Reviews around work (4.12 of 5)
-
but if you also need another screen for complex work tasks.
-
The work flow I've developed works best on a 3 monitor setup, which I have in my home office, but I always lose that when I travel and am confined to laptop
-
The product works well, is plug and play, and, despite other reviews, the case doubles well as a monitor stand.
-
Display works great, but I don't like the fact that it requires an external power source to work with my Surface Pro 3
-
The case/stand works really well as a case, the monitor fits very snug

Reviews around picture (3.92 of 5)

Apparently doesn't work with USB3.0, only USB type C with Display port
-
Picture quality good but not great...auto brightness does not seem to work
-
I own an older version of a USB DisplayLink monitor (Lenovo LT1421) that I've had for several years, and while it served its purpose from time to time, I usually found that the lower resolution (max 1366 x 768) and relatively poor picture was frustrating and not worth connecting to my laptop unless I *really* needed a second monitor
-
, the stand/cover was OK, but the problem was the USC C, I couldn't get the right connector to hook it to my laptop and get it to work, I ordered several to try before returning the item.
-
Set-up is a breeze (just plug it into the USB port) and it has a good picture quality

Great product, I use while on travel and just around the house.

This product has solved that problem and for a fraction of the price

Product did not work on my Mac and was not fully refunded since I had opened it.

If you own a Microsoft Surface Book, this product does NOT work

Reviews around display (3.88 of 5)
-
I wouldn't recommend this as a normal external display for a laptop... travel only.
-
Display is great, works very well as a second monitor and is very light
-
It is not as bright as my laptop display but is bright enough
-
The display is dull and the brightness functions do not work
-
The display is not a noticeable drain on the battery when using it with my Dell laptop.

Reviews around quality (3.70 of 5)
-
The monitor is of good quality materials, and the picture looks pretty solid
-
The good: The monitor is super thin, light, and has good display quality (for me - untrained eye)
-
I really wanted to love this, but it was so frustrating to use because of the poor image quality
-
I don't know if this particular one is defective or if they are all made with poor quality.

Great screen, very good quality, does everything I need.

Reviews around resolution (3.67 of 5)
-
The highest brightness setting is sort of a joke, and it's resolution is pretty bad
-
While the resolution is great, the monitor is VERY dim.
-
The resolution is bad but what it far worse is the colors that are rendered on the monitor
-
Not the greatest resolution, but good price for a solid screen.
-
It's larger than my laptop screen, colors are good, resolution is good.

If your device does not support DisplayPort over Type-C please look into getting the MB169B+ instead as this monitor uses the USB 3.0 standard
-
Apparently doesn't work with USB3.0, only USB type C with Display port

Great screen, very good quality, does everything I need.
-
But just from transportation in the case in my laptop case, the screen looked like it cracked
-
On my first time bringing the screen with me the screen cracked

Reviews around thing (3.33 of 5)
-
This thing is sleek, super clean lines, super thin, and super
-
This monitor also has an auto-orientation feature that automatically detects the orientation of the screen (portrait or landscape.)The only bad thing about this monitor/setup is the 2-1 travel case/monitor stand
-
It's not the brightest thing, but it's bright enough for most purposes
-
One strange thing is ,i use custom resolution of 1920x1280 on Surface Pro (because the original resolution is useless on 12 inch screen), but when I plug the usb monitor, my custom resolution is gone
-
If you have bought it ( like me), the only thing I can do is to pray

Reviews around case (3.27 of 5)
-
The case it comes in is a nice case but is way too unstable as a monitor stand
-
Only complaint... the case is a great case, but a sub-par stand.

The case does double as a stand, but it's kind of weird to use.

The case is very good for protection, but not a good stand

-
Only complaint... the case is a great case, but a sub-par stand.
-
The length of the USB sync cable and the use of the case as a stand are definitely issues
-
The case/ cover for the panel is supposed to work as a stand; but is not well designed
-
Minus one-star for the case which makes for a horrible stand

Love the case as a case but, as a stand it is not that great

Reviews around battery drain (2.60 of 5)
-
The image quality is adequate for our work as well as if we watch a movie.
-
I gave it a 3 because the cable that is provided fits loosely and continues to disconnect-extremely frustrating as it also resizes my laptop screen.

Never as wide as you'd like, but comparable to most laptop screens (and actually even better than my ACER).I'm really

Reviews around cable (2.59 of 5)
-
I just bought a new $6 Amazon Basics USB Micro-B cable and it works perfectly again.
-
I ordered a USB-C to USB-C replacement cable only to find that the cable is only compatible with Asus cables.
-
However, the USB 3.0 cable was stiff and screen is very yellowish
-
I had one of these to use with my 13" MacBook Pro (2018), and it works amazing through the provided USB C cable
-
Before this the screen worked as intended except for having a loose cable port on the monitor itself

before you buy, do yourself a favor and research it a bit as far as compatibility goes.compared to 169c+...in my experience, the c+ will only work if your mobo setup has a 3.1 usb c slot that's dp alt mode compatible.

Whether it was a faulty product or faulty software, I was never able to get the display to work.

but honestly if this doesn't work the second you have installed the drivers (displaylink and the ASUS crap driver that crashed one of the computers I tried this on, I fixed the issue with that computer uninstalled all related software)

Reviews around star (2.02 of 5)

I give this monitor 4 stars, because it's not bright enough for a window seat in the office with the sun shining in from behind.

Update 12/15/2016Poor performance, knocked off another star.

All in all, the monitor itself would be five stars, but the arduous connect/install/configure process plus the really lame "stand" are enough of a degradation to knock off a star.

Like some other people have said, the connection to my laptop got a little dicey over time.

In other reviews people complain the length of the cable but it is longer then I need it to be

C'mon people, its 2018, make your products compatible across the board

I also believe it improves my professionalism when visiting clients, people are always impressed with the second monitor and ask questions about it

Another high-end laptop that Asus made less than a year ago with a similar finish as the back of this portable display had video driver issues
