ASUS ZenScreen 15.6 Inch Portable Monitor - 1080P, Full HD, IPS, USB Type-C, Eye Care, Kickstand, for Laptop, PC, Phone, Console, Anti-Glare Surface, 3-Year Warranty - MB16ACV

This monitor has exactly one input connection - USB C. It powers the monitor, and does the double duty of accepting the video signal. I absolutely love that it requires no separate power cable. It weighs less than 3 pounds, comes with a slick protective case, outputs 1080p 60hz, and has a ton of display options to boot. As an amazing bonus, the back of the monitor has a 1/4" threaded mounting hole compatible with tripod style stands/arms. It's a dream come true for the minimalist who likes to travel light and keep cables to a minimum. Some caveats you'll have to accept about this monitor: 1) It's a USB display, and accepts 2 different modes: DP alt mode (USB-C to USB-C from a compatible source like thunderbolt), or USB-A to USB-C using a DisplayLink driver. It's not exactly plug and play, unless you're using the right source devices. For example, ChromeOS is fully compatible with both video modes out of the box, no driver downloads required. Base Linux only works with DP alt mode (supposedly there are DisplayLink drivers for Linux, but I was never able to get them working). Windows works with both modes, but requires a driver download if using USB-A to USB-C with DisplayLink. 2) Not every USB-C output port is the same!! This is a lesson I learned specifically from owning this monitor. Thunderbolt ports, and most laptop USB-C ports, will output the native DP alt mode signal required by this monitor. However, a basic USB-C output from your desktop PC is not a thunderbolt port, and will not work with this monitor. In the case of most desktop PCs you'll need to use the 2nd option I described above with DisplayLink drivers. 3) Using multiple of these monitors simultaneously is very finnicky. Especially if using DisplayLink driver mode. I spent more time than I'd like to admit attempting to get 2 of these working from a powered USB hub on my monitor which then connects to my desktop through USB-A and laptop through USB-C. It was a nightmare. One of them would always either turn on and off (not enough power for 2 monitors), or if I got it working the mouse movement was super janky. I ended up changing my goals and using only 1 of these, which works great. 4) Do not buy these for gaming. They are simply not intended for that usage, and you'll notice input lag. These are really intended as "productivity monitors", and not as your MAIN monitor. All of that being said, even with the major troubleshooting issues I described above, I absolutely love these and would recommend 100% for people looking for a minimalist, portable, productivity monitor. There aren't many on the market which are fully powered by USB, and in that niche market you won't find a better solution than this one. I've had 2 of these for a couple years now, and they're still going strong even after travelling on flights with me multiple times. Great little monitors.

Asus is my main stay tech product. This monitor is no exception. I use this monitor as I travel from one side of the USA to the other side. Durable, great resolution and features. Its light & works off my laptop, I even use it in bed. If you needed a monitor like this, I recommend you try this one. You won't be disappointed.

The display monitor exceeds every expectation I had, while remaining cheap, high-quality, and portable. Emphasis should be placed on the portability of this item, as its form factor, being thin and sleek, is complemented by its ability to utilize most devices, power supply, so as to do away with any external power supply outlet plug-in. Additionally, unless extenuating circumstances somehow present themselves, setting up and connecting to the display requires zero external knowledge or guidance. It is also nice that only one USB-C display cable, which is included, Comes equipped with a USB a adapter, therefore making the product accessible to Annie user unless VGA connections are at play (Which, unless you are using very old systems, shouldn’t be a factor). 10 out of 10 product and I would highly recommend it to anyone and would buy again (And in my case, I did buy an additional unit for dual display purposes once I confirmed the product was to my liking).

After other failed attempts at finding a good quality and convenient portable screen, this one takes the cake. I warn against the mounting type, especially the double-screen mounting models, for reasons of overly-large bevels and ridiculous weights. This unit is not only sturdy but durable (it recently went through several plane flights in my carry-on) and comes with a (thin but) useful cloth carrier case. Super user friendly: it was literally plug ‘n play. Zero complaints about latency or lag. Comes with two cables to allow connection via usb c thunderbolts and standard usb C as well. My use was with an M-1 2020 MacBook Air. Perfect fit.

It certainly met my expectations. Picture quality is satisfactory, especially for a travel monitor. It certainly isn’t OLED quality, but it doesn’t have glare, is very easy to set up and is very versatile. Not needing a separate power adapter is an excellent feature for minimizing travel weight.

Great little screen for remote work or temporary settings when you just need a little extra real estate for multitasking. Picture quality is excellent and the ability to use in landscape or portrait is super helpful. The USB C power is nice for eliminating excess cabling. Includes a protective carry case. Only thing I would have have liked is for a small extra pocket on the protective case to keep the accompanying power/display cable together, but otherwise no complaints. Would purchase again!

I was astonished that I could literally just plug this monitor into my device and it worked. Now, I did already have a driver installed for my ancient Macbook as my previous monitor, which was half the price, did require it. That monitor accidentally broke, and I was a bit sad I would have to buy another, because it at least worked, and that seems to be a difficult thing to get in this life these days. I bought this one on a NYT recommendation, and still had my doubts it would work without some driver issues, so my expectations were low. Right out of the box, however, low and behold, I plugged this monitor into my ancient macbook and it worked (note: display link driver was already installed). It also worked automatically on my newer macbook air via the USBc to USBc connector, with no driver installed. So while some features may not work, like the self correcting vertical display, the mere fact the display does work without any issues is a blessing (work could continue - my old display broke on Monday, I had this new display by Thursday thanks to Amazon Prime). Also, for the extra cost, there are extra features. On this new display, compared to my AOC external monitor, which suited me fine, I see the ASUS allows altering the brightness and other elements that were not something I could do with the more inexpensive monitor I had before, so the added cost is justified. Thanks, ASUS, for a nice monitor!

The screen sharpness is fine, but the colors are way off. Would require major adjustments to get colors even close. It's also a bit dim. After using about 6 times, one of the two hinges stayed stuck in the screen and snapped off the plastic back. I was extremely gentle with this thing because that design looked weak from day one. I contacted Asus about it - after several back and forths - never getting the same support person - definitely broken English and never same day - responses from everyone clearly in a different time zone always (received 2-5 AM EDT) - and they screwed up a few times trying to give me my RMA email. They paid to ship it to their California repair center where I was presented with a quote for +$175 for repairs. Not covered by warranty because "customer induced damage". Obviously, I'm not going to pay that, so I got a stupid tablet stand for it now or I use the tripod mount for attaching it. I bought the Asus brand name because I thought they would stand behind their product but - BUYER BEWARE. This thing isn't any better than the $100 screens so save your extra cash and buy one of them - this warranty is useless anyway. Now if I actually do have a warrantable issue, it will be denied because the item has some "customer induced damage" from using the product as you normally would. Very convenient for them and very anti-consumer. I will no longer purchase this brand and I will be advocating against it wherever possible. As soon as I get it back, it's going to eBay.

Facil y rapido de utilizar

It does exactly as stated. Clear high quality screen that helps with portability straight plug and play and easy to use. Definitely a great product. Hope it last!

Notice - I do not game or watch movies, or TV. I only use YouTube for watching fix it videos. So, I have no idea what quality some people are looking for. What I do know is that this little monitor is a dynamite little screen for my purposes. The picture is excellent! The size is astonishingly small and it is as light as a feather. As always, I am satisfied with Asus. They have never let me down yet, and I have been with them for a long time. The price is one of those things that must be considered. I feel it could be a little cheaper, but I am not feeling this is a jip either. For me, it is good value and a solid product. It even comes with a nice little protective case that is leagues better than the one I ordered just for this. It hooks up easy and just works. My phone can even run it too, though it drains the battery pretty quick (Samsung Galaxy S9 and Note 8). The USB C feature is just what I needed and adapting a charing brick in-line with the phone was simple. Just needed an adapter ($10) but now it all runs smoothly. I think most people will be very happy with it too. I am hoping that in the future a wireless, touchscreen model with its own battery pack will become available. Even if wireless isn't an option, a touchscreen with battery would be game changing. Overall, I say go for it. I am pleased and glad I did.

To be honest, I was disappointed in this. I thought it’s gonna be the perfect choice as a 2nd monitor for my gaming PC. The monitor will not connect to the PC if you have a monitor plugged into your graphics card. The monitor can only be plugged in the motherboard. I have bought another cable to transfer the type-C into HDMI but the monitor will not connect at all. Trust me fellas, I have tried every possible way to connect but didn’t succeed.
