Review on ASUS ZenScreen MB166C: 15.6" Portable Monitor with Anti Glare Screen, Flicker-Free & Blue Light Filter - Ideal for Productivity and Entertainment by Robert Akers

I would recommend getting the latest drivers directly from DisplayLink.com. In this case, if you want the display orientation to rotate automatically, you need to use the bundled CD (or a newer version of the software available on the ASUS website). when you physically rotate the display. I'm more of a minimalist when it comes to the software I install on my computers so I just installed the drivers and then it works as you would expect. The 1080p resolution and IPS panel make it great, and the brightness is very good, although I haven't tested it outdoors. It's also a lot lighter than you'd expect from something of this size, and the carrying case that doubles as a stand is a nice touch, although I have to admit it took me a second to figure out exactly how to use it sets up. Also note that this will drain your laptop's battery significantly faster if you use it while the laptop is not connected to a charger. There are only two factors holding it back from 5 stars, the first of which isn't entirely this device's fault, but it also has a solution that might be useful to some potential buyers if they care at all: first, while this display works great in most performance cases that don't require changing a lot of screen content at once. DisplayLink-based displays like this aren't ideal for full-screen video, at least when the display is 1080p like this. And I tested it when connected to a PC with fast CPU and GPU via USB 3.0. Please note that what really matters is the resolution of the video content itself, but how much screen real estate it fills. When I watched full-screen sub-1080p video on this display, it sometimes showed a slow-motion effect followed by a fast-forward effect. On average it was in sync with the audio, but this behavior is due to DisplayLink and/or USB 3.0's own compression algorithms, which don't always cope with the task of driving the display when a significant portion of the display area changes from frame to frame. Frame. When I watched the same video on the laptop's built-in panel, it worked perfectly. Again, if you're using this for email, browsing, spreadsheets, or even Photoshop and the like, in that case most of the viewing area is constant from moment to moment, it's perfectly fine - even viewing the same video in the smaller window area of the display worked perfectly. But if this video limitation bothers you AND your system has a USB Type-C connector that supports DisplayPort output (which most do), then consider the ASUS USB-C version called the MB169C+ instead. This model does NOT use DisplayLink compression technology, as USB-C allows the PC to send its own DisplayPort signal, and the display data does not need to be compressed to transmit it via regular USB, means the USB-C version does not have this restriction. The catch is that this model is not backwards compatible with older USB ports, even when using adapters, so it can ONLY be used on USB-C systems that have a DisplayPort output. don't offer a good way to store a USB 3.0 cable, which is an odd omission. Elastic hinges aren't great for the job, so I simply folded the cable, placed it inside the case along the top edge of the display, and then bent the flap of the case to make room for the cable. It didn't fall out of the case, but it's not perfect.
