I purchased an earlier version of the Asus monitor and have used it for Work From Home the past two years. It was a game changer compared to using a one screen laptop.
Yep. I've been really enjoying the monitor. Although today, my light-stand fell over and dented the top bezel. Thank goodness the screen still works. Whew!
Asus MB16ACE has the advantage for a single USB Type-C cable connection without DP Alt mode needed but its color gamut coverage is very poor, around 63% sRGB as I measured via Datacolor Spyder5 (44% on Adobe RGB). This is because the displayable colors on this monitor specs are only 260,000 colors. This monitor works fine for normal usage without color accuracy needs.
Hi, thank you for the information. I was wondering if this monitor works as a main monitor if I colse my macbook? My macbook screen has a problem and I was thinking if i can use the asus as the main one. Thanks in advance
Hi - my main PC has a dedicated GPU (RTX 3060), but my MAC M1 Mini and my Dell laptop both have integrated graphics unit. All of them work well with the ASUS monitor featured in this video.
I have this monitor and I have a no name brand monitor and it's the same thing. Nothing special about it other than name brand and maybe customer service if you have issues. Aside from that there are many cheaper options on Amazon that offer more bang for bucks.
Thanks. I was tempted to go that route, one with multiple inputs incl. HMDI, but decided on a safer choice with a trusted brand. But this day and age, I'm sure the no name brand would have worked just fine. Thanks for watching.
Hey man, great video. Just a quick question. Did the monitor have a hole in the back for screwing it in a tripod? This is so it can attach to a tripod stand instead of relying on the provided stand or a pen?
does it work with ipad mini 6 or samsung galaxy s21. i need to use google docs and view webpages away from home as a trucker. the phone is still small enough screen it is less comfortable. on small screen.
Hi Giuly - It should work. I use it with my MAC Mini M1. However, I have to use the USB-A port on my MAC and the USB-C on the monitor AND make sure the Display Link software is active. I could not get it to work plug and play using USB-C to USB-C for MAC.

"Greetings, I'm having trouble installing the driver or application for my ASUS MB series monitor on my macOS computer. When I try to install it, I get a message saying that the version of macOS is too new. Could you please help me solve this problem? Is there a newer version of the driver or application available that is compatible with my version of macOS? Thank you in advance for your help and attention to this matter."
Hi Gianna - This monitor ASUS MB16ACE - I think is a good choice for photoshop. However, if you're looking for an option that could double as an input device, I would recommend the KAMVAS 13. Although the resolution isn't going to be as good as the ASUS MB16ACE, and the screen will be smaller, you can draw and work directly on it which eliminates the need for something like a Intuous tablet. I have a video on it here: ua-cam.com/video/GeziUCiAtoM/v-deo.html

For color accuracy you can check out the ASUS ProArt Display PA148CTV
What are the power requirements...(How many watts does it need to draw from the peripheral port to turn on and function)?
Great video, i would prefer more screen time for the product though.
Let me know if there is anything specific you'd like to know more about. I'll try to answer. Thanks.
@@AndyPark365 The info was adequate I suggested a tad more screen time to get a sense of dimensions.

Does your PC have a dedicated GPU or an APU?

No, unfortunately, there is no mounting option built in to the monitor. No tripod thread or vesa mount.
Hi. Great vid! New sub here! 😊 btw, were u able to use it on macbook m1 type-c ports? im using macbook air m1 and it only has type-c ports 😅
Hi Kevin - unfortunately, I haven't been able to make it work using usb-c port on my m1 mini. It only works when I have it attached to usb-a.
@@AndyPark365 got u bro. Thanks for the response! Appreciate it. Looking forward to watching more of your vids! 😊
Thank you so much for the review. Currently looking for a portable monitor. Great review

Do you use it with phone. Its working with samsung note 8 with dex mode. But battery issue is a big problem. Is there a solution?
does it work with ipad mini 6 or samsung galaxy s21.
i need to use google docs and view webpages away from home as a trucker.
the phone is still small enough screen it is less comfortable. on small screen.

Works with my m2 air should be no problem
@@s0meGuyMarlyMar does it work with just the USB-c to USB-c on your M2 air? I have the M2 air also and was thinking about buying this portable monitor
@@aniketthakurdesai4345 yes usb-c to usb-c DisplayPort aka thunderbolt cable. Not a slim usb-c cable that charges cell phones and peripherals those don’t work
I bought it because of power outage issue which used to turn my external monitor off.
Yep. That's a good reason.

This is a fantastic review video. Thank you!
Great review, I was actually here to see how to use the use the protective cover as a stand but the pen trick is awesome! Thank you for sharing that!
so its only got 1 port? then if i i were to use it with my phone, it would just drain my phones battery like crazy?
how to connect this miracle to the playstation 5?? where is the hdmi output there?
Do you have to download programs for it to register?
Does is work for a ps4 if I use a hdmi to usb c adaptor?
Hi Oskar, unfortunately, it wouldn't work.
Thanks for the video, very helpful, would you recommend a portable monitor that you would do photoshop with? :)

Do you know if i can use it with a PS5?
i got the mac pro m1, with only usb c ports, that means, that it wont work?
It'll work perfectly with your m1
Does it work with ipad mini?
Hi Raj - unfortunately it does not
Great review!! does this work with a docking station?
Yes, I use it with my ThinkPad docking station
@@AndyPark365 thank you very much!!
Keep up the good work!!
Can this be used a 2ndary monitor for UA-cam and stuff?
Yes of course!
@@AndyPark365 Can this work for desktops?
@@venividivici4253 yes, but can only work as a secondary display. Not as primary.
@@AndyPark365 that’s my plan. Just a auxiliary panel
@@venividivici4253 Then you are good to go!
So for a Lenovo thinclient, All I need is the usb adapter? "Because no HDMI"
If you have Type C USB connection, you should be all set!
@@AndyPark365 thank you for your answer and nice straightforward video 📷
24in ?
Thank you! You answered every question I had.
What's the model number for the glossy one please?
Asus ZenScreen MB16AC
Can connect in PC desktop?
Yes, it can connect to a desktop PC.
Thanks idol❤️
@@AndyPark365 can it work on switch or mobile phone .
Hi I was just wondering if this works with the nintendo switch or PS4.
Hi John - Unfortunately, it doesn't work with Switch or PS4. Sorry for the late reply.
@@AndyPark365 will it work for a Xbox series S or X or ps5?
is this video fucked up or is my computer?
Useless information at the beginning. I wanted to hear about the quality of the stand and the tilt angle.
