Get more screen real estate for your presentation
It is one of the
nicest-looking portable USBs that comes with a number of design considerations
that makes it practical
The Asus ZenScreen MB16A
portable monitor is a USB powered display that's designed to make multi-screen
setups for people using laptops feasible.
Having a second screen to
extend your desktop is a great way to improve productivity, but for laptop
owners who might benefit the most from extra screen space that's not always
convenient, especially if you travel a lot.
With the ZenScreen MB16A,
Asus has come up with an attractive device that's easy to carry, and which
makes extending your screen space simple. It is priced at around $340.
Design
The MB16A's dimensions are
36x22.6x0.8cm, making it just a bit bigger than an iPad Pro. If this sounds a
bit on the big side, remember that this is still far more portable than a
standard monitor, and with a weight of 800g it's also comfortable to carry. The
slim bezels at the sides and top of the screen mean the majority of the body can
be occupied by the 15.6-inch screen.
The bottom bezel contains
three buttons -two for navigating the on-screen menu and adjusting the
backlight, plus a power button. On the left side of the body is the MB16A's
only input, a USB Type-C port.
Performance
As the Asus ZenScreen MB16A
derives its power supply and video feed via USB, you should not expect image
quality like expensive standard monitors.The good news is, on the whole, the
ZenScreen MB16A performs admirably, with the IPS panel rendering 1080p content
well.
However, you might need to
make a few tweaks before you are happy with how the display looks. If you find
the brightness to be a bit dark, increase it to 100 per cent. Using the
on-screen menu is simple thanks to the front-facing buttons on the bottom
bezel. While the ZenScreen MB16A looks like a tablet, it's not a touchscreen.
