However, with this monitor as long as you have the DisplayLink Driver installed it WILL work. Just as it does on a regular TYPE A USB 3 port which requires DisplayLink driver. I just tested it on my laptop and the extra display came right up! See pic attached....monitor #5 is THIS monitor on a USB Type C port that does NOT have DP capability. 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? 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.

All the models use the same 15.6in 60Hz 1080p IPS panel, too, so you’re not missing out on image quality. Peak brightness isn’t amazing, but you don’t really need a lot of brightness on an office screen. It has excellent viewing angles and the anti-glare coating means reflections are kept to an absolute minimum. It even comes with an orientation sensor so you can use it in portrait mode as well as landscape. That said, install the DisplayLink Driver and you can connect to EITHER USB 3 Type A, or USB 3 Type C (with or without DPort capability) ..as long as DisplayLink driver is installed. 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. Asus provides a three-year warranty for the ZenScreen (MB16ACE), which is typical of mobile-monitor warranties. Performance, Features, Price: A Good BlendThe 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.

In our color testing in Standard mode, the MB16ACE covered 69.8 percent of the sRGB color space, with nearly identical results (69.7 percent) in sRGB mode. (See the chromaticity chart below.). That effectively matches what we saw from the Asus ZenScreen Touch, which hit 69.1 percent of sRGB in Standard mode. Resolution: Ideally, you want a portable monitor with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 or above. This is the standard for most modern portable monitors.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. It has a 15.6in, 60Hz 1080p IPS panel with good viewing angles and an anti-glare, matte finish to keep reflections at bay. And although it doesn’t come with a fully protective folio case, the supplied folding stand can be attached to the front to protect the screen while it’s stowed away.

Even grabbing it with one hand and putting pressure on the screen doesn't seem to bother it (although probably not a good idea) Key specs – Screen size: 15.6in; Resolution: 1,920 x 1,080; Screen technology: IPS; Video inputs: USB-C; Refresh rate: 60Hz; Weight: 824gDesktops, Monitors, Pen drives, Hard drives, Memory cards, Computer accessories, Graphic cards, CPU, Power supplies, Motherboards, Cooling devices, TV cards & Computing Components 15 Days Returnable Colour reproduction is disappointing with sRGB coverage of 57.5% but otherwise, this is a fantastic solution for those who don’t have space for a full-size desktop monitor.
