Windows 10: color tuning an AOC monitor

so..I'm trying to tune a new AOC monitor, model E2250Swdn, as when plugged into my laptop I noticed that my taskbar on the new monitor appears to have less blue to it than is presented in the attached image below. looking at the screenshot here that I took on my laptop's screen of my taskbar, could someone perhaps tell me what adjustments I need to make to the monitor? is it color correction, gamma or brightness?

AOC e1659Fwu USB monitor not working with Windows 10

I decided to try replacing the 36-inch AOC USB3 cable with a 14-inch USB3 cable which came with my WD Passport HD on the AOC E1659Fwu USB powered monitor.

The AOC E1659Fwu USB powered monitor now plays 1080p movies. I picked the monitor up and turned it upside down while playing a movie and the connection was lost. When I leave it alone on the desktop, it appears to keep running, for almost a day now.

My working theory is the monitor isn't getting enough operating voltage through the longer cable provided with the monitor, and under high activity draws more current which exacerbates the AOC insufficient drive voltage problem. A shorter cable = less drop,
higher reliability. This seems to match two other cable replacement experiences related in this thread.

I don't know how much current the AOC draws, how much voltage drop there is at my Surface Book USB connector, how much drop through the cable to the AOC monitor.

A much shorter (almost 1/3 the length) USB3 cable does seem to improve the AOC operation with my Surface Book running Windows 10.

 

2nd monitor is not detected

Just purchased AOC portable monitor. Loaded drivers. When I plug the monitor into USB3.0, it flashes on (AOC) and then goes off. There is no on/off button. Using Windows 10. Monitor is not detected. I am not sure what else I must do in order to use
this monitor. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

 

Not sure exactly what you mean, but if the colors appear mute (closing to gray), S (saturation) is the control you are after. More saturation makes the colors more vivid, less saturation makes them less vivid (going to gray at the extreme). Also you could try fixing that from the Intel or nVidia or Catalyst Control Panel (depending on hardware). Go at the monitor color settings and adjust saturation. I don't know for other cards, but in nVidia's Control Panel there is also a "Digital Vibrance" setting. More makes colors vivid, less makes colors mute. I had the opposite problem than you. With default settings (Digital Vibrance 50%) I got oversaturated and unnatural looking colors. If I set Digital Vibrance to 40% I get a perfect image with natural colors.

Note: If you cannot see the graphics control panel, you probably have Microsoft drivers installed. Go to Intel, nVidia or AMD (according to your hardware), download and install latest drivers (OEM). Then you should see the Control Panel by right-clicking on the desktop.
