ASUS ZenScreen 22” (21.5 viewable) 1080P Portable Monitor (MB229CF) – Full HD, IPS, 100Hz, USB-C PD 60W, Speakers, Carrying Handle, Kickstand, C-clamp Arm, Partition Hook, Subwoofer, 3 yr Warranty

I tried two other portable monitors from competitors in a similar price range, and this ASUS ZenScreen is hands down the best one. The stand is excellent - it allows for different viewing angles and is very versatile for various setups. The brightness is decent and works well for my needs. I use it daily with my MacBook Pro and honestly don't feel much difference from the built-in display - the picture quality is great. My only wish is that it came in 4K, but I understand that would likely increase the price significantly. I really appreciate that it comes with a protective cover - great for portability. Though I wish the cover was built-in rather than separate, it still does the job well. Overall, highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable portable monitor!

About a year ago, a customer support rep from a company I work with was raving about the "portable monitors" her team had acquired. I remember being intrigued by the concept but I'd yet to encounter an application for such a thing -- both my home and on-site offices were already equipped with full-sized, dual screens. However, since then, my wife and I acquired a travel trailer, out of which I plan to work remotely on occasion. I started thinking about using the trailer's onboard HD TV as a second monitor but it's really too far away from my workspace to serve as a 2nd monitor. I then thought of hauling and extra, full-sized monitor along but the work to set it up, tear it down and find storage space seemed to outweigh the benefit. Then I remembered that conversation last year about portable monitors .... The ZenScreen seemed to garner good reviews, and I've been happy with other Asus products I've purchased in the past. Mine arrived yesterday and I gotta' say that I'm rightly impressed. I'm not sure why you'd want to consider the larger models as those seem to fly in the face of portability. But the 16" model (15.6" viewable) is lightweight and small enough to coexist with a laptop in most computer bags. Setup is fast and easy – a quick-connect kickstand allows you to place the display right next to your laptop at the perfect angle. Power and video are simultaneously delivered via a single USB C connection. And brightness, contrast and image quality really exceeded my expectations. My local Target store has a similar Asus 16" ZenScreen for twice the price. The performance specs seem identical to this one. The only difference seems to be that it has an integrated folding stand verses the screw-on "kickstand." While the integrated stand seemed a bit more convenient, it didn't look as sturdy (especially when propping up the display in portrait mode) and I couldn't justify twice the price. Obviously, I have not yet had enough time to speak to the long-term reliability of this product. I'll be sure to edit this review in the future if I encounter any issues. However, this Asus backs the ZenScreen with a 3-year warranty and, as I said, the company has a good reputation for quality. So far, I enthusiastically recommend the ZenDesk portable display for those who travel with a laptop and have the need for dual displays.

Happened to be in Taipei during the Computex Electronics show and saw this new ZenScreen on the show floor at the ASUS booth. Was so immediately blown away by the road warrior practicality of it that I ordered one from Amazon right then on the show floor. Then later when I got back to the hotel room I ordered another one (why stop at two? My MacBook Pro has 4 USB C ports!). Have had the ZenScreens for a couple days now and I love them. Can't wait to hit the road again so I can put them to work in hotel rooms, coffee shops, etc. The work flow I've developed works best on a 3 monitor setup, which I have in my home office, but I always lose that when I travel and am confined to laptop. So being able to take my workflow with me now and have all my dashboards setup on additional displays the way I need to is a godsend. Overall, I find this one of the most oddly practical and magical "accessories" to come out for a long time. Blows my mind that the ZenScreen gets both power and video from the same cable. That you don't have to find additional power outlets to plug it in makes it so much more practical. Also find it amazing that a phone can power the display (plugged it into a Galaxy S8 and the screen powered on and got video - doesn't work with all phones though). Also love that it just gets detected as a display, so you can set it up how you want to - landscape or portrait. The screens are big and I think deceptively lightweight for just how big they are. I like that you can avoid lugging around the covers/stands if you want to save some weight and just rely on a pen (included!) to prop up the displays. Since getting them I've already had half a dozen friends and work colleagues pick one up.

The screen quality is crisp and bright, and the portability makes it perfect for travel or dual-screen work on the go. Setup with USB-C is simple and reliable. However, the build feels a bit delicate, so you need to handle it carefully. Overall, a useful portable monitor with a slightly fragile feel.

Work seamlessly. Just plug-in and go.

The monitor has good build quality. Plug and play, no issues in connectivity using Type C cable. Works equally well with USB A cable when drivers are installed. Very portable being lightweight. The color reproduction is not great but good enough for general use as an extended display.

I purchased this product as I travel a lot and needed a second monitor when using my laptop. The dual mode input is a great advantage as it increases the compatibility to include all laptops with a USB port, without requiring the additional input. The size and weight make it great for travelling, fitting easily into my existing laptop case. I would definitely buy again, and am considering a second to provide me with a third screen option.

If you're sitting on the fence on whether to pay the premium for an ASUS zenscreen or save a few bucks and settle for one of those cheaper OEM alternatives, I'd highly recommend you to just get the ASUS. I too, went for the cheaper ones, and ended up hating the quality and returning them. This model from ASUS works as advertised - build quality is fantastic, screen quality and color are also much better compared to the cheaper OEM models.
