Asus Portable Monitor Not Working With Surface Pro

Awesome, great, trustworthy product, the only issue with the Asus portable monitor is 3 hour battery lifespan...

I needed a compact, simple, high-quality, secondary display to sit beside my main monitor. I very much wanted a portable monitor, but not to actually carry around with me, just not an ordinary display with the clutter of power cord/stand/etc. It will mostly be sitting in one place, but the nature of my work involves frequent changes to all the hardware connected to my system, so a degree of portability is great. What I also didn't really want was the usual origami case/cover/stand that comes with most portable monitors. I think they're great, but just not right for this particular usage. Before the Lenovo I tried an Asus Zenscreen, which was pretty awesome, but had a battery (great for true portable use!) but wouldn't power-up if the battery needed charging, which is a hassle I don't need. The Asus also had an HDMI input, which the Lenovo lacks, and also built-in speakers (if I recall correctly). Again, for true portable use, the speakers are almost a must-have, so for some people the Lenovo won't fit the bill. The lack of HDMI support is a little disappointing, for sure, but even though I would have made use of it, it also wasn't a deal breaker (for me). So, yes, if all you need is the display, and your computer/device supports video over USB-C, this is a great option. Minor gripe is the straight plug and length of the supplied USB-C cable. A right-angled plug and another foot or so of length would have been much better. I had to buy a separate cable, and (as I discovered the hard way!) not many USB-C cables support the alt mode of Displayport-over-USB, and the correct cable wasn't cheap! For me, in this particular scenario, this Lenovo is pretty much perfect. For some people it may be a little too basic, so for those people I'd say try the Asus.

The Asus ZenScreen MB16AC is a light, portable, easy to use monitor that has changed the way I work for the better. The screen is easy to use and does not require an additional power source. You connect it to your computer via a USB-C cord, download a driver and it is ready to go. I use a MacBook Pro and it works seamlessly. I love the monitor. Don't know how I have worked all these years without one.

This ASUS portable monitor works great. Easy to setup. Its a perfect solution for going between home & office where there isn't a dual monitor solution needed for looking at different documents and workbooks.

The ASUS OLED MQ16AH is a phenomenal portable monitor which renders beautiful imagery with fantastic color accuracy. Perfect for when home or traveling, this monitor is lightweight and occupies very little space. Standard buttons on the monitor allow tuning various display settings. A handy shortcut button was also made available to switch between the pre-configured display presets or customizable to perform some other function. Connecting to the monitor was effortless using either of the two included cables, USB-C to USB-C or USB-C to MINI-HDMI. The bezel around the panel was minimal and unobtrusive. The colors are colorful and vibrant. Lightweight and portable. And for extended control and flexibility, the monitor is mountable on a small tripod. Overall, the ASUS OLED MQ16AH is a fantastic, utilitarian portable monitor offering many features in a small, compact design.

Very versatile in the field, and folds down to a very portable size. Wish it had a larger working surface, but that would sacrifice portablilty...a good compromise.

This monitor was a purchase to complement my new M1 MacMini machine. Working with graphics, I needed a monitor that could calibrate accurately. This monitor was pre-certified to have the colour calibrated out-of-the-box. I checked with my own calibrator - and yes, the monitor was ready to go without any adjusting. Amazing. Thank You ASUS. My review was prompted by an email from ASUS requesting that I write up a first-person review of my experience - in exchange, they are extending my Warranty by a little bit.

extremely thin and portable monitor to be used as a secondary monitor on your macbook pro!

I have a compact desk with little surface working space. The setup for two monitors was accomplished with traditional monitor stands that can with the monitors. This lacked efficiency and reduced the usable desktop space. The Gabor dual-monitor desktop mount offered a great alternative for mounting. Easy and fast install with little interruption.

I needed this particular cable type to connect my mid-2010 MacBook Pro with an ASUS HD monitor. This was one of the few that wasn't 6' or longer. This is just right for me. It works perfectly. You can buy cheaper elsewhere, but I trust B&H and I also how quickly it (and the monitor) were delivered.
