Review: Read this before purchasing any of the screens. - I've purchased two of these screens now. One of them was sent back. Here's why... First, Asus has multiple completely different screens in one listing here. The different size names correspond to completely different model numbers. Make sure you research each model before purchasing to know what you're getting. I'm a tech contractor that often works from hotels, on the road, on airplanes-etc. I run a Windows work laptop (with a USB-C port) and an older 2015 Retina Macbook Pro (with thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.0 ports). I initially purchased the ASUS MB169C+ due to reviews here, but quickly found that while the screen worked fine on my windows laptop via a USB-C to USB-C cable, connecting it to my Mac with an Anker Powerline USB 3.0 to USB-C cable (as recommended in other reviews here) didn't work. The screen requires too much power to operate on USB 3.0 and you get a flashing white light to signify this when plugging it in to any machine via a USB 3.0 port, which makes it a bit useless unless your laptop has USB-C ports. That screen got sent back to desertcart. I then purchased the ASUS MB16AC, which advertised support for USB-C and USB 3.0. Plugged it in to both my Macbook Pro and my windows laptop with the Anker Powerline USB 3.0 to USB-C cable and it turned on instantly and works perfectly. I didn't use the included USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter due to other issues other users have experienced here with display flicker. The Anker cable worked perfectly the first time round. -BUILD QUALITY- The MB169C+ is a plasticky monitor with a black plastic front bezel that looks like a thin version of a regular desktop monitor. The back is plastic with I assume a faux-brushed metal cover to make it look more high-class. The included stand is badly designed with velcro and fabric tabs to prop the screen up. It doesn't inspire confidence that the screen won't fall over. The MB16AC is built like a premium device. Brushed metal front with a really tiny bezel. The back is brushed metal and feels high quality. The included stand is a well-designed magnetic case that clicks into place reassuringly when you prop the monitor up on it. Both are extremely light and thin. Perfect if you need a large screen available on-the-go. -IMAGE QUALITY- The MB169C+ has a full HD 1080P matte screen, which is good if you work outdoors or in areas with bright lights and glare. The MB16AC has a full HD 1080P gloss screen, but is still visible outdoors quite well. -VALUE FOR MONEY- The MB169C+ might be cheaper than the MB16AC, but it feels less like a rugged portable monitor and more like a panel that's liable to break at any time. The MB16AC however feels like it's well built and will withstand being transported in a bag, rucksack or similar. Additionally, the MB16AC allows connectivity with older non-USB-C monitors with the inclusion of USB 3.0, which is extremely important if your laptop doesn't have any USB-C ports. Out of both screens, I would highly recommend spending the extra money on the MB16AC. Don't waste your time with the MB169C+ unless you really like the look of it's front bezel or you only have USB-C computers and want to save a bit of cash. If you want more information on the other models Asus offers, go to YouTube and watch reviews on them there. This is a good lineup of portable monitors, but they are all significantly different from each other. UPDATE 3 months later and my MB16AC has proven to be an invaluable purchase. Still works perfectly. No dead pixels or connectivity issues. The included origami case has done a good job of protecting it in my rucksack. I'd highly recommend it. Decided to purchase what looked like the newer model with an in-built battery (MB16AHP) to add another screen to my portable setup. That seems to only work on HDMI with my Macbook since the USB port is USB-C only (or if it is USB 3.0, it doesn't seem to like the latest Displaylink drivers). I'm debating returning the MB16AHP and purchasing another MB16AC because the MB16AC simply works whereas connecting the AHP model requires plugging it into HDMI and another USB source to maintain power when the inbuilt monitor battery dies. If you have a USB-C machine and have no need for USB 3.0 support (or want HDMI), get the MB16AHP. If you need USB 3.0 support (and don't care about HDMI or an in-built battery), get the MB16AC
Review: Great for adding an additional screen for working from home - Really great screen. Was needed to add a second screen to a surface pro for working from home, so Wife purchased it and now I’m very jealous. I’ve stolen the study and she’s in the dining room on a smaller table so space is at a premium and the setup needs to be tidied away every evening. The slim bevel and light weight means that it’s possible to put into a tablet holder if you want to put it at eye-line above a laptop. We used a Urbo Adelaar stand which fitted really neatly. The ASUS comes with a magnetic cover that can be folded into different positions to prop up the screen as well so lots of options. Pay attention to the diagrams included in the instructions as they help with how to fold the cover as it feels a little like a little puzzle at first. :) The native connection is USB-C but it came with a USB-C to USB adaptor so was easily to setup and the 1m cable meant its easy to get it to the USB port Build quality and screen qualify is really top notch, great if you need to stare at a screen for a prolonged period.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best bus powered portable monitor on the market - period !
*by L***D on 28 June 2017*

If you are in the market for an ultra light and ultra slim second screen then this screen will be perfectly suited to your needs. I have been looking for a portable second screen for some time. I originally ordered the old version (thicker, heavier and the contrast/sharpness was not great) but after finding out this was due to be released, sent it back. After a long delay ASUS finally released the updated MB16AC. My primary purpose was for extra screen real estate - primarily for spreadsheet work. If you are a multi tasker then more screen estate generally correlates to more productivity - of course excluding the moments while you saviour your screen watching 4k demo videos! My screen arrived with a next day delivery from Scan Computers (via Amazon), the packaging was rather jazzy, almost like an oversized mobile phone box. The accessories included were, The screen itself, an ASUS pen (great marketing follow through, so you can prop up the screen with the pen), a USB A to USB adaptor, a USB C cable and a magnetic multi position flip case. As I handled the the screen on first touch, I was in awe on how well made and beautifully designed the screen was. The screen is extremely thin and light with a gloss glossy finish. I connected the screen to my late 2016 Macbook pro with touch ID and using the supplied USB C cable, the screen was instantly recognised and worked out of the box. The 1080P resolution was sharp and vibrant for a USB powered screen. This was the original attraction for my purchase - connection via a single cable. The pen slot may seem like a novelty factor but my use so far has proved that this feature is remarkably functional - the supplied case/stand whilst multi purpose is heavy due the the magnets that enable the different positions. Pros - Probably the best USB powered screen on the market, beautifully designed and after 3 attempts ASUS have finally got it right - Sharp and crisp display ,1080P resolution, portrait and landscape modes, brightest bus powered monitor - Relatively wide viewing angles - Plug and Play -Thinnest and lightest USB powered display -Compatible with Windows and Mac -A full 15 inch screen with extremely small bezels -Highly configurable menu to adjust screen settings Cons - Expensive - No HDMI (could have flexible uses) - Not as bright as powered monitors - Blue light filter feature unproven if this really actually has any effect on easing strain on eyes (not enough research) - Menu buttons fiddly I will be testing the screen with a HDMI to USB C adaptor to see if a HDMI signal can pass through to display this source - perhaps to power a games console or a Raspberry PI. After reading reviews for too long - I thought I would write my first! A highly recommended purchase.
