• Reviews around cable (2.59 of 5)

    ASUS MB169B+ 15.6" Full HD 1920x1080 IPS USB Portable Monitor

    • You have to be careful not to move the cable at all when connected or you will lose the signal
    • UpdateI have two of these, the two of them have their very proprietary usb cable already half broken, they don t stick to the usb port any more and as a result keep on getting disconnecting, over time I just gave up using them because it was just very inconvenient
    • USB A cable dies after a month.
    • The woefully short cable simply compounded my ire for this device
    • A right-angle usb c cable would be really helpful since I put the monitor close to other objects and a wall, and the cable is thick and takes several inches to bend, and the usb c port could get damaged if I bump the cord
    • Pros: Amazingly lightweight, excellent protective caseCons: weak short cable, buy a good quality spare, even the quality usb3 cable can dislodge when bumped due to the port placement
    • Also the cable that comes with it is absolute garbage
    • For those customers that damage the cable or lose the cable - you are in trouble!
    • I ordered a USB-C to USB-C replacement cable only to find that the cable is only compatible with Asus cables.
    • Not every USB-C cable available in the marketplace now are created equal
    • I just bought a new $6 Amazon Basics USB Micro-B cable and it works perfectly again.
    • I love it very portable but short cable
    • The cable connection seems loose and I have no way to tell if its a faulty cable or a faulty panel
    • I tried the Y-cable other reviewers suggested and It did work, when I connected the split cable (for power) to the usb port of the Surface Pro 3's power brick
    • Most cheap cables will NOT work
    • Regular USB-C cables are incapable of translating the video signal necessary to make the monitor work, so I now have a 15" brick on my desk
    • I ordered an Amazon basics cable because many said this was a cheap cable
    • The cable could be a littler better quality, it falls out of the monitor if your not careful, so I tried another cable that fits snugly
    • It's also the worst feature of this product, as this specific USB-C cable can not be replaced if you lose it
    • However, it comes with this flimsy cable that is just awful
    • Once I plugged in a better cable everything was fine again though and performance was good
    • You'll want to search for:Nekteck USB-IF Certified USB C 3.1 GEN 2 Cable(10Gbps/100W) USB C to USB C Cable (Thunderbolt 3 Compatible) with E-marker & Power Delivery For MacBook Pro Galaxy S9
    • The bad:Connection cable/port is flimsy and it takes multiple disconnects and reconnects to finally get my Surface to recognize itPlastic
    • And, I even bought the "Amazon" recommended cord USB 3.1 Type C Cable to go with it.
    • USB “Y” split cable into the USB port of the Surface Pro’s power block attached to the electrical cord
    • This monitor has a very weak cable connection I sent it into Asus for repair it took 3
    • This makes them jut out the side awkwardly so they are easy to bump into and snagging the cables is too easy
    • Our white cable that came with our pixels phones is working awesome for it
    • If I bump the cable and the monitor goes out, I have to reboot again
    • Cable seems a little finicky; I had to log out and back in after re-positioning the monitor.
    • Nor does any 3rd party seem to be selling a USB-C to USB-C cable capable of making this thing work
    • The single cable seems sturdy and is of decent length
    • The elastic loops aren't especially great for the task, so I've ended up just folding the cable, placing it along the top edge of the display in the case, and then folding the flap of the case over in a way that leaves space for the cable to sit wedged up there
    • This is mostly fine, however I have found that while the screen is in the portrait position, the cable becomes taut, and have had more than one incident where I nearly knocked the screen over while adjusting my work space.
    • I tried the Y-cable other reviewers suggested and It did work, when I connected the split cable (for power) to the usb port of the Surface Pro 3's power brick
    • However, the USB 3.0 cable was stiff and screen is very yellowish
    • I got a Y cable as recommended (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L1K1OIA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00) and it doesn't need the extra power - just the better cable is good enough

    • Pros: Amazingly lightweight, excellent protective caseCons: weak short cable, buy a good quality spare, even the quality usb3 cable can dislodge when bumped due to the port placement
    • So before I bought this product I saw a few reviews that the cable was very touchy
    • Cable was intermittent from the beginning - Screen would go on and off on occasion.
    • I don't like cables.
    • USB-C cable that came with the pixel didn't work but the one included did.
    • Cable is very loose
    • Not a great cable connection.
    • I like it using the USB-C cable as my laptop has one USB-C port that I use for nothing and leaves the limited number of USB-A ports free for other devices.
    • One cable for data and power keeps the desk and wires cleaner and simple.
    • I don't like the original cable that it shipped with much, but you can get an inexpensive replacement (got mine from Mono price - Pallate Series 3.0)
    • If you are anything like me, the less cables, the better - I have a thing for cable management.
    • Before this the screen worked as intended except for having a loose cable port on the monitor itself
    • Just plug in the included USB 3.0 cable (also 2.0 compatible) and you are up and running in now time.
    • I had one of these to use with my 13" MacBook Pro (2018), and it works amazing through the provided USB C cable
    • Cable is disaster
    • This monitor is awesome, it perfectly matches the monitor on my laptop, the single cable is great and everybody that sees it is impressed, this includes TSA security guards inspecting my bag, it even brought a smile to their face, after describing it to them they said "that's pretty nice"
    • They recommended the exact Y split cable to buy and I found it at Fry’s
    • The cable stops working after I bought it for less than a month
    • It sets up in moments, doesn't suck all of the battery out of my 13" macbook pro, and there's only a single, glorious cable to plug in
    • so the cable can be a little loose
    • If you have trouble just get a (very cheap) new cable.
    • Cable still works.
    • At least include a split USB3 cable and a wall wort as backup.
    • The cable also doesn't really have a home in the case, but the case does protect the screen well
    • 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.
    • ** Will most likely not work unless your laptop has a native USB C
    • Unfortunately, the USB-A to Proprietary connector does not work with the Apple USB-C to USB-A adapter and my MacBook pro no longer recognizes it
    • only compatible with newer computers with built in USB-C
    • However, most laptops don't support USB C yet.
    • Apparently doesn't work with USB3.0, only USB type C with Display port
    • The response time for DisplayPort over USB C is much better than MB169B+ which is USB 3.0 with drivers.
    • , 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.
    • " Full HD 1920x1080 IPS USB Type-C Powered Eye Care Portable MonitorComputer: XPS 13 (2015)Well designed product
    • If you know the "C" version will work with your laptop (C with alternate modes capable of display port), and you don't plan on using it on anything else, the "C" might be a better option
    • 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
    • There is currently no USB-C to Multiport USB-C dongle available that supports pass-thru USB-C charging (none that I have found, anyways after much searching
    • but I don't have a c compatible
    • DisplayPort™ over USB-C™ is using USB Type-C connector and cable to support the DisplayPort interface for audio/video transport capability
    • the C+ blows the B+ away with rich color and sharper image

    • On The Go (OTG Host Cable) for Type-C Supported Devices (6 Inch
    • The C+ is brighter and more responsive than the B+ as it uses the displayport, standard over USB 3.1 Type C meaning that it counts towards the maximum number of monitors your graphics card supports
    • Never as wide as you'd like, but comparable to most laptop screens (and actually even better than my ACER).I'm really
    • The image quality is adequate for our work as well as if we watch a movie.
    • If you are that worried about it being as perfect as
    • One other note, and this is something I found out via trial and error as I could not find any information on this monitor with regard how to replace a lost or damaged cable
    • I use this when I travel as well as at home with laptop
    • No light bleed around edges as I expected based on other reviews.
    • 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.
    • Overall bad experience on this one - both on product itself as well as with ASUS customer service.
    • The colors are not as rich as on my main display, but nothing to gripe about unless you are doing photo editing
    • I can finally travel anywhere and be just as productive as in my office
    • This thing often falls off as it is very flimsy to use and can only be used on a hard, level surface.
    • In portrait orientation it looks exactly as good as in landscape
    • Make sure its the B+ version which supports USB3.0
    • the C+ blows the B+ away with rich color and sharper image
    • Good that USB connection on monitor is on the left side - but needs a better design like being L-
