What customers say about "Features"

ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC Full HD IPS Monitor

Easy to use adjustment settings directly on the device.
Sturdy and low-profile magnetic cover very similar to the covers you can get for Android tablets and iPads.
Solid metal/plastic construction.
Smart design makes this display very portable and flexible.
Doesn't have the ability to auto-rotate on MacOS.

ASUS MB169B+ Full HD IPS Monitor

It's perfect picture/color and sleek design.
The carrying case/stand is good for carrying.
It's great so far! It's got all the features i need and was easy to get set up.
Plastic bezel is flimsy and feels cheap.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC Full HD IPS Monitor

Power and image over USB-C, no need for a power-brick.
The first USB-C monitor that I've tried that worked without a hitch.
The USB Type-C was nice and i like how things are all matching that port.
Doesn't support HDMI input on the device.
A USB-C port on both sides would have made it more flexible in any tight coffee-shop or travel scenario.

ASUS MB169B+ Full HD IPS Monitor

I'm simply impressed. I connected it to my MS Book and it was literally plug and use.
Great monitor! Nice to only have one USB cord for both power and connection!
Connection cable/port is flimsy and it takes multiple disconnects and reconnects to finally get my Surface to recognize it.
USB connection on monitor should have had a better design so to not extend straight out.
The USB connection on the screen feels like the weak point.
