Great Portable Monitor
Sometimes there is a need for a good portable monitor, usually for those who have laptops. Having a dedicated portable monitor that can be carried with your laptop is great for times where you need to have a second display connected, whether it be for showing off video or images, or even just as an extended desktop work area on the computer. Most monitors, however, are not made with portability in mind, especially the much larger models that are over 20 inches in size, so it is rare to come across a model that is.
The ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC 15.6" Portable Eye Care Monitor is one that was made to be portable. This monitor includes a 16:9 aspect ratio with the Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, ensuring that you have a Full HD workspace.

The monitor can connect to your laptop using the USB Type-C as well as Type-A, although you will need the DisplayLInk driver in order for it to work with Type-A. It even includes the USB Type-C to Type-A adapter, so you don't need to make a separate purchase for this functionality.
Protect Your Eyes
The portability of this monitor is hardly the only feature that it has. Included in its vast feature set is the ASUS Eye Care technology, which utllizes the TUV Rheinland-certified flicker-free backlighting along with a blue light filter to minimize eye strain while using the monitor, especially during long work sessions.

What Is an ASUS Monitor?
It is nearly impossible nowadays to find a person who hasn't used a computer before. Although most people aren't computer experts, they generally do know the main components of a computer. A monitor is one of those main components, the one that is responsible for displaying video that is output by the computer.
Long ago, almost all computer monitors were CRTs (Cathode Ray Tube), but within the last 10 years, those types of monitors have virtually disappeared and have been replaced by displays based on LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) technology. This has allowed monitors to become much slimmer than before, while having displays much larger than what was possible with CRTs. However, LCD technology has had some drawbacks in comparison to CRTs, most notably in their response time and color reproduction. Despite this, those issues have recently been adequately addressed by many of the advanced technologies that are now found in many high-end monitors.
ASUS has added to their reputation as one of the most well-known computer parts manufacturers in the world with a line of high-quality, high-performance monitors. If you are looking for more ASUS products, then take a look at our reviews of the best ASUS Chromebooks.
What Features to Compare
ASUS is known for making exceptional quality computer components, and their monitors are no exception. When buying one of their monitors, you can be assured of getting a great quality product. However, not all of their monitors are the same, as they make different models to fill different needs. Knowing what features and capabilities you need in a monitor will help you determine which model to buy. Below are some of the different characteristics that you should know in order to buy the best ASUS monitor for your needs.
Screen Size
One of the most important characteristics to be aware of is the screen size. Generally, most people would like to have as large of a screen as possible, although this isn't always practical in some situations. The different ASUS monitor models all have different screen sizes, so knowing which size you want will help you determine which model to buy.
Resolution
Another very important characteristic is the resolution of the monitor. All of their current models have a standard HD resolution of 1920 x 1080, but some of their models have even higher resolutions, with some being as high as 4K resolution or higher. Some of the smaller models will probably just be the standard HD resolution, but those who wish for more screen real estate, or a sharper image, may want to go for one with a higher resolution.
Panel Type
The panel type of a monitor is another characteristic that you should be aware of, as the different types of panels most often have advantages and drawbacks in comparison to others. The three main panel types that you will encounter are IPS, VA, and TN, which are all based on LCD technology. IPS displays are usually the ones with the best color reproduction, but have slower response times and are more expensive. TN displays are often thinner and cheaper, whereas VA panels are a great middle ground between the two other panel types.
Response Time
The response time of a monitor is an important characteristic for those who are often dealing with real-time graphics, especially gamers. The lower the response time, the faster the screen represents changes that are happening in the game, so those with the lowest response time are generally the best types of monitors for gamers.
Ports
The ports included in a monitor are very important, as they will dictate how you will be able to connect the monitor to your computer. Most of the models include HDMI and DisplayPort ports at a minimum, while some other models will include other types as well. Some of them will even include extra ports, such as USB ports, allowing the monitor to act as a USB hub for your computer. Of the biggest importance, though, is making sure that your computer has a video output port that can connect to the model you purchase.
