Product Snapshot

Overview

The Asus ZenScreen Touch MB16AMT 15.6-inch display is a budget portable monitor released in mid-2019. It promises to deliver an intuitive touchscreen experience thanks to its support for 10-point multi-touch function, and with a foldable smart case, users will be able to switch seamlessly between portable and landscape mode. The display comes with its stylus pen for more precise action, and at only 1.9 pounds, the display is slightly lighter than the Fiodo 15K3F-C monitor, making it even easier to move around. The display’s 7800mAh battery lasts up to four hours to allow for maximum productivity on the go, and with a low blue light filter and flicker-free backlight, users will enjoy good protection against eye strain even with long periods of use. Get to the end of this Asus ZenScreen Touch MB16AMT review to find out how exactly this portable monitor compares to the top computer monitors in the market.

Consensus

our Verdict

The Asus ZenScreen Touch MB16AMT is a great portable monitor for those who like to work on the go.

At 1.98 pounds, it’s easy to carry, but its low peak brightness level may make it difficult to use in bright environments.
