The ASUS ZenScreen 15.6 Inch Portable Monitor provides a complete 1080p second screen without adding extra bulk to your system. When you plan to carry the portable screen, a thinner panel matters, and this ZenScreen has been designed around that with a slender, lightweight design that fits snugly into a computer bag along with your laptop. The monitor is large enough to view documents, browser windows, chats, or game consoles next to your primary display, and it has a built-in kickstand that lets you quickly deploy or stow it.
The perfect solution for when you need a second screen
The 15.6-inch Full HD IPS panel delivers a 1920 x 1080 resolution with 178-degree viewing angles. With that, there is sufficient room for real multitasking without reducing text and windows to a cluttered mess. In addition, ASUS also describes the monitor as having an anti-glare surface, which will be helpful if you use this screen in rooms with varying lighting conditions. Also, the monitor contains TÜV Rheinland-certified Flicker-free and Low Blue Light technologies. These may help maintain your eyes’ health by reducing blue light exposure during extended periods of viewing on a secondary screen.
The single USB-C cable powers and transmits video to compatible devices. The monitor will work with laptops that have either a USB Type-C or USB Type-A port, using an adapter. This is good news, as it will give you more flexibility to connect to older devices.
Compared with other thin portable displays that work well only in one configuration, the fold-out kickstand and rear tripod socket of this monitor offer more options for positioning it. The stand supports both portrait and landscape modes, and the DisplayWidget software included with the monitor can detect the monitor’s orientation and automatically adjust the screen accordingly when it’s connected to your laptop. The monitor weighs 1.83 pounds, is 0.41 inches thick, and includes a ZenScreen sleeve for storage protection.
The sleeve, two connection cables, and three-year warranty make up a package that covers everything you need without requiring you to seek out additional accessories. You will receive a portable Full HD IPS display, a built-in kickstand, USB-C hybrid-signal connectivity, and eye health features, in a product designed to be moved around and easy to set up. At $130, $79 less than the normal price of $209, the ASUS ZenScreen 15.6 Inch Portable Monitor is a compelling option as an affordable second screen that requires very little extra space to operate.
