"Kung gusto mo lang ng basic, reliable screen for office, presentations, at okay ka sa 60Hz, ok din si ZenScreen ... Kung gusto mo ng smoother display for gaming or just better scrolling experience, [Z1FC] na. ... yung pinakagusto ko is yong 144Hz na sobrang noticeable talaga."
I have an ASUS 156b portable display. It lives on my desk except when I am traveling for field work or sometimes (about once a month) relocate to my basement lab for a day. If I have a long document (say 50 pages) to read I may lay on my bed and read on my phone until my arms get tired and I move back to my desk. When I'm working my usual tasks, I'm immersed in the work. Location doesn't really matter. Portable display is on left in picture. https://preview.redd.it/dl6xygbmjd3g1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0fc7167f8510f321436cd5c3c123a2412466126f
I use it all days every days for code!
I have a 15inch m4 macbook air and i use my old asus zenscreen 15inch. It's now my secondary monitor even at home and i keep my macbook docked. At coffees i have the screen over my laptop screen to take less space on a overly expansive stand lol ( FLEXSTA ). At work i have them side by side with my laptop on a roost stand. At home i have it rotated 90degree next to my studio display
they're a dime a dozen, but really I think any of those chinese 15.6" monitors work fine and dandy - I ended up getting two, a ARZOPA portable monitor and then an ASUS ZenScreen 15.6" I prefer the ARZOPA over the Asus. ARZOPA (or any of those crazy sounding companies) have usb-c and hdmi input, which is a plus. Other things I bought that I found kinda useful: \- Portable monitor stand: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2YCT3V7?ref=fed\_asin\_title](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2YCT3V7?ref=fed_asin_title) \- Super portable laptop stand: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2WMTWTD?ref=fed\_asin\_title](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2WMTWTD?ref=fed_asin_title) The ASUS I thought was gonna be handy with the threaded 1/4-20 on the back to mount with tripods and stuff, but it doesn't work since the thread mount is so shallow that the monitor just spins on most mounts/not deep enough to "lock in" unless you have the ability to shorten the thread length (like on a cold shoe mount or something).
I purchased one of the Asus Zenscreen 15β a year or so ago. Brilliant and came with a pouch and USB-C cable.
Asus ZenScreen 13 or 15, 13 is super light, 1 cable (powered by USBC) Quality isnβt great - not for gaming but prioritize which content you want on your laptop and which can be on the secondary.
+1 love my Zenscreen
I got a zenscreen from asus. They have many sizes, plug and play 1 usb-C to usb-c cable.
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..
I used to use a ZenScreen but somewhere along the way I stopped using it. Don't know why to be honest
Op nag portable monitor din ako and 2 weeks ago lang ako nag research. Lumalabas na ang maganda ngayon na pwede sa shopee ay Arzopa Z1RC. Ang original plan ko ay yung Asus zenscreen pero sa specs daw sabi sa research ko di sya competitive sa price at ngayong 2025. Ang isa ko pang tinignan ay si AOC. Touch screen sya pero below specs din kay Z1RC. Si Z1RC more on productivity, meron syang counterpart sa Arzopa nakalimutan ko yung model. Anyway few things to ask lang Saan mo gagamitin? Oo like pairing sa gaming rig pero like what exactly? Supported ba ng pc mo yung USB A to C? If sa GPU mo isa lang ang HDMI mo kailangan mo ng converter. Anong device pang gagamit mo?
