
