Asus MB169B+ 15.6 INCH Monitor IPS 1920 x 1080 USB powered

Great monitor let down by the case/stand

The Asus MB169B is a great portable monitor with great picture quality only let down by the case that doubles as a stand. In essence you lay the stand down and pop up the flap on Velcro to rest the monitor against, The monitor does not always securely...

Best portable second monitor I've seen

This is the perfect second monitor when travelling. Ideal for hotel rooms, customer premises, etc. No external power supply required. Just a single cable from a USB port for picture and power. The picture is a little dark due to USB power restrictions...

Love it!

Using this with my Thinkpad T420s with single USB 3.0 port. Portability is great, screen quality is great. I've never noticed any performance issues, though I haven't tried video. Great solution for having a second monitor on the road.

Perfect

Doesn't work so well with USB 2.0, but I expected that. I would not use this as a gaming display.

Light weight, easy to use, great color, great video. I use this mostly for documents. I have USB 3.0. This thing has been a big hit at work and now everyone wants to use mine.

Great form factor, but....

The cons above are not enough for me to return this, but it certainly does not feel like a $180 display. The colors are washed out, the contrast is not crisp, and the brightness is only a fraction of what my main laptop (Yoga 900) is capable. I find...

- Light - Works great over a single USB 3.0 connection (power and display) - Works without drivers/applications - 1080p resolution is great

- Washed out colors - Not crisp - Display feels sluggish/slow

Good but not great

With it's mobility it could be a really great product. Unfortunately the poor colour depth making the information disappearing from the screen causes the low comfort of usage. Changing the colour depth setting between 16-bit and 32-bit makes no...

The mobility is extraordinary especially with additional tablet stand providing more usable angles with less place taken ; The brightness and contrast are good enough for work also in very bright places. The mate screen does well too ; It has only one...

The screen has one BIG disadvantage to me. The colour depth is very poor ; On the photos the very dark colours are black and the very bright colours are white. The information about signal is missing and making the photos more flat than on other...
