Absolute rubbish. Can't use it at all.

If the monitor works, it's good. It could be brighter but overall ok. I bought it because of the tripod feature over other cheaper options. However, after a few uses (maybe 5) the screen went black and wouldn't turn on again. I sent it to Asus for warranty work and got it back only to have the same problem after one use. I'll post it again but not sure if it will fix the problem.

Not for mobile use: my review

Not recommended. As mentioned by others, the screen shattered without any noticeable impact while being transported in an ASUS monitor case. It can be assumed that it was just a slight twisting of the monitor housing. Other monitors do not have this design problem. Little did I know I had to purchase an additional warranty to cover this type of damage. So if you think you need this monitor, be sure to purchase this extended warranty. Still, it's pretty cheeky to pay extra for a poorly designed…

Disappointed, problem with HDMI output

I think they have poor quality control. The HDMI seemed to have issues with the monitor output over the included cable. It was either a cable or port issue. Be sure to add this to the list of quality control issues with stuck pixel comments. Sometimes this worked after moving the cable until it was ok. This was an issue when it came to the durability of the connectors on this top-of-the-line cost monitor. However, what I had didn't have any stuck pixels as others have reported. I haven't tried…

Ideal for working and playing remotely

Great portable monitor for travel and leisure. The picture quality is excellent and there are several ports for various cable connections. The sound quality on the monitor is poor, but you most likely have the sound turned off. It turns off to charge between uses

The solution to the problem that hotel TVs offer.

I live life on the streets and in hotels. If you're tired of motion interpolation, input lag, and constant volume boost, this is the product for you. Hotel TVs are arguably the worst thing that can happen to gaming on the go, and if you have very little time to relax, this monitor is the best it can be. It's lightweight, moves well and is a very practical solution for a console or laptop display. The 244Hz refresh is crisp and reliable, and the speakers are loud enough that you might even…

It did not last long

I liked the monitor while it was working about a month after receiving it.1. The latch that holds the stand in the extended position no longer works, causing the monitor to fall off during use.2. The screen stopped connecting to my MacBook Pro. Tried multiple USB-C and each port on each machine. Worked so smoothly that one day nothing happened.3. The battery is now falling like a stone. I usually use it at home so it was nice to have a battery, but to see it drop to zero minutes after…

Broke after 3 months of use

All in all a very good monitor. ThinLight Good tripod to set up Has a good built in battery (doesn't last long in use but that's not the point) However it broke after 3 months of use. It just stopped showing the picture. Shows the loading process, shows a splash screen on startup, but nothing else. Sent back to Asus for repair. But given the comments I've seen since purchasing it, this is a common problem.

Expensive but worth it

Pricey compared to full-size displays, but this is the best travel monitor you can buy. Gorgeous colors and viewing angles with an IPS panel, a 240Hz refresh rate, and the ability to use gsync with a USBC connection on your RTX card. The included stand is very convenient and works well. Also comes pre-calibrated in SRGB mode, looks almost identical to my hardware calibrated 27" IPS monitor.

Don't buy - run! Fragile as an egg, wearable in name only.

First negative review in over ten years of using Revain. I have used this product as a backup monitor at home and as a secondary monitor at the office. Hence, the portability aspect of this monitor was attractive. I carried this monitor in the bag it came in and the other computer bag contained my MacBook Pro (separated by dividers). Used three times, then see above. I'm 50 years old, I don't throw it in the back seat after school, I throw it between bars. I literally walked from my desk to…

Good monitor in my opinion

The monitor has good picture quality and is easy to transport. The battery needs to be charged to use the screen even when plugged in. This means that after many years, when the battery dies, the monitor is likely to become unusable.

Great portable monitor

i love this shop I put it in my backpack and take it to work every day. Super wearable. I wish it could carry power and video (I'd be willing to sacrifice refresh rate) over a single cable. But as it is, it meets my needs. Very happy. I wish the stand could be rotated to portrait mode.

Fell on a table and broke completely due to a poorly designed magnetic base. This is the worst ASUS product I have ever had to buy and I have been buying ASUS computers for 8 years now. I will never buy a monitor again. The monitor does not turn on when power is applied, input and HDMI connection. Since purchase, the monitor refuses to turn on at least 50% of the time. It does not recognize an HDMI connection with a new cable. I will be purchasing more cables as ASUS may have sent a defective…

I bought this monitor to connect to my phone to display mobile games and watch movies. Battery life is just over 3 hours with heavy use, and the screen colors look great. It's expensive, but if you have the extra money, it's worth it.

Absolutely terrible. Not recommended for the SFFpc community

TL; DR: Won't charge, won't recognize HDMI and all ports are either bad or just plain broken. I ordered this for my upcoming Lan event and it is absolutely horrible. I plugged it into my GPU's HDMI port and it turned on fine, but it wasn't recognized. I thought the cable was defective and replaced it to test my theory - NO. I continued with this and checked, maybe it's starch. Yes, it doesn't even charge. USB-C won't even plug into the charging port.

Beautiful but expensive in my opinion.

If you need an extra travel monitor, this is definitely a good choice. So far there are no problems. The only reason I didn't give 4 stars is the low price.

Stops working after 4 days

The ROG hardware is still great, but the build quality has slipped when it comes to the ports on this monitor. I did notice that the connectors seemed a little substandard for a ROG and later found that the battery stopped charging after 4 days of use. The design and portability of this monitor is exceptional, but many people have had instances where the monitor would not work shortly after purchasing it, and from time to time it would come back and be able to use it again after the battery was

Not worth the money.

The monitor I received had backlight bleeding in the bottom two corners of the screen. It's quite annoying to see when the screen goes dark or you have a dark desktop background. If you try to place this monitor over the screen of your laptop, there are some problems. The stand, while nice, isn't high enough to elevate the monitor above most laptops without supporting it and moving the laptop screen further back, which creates a second issue with the stand; it takes up a huge amount of desktop…

Fantastic monitor! until it breaks

I really liked this monitor. I'm a software engineer and only used this monitor for a short while while traveling. Text is super sharp and crisp. You can stare at the anti-glare screen for hours. Menus are easy to navigate (important for regularly changing screen brightness/contrast). The tripod is very stable and brings the monitor to eye level. Worked great for 3 weeks. Then it broke and wouldn't turn on again. I will come back and update after receiving a replacement.
