Not what I was looking for

Great travel add-on
At home, my laptop drives 3 large fixed screens through its docking station. But when I'm on the road, I felt a bit limited just using the laptop screen. After checking out my options, I chose this ASUS model and it's great so far! Size is similar to my laptop's display, brightness is good, almost no setup is required, and it seems well-designed and physically rugged (b...

Love it!
It took me years to think about adding a second screen to my laptop (I use daily), it was reasonably in price, easy to set up and go!

Great second monitor for work projects
Purchased to use as a second monitor when traveling. Thin, light and fits in the laptop case. Easy setup. Like the USB-C connection and ability to view landscape or portrait. Expected a sharper screen and bolder colors as a 1080 IPS panel, but at the price point I paid my expectation was not realistic.

Excellent Monitor for Productivity & Travel
The ASUS ZenScreen 15.6” portable monitor is a game-changer for anyone working on the go. Its slim, lightweight design makes it easy to carry, and the foldable smart case doubles as a sturdy stand. The 1080p resolution delivers crisp visuals, while the anti-glare screen ensures a comfortable viewing experience even in bright settings.

Dear W0rd0fg0d,
Absolutely, this monitor is a good size for portability.
We do understand the inconvenience this may have caused if it doesn't work. This monitor is plug and play. Most likely, the internal battery doesn't have a charge if it doesn't output a video signal. Please leave the monitor connected to the laptop or PC until the internal battery was charged. The monitor's built-in utility software will pop up on the screen, on a cold boot, to show the percent charge of the monitor. Additionally, please check if the video cable is working properly and the monitor was properly selected inside the Display Properties.
Should you need further assistance with the product, please email me at [email protected] and I would be more than happy to help. Or, you are most welcome to call Product Support Hotline at: 1(888) 678-3688. Also, you can chat with an ASUS live support agent from the link: https://www.asus.com/us/support/article/1135/.

Unable to find and download display widget to turn screen. Went to your website and could not find it for this screen size. Why was this not built into the screen software.

Dear Kalanna,
We certainly understand your disappointment and the inconvenience this may have caused if the monitor is not getting any video signal.
To resolve the issue, please check if the PC meets the system requirements of the monitor. If it does meet requirements, please check if the OS, chipset and video drivers for the PC are up to date. Also, install the driver if you are not using a Type C DP alt mode video signal output. The drive is posted at: https://www.asus.com/us/displays-desktops/monitors/zenscreen/zenscreen-mb16ace/helpdesk_download?model2Name=ZenScreen-MB16ACE. Check in the Display properties if the correct output monitor source was setup to the ZenScreen.

Does not work!
This doesn't work because it says I need to install a driver. When I install the new driver it says my driver is up to date. There is no one to call or get in touch with.

Widget/app not opening - Not rotating
I love everything except for some reason my monitor doesn’t always auto-rotate. Last week I had trouble opening the widget to change my screen orientation. I had to uninstall and download again. That helped but now I can’t open the widget again. Annoying.

A Good Monitor at a Good Price
I use an external monitor at home with my MacBook Pro, and realized I needed a portable monitor for working remotely. I researched various models and settled on the Asus ZenScreen MB16ACE and I'm glad I did. It has a good, clear screen, connects effortlessly to the MacBook via the included USB-C cable, and is extremely thin and light. The included case doubles as a stan...

Touring monitor
Perfect screen for on the go. I'm a lighting programmer in theater and this screen helps me turn my laptop into a console in no time at all. No battery life but I knew that going in, powers up via the connection to your laptop. Light weight, and definitely like the fact that it comes with a cover/stand. Highly recommend.
