ASUS ZenScreen 15.6” 1080P Portable USB Monitor (MB16ACE) - Full HD (1920 x 1080), IPS, USB Type-C, Eye Care, Anti-Glare Surface, Lite Smart Case, External screen for laptop, 3-Year Warranty,Dark Gray

Amazing 2nd monitor, I've travelled so much with it to use it as a 2nd monitor....as well as used it as a 3rd monitor in my home set up. It's powered from the computer, so no other power source needed. It's mostly screen with a half inch perimeter...The only thing I would improve is to give it a better mounting capability if it is to be used as a permanent fixture. But for travel, it's perfect. The travel sleeve case turns into its stand and it works just fantastically. When Looking at the screen, the USB attachment port is on the left. and it attaches USB to your computer, so you'll need to have usb ports available.

I've gotten completely dependent on having a 35" monitor and my 13" laptop monitor as real estate when working. I often have three windows viewing between them. I'm much less efficient when I'm on the road and just using that 13" monitor. So I'm really excited to bring this monitor on my next trip.I'm giving 5 stars now with fully using, but unless something goes wrong with quality, I can already tell this is what I was looking for. It's compact and light enough for me to throw in luggage and even though it's long it fits in my work pack. The main negative reviews seem to be compatibility issues. But I plugged the monitor into my Lenovo X1 ThinPad USB-C port, turned on the power and my computer immediately read the monitor and set it up to extend my desktop. Picture quality seems fine, but I'm using this for documents so I'm not too concerned.Only little things I'd fix? The cover it comes with is cool, but it's like a complicated origami to set it up as a stand. There must be an easier way. Once you get it, you get it, but it took a bit of time. Also, there is a sticker on the back that left a really gummy residue. It took me a while to get that off. Maybe it was meant to be kept on there for some reason? But I hate stickers on my stuff.

I'm a software developer and really needed a second display that was portable. This is a great portable monitor for this price point. It's definitely not the cheapest out there, but it compensates with its good build quality, colors, brightness and great warranty (just make sure to buy it from Amazon or ASUS as the retailer to get the 3 year warranty!).I also like that it can be attached to a stand that can make it like a regular monitor, which helps with keeping a good posture. The stand for the monitor in the attached picture was bought separately, but it is worth mentioning that this monitor can be used that way too.

Great monitor overall:-IPS, matte display-16.7M colors (many have only 260k)-144hz (definitely smoother)-Good stand and good overall build quality for the price-1/4" threaded mount - perfect for mounting with a tablet/camera mount---The weird part:For some reason, the brightness would only go to 100% with ONLY ONE cable I found around my house.The cable I had was just a normal USB-A - USB-C cable (don't remember where I got it from).Tried the supplied USB-C cable: plugged into the wall outlet and my PC's USB-C ports as well but no success (brightness goes to 60% at most).Tried other cables I had laying around - 6 different cables - with/without adapters; in the wall outlet; in the USB-C port (including the one with DP mode); USB 3.2 ports - nothing worked.I'm still baffled: only one particular cable allowed me to turn the brightness up to 100% and it works from the wall outlet and even from a power bank. No other cable works.*Yes, I had the driver installed from Asus's website. All of my other drivers were up to date as well.Interesting.

Pretty impressed with this out of the box. Good size, good brightness, good picture, light weight. The mounting thread is money as you can prop it on a mini-tripod.NOTE ON GETTING FULL BRIGHTNESS: Quirk i noticed is you won't get the full 500 nits if you're connecting to laptop via USB-C, even with the display simultaneously plugged into a wall charger. At least with my Macbook, the only way to get full brightness was connecting via HDMI (For my Macbook M1 that meant using USB-C-to-HDMI cable). Apparently when it's plugged into USB-C it prioritizes that as the power source instead of the wall charger, which isn't enough juice to go full brightness, but with HDMI connection it will use the charger as power source and go into full power mode.
