"Image quality isn't beautiful or anything ... If you're in video or photo I wouldn't recommend."


"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."

Here are what you need for each of the two sinks: * **Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+** While this device has a USB-C port with DP alt mode, the tablet cannot serve as a DP alt mode video sink; the tablet can only serve as a USB data sink for video with software such as MyAsus (GlideX) on the Asus RoG Ally. * **Asus ZenScreen MB16ACV** This is a DP-DisplayLink hybrid monitor that can serve as either a DP alt mode video sink or a USB data sink for video (DisplayLink in this case). The DisplayLink capability is a fallback in case the host/hub/dock does not support DP alt mode (as DP alt mode offers significantly better performance). You can't convert the HDMI out on the RevDock to a USB-C out with DP alt mode out using a USB-C to HDMI adapter. They aren't designed for that. You need a hub/dock that has a USB-C out with DP alt mode in order to get the best performance out of your ZenScreen. Here are a few options depending on your hub/dock needs: * [NewQ NQ-HB-16 Triple Display Mini-Dock](https://www.amazon.com/Monitor-Splitter-30-60Hz-Full-Function-Docking/dp/B0F1T9F61K) * [Selore&S-Global USB4 Peripheral Mini-Dock](https://www.amazon.com/Docking-Station-Monitor-Windows-Matebook/dp/B09B1VXDYH) * [Selore&S-Global SEUC6101 USB4 Peripheral Hub](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT2HZ1ZY) While it doesn't matter whether the hub/dock supports DP alt mode when using the Galaxy Tab as a USB data sink for video (with whatever software), it does matter when using the Galaxy Tab as a video source (i.e. as the host).

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 15” 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 isn’t great - not for gaming but prioritize which content you want on your laptop and which can be on the secondary.

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..

I used to use a ZenScreen but somewhere along the way I stopped using it. Don't know why to be honest
