Key specs – Screen size: 15.6in; Resolution: 1,920 x 1,080; Screen technology: IPS; Video inputs: Mini-HDMI, USB-C; Refresh rate: 60Hz; Weight (with case): 800g Resolution: Ideally, you want a portable monitor with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 or above. This is the standard for most modern portable monitors.
The Asus MB16ACE connects to your laptop via USB-C or HDMI (both cables and a mains adapter are supplied in the box) and comes with a case that props it up at various angles, a bit like an iPad case. All the models use the same 15.6in 60Hz 1080p IPS panel, too, so you’re not missing out on image quality. Peak brightness isn’t amazing, but you don’t really need a lot of brightness on an office screen. It has excellent viewing angles and the anti-glare coating means reflections are kept to an absolute minimum. It even comes with an orientation sensor so you can use it in portrait mode as well as landscape.Key specs – Screen size: 15.6in; Resolution: 1,920 x 1,080; Screen technology: IPS; Video inputs: USB-C; Refresh rate: 60Hz; Weight: 824g Colour reproduction is disappointing with sRGB coverage of 57.5% but otherwise, this is a fantastic solution for those who don’t have space for a full-size desktop monitor. Normally the USB 3 Type C port on your computer needs to support Video (DisplayPort) or it will not work. The magnetic folio case (which covers the screen and a portion of the rear when closed) doubles as a stand that can be angled at either 105° or 120°. This monitor can also be propped either horizontally or vertically, although you’ll need to install the LG OnScreen Control app to access vertical orientation mode.
Ports: Most modern portable monitors use USB-C for power and video transmission, so if your laptop, PC, smartphone or tablet relies on other forms of connector, you’ll have to take that into account. If not USB-C, the monitor may have microUSB or even mini-HDMI ports for video and power transmission. Portable monitors are usually 14in-17in in size (that’s measured diagonally across the screen). You might want to match the screen size to that of your laptop/tablet, if you’re using one, but otherwise it’s just a question of budget and requirements. Even 17in is small enough to work on the go, however. What other specifications should I look out for? The MB16ACE's single video-input port is located on its left side, near the bottom. It's a USB Type-C port supporting DisplayPort over USB; it can receive data, video, and power from the computer you are using it with. In the box with the ZenScreen is a USB Type-C cable, as well as a USB-C-to-USB-A adapter. (You can run the monitor from a computer's USB 3.0 port, but you will have to install a DisplayLink driver for full compatibility.) Taking a Menu Drivethrough Asus provides a three-year warranty for the ZenScreen (MB16ACE), which is typical of mobile-monitor warranties. Performance, Features, Price: A Good Blend This color chart shows a pattern that's quite similar to most of the mobile monitors PC Labs has tested since late 2018. The ZenScreen Go had slightly better sRGB coverage (72.7 percent), while the ZenScreen Go turned in 69.1 percent. The Asus monitors were better than the AOC I1601FWUX, which covered only 61.4 percent of the sRGB space, and slightly better than the Lepow 15.6-Inch Portable USB-C Monitor, which covered 65.4 percent. The only portable monitor we've tested lately that did substantially better is the Lenovo ThinkVision M14, which covered 97 percent of sRGB. (We generally look for at least 95 percent sRGB coverage in desktop monitors.)However, with this monitor as long as you have the DisplayLink Driver installed it WILL work. Just as it does on a regular TYPE A USB 3 port which requires DisplayLink driver. I just tested it on my laptop and the extra display came right up! See pic attached....monitor #5 is THIS monitor on a USB Type C port that does NOT have DP capability.
Great Deal
