There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
And then I got the new gig... Traveling 1-2weeks out of the month, living in hotels... trains, planes and automobiles... pop-up meetings in restaurants/coffeeshops/conferences. Suddenly my workflow bliss started feeling like a single-desktop pile-on. It's not that I need to drag several 30" displays on the road with me... just some more breathing room.
And then a friend told me about this line of ASUS monitors that sounded way too good to be true... So, I picked one up just to see if it could give me the breathing room I needed w/o the inconvenience of hauling around an external display, power brick and connection cables.
Happy to say, this device hits all 5-stars at a price that's comparable to a low-end desktop monitor. It has the same footprint as my 15" MBP and slips in right next to it in my bag w/o a fuss. Yeah, it adds a little extra weight to my bag, but no more than a hefty USB battery brick or extra Apple MBP wall charger. For me, the big-win is that it does everything over a single USB-C cable, data, image, and power... just magic.
Pros:
- Light weight and low-overhead, just need the device and a USB-C cable that's DisplayPort-over-USB certified
- Same footprint as a 15" MacBook Pro
- Great resolution and color
- Power and image over USB-C, no need for a power-brick
- Easy to use adjustment settings directly on the device
- Sturdy and low-profile magnetic cover very similar to the covers you can get for Android tablets and iPads
- Solid metal/plastic construction
Cons:
- Doesn't have the ability to auto-rotate on MacOS
- No USB-C pass-thru... it eats a whole port, so have a port-expander dongle with power pass-thru for your other port
- Doesn't support HDMI input on the device (I've heard you can get an HDMI-to-USB-C DisplayPort adaptor, but I've yet to source one/try it, would love to have for on-the-road console gaming)
- Hard to find replacement USB-C data cables that support DisplayPort over USB-C
I've been using this for about 2 months now and it's been a worthwhile travel companion... I even crack it out at the home office on occasion to mirror my screen for small 2-3 person group demos/presentations. I haven't tried gaming on it, but video playback and color matching to my MBP screen are great.
This monitor sports a compact, sleek design that beautifully complements my ASUS ROG gaming laptop. Its glossy facade and smart features effortlessly elevate my workspace aesthetics and functionality. I sought a touchscreen feature, which my laptop lacks, and this product didn't disappoint. It's remarkably bright and responsive, delivering a smooth, intuitive user experience that I am enjoying.
The inclusion of a pen with the monitor was a pleasant surprise and what's even more impressive, it worked straight out of the box! No cumbersome setups or frustrating tech hitches. This simplicity has indeed made my user experience more pleasant and exceeded my expectations.
I must admit, I would have appreciated it if the price tag were a little friendlier. I probably should have waited until Prime Day, anticipating a potential price drop, but I needed a quick solution before delving into my studies. Despite the price, I do not harbor any regrets. The value that this monitor provides far outweighs the cost, and in retrospect, I wouldn't hesitate to make the same purchase.
Overall, I can confidently affirm that the ASUS ZenScreen Ink 14” 1080P Portable Touchscreen Monitor is a worthwhile investment, promising quality, and convenience.
With that out of the way, I picked this up to have a secondary screen while traveling for work and I've been really pleased with it so far. Worked instantly with both a 15" MBP and two thunderbolt-3 equipped Windows machines. Just make sure your ports are compatible (look for the DisplayPort or Thunderbolt logo if you're unsure).
The biggest benefit of this over the USB 3.0 (type-B) models is that this monitor will get driven by your machine's GPU, so it's perfect for playing games in a hotel or similar situations.
Short conclusion: if you have a need for something like this, and your computer is compatible, definitely pick one up. If you want the longer breakdown, keep reading.
Screen:
I don't have any color accuracy or coverage information, but next to several other IPS monitors it looks above average. At 1080p on a 15.6" screen it's not going to keep up with a high-end laptop these days, but games, pictures, movies, and text all look as good as you can ask for given the specs. It gets decently bright, but the surface is a bit more reflective than I'd have preferred.
The different display modes are present, but the menus are clunky enough that once you find your preferred one, you'll generally want to stick with it.
Design:
The top and side bezels are small and not distracting. The bottom chin is a bit more visible, but since it houses the buttons and power connector, this is understandable. As a side effect, it also makes it so that the bottom of the actual screen is almost perfectly at the same height as a MacBook Pro, so that's arguably a plus.
Weight is as good as you can expect given the screen size. If you're trying to minimize weight, you probably shouldn't be packing an extra monitor in the first place. But if you're already packing a 15" laptop, the extra weight won't be a deal-breaker.
In hand it feels really solid. If Asus made a 15" tablet like this, it would get full marks from me on construction.
The Stand:
The smart cover is pretty good. Protects the screen and back from scratches in transport. When set up horizontally it has two different angles it can sit at, once you figure out how to fold the magnetized sections into place (the Amazon product image was helpful there). The pen and hole on the other hand, is pretty silly. There's no locking whatsoever, and it just takes one bump to topple it. But hey, free pen!
Also a word of caution about USB-A mode: Rather than providing two separate cables, Asus instead includes an adapter with male USB-A on one end and a type-C port on the other. While this is probably fine for this specific device, do not use this adapter with other type-C devices or accessories. You could easily fry your laptop or phone. Better to just get a type-A to type C USB 3.0 cable, there's plenty of good and cheap ones available.

Touchscreen works when being used as a second monitor. When we added a third monitor the touchscreen stopped working.
Also the pen didn't work. Finally realized it didn't ship with a battery. The AAAA batteries are expensive
Por el momento puedo decir que su exterior es de calidad, buen material. La publicación menciona que cuenta con funda, en realidad es un protector de pantalla que funciona también como base de pantalla una vez plagado. Una de las razones por las que elegí este producto es que solo utilizas un cable y no 2 como en otros equipos (uno para conexión y otro para alimentación) en este caso solo cargo el cable de conexión lo cual es muy práctico.
En cuanto a la resolución y brillo, no está mal pero tampoco es la mejor. En mi caso lo uso como monitor externo de una surface pro 9 para apoyarme en hojas de cálculo o ventanas de internet. Funciona muy bien al reproducir videos, pero, si lo que buscas es usarlo para video juegos creo que hay mejores opciones.
En general es muy buen equipo, pero sobre todo muy práctico. Ya veremos qué sucede después de varios meses de uso.
