"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. ...

I got it long before Stan acquired the English Premier League (my sole reason for having the subscription!!). ... So now I need to buy a new one with HDMI."

"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've got the Asus XG17 and MB229CF, the build and display quality is noticably better than my Uperfect 18.5"

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

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?

I've been using the ASUS ZenScreen for past year with my macbook and it works pretty well in bright environments. Got mine for around 200 euros and brightness is decent enough for outdoor cafes, though you still need to find some shade on really sunny days
