What customers say about "Key Specs"

ASUS MB168B Portable Monitor

Very slim, USB powered, decent resolution - not very bright.
Portability is perfect. Screen resolution is decent.
It has better color and resolution than my Lenovo ThinkPad monitor.
Great screen but resolution is not super high.
Resolution is not great. I would return if I could.

ASUS MB168B+ Portable Monitor

No other monitor has a higher resolution (1920x1080) on a 15.6" screen. Great resolution.
1920 x 1080 is a big plus. Good resolution.
I happened to hear about this super hi-resolution (1920 x 1080).
The resolution is extremely crisp and the refresh rate is a decent 60hz.
I was definitely expecting to have to settle to get a portable monitor with 1080 resolution.

What customers say about "Features"

ASUS MB168B Portable Monitor

I bought this monitor and was happy with the adjustment feature.
I was pleasantly surprised at its thinness I can fit it in my computer bag with my computer, no problem. Good feature.
This is one of the best external monitors for my laptop. Greaat features.
I can't adjust the color, brightness or use any of the features of this monitor without that utility.
I wish I knew the auto-rotate didn't function on Mac OS, as it's a feature I need.

ASUS MB168B+ Portable Monitor

Great auto-illuminate and auto-rotate features.
Comes with a carrying case (which can double as a stand). Good feature.
The protective cover is an excellent added feature.
It was interesting to see how the auto rotate feature worked. You can disable that feature.
I'm missing out on the auto-dim/bright feature, and the auto-orientation (landscape/portrait) feature.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

ASUS MB168B Portable Monitor

The monitor usually connects on USB plug. Good connect.
It is easy to setup, just connect the included cable and plug it into a USB port.
USB powered, no need to look for an outlet or long power cable.
This screen is very lightweight and easy to connect.
The USB connection at the monitor is not the best connection.

Single USB3 cable for power and connection. Works fine with USB 2 or 3 ports.
Single USB 3.0 cable connection, easy connectivity.
Quick and easy to connect, and it automatically comes right on.
The connection on the monitor is very delicate. I tried putting it in Portrait mode and the monitor disconnected.
This monitor will not work only by connecting it to USB cable. You will need to install the driver.
