According to our monitor expert
With the Asus ZenScreen MB16AC portable monitor, you can work with a second screen anytime, anywhere. Flip open the Smartcase to use it as a stand, connect the screen to the USB-C or USB-A 3.0 port of your laptop, and you're ready to work more efficiently. Both the power and image signal are transmitted via the USB-C or USB-A (with drivers) connector, so you don't have to deal with messy cables while you're on the train, in the plane, or at your flex workspace. Thanks to the IPS panel, you can see true-to-life colors from any viewing angle. The monitor can be used both in landscape and in portrait mode, which is convenient when viewing your entire invoice or code block at a glance.

I bought the Asus Zenscreen because I was looking for a solution for a second screen at home, in the student room and in the classroom.
The Asus Zenscreen came out as the best and it has proven that in the meantime.
In addition to the beautiful image, the response time is also a gift to work with. I often read that the screen can be too dark and that you see bad things on it, I have not had any problems with this. In fact, the screen has more backlight than my laptop at full brightness, (in battery mode, though).
The portability of the thing is great, just fold it up and it can go in the bag. The supplied case is of high quality, the magnets that are in it ensure that the case is firmly attached to the screen.
The general build quality of the screen is very clean. When you hold it you feel that you are dealing with a high-end device. The thin bezels around the screen confirm this once again.
I was also very blown away by the plethora of options you can set on the screen, blue filter, special modes.. Everything is there! There is also space to save 5 schedules yourself.
The only point that I have to point out is that an extra button was not a luxury. If you have to go through the menu of the screen, you have to push the button a lot. If you missed you have to do the whole round again.
Short and sweet: Looking for a high-quality portable second screen? Then the Asus Zenscreen MB16AC is what you're looking for.

Reason for purchase: As a web developer/programmer, using a second screen is a must. Now I am sometimes in rooms where it is not possible to use a second screen. Or is there no monitor available. So a portable screen is a great solution for this.
Positive:
Image quality: The image quality of the screen is fantastic for such a thin screen and certainly nice to work with.
Dimensions: The size of the screen is great! Super thin and light. The screen also fits very easily in my bag with my other computer stuff.
Cable: The monitor uses 1 USB-C to USB-C, so you don't need a large power brick to power the screen.
Negative:
cover: The cover works great as protection, but unfortunately it works less great as a standard. In my opinion, the magnets in the case are not strong enough. You only have to tap your screen lightly and your screen almost falls over. A separately adjustable standard that you click on, for example, would be more convenient.
Cable: The supplied cable is very stiff, so difficult to bend it at different angles. This can of course be solved by buying another smoother cable.
Brightness: What you are already told in several reviews is that the screen is not very bright. Now I may have less problems with this than others because it doesn't really bother me but I understand that this can be inconvenient for some.
Buttons(menu): The screen uses 2 simple buttons, with which you can navigate through the menu, unfortunately this is a bit more difficult than expected, as this is quite inconvenient with cooperation of the cover as your cover keeps coming loose from the screen.
Conclusion: I recommend this screen for people who are often "on the move" or often do not have the option to use a second screen. This screen is easy to carry and uses 1 port on your computer.

If you are used to retina, this will of course be disappointing. Okay screen, lightweight, but dark. Certainly not a standout. But if you want to have an extra screen or something like that, the mobility is great.
