Sleek and portable design ASUS ZenScreen MB16ACV is ideal for life on the road. This sleek portable display weighs just 0.83kg and has a 10.5 mm slim profile, so it fits easily in any travel bag and is ready for productivity, anytime and anywhere.
One cable is all you need ZenScreen MB16ACV uses an innovative USB-C hybrid-signal connection that handles both power and video signals. Its reversible, any-way-up USB-C design allows for quick connections to compatible devices, and there's also a driver that enables support for USB Type-A connectors.
Work in comfort A fold-out kickstand props the monitor up on any flat surface, enabling easy tilt adjustments to ensure comfortable viewing angles and working positions.
Work efficiently in portrait and landscape modes With ASUS DisplayWidget software, ZenScreen MB16ACV can automatically sense its orientation and switch the display between landscape and portrait modes while connected to your laptop. Landscape mode is ideal for presentations and spreadsheets, while Portrait mode gives you a perfect view of items such as documents, books or websites.
Embedded antibacterial treatment to keep you safe A proprietary antibacterial ionic silver treatment embedded in the bezels and rear of ZenScreen MB16ACV offers long-lasting protection, inhibiting up to 99.9% bacterial growth and adhesion to keep key areas of the monitor clean and hygienic. It potentially reduces the spread of harmful bacteria so you can feel safe while working on the go.
Extend your workspace The FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS panel delivers stunning visuals and 178° viewing angles, ensuring you get superb color and contrast even when viewing the screen from off-center positions.

Perfect as a super portable 2nd display for my wandering office setup7/23/2022 4:17:33 PM
Pros: -Super thin, light, and portable
-Decent picture/colours/brightness for the price and compact design.
-The kickstand is pretty slick. It feels secure, doesn't really add any discernable bulk to the frame, and it has a pretty small footprint on my desk when in use, especially in landscape mode. The Auto rotation feature works well once you download the software and drivers for it. I think I remember reading that it has two different viewing angles you can set it at but I didn't play around with that much as it's mostly been on a mount.
-The tripod-style mount point on the back was a specific requirement I had in mind for both models I was considering. It works well with the camera ball head I am using but it's kind of annoying to screw it on and remove it and it makes me nervous threading something into the back of such a thin frame. I'm considering the addition of some sort of quick disconnect hardware I can add to the setup without losing the swivel ability of the camera ball head, but I'm also a bit concerned about blocking the kickstand from folding out when I just wanna use it on a flat surface. There's a semi-circle cutout where the mount point is, but it doesn't leave a ton of clearance room if there's anything I'd like to leave attached for convenience.
-There's both a USB-C and USB-A cables that come with it, which makes it a bit more backwards compatible but I have like 3 of each port and already use more of the A-type, so it doesn't really affect me. Nice to have options though.
Cons: -Ever so slightly heavier than the MB166C - this was my biggest concern and one of the reasons I was torn between the two because this one was borderline at the max weight recommendation for the weakest position on the mount I wanted to use with it with. However, after trying them both it didn't seem to struggle or sag with the weight at all. You can't even really tell the difference by holding them, I was just thinking I'd be safer erring on the side of lightnessif all other things were equal.
-The case for it is just OK. While I appreciate the slim factor - it doesn't feel all that padded so I probably won't be comfortable storing it in my office supplies bin unless I wrap it in some bubble wrap or something for additional protection. It's probably sufficient to throw into a laptop bag though.
Overall Review: I work in Film and Television, so every few weeks when one gig wraps up and I start on something new, I never really know where I'm gonna wind up office space-wise. So I have to be able to pack up my setup into bins and either store it during downtime or haul it to a new place. This can vary from my own office with lots of desk space, to a folding table in a warehouse, to a hotel room coffee table depending on the budget and location. I wanted something super portable that I could easily set up and tear down or attach to a customizable mount system that I can piece together to suit the needs of any space. I mostly need it for clerical and web browsing purposes so I can't speak to more graphics-heavy usages, but so far, I'm a couple of weeks into using it and it's exactly what I was looking for!
Pros: I needed something to travel so I could work remotely while helping a family member who's spouse passed away so that I could have dual screens easily. I won't be gaming on this device or anything but it serves it's purpose of having Outlook/Teams on one screen and other work items on the other. Definitely less lag than using an iPad and Duet Display. Works well with the Windows 11 Prerelease builds as well.
Overall Review: Good portable option. Price a little high.
