Incidentally, we thought that at least with this Pivot Driver the monitor should now be able to recognise when it’s pivoted automatically, but no such luck.ĪOC's i-Menu should let you change settings without using the display's OSD.Īnd after all this, it appeared AOC’s i-Menu still had no idea there was an AOC monitor hooked up to our machine. rar compressed file so off we had to go for the freeware 7-Zip to be able to extract it, as Windows does not natively do this. Unlike the other packages, which downloaded as Zip files, this one was a. Selecting the file called “Driver” actually downloaded a file called Pivot Driver, which would be nice to put on the website as its name instead. Thinking this might be due to the driver not being installed, we popped back onto the website.
With i-Menu, you can adjust a variety of monitor settings through the app rather than directly on your monitor however, it simply would not recognise the connected AOC monitor, only the test-laptop’s own display. We tried i-Menu first, hoping it would let us by-pass the finicky OSD controls and actually use some presets. Admittedly you don’t actually need any of these for the AOC I1601FWUX to work, since it’s a plug-and-play device, but they can sure make life a little easier – or at least, they probably would if they worked… Like on the CD, you’ll find a User Guide and driver, along with i-Menu, E-Saver and Screen+ software packages. And just to save you some hassle, we’re providing the link right here. As is so often the case, the answer is to pop on to the US website. Nor does it help much that trying to find the appropriate software and drivers for its I1601FWUX on AOC’s official website is like locating a needle in a haystack – at least on the global or European versions. While we guess a memory stick might have added too much cost, at least the quick start guide should have given the specific link where the included software could actually be found, rather than just pointing the user towards the generic AOC.com. It seems a tad bizarre to include a CD with a brand-new product requiring, by its physical connectivity, a very recent laptop that is incredibly unlikely to come with an optical disc drive and therefore the ability to read said CD.
