Review: Really good - but failed within a year - Updated Feb ‘21. After just under 1year of weekday use the screen failed and I couldn’t turn it on. Worked fine on a Friday, dead on Monday. desertcart customer services were absolutely superb and arranged a replacement without hesitation. It is however a superb concept and the screen is great while it’s working and works well taking power and data via USB-C. I've been using my screen for a few months now. I've bought the model of screen that comes with USB-C and Micro-HDMI and it's been working really well with both a HP Windows Laptop and a MacBook Pro 2018 (both using USB-C). I've also had it working with an old MS SurfacePro 3 via an adapter cable to send the signal into the micro-HDMI input, and that worked well too. The case that comes with the screen is fine - it's portable and functional but you can't adjust the tilt angle and of course there is no height adjustment. It's fine as supplied to sit next to a laptop on a desk and that's obviously it's intended purpose. I've been using mine for a couple of months now and with my laptop now on a laptop riser I've had to put my ZenScreen setup on top of an desertcart box to give it some height. It would be really great if Asus could offer some kind of holder to allow the screen to be raised and tilted but no criticism of Asus because this is intended to be a portable screen and for that purpose it excels. I've had absolutely no problems with the brightness of the screen which is consistent with my laptop setting. I've also had no problems charging the screen via the USB-C connection - the HP laptop does sometimes display a warning that it may not have enough power to charge the screen but I've always ignored that and the screen has remained fully charged at 100% - and I've been using it all day, every day, for a couple of months now. Other than my observation that this could benefit from some kind of desktop holder, this has been a really good screen with no problems at all.
Review: Portable excellent quality monitors powered via USB-C (~8W/monitor) that work on a 20W USB HUB - Excellent monitors - have been connecting 3 of them to my MacBook Air M1 2020 via mains powered Kensington UH7000C USB 3.0 7-Port Charging Hub (5V 4A = 20W shared across 7 USB-A ports) which somehow manages to power them up even though average 8W per monitor is required (24W total). The setup is very portable and the only improvement that I would make is to add a USB-C hub that can PD power both my host device (MacBook Air) as well as provide 3 x USB ports with a minimum 24W shared power (an additional USB port would be freed up of my MacBook if hub's PD passthrough could power up my laptop while charging 3 monitors). However, I could not find such a USB hub yet and have to live with the current set up that still works but requires two power outlets for two chargers. I have had Levono micro USB powered monitors before but the quality and resolution of these ones is heaven and would not look back. I also got a central portable stand for to locate one of the monitors right above my laptop's screen :)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the mb16acv version come with a carry case or anything to protect the front of the screen?**
A: The monitor comes with a magnetic fold over cover but it's not very secure especially if your carrying it around, so I keep mine in a laptop carry case. Mine is mainly used as monitor for my s21 phone in dex mode with keyboard and mouse.  Occasionally use it for laptop extended monitor.

**Q: Can this be powered via usb to plug and hdmi to screen at the same time?**
A: Please find video for your disposal. Display do not have HDMI-connectivity. Only USB-A / UCB-C / Thunderrbolt or UCB-C altmode or Display link connectivity from your laptop. No external power needed.

**Q: Is this compatible with a macbook pro 2019? i ordered the mb169c and it wasn't so i wanted to double check this one before i order it.**
A: Same here - I'm connected via USB-C from a MacBookPro 2018 to my ZenScreen and it works really well. I also use the screen a lot with a HP laptop via its USB-C connector and it works well too. Been using my ZenScreen for months now without any problems.

**Q: Will it work with a mobile or tablet android?**
A: It worked with my s20 ultra

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good portable monitor with clear display
*by J***A on 14 December 2025*

This portable monitor worked well for my needs. The picture quality was clear and the USB C connection made it easy to set up. Lightweight and compact design is great for travel. I ended up returning it only because I needed a larger screen size for my specific setup.
