Extend your vision. Free your world.

ASUS ZenScreenâ„¢ MB16AC is designed to keep you productive, wherever you are. It's the world's first portable monitor with a hybrid-signal solution, which means that it only needs a single USB connector cable to be fully compatible with almost any laptop. With a super-slim 8mm profile, and weighing just 0.78kg, ZenScreen MB16AC is also the world's lightest 15.6-inch companion display monitor.

Hybrid-signal solution: USB Type-A and Type-C support

ZenScreenâ„¢ MB16AC only requires a single USB connection for both power and video transmission from your host device. It features an innovative hybrid-signal solution with native support for USB Type-Câ„¢ (USB-Câ„¢) connections, and uses an installed driver to support USB Type-A connectors for full compatibility. The reversible, any-way-up USB-C design enables quick, hassle-free connection to any device.

ZenScreenâ„¢ MB16AC is ideal for use as a secondary monitor for dual-monitor presentations, and its versatility helps you get things done more efficiently when you're on the go. It barely tips the scales at a lightweight 0.78kg, and with its ultra-slim 8mm profile it fits easily in any travel bag.

Automatic screen orientation

With DisplayWidget software*, ZenScreenâ„¢ MB16AC can automatically sense its orientation and switch the monitor between landscape and portrait modes. Landscape mode is ideal for presentations and Excel sheets, while Portrait mode gives you a perfect view of items such as documents, books or mobile websites. *Driver required.

Wide viewing angles

ZenScreenâ„¢ MB16AC features a Full HD panel that delivers stunning 1920 x 1080 resolution visuals with outstanding color reproduction. It uses IPS technology to give you more flexibility when extending your screen, so you still get superb color and contrast - even from extreme viewing positions.

Foldable smart case

An innovative foldable smart case protects ZenScreenâ„¢ MB16AC from dust and scratches. The case can be folded into a stand to prop the monitor up in either portrait or landscape orientation. ZenScreen MB16AC also has a smart pen hole in the bottom right-hand corner, where you can insert a pen to prop the screen up when not using the smart case.
