Key specs – Screen size: 15.6in; Resolution: 1,920 x 1,080; Screen technology: IPS; Video inputs: USB-C; Refresh rate: 60Hz; Weight: 824g Perfect. Highly recommend this little monitor. It goes perfectly with my QuadStation Traveler laptop (google it) and i use 2 of them with my laptop.
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.I've been using this USB monitor for around 10 months and I love it! I use it with a MacBook Pro 16" and the size of this display is just similar enough to where it looks almost pretty much the same as my primary screen. Granted, the resolution is lower and the only way to control brightness is through the hardware buttons which could be easier to use. The protective outer shell is a bit confusing to figure out at first but once you do it's easy to use. So it has support for both USB 3 Type C and USB Type A. Comes with 2 x USB Type C cables. It comes with a USB 3 Type C Female to USB 3 Type A Male ADAPTER. Works great.
Asus provides a three-year warranty for the ZenScreen (MB16ACE), which is typical of mobile-monitor warranties. Performance, Features, Price: A Good Blend 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 main menu has eight items, identified by icons. The first one, called Splendid, actually opens a submenu showing eight picture modes: Standard, sRGB, Scenery, Theater, Game, Night View, Reading, and Darkroom. The second, Blue Light Filter, lets you choose among four levels of blue-light reduction for reducing eyestrain, particularly at night—or you can leave it off. The third, Color, lets you control color temperature and saturation but also brightness and contrast. Next is Image, which controls sharpness, aspect ratio, and more. The fifth item, System Setup, lets you control settings like Auto Rotation (so the text or image on the screen is right side up in landscape or portrait orientation), Eco Mode, and Language. The sixth, Shortcut, jumps you to widely used settings like Brightness. The next item is MyFavorite, which lets you set, save, and access favorite settings. The final item is Exit, which lets you leave the menu. 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.) The dilemma i always had with the previous version MB169B+ was finding a laptop with 2 x USB 3.0 ports. not as easy as you think. But they always have at least one, and now one x USB Type C.
As with the Asus, don’t expect professional-grade colour accuracy here. The screen only covers 52.9% of the sRGB colour gamut and peak brightness is a mere 203cd/m². However, images look punchy and crisp and it does the job in an unfussy way. The MB16ACE's crimped color-gamut coverage translated, in our photo and video testing, to slightly dull colors, particularly reds and purples. Overall, this issue shouldn't affect the MB16ACE's use as a business monitor, and it's okay for light entertainment use. But it's not a good choice for videophiles or photo editors, who would do better with the Lenovo ThinkVision M14 despite its smaller screen. The panel itself is an older TFT IPS number but it’s pretty good, delivering decent colours and colour accuracy when tested. It’s bright enough for most use cases but might struggle with direct sunlight. On the whole, though, using the PM161Q was a perfectly pleasant experience, and given the mid-range price tag and the feature set, it’s hard to ignore.
