ASUS MB16ACV Overview

Expand your display with the MB16ACV ZenScreen 16" 16:9 IPS Portable Monitor from ASUS. This portable monitor connects to your notebook and gives you a secondary display, making this ideal for travelers and those working from home who may have smaller workspaces.

Based off an In-Plane Switching (IPS) panel, the ZenScreen gives you a 1920 x 1080 resolution, 75 Hz refresh rate, 800:1 contrast ratio, and 5 ms response time to produce vivid colorization suitable for work or enjoying streaming content. An integrated kickstand unfolds to provide stability, allowing you to position the ZenScreen horizontally or vertically. The 178° viewing angles and 250 nit brightness ensures you get a clear picture no matter where you position it. Ionic silver finish isn't just for style, as it contains positively charged silver (Ag+) ions that disrupt harmful bacteria, making the ZenScreen an ideal travel companion.

Portable Design
Designed for professionals on the go, the ZenScreen weighs 1.83-pounds and has a depth of 0.4-inches, making it a lightweight and portable solution for travelers. Sporting an integrated kickstand with angle adjustments, you also get a quarter-inch threaded hole on the rear of the ZenScreen, allowing you to attach a tripod or mount for additional height adjustments.
One Cable
Using an innovated hybrid-signal connection protocol, the ZenScreen can operate on just a single USB Type-C cable, reducing the clutter of additional wires and power adapters. Additional downloadable drivers enable you to support USB Type-A connectors, giving optimal compatibility across multiple host devices.
Adjustable Orientation
When paired with the ASUS DisplayWidget software, the ZenScreen can automatically sense its orientation and switch the display between landscape and portrait modes, giving you an enhanced view of various presentations and documents.
Comfort Viewing
The ZenScreen features TUV Rheinland-certified flicker-free and low blue light technologies that provide a comfortable viewing experience. Flicker-free reduces the sudden change in brightness between cycles, while the blue-light filter removes harmful blue lights to reduce eye fatigue.

Monitor starts showing lines after fews month’s use.

Used this as an extended display for my work laptop. Was perfectly fine at first, but started noticing odd lines and colors on the screen. It would come and go, but now it just stays.

Works as expected!

The Zen screen was easy to install, and works great. I do wish it had a few more options on the stand.

Hi, I have 2 questions. Does the screen not need any electrical connection -no power cable? Just the USB C cable? Also, is it possible to connect it to HDMI input via adapter cable?
Asked by: Steingrimur
The ASUS MB16ACV ZenScreen can only work correctly via USBC or USBA connection, and is fully powered this way. Using an HDMI adapter will not work as intended.
