The stand is lame

The stand is unusable in portrait mode; too wobbly

I need to find a better, smaller stand, but the case works ok as the stand; it just takes a lot of space from any area I'm working on

I don't like the cover stand

The case/ cover for the panel is supposed to work as a stand; but is not well designed

instead they have an intricate and often failing stand created by folding the sleeve it lives in (the sleeve is excellent) and I have reached over many times to just sit it back up and have it at the right angle for me to use

The case makes for an awkward stand that just feels unstable and takes up way too much desk space.

Great screen but cover does not work well as a stand

The stand should work better considering the cost of this mobile monitor

The stand is a joke

I use the Anker stands to carry the weight of the monitors (which isn't much), so that it doesn't drag down my laptop lid

Works great so far for spreadsheet usage - particularly the stand, appreciate the earlier review which pointed out the confusion.

the stand isn't very sturdy.

The stand is also adjustable.

The protective case as a stand mostly works, but could

Not the greatest stand as it is super flexible, but not that huge a deal honestly

The cover/stand that ships with it is ineffective as a stand and kinda heavy for a cover

My only issue with it is the "stand

the goodplug and play on both win7 and win 8.1very lightstylishnice protective bag ( fail as a stand)the badI understand its a TN panel but this one got horrible viewing angles, I have to keep the monitor in front of me all the time to avoid the color shiftingthe stand

There are plenty of adjustable and more stable tablet stands available here on Amazon for around $10, which will work much better to allow adjusting the viewing angle and protect the display from toppling over

The cover doubles as a stand, and works pretty well.

I bought $10 Anker Portable Stand 2

Second, the cover that acts like a stand may adequately cover the monitor but it doesn't work well as a stand.

I also have a portable stand from a previous device, but I haven't needed it

Additionally, the included case/stand is not so great

/protectors, they both make lousy stands.

" 2 has never ever worked for me (the stand collapsed and the monitor fell flat) and 1 was questionably unstable

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.

case works fairly well as a stand but is flimsy.

It does work great as a protective case, just not as a stand

I have read negative reviews regarding the cover/stand.

Also the stand is mediocre

Supplied Stand is flimsy

Nice monitor but terrible stand

My only request would be a better stand.

However, the stand/cover is not ideal as a stand

Purchased this unit, very nice display, light, nice case, it does work as a stand if you read the directions

Also wish the stand was easier to figure out.

is so you don't have to fumble with the awful cover that doesn't really work as a stand

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

it is a little hard to set up in a small space a kick stand would be better

After a week of using this item I realized it doesn't have speakers and the folding stand doesn't securely hold your screen if the table or desk gets bumped it will fall

The case falls into an adequate stand, although you may want to purchase a small monitor stand to go with it

I had a little tablet stand that I use with this as the stand that comes with this does not seem sturdy, but otherwise great purchase.

For a stand, I purchased a Anker Multi-Angle Aluminum Stand - works well since these are not touch screens..

rather then cheap stand that it comes with

it's not VERY bright, but it's not dark2) using protective sleeve as a stand is totally fine, though Anker Multi-Angle is better

i just got the "anker multi-angle portable stand" (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00N1VDCGO).

There are other USB monitors with similar performance @ or under this price with better stands.

It's a very flimsy stand for the monitor.

terrible stand included. if you have extra funds, buy the one with better resolution

The length of the USB sync cable and the use of the case as a stand are definitely issues

Asus can figure out how to make it as bright as my laptop and makes a portable stand that can put this thing at eye level - I'll buy the next version.

4 stars because it looks like it has a stand that is built into the carrying

I ended up purchasing a adjustable iPad Stand that takes up less space than the case does.

Really like the monitor, hate the stand.

For full time use though, I'd recommend a stand such as the following: Anker Multi-Angle Aluminum Stand for Tablets, e-readers and Smartphones, Compatible with iPhone, iPad, Samsung Galaxy / Tab, Google Nexus, HTC, LG, Nokia Lumia, OnePlus and

Tried moving (cheesy) power toggle switch up and down, but no dice Stand is cheap and unintuitive.

As a stand it is adequate though it still feels a little flimsy as a stand

I was wondering why Amazon was recommending separate stands when I purchased this, and now I know why

When you're dragging things back and forth between a MacBook's retina display and the other screen, everything will appear tiny on the other display.- Using the padded case as a stand feels flimsy, and takes up a lot of desk space

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

My only complaint is the "stand" doesn't provide much support and only cradles the monitor which allows it to slide back and forth in the stand.

The included case works well as a rapidly deployed temporary stand, but it's a bit fiddly to get just right

Such a good image and the magnetic stand is awesome

The cover is good for travel protection, but as a stand it takes up more space than the SP4 and its keyboard cover

The stand is fickle at best, shoddy overall

I might buy a more compact stand eventually.

Really like the monitor, hate the stand.

Only one cable required to use it, Easy to setupGood build quality and great colorsPen stand is literally a stroke of geniusGlass is of good qualityCon (very minor):Display link driver not mentioned in documentation

Work great but the stand is not that great

Comes with a nice sleeve/stand.

I did have to buy a cheap tablet stand for it because the way the company expects you to use the case is ridiculous

Only complaint... the case is a great case, but a sub-par stand.

Another good reason to scrap the stand and use the clips is that it allows the cables that are on the side of most laptops, to run below the screen and maintain a tight footprint for the computer

However, it is difficult to find a good tablet stand that is tall enough to use this in portrait mode.

The case is excellent and works well as a stand, with 2 tilt levels though I did order the Anchor stand which is sturdy with multiple viewing angles - a recommended add on though not necessary

Case really does not work as a stand, just accept that and buy a little fold up tripod stand (like for displaying decorative plates).I use with MacBook Pro Retina (2013 model)

The stand is very flimsy and the screen is extremely fragile

Really sleek and portable, too bad cover isn't so good as a stand, might consider buying a seperate stand that provides more support

The stand works ok if you are sitting this on a flat

Needs a better stand than the cover it comes with however, so I also bought a folding stand for 8 bucks.

Protective sleeve/stand included3

If there was a better stand I would give 5 stars

A separate stand is recommended if you need to use less desk space

The case provided with the monitor is also sufficient to protect it and it is working well enough as a stand for the monitor

It's thin, the stand+cover works well for me (pretty smart configuration actually), and as I said the picture is beautiful.

I got an cheap Amazon Basic portable stand and it works like a dream

The stand is worthless if trying to work in a lazyboy

the matte screen cuts down glare, making usable in almost any light-IPS screen gives reasonable viewing angles-light enough to pack with you at all times, but still seems pretty sturdy-the protective sleeve works in a pinch as a stand

displayCon:- Case is used as a stand - terrible design/idea and time consuming to make it stand (i bought Anker Aluminum Multi-Angle Universal stand to handle that)- USB

Nice monitor but terrible stand

You might want a better stand even though the case does work as advertised.

Today, the monitor was sitting on the piss-poor stand that they send with it, it fell over onto the table and BAM the screen is now shattered.

On that point, the stand on this screen is pretty smart

but I really would prefer if more like the HP u160 stand.

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.

It works fine as a case, but not so great as a stand.

The brightest setting is barely enough and the case/stand is no stand at all

The stand sucksFingerprints are difficult to clean off the matte finishOh my, the stand could could use some work

The case works pretty well as a stand but it does stick out a solid 9 inches behind the monitor, something which can be annoying in certain situations

The stand and case combo works pretty decently, again, it's not perfect, but it gets the job done, and that's pretty much the definition of this product

Even ignoring that the "stand" is worthless and there is nothing on the back to use to attach to anything, it almost never works!It initially worked (with limited features) on my Mac, but it stopped after the very first update

The case protects the monitor, and the case works as a stand

I realize ASUS has other screens with 1080p but their stands before the ZenScreen are so ridiculous and non-user friendly, I always avoided them

The case/stand isn't really good at being a case or a stand

this also may be my computer's fault, actually.- while *in* transit, i have been more annoyed by using the cover as a stand

Now... if only I could find a stand/mount for it to free up some desk space.

Monitor case is supposed to work as a stand, but doesn't do well, buy a tablet stand or folding tablet "easel" instead, it will work perfectly.

The provided cover which also acts as the stand does work well despite some other reviewers having difficulty with it.

Also, the carrying case is nice but it fails as a stand because of its poor stand design

So, as recommended in another review, I bought a stand which works a lot better with the monitor, especially if you use your laptop for work on the field.

The only reason I didn't give this a full five stars is because the stand is not the best.

Very surprised on down fall is the lack of a good stand which I purchased separately.

(I think the stand I got was recommended as an add on) to make the footprint smaller

I am buying a portable tablet stand to have a sturdy base.

My biggest complaint is the stand

but I use the AmazonBasics Adjustable Tablet Stand to hold it in place

The stand is fickle at best, shoddy overall

The carrying case it comes with doubles as a stand, which is just absurd as it is too big and bulky and clumsy as a stand (but works nevertheless).

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

Minus one-star for the case which makes for a horrible stand

The stand is not very sturdy

The video quality is low, the case isn't very sturdy nor does it work like a stand very well either

It should have come with a sturdy stand

I'm tempted to 3D-print a stand for

Also, if I should order another monitor later on, I would probably go for one with a stand, as the sleeve that should work as a stand is not very practical and stable

a kick stand would be better

Love the monitor, hate the stand

First, the carrying sleeve/monitor stand is inadequate as a stand

The monitor is excellent, the stand that comes with it is a joke

The magnetic stand is great as is the pen holder stand(very cool by the way. )

I would HIGHLY suggest to purchase the Anker stand as well because the stand that it comes with is not sturdy whatsoever

but I would get a portable stand

The case is supposed to serve as a stand, but as others have said, get a real stand or you will regret it

I went and purchased a portable tablet stand and that did the trick for me.

itSmartcase Stand is a little cumbersome, but after a bit of fiddling you will find how you want it

It's very convenient to require only one cable for an extra monitor, and the combination case/stand is a very nice touch

The case is great, but using it as a stand is horrible

Easy to carry slim design case is great for protection the stand works

Compact and case doubles as a stand.

The case doesn't offer much protection other than keeping scratch free and is not a sturdy stand.

The case seems durable, and doubles as the stand.

i don't really like it as a stand since it takes up so much table space (though i appreciate that it can be used as a stand in a pinch)

The stand sucks.

Supposedly, the case it comes with is supposed to work as a stand, but, nooooo

The included case / stand is a bit cumbersome to use, but works fairly well

Works fine in landscape mode but since the monitor is supposed to be auto rotating the stand doesn't inspire much confidence in holding it up in portrait mode.

Great monitor but flimsy stand.

In addition, the cool case that it comes with serve as extra protection as well as a monitor stand.

Great monitor but flimsy stand.

While the viewing angles aren't quite as good as some stand-alone IPS monitors, it's a big improvement over the MB 168 and it's worth the upgrade

The included case / stand is a bit cumbersome to use, but works fairly well

Compared to a sturdy stand, it's junk, but compared to the other options available to you, it's a blessing because it's the best you're going to get

The case turns into a handy stand, although it takes up quite a bit of space on a work surface (maybe the ASUS people can think of a smaller stand option), but otherwise, it's really made my mobile life much easier and more functional!

i don't really like it as a stand since it takes up so much table space (though i appreciate that it can be used as a stand in a pinch)

The case is nice and quite durable, but does seem to make for a somewhat awkward stand

but it's not the best stand

The adjustable stand is not only a cinch to use, but can be configured to multiple positions: nearly flat (like the SP), to normal viewing angle (about 45 degrees) to very erect (about 20 degrees) to even portrait

Still I ding one star for the cover/stand, although first rate for protecting the screen while it bangs around in my duffle bag, really isn’t designed well to work as a stand.

Just needed an extra adjustable stand as some recommend

The negative is its 'stand'.

The stand is awful

The only problem I ever had with the Lenovo was the stand...it cracked and fell apart.

Great value, but it could use a better stand

One thing that others have noted is that the case it comes with is a rather decent sleeve, but not a great stand

I recommend ordering a separate stand

The case is terrible as a stand, decent for protection, but it will not protect the unit's sides as they are exposed.

The stand works well enough though it takes up a decent chunk of space.

The stand works well enough though it takes up a decent chunk of space.

If you can't live with them, but a free-standing monitor with its own power supply

I'm happy with the monitor, but they need to come up with a better stand.

BUT you will need to get a separate stand... the case is awful and clunky as a stand

Only complaint I have is the stand.

It also has a big footprint as a stand, and it limits where you can place it.

The case is thin yet protects the monitor well, however it also doubles as the stand, which isn't the most convenient or stable, but it works

I have no qualms with it since I favor the origami case as a stand, but I can see where they were going with it being a more 'minimalist' design choice

However it has a HUGE flaw: IT IS TOO THIN, ergo, the stand is not built in like the AOC ergo, you must buy another stand and/or use the rubbery, squishy monitor cover as a stand

When used correctly, the case makes a sturdy stand

The stand is surprisingly sturdy with the screen in it.

The cover works as a stand for the monitor, which is also something to appreciate

Don't make the same mistake!S

I am a digital nomad and I work as s

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
