Asus Portable Monitor Reset

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.

Works as advertised when installed in my Asus ChromeBox 5. Had to reset the ChromeBox as per YouTube videos, but aside from that it works flawlessly.

A1 monitor. Built well, Asus. Nothing more to say.

I have not had to reset like I did with the other one

This Cine 5 checked almost all the boxes for my requirements for an external monitor - the Ultra 5 has the extra function buttons that I would like, but at a much higher price than the Cine 5. Everything works as expected, the touchscreen has been very responsive, accurate, and definitely viewable in direct sunlight. It can get warm after a while, but that’s to be expected. The design is well thought out, with a quiet internal blower fan that blows air through a heatsink, but also spreads the heat to its aluminum chassis. The Page OS is so intuitive and fast, I am never waiting to scroll through the different pages I set up with focus assist, false color and waveform for example. I am not a pro videographer, but I do appreciate all the features that make this monitor easy not navigate and use. The only minor issue I had was a frequent request to register the monitor or skip. After an email with customer service, and a factory reset, all is well now. I did have all my configurations saved to an SD card, so after the reset I reloaded the config file and was up and running. My previous SmallHD DP4 still works, but it’s nice to see the progress that has come to the company’s product line over the years. This is a very nice monitor, and I highly recommend it.

One of the best plug and play portable monitors I have used. ASUS should bundle this with their Zenbook duos.
