Turning On An Asus Portable Monitor

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.

Asus has really stepped up their game. The ROG gladius III is turning out to be one of my favorite gaming mice. You can adjust the polling rate up to 1000 Hz and up to 36,000 DPI which is insane! They also ship with grip tape which is high quality. Highly recommended!

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

5 stars! Stable and very easy to adjust level with slider on.

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

I moved up from an ASUS 27in 1080 Monitor to this LG 32 QHD monitor with the adjustable stand. I like to watch movies and sports as well as do photographs. This does a good job on all that I want to do. I am using the display port with a Video card on a Dell XPS Desktop. Stand takes much less room on this monitor than the ASUS. Adjustments much easier also. So far love everything about this monitor.
