What customers say about "Connectivity"
ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC Full HD IPS Monitor
- Power and image over USB-C, no need for a power-brick.
- The first USB-C monitor that I've tried that worked without a hitch.
- The USB Type-C was nice and i like how things are all matching that port.
- Doesn't support HDMI input on the device.
- A USB-C port on both sides would have made it more flexible in any tight coffee-shop or travel scenario.
ASUS MB169B+ Full HD IPS Monitor
- I'm simply impressed. I connected it to my MS Book and it was literally plug and use.
- Great monitor! Nice to only have one USB cord for both power and connection!
- Connection cable/port is flimsy and it takes multiple disconnects and reconnects to finally get my Surface to recognize it.
- USB connection on monitor should have had a better design so to not extend straight out.
- The USB connection on the screen feels like the weak point.
