In 2019, ASUS released a portable touch monitor, the MB16AMT. An expanded new edition or an improved sister model seems to be on the agenda. The new Asus MB16AMTR comes with some additional features.
However, this Asus USB-C monitor portable still uses a 15.6-inch IPS panel with full HD resolution (1920 x 1080 pixels), 60 Hz refresh rate, 700:1 contrast, 10-point touch, 5 ms response time (gray to gray), and 250 cd/m² luminance. The horizontal and vertical viewing angles are reduced from 178 to 170 degrees each.
You also have to make do with two internal 1-watt speakers. The built-in battery has an unchanged capacity of 7800 mAh and promises a running time of up to four hours per charge. The selection of interfaces, however, has grown significantly and now consists of two USB-C ports (with DP Alt mode and 10-watt PD), a mini HDMI port, and a headphone output.
The power consumption of the Asus ZenScreen USB Touch MB16AMTR has dropped from 12 to 10 watts. The kickstand on the back now allows the screen to be tilted. The 1.15 kg 1080p USB monitor can be used in either landscape or portrait mode.

Now, excitingly, the Asus ZenScreen Touch MB16AMTR, boasting a 1080p USB C monitor, is finally available. Interestingly, shoppers can find it both on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. Furthermore, this innovative device costs $377.99, offering technology enthusiasts a fantastic deal. Indeed, this marks a great opportunity for those looking to upgrade their tech arsenal.
