ASUSZenScreen 15.6” 1080P Portable Monitor (MB16ACV) - Full HD, IPS, Eye Care, Flicker Free, Blue Light Filter, Kickstand, USB-C Power Delivery, for Laptop, PC, Phone, Console

This product was sent to me by a colleague. Being the nerd I am, I compared it to some other types I saw on Amazon. I wound up getting a different one that attached to the laptop like an awkward one-armed hug from your cousin who doesn't know how much deodorant to put on. Just like that cousin, I had to send it back because I couldn't stand it, and bought this one. 12/10.This thing is amazing; I love that it's simple to use: one cord which makes it compatible with my laptop and a sleek case to carry it in. Also, the fact that I can use it horizontally or vertically is a game changer for me. As a teacher, having a second screen is so helpful, and this makes the times I need to take marking home so much easier.

I'm always a bit a skeptic when it comes to electronics, but using a new ASUS Vivobook after my home PC died and being limited to one screen was a drag. I saw this one and took a chance. OMG! The screen is lightweight, ridiculously easy to set up and the display is beautiful. No image degradation when viewed from an angle, the built-in stand is handy, and with the included HDMI to Mini HDMI and power adapter, you can connect an Xbox or other source if you want to make your game system portable. I've even tried it out by hooking it to my Motorola 5G Stylus 2023 to watch movies. Hooked to a USB-C from a laptop, it gets its power from the connection using only one cable. Top it all off, the ASUS Vivobook and the new auxiliary monitor fit in my laptop bag with room left over where my old laptop had to squeeze in. Amazing piece of tech for the price.

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.

This screen has better clarity than my Lenova laptop, definitely! I'd rather use this screen only! It's lightweight, comes in it's own protective case, and comes with all the cables necessary to connect.

Works well and just used it at a meeting when i needed a separate screen to manage another interface. Easy to use and tilt works well as well as viewing quality. Nice monitor. Good screensize. Would recommend. Only thing is the lack of touchscreen functionality

I can't believe I didn't know these monitors existed! I work from home and have a docking station and dual monitors, but also have to travel on business a lot and working on just my laptop from hotel rooms is not ideal for me. I came across this monitor and am so glad I bought it! It is great being able to have a 2nd monitor now to complement my laptop. Because it fold flat and came with a protective sleeve makes it easy to carry with my in my laptop bag.

Ditto to ShoppingLover89's review from Aug 29 2024. Literally exact same experience.The kickstand on this product broke approximately four months into 1-3 times / week of usage. There was no incident or excessive force; we went to use it, and it simply broke. It now no longer works as a kickstand, so we have no way of propping up the monitor unless you use another object. I was transferred from various chat departments to phone departments. I spent over an hour on the phone with them and was told that someone will follow up with me. I finally received an email refusing to provide any support saying "as per our warranty policy any physical damage on the unit will not be cover by the warranty".This flimsy plastic hinge is clearly a defect in manufacturing, and should most certainly be remedied by the manufacturer. They also have a misleading advertisement that says the device is covered by a three year warranty, but no where in the product listing to the mention that the hinge is not covered!!Otherwise the monitor works great, but Asus should certainly be responsible for remedying the defective hinge!
