Review: Lightweight and easy to use - ASUS ZenScreen 15.6” (MB166C) - I travel and work from the road frequently. At home I have 2 24" monitors but on the road I was relying only on my 13.5" laptop, which made me less efficient when working with several documents or spreadsheets at the same time. desertcart has many choices, including some brands I have never heard of, at cheaper prices. I went with ASUS because me and my family have had several ASUS laptops all of which have been great. This monitor checks all the boxes for me. At 15.6" it still fits in my travel laptop/electronics bag, it is lightweight and seems well made. The only connection is the included USB-C chord and all I have to do is connect it and the monitor comes to live. The display is great for what I need, spreadsheets, documents, and watching movies/videos. I am not a gamer so I cannot speak to whether this unit would be good for that. The monitor comes with a storage sleeve that folds to double as a stand. It's a simple setup but works for me There are a couple tabs that keep the monitor from sliding off the stand. I did not notice this at first but once I figured it out, I am quite happy with how it works. One thing to keep in mind is that because the laptop feeds power to the monitor, the laptop battery runs out quicker (on my laptop it reduces battery life by about half), so you will need to have your chord and have access to power if you plan to work long hours. Overall, a great buy and I am very happy with it.
Review: Excellent travel monitor for my needs - My job is typical "technical road warrior". Lots of computer time on the road, in hotels, etc. For my use case, this monitor is just right. Being able to run the laptop display and the Asus as the extended desktop makes work so much easier, especially when you're accustomed to having both displays. The case folds up to become the stand. Not the most physically robust stand in the world, but adequate. And more importantly, it's light and compact. Just be sure to get a USB-C 3.2 cable. These will typically say "video" or "4K UHD" in the description. Not all USB-C cables will work. If you get a "no signal detected", it's probably not a defective display, just a USB cable that doesn't support video. My laptop, a Dell Latitude 5490, has Power Delivery on the USB-C port. As I write this review the laptop and the Asus display are running just fine on battery. As others have noted though, the Asus display can ONLY be powered by the USB-C port, so you have to plug it into a device that supports PD. Not having a separate power supply probably keeps the size, weight, and cost down. For me that's important. The brightness is just fine and the screen resolution is excellent. I'm not a gamer so no opinion on how it might work for that purpose. Overall, I recommend this Asus display if you are looking for a compact second monitor to put into the computer bag to help with productivity while on the road.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is the weight really 4.2lbs?**
A: No, 4.2lbs appears to be the shipping weight. The monitor is 1.76lbs (according to ASUS specs). Adding the carrying case and cable it's about 2lbs, all in.

**Q: What is the difference between this and mb168b+? the number increased by 1 to mb169.**
A: The mb168b+ has a WLED/TN Panel, Brightness(Max) : 250 cd/m2, Contrast Ratio (Max) : 600:1The mb169b+ has an IPS Panel, Brightness(Max) : 200 cd/m2, Contrast Ratio (Max) : 700:1In other words, the 169b+ offers a better viewing angle and it is a bit crisper but also a bit duller or less vivid. I guess you can't win 'em all!

**Q: can this be used as a field monitor from a dslr ? Does it have an hdmi input?**
A: You can connect the dslr to a capture carg and then the capture card to it ... I ordered the monitor and waiting for the delevery .. I come back and give you correct answer ..

**Q: does the stand it comes with allow portrait and landscape layout?**
A: Yes.  It isn't a free-standing stand as you'd normally understand it to be - it is merely the carry case where bits at the front fold over to create a 'slot' to hold the screen, either vertically or at a slight slope.  You can do this either way with the screen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Will work for the price
*by D***D on November 10, 2022*

So far, I am so good, and I use it less than 3 to five times per week. I own a cyber security firm we use our computer equipment 24/7. I am moving from a Mac to Dell / Windows because most of my client base is Windows users. So what better way to understand their headache than have them myself? That being said, the monitor is clear and easy to see, connects without issues, is the perfect size to fit in my laptop bag, is lightweight, and the tripod mount on the back is the ideal way to set it up; it is very flexible and sturdy with the right tabletop tripod. The only issue I have, the cable is too thick and stiff, and the ends are too large. Simple fix, right? Well no. I've tried different cables Windows will only detect the monitor using the cable that came with it. This leads me to believe that the large size of the ends is due to an embedded chip—a second issue. The case on the monitor feels very flimsy and plasticky. This may be okay; I am used to the substantial feel of the Mac products' aluminum cases. Even my new Dell mobile workstation is made of solid aluminum as well. And for a mobile device to last miles of travel in a laptop bag, it has to be made well. Time will tell. It is an okay portable monitor. Is it the best? No, not by any means, but I didn't pay $500 for it. Then, would I want to travel with a $500 monitor in my bag? Probably not. Bottom line, for the price, it will get the job done.
