Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works well, packs well. Includes a separate part for use as a kickstand. Wish kickstand was built in like my last screen had.

Does not work with Xbox but if you’re connecting to your phone it does overall just do your research and you won’t run into issues like I did

Makes working from home more flexible. It allows me to work from any area of my home.

The monitor was marked as excellent, I would have to assume that also means complete with all accessories as noted on the MDL # list of contents. My purchase is missing some contents, was not packed safely for shipping. I will return to the local BB

Would give 5 stars but the USB-C connection had a defect from the beginning that would not allow any USB-C cable to be fully inserted into the monitor. I had to use electrical tape to keep the connection from constantly failing and falling out, but monitor would still randomly disconnect if you touched the cable, monitor, desk, or someone sneezed in the other room. I would have exchanged sooner because of the defect but my job keeps me in the Gulf of Mexico for periods past the exchange date limits. I am having to cash in the 4-year $50 extended warranty I originally purchased with the monitor as a result an original manufacturer defect which sucks. I will write a new review when I get the replacement. Other than that, the monitor looks great when it works!

Very good I like it.. if my friend ask me I will Recommend in this Asur monitor to them.

Useful as a desktop side monitor for always-open applications, like email and the Windows file explorer. This keeps my main screen focused on productivity. In a world of 13 to 14-inch screens, 15.6-inches seems big again. The monitor is lightweight, portable and easy to use with excellent build quality. The matte full HD 1080p screen looks sharp and colors are uniform and pleasing, thanks to the IPS screen (FYI - I didn't have high hopes for any portable monitors, so I'm pleasantly surprised). Some reviews say it doesn't get too bright, but I am using it at only half brightness, and it's fine for my needs (I'm not in direct sunlight or fighting glare). Adjustments can be made using the buttons at the bottom of the monitor, and the onscreen menu system is good, but it's easier to use the optional desktop software (Windows in my case) to make adjustments and to save/switch between settings. This software is a nice perk that I wasn't expecting. The monitor is powered off a USB-C to USB-C cable (included), and Asus also includes a USB-A to USB-C cable adapter (nice touch). If your computer doesn't have a USB-C port, then you will still be able to use this monitor right out of the box; however, you will need to install USB drivers in order to get it working when using USB-A. It's nice to have a single cable for power and video. It keeps my desk from becoming cluttered, and it makes it easier to travel with fewer cables. This monitor does not include a built-in battery, like some of the other Asus ZenScreen portable monitors (so be careful when comparing prices or ordering). On a similar note, this monitor is not touchscreen and doesn't have speakers built-in. Prices go up quickly for these extra features. The stand, which doubles as a protective travel cover, is good. It's a folding leatherette origami style cover/stand with magnetic closure to secure the folded position. Most people use it wrong, and the instructions aren't helpful, so watch YouTube videos for guidance. If you don't like the stand, you are probably folding it incorrectly. By clever design, the stand incorporates two angles - one better for desktop usage (more vertical) and one better for laptop usage (more inclined). If you want more adjustments, you can always get an inexpensive tablet stand. When in landscape mode, the cable is connected to the bottom left side of the monitor (so it's nice to keep this monitor on the right-side of the desk). The stand also allows for portrait mode, which I haven't tried yet. The monitor would have to be oriented so that the USB-C port is at the top (orienting the monitor with the USB-C port at the bottom wouldn't leave enough room between the desk and the port to use the cable). Having the cable connected to the top (in portrait mode) seems like it could be disorganized, top-heavy and unstable. It has what I needed without unnecessary extras to drive up the cost. This monitor is recommended if you want a name brand, no-frills, basic high quality portable monitor at a reasonable price ($100 on sale for me), particularly for desktop use. When considering other offerings from Asus and the amount of non-name brand offerings on similar monitors (with extra perks like speakers, internal batteries and 4k screens) paying more for something better might be worth it to you. Laptop users, in particular, may appreciate extra features, like an internal battery or touchscreen.

Purchased "excellent" condition online. However. As doon as I plugged it in the image bleeded. Feel this should have been tested before marketing as excellent. Lost opportunity to buy new model at a discount. Need to wait for next sale to purchase what I needed yesterday.

Not even 6 months later and it no longer works! The screen went dark while working and would not come back on.

The ASUS ZenScreen 15.6” portable monitor is a game-changer for anyone working on the go. Its slim, lightweight design makes it easy to carry, and the foldable smart case doubles as a sturdy stand. The 1080p resolution delivers crisp visuals, while the anti-glare screen ensures a comfortable viewing experience even in bright settings. I appreciate the USB-C connectivity, which offers hassle-free setup with my laptop. The 60 Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time are perfect for general productivity and light video watching. The ASUS Eye Care feature is a nice touch, reducing strain during long work sessions. A minor downside is the brightness level, which could be a bit higher for outdoor use. Overall, this monitor is fantastic for increasing productivity, and I highly recommend it to professionals and students alike.

The stand is a nightmare. I want to exchange for a normal stand for the screen

Ridiculously breakable, screen concaved from carrying it in my work bag with the cover on it. What’s the point of a portable monitor if it breaks when you carry it around

This has been a great little screen. Currently using it as a screen for my mac mini and it is working really well. The fact that it is portable is a plus. It already came with the usb-c cord which worked for me well, as I'm not planing on using it as a portable. The stand works well, though it could be sturdier making sure it is in the right position can take a minute to ensure the screen is secure. If all you need is a basic screen it does the job well while being lightweight and portable.

This display is not for a Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS3, or Xbox One. There is no display port. No HDMI. No DVI. No VGA. The only connection to this portable display is USB-C. A USB-A to USB-C adapter is included, but using the adapter makes the cable jut out too far from the laptop and the adapter feels loosely connected to the laptop's USB port. I had a spare USB-A to USB-C cable to take care of that; otherwise, you'll need to purchase the cable depending on your use. I bought it for use with a MacBook Air (~2015) only to realize that *that* MacBook Air doesn't have USB-C. Almost returned the display until I saw and read about the USB-A to USB-C adapter alternative. Installed the Asus display driver from https://www.asus.com/us/Monitors/ZenScreen-MB16ACE/HelpDesk_Download/ then plugged the USB cable into the laptop. After a little bit of churning, the ZenScreen showed an extended desktop. There are multiple versions of the driver depending on the macOS. My MacBook Air was still on macOS 10.14.6, so I installed Version 5.2.1. Make sure to expand the list of drivers. For kicks, I also installed the display driver on a Dell Latitude E6440 running Windows 10. Plugged into first USB, no go. After looking at the specs, the E6440 contained USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, so I tried another USB port. Magic.... The ZenScreen display lit up. I was initially disappointed at the lack of versatility of the ZenScreen display...but ONE cable to have a portable display for the MacBook Air or Dell E6440. That's convenient. Don't have to lug around multiple cables for a versatile display. The Asus ZenScreen will now replace a Lepow portable display, which can handle more inputs but also has more cables to maintain and is slightly heavier than the Asus ZenScreen. The only other slight disappointment I have for the ZenScreen is the lack of a protective case-like covering. The Lepow has a nice case which then folds into a display stand. The ZenScreen only provides a magnetic cover that clips on over the display. The magnetic cover when unclipped then doubles as a stand. So, for what it is, the Asus ZenScreen is fine. It doesn't offer what the Lepow display offers, but on sale, it is also 50%+ lesser than the Lepow.

The Asus Zenscreen Portable Monitor is a great choice for both gaming and professional needs. Gamers will appreciate its compatibility with devices like the Steam Deck and various retro handheld consoles, offering an immersive gaming experience with its high-quality display. Professionals can also benefit from using it as a secondary monitor with their laptops, enhancing productivity. In terms of design, the monitor is both lightweight and slim, making it easy to carry around, which is perfect for those who are always on the move. The build quality is sturdy and sleek, ensuring durability without being bulky. However, there are a few drawbacks. One significant downside is the absence of a built-in battery, requiring the monitor to be powered through a single USB-C connection, which could be limiting in situations where there's no power source available. Additionally, while the monitor is a bit on the expensive side, it can be a good investment if found at a discounted price. Lastly, it may have fewer on-board features compared to other portable monitors, but this does not greatly affect its overall performance. Overall, the Asus Zenscreen Portable Monitor is highly recommended for its versatility, portability, and quality, especially if you can get it at a good price. The balance it strikes between gaming and work use, along with its portability and build quality, makes it a standout option in the portable monitor category.

Makes WFM much easier. Love that it is portable so that it is easy to travel with. Great resolution and pretty light to carry around. It also is compact and fits in my laptop case. The laptop automatically connected to my laptop and did not need to install any drives. Comes with a USB cable to link the monitor to the laptop.

I want to start off by saying that the monitor is actually really really good. It is very thin and lightweight. The picture is very crisp and clear, the brightness is terrific for normal use. It display's video content well, games also perform good. As a second monitor, this is a great add on. Just plug it into your laptop/desktop/cell phone/tablets USB-C port and it works. I tried them all and it worked. Why 3 stars? The stand is terrible. When it comes down to using the monitor, and you have issues with it standing up, or getting the right angle, this monitor sucks. I bought it while traveling to Savannah GA, and by the time I returned home, it had to go back. The stand has basically two angles, neither work for me. If you bump the table, the stand fails and the monitor falls down. Just setting it up is a task, and it is frustrating. I do not want to go into more details, but if ASUS would have put more thought into the design and just put an adjustable kickstand on it, this would be a terrific monitor, I can't give it more than 3 stars for the stupid stand.

Exactly what I was looking for! The weight is fantastic and the foldable stand/screen protector is genius. This goes into my laptop case and I barely notice it's there. Great quality for viewing the monitor outside, although I didn't look into this specifically. The stand is a little weird to figure out, but once figured out, it's such a nice design. I haven't noticed unplugged laptop power much affected, in any case I can use outside or where ever without the laptop being plugged in for a good long while. Not a touch screen but OK with that. This was cheaper on Amazon but who knows where you are getting it from there, plus I have BestBuy protection which made the extra cost worth it. The GeekSquad is always there for me, and any problems, I know there is a great warranty. Thanks Best Buy!

I was looking for something i could travel with since i work remotely and this is perfect. plugs right in and extends my screen. I love it so much. light weight and the case cover acts as a stand then. this is the perfect screen - just what I needed

I am very happy with the screen itself, the only issue I have is with the stand. I love that the cover turns into a stand so I don't have to carry a separate item but it is just confusing to set up. You have to fold it a certain way and I always forget how to do this corretly. (I don't use this screen everyday). But it is super easy to power up and down. And the screen is clear and sharp. I would purchase this again.
