Thanks for the previous answer, I now see the spec. Since there are (2) USB-C ports, and since old desktop only has USB-A, could I transmit video only via USB-A to USB-C cable into one USB-C port, and power using transformer into second USB-C port? Thanks
Answered by ASUS AnswersUnfortunately no, USB-A cannot transmit video, you would need either a USB-C cable or mini HDMI cable to transmit video with this monitor.
I want to use this with an old desktop that has only USB-A out. Will this work with a USB-A to USB-C cable?
Answered by ASUS AnswersThe ASUS ZenScreen MB16FC cannot be used with a USB‑A to USB‑C cable. It requires a USB‑C connection with DisplayPort Alt Mode to deliver both video and power.
My laptop only has a regular HDMI port for video output. Is this ok?
Answered by ASUS AnswersYes, it is okay to use this ZenScreen (MB16C) monitor with a regular HDMI laptop port. You must use a Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable for the display signal and a separate USB-C power adapter plugged into the monitor's second USB-C port for power since regular HDMI ports transmit video only and cannot supply power.
can you use this with the mac mini m4
Answered by ASUS AnswersThe ASUS ZenScreen MB16FC portable monitor is fully compatible with the Mac mini M4. It connects via USB‑C (DP Alt Mode) or Mini HDMI.
HDMI does not provide power; does the MB16FC include a power adapter?
Answered by ASUS AnswersThe ASUS ZenScreen MB16FC does not include a separate power adapter. It is powered directly through its USB‑C port, which carries both video and power when connected to a compatible device.
