ASUS MB16AC Reviews

Don't know how I lived without

By Peter
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2022-07-04

When traveling, I missed my home office and my multiple monitors. With this, I no longer have to sacrifice! I have more then doubled my efficiency and can accomplish tasks faster from my hotel room . I wish I bought this years ago. Don't hesitate. Buy it now.

Super light, sharp, and convenient.

Was about to succumb to those ugly pull out screens ads on Instagram, but decided to try just a standalone screen. This screen is amazing. Just needs USB-C connection, the stand is a little flimsy, and doesn't tilt where I need it, but I found workarounds by putting it on a tilted book. Colors look good. Makes my WFH setup complete.

great additional screen

I first bought this screen for the road, but it is also really useful as a third screen at the office. Easy set-up and great display quality. Packaging was excellent and shipping was fast.

ZenScreen MB16AC - Game Changer

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.

GREAT PURCHASE

Been using it for a couple weeks now I think. I used it with a MacBook Air M1 2020. Plug and play. Go to display settings and can change to portrait layout works super good for my job! The origami case made me nervous at first, but if you are careful it works pretty well.

Love the portability

No, unless your camera supports video over USB Type C which is unlikely. The ASUS MB16AC 15.6" 16:9 Full HD Portable IPS Monitor BH #ASMB16AC is intended to be used with computers that support Type C DP Alt mode or via USB using displaylink drivers.
