ZenScreen Ink MB14AHD

Honestly, the Surface Pen only pairs with MPP screens, so you’ll want to search for “MPP 2.0” or “Microsoft Pen Protocol” in the specs. Aside from the Asus Zenscreen Ink, mainstream options are basically zero right now. A cheap workaround is a small Bluetooth drawing tablet plus any portable display. alternatives

I mounted basically this but at a \~12.3in (1920x720) size off center above my UW, entirely just to have Discord on (UW is an OLED). It's pretty fuckin great. I also dropped a 14in Asus Zenscreen (technically a "portable" monitor" dead center underneath on my desk, to use for watching twitch streams or movies/shows while playing games. Great setup. I'll probably never go back to having a full size secondary screen on my home setup unless I move somewhere with like an entire dedicated office space with more room.

I have the 14” one and I guess they are similar. USB C to C is for and only for DP Alt mode. When I connect it to my desktop, I need to use USB A to C and it’s actually in DisplayLink mode. I don’t like this mode but since I have no DP Alt on my desktop that’s the only option I have.

During COVID, my work gave us a few hundred to improve our home office that we could keep even if we left the company. I got one of the Asus zenscreen things, like a laptop in a sense but is touch, micro HDMI, and USB c (dp). I use it on my Chromebook, regular laptop, and even my mobile devices. heck, I even played consoles on it! Only thing that somewhat annoys me is that it's only 1080p60 but I can't really complain since it was cheap as it was just over the max budget my work gave so I had to pay for what was over. If I had the same opportunity today, I would get a similar style (builtin battery/truly portable) but I would focus more on the resolution, even if I had to go with some random Amazon brand. Don't get me wrong, I do love that it's touch+name brand but I feel it would be better for me if it had a larger resolution. Though if cost is a non-issue to you, the zenscreens are really nice.

I bought a cheap ASUS zenscreen 1080p for about $150, and it's worked great. Image quality isn't beautiful or anything but it's fine for coding. If you're in video or photo I wouldn't recommend. I also use my ipad pro sometimes, but probably will leave the ipad pro home on the next trip -- the ipad with a cover and keyboard are a lot of weight. I think the asus zenscreen is quite a bit lighter, and it's a much bigger screen than the ipad.

Asus ZenScreen. I'm selling mine if you happen to be in New York (I went up to an 18"), although it's LED and 1080. No reason why you'd need 4k resolution on a 16".

I love mine, but recently I found out it won't play full HD content from one particular platform because it isn't HDCP compliant. A big blow. There is no HDMI, just a USB Micro B. Fine for YouTube, Netflix and Amazon but for this one platform - Stan (in Australia) - it just won't. I have an Asus ZenScreen but not a high-end one, and I got it long before Stan acquired the English Premier League (my sole reason for having the subscription!!). Perfect for everything else, just not this. So now I need to buy a new one with HDMI. I've gone for an ARZOPA A1. Arrives tomorrow. Just something to consider when checking the specs..
