Asus has introduced a new portable monitor. The ZenScreen MB169CK is a mobile monitor with tripod support and a removable stand. It is not specifically for video gamers but rather for general tasks.
The ASUS USB-C monitor is a portable device with a screen diagonal of 15.6 inches. The screen resolution is only 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, corresponding to the Full HD standard. The IPS screen comes with a stand that allows for flexible setup and attaches to the monitor’s tripod mount. You can also remove the stand if needed.
The ZenScreen MB169CK can be used horizontally and vertically, and it should also be possible to mount it on a wall. There are two USB ports in Type C; the monitor can also receive image signals via HDMI in a reduced format and a jack socket for audio output. Various settings can be made with the Asus DisplayWidget Center; for example, the contrast and brightness can be adjusted.
