Colour reproduction is disappointing with sRGB coverage of 57.5% but otherwise, this is a fantastic solution for those who don’t have space for a full-size desktop monitor. The MB16ACE's single video-input port is located on its left side, near the bottom. It's a USB Type-C port supporting DisplayPort over USB; it can receive data, video, and power from the computer you are using it with. In the box with the ZenScreen is a USB Type-C cable, as well as a USB-C-to-USB-A adapter. (You can run the monitor from a computer's USB 3.0 port, but you will have to install a DisplayLink driver for full compatibility.)

If not USB-C, the monitor may have microUSB or even mini-HDMI ports for video and power transmission. Newest MacBook Pro operating system requires a DisplayLink driver to be installed. The monitor will not work without it.

Refresh rate: This is unimportant for portable monitors (as you won’t be gaming on them) but you should expect a refresh rate of 60Hz. I've gotten completely dependent on having a 35" monitor and my 13" laptop monitor as real estate when working. I often have three windows viewing between them. I'm much less efficient when I'm on the road and just using that 13" monitor. So I'm really excited to bring this monitor on my next trip. The main menu has eight items, identified by icons. The first one, called Splendid, actually opens a submenu showing eight picture modes: Standard, sRGB, Scenery, Theater, Game, Night View, Reading, and Darkroom. The second, Blue Light Filter, lets you choose among four levels of blue-light reduction for reducing eyestrain, particularly at night—or you can leave it off. The third, Color, lets you control color temperature and saturation but also brightness and contrast. Next is Image, which controls sharpness, aspect ratio, and more. The fifth item, System Setup, lets you control settings like Auto Rotation (so the text or image on the screen is right side up in landscape or portrait orientation), Eco Mode, and Language. The sixth, Shortcut, jumps you to widely used settings like Brightness. The next item is MyFavorite, which lets you set, save, and access favorite settings. The final item is Exit, which lets you leave the menu. Perfect. Highly recommend this little monitor. It goes perfectly with my QuadStation Traveler laptop (google it) and i use 2 of them with my laptop. The panel itself is an older TFT IPS number but it’s pretty good, delivering decent colours and colour accuracy when tested. It’s bright enough for most use cases but might struggle with direct sunlight. On the whole, though, using the PM161Q was a perfectly pleasant experience, and given the mid-range price tag and the feature set, it’s hard to ignore.
Key specs – Screen size: 17in; Resolution: 2,560 x 1,600; Screen technology: IPS; Video inputs: USB-C; Refresh rate: 60Hz; Weight (with case): 990g Portable monitors are usually 14in-17in in size (that’s measured diagonally across the screen). You might want to match the screen size to that of your laptop/tablet, if you’re using one, but otherwise it’s just a question of budget and requirements. Even 17in is small enough to work on the go, however. What other specifications should I look out for?This color chart shows a pattern that's quite similar to most of the mobile monitors PC Labs has tested since late 2018. The ZenScreen Go had slightly better sRGB coverage (72.7 percent), while the ZenScreen Go turned in 69.1 percent. The Asus monitors were better than the AOC I1601FWUX, which covered only 61.4 percent of the sRGB space, and slightly better than the Lepow 15.6-Inch Portable USB-C Monitor, which covered 65.4 percent. The only portable monitor we've tested lately that did substantially better is the Lenovo ThinkVision M14, which covered 97 percent of sRGB. (We generally look for at least 95 percent sRGB coverage in desktop monitors.) However, with this monitor as long as you have the DisplayLink Driver installed it WILL work. Just as it does on a regular TYPE A USB 3 port which requires DisplayLink driver. I just tested it on my laptop and the extra display came right up! See pic attached....monitor #5 is THIS monitor on a USB Type C port that does NOT have DP capability. So it has support for both USB 3 Type C and USB Type A. Comes with 2 x USB Type C cables. It comes with a USB 3 Type C Female to USB 3 Type A Male ADAPTER. Works great.
The magnetic folio case (which covers the screen and a portion of the rear when closed) doubles as a stand that can be angled at either 105° or 120°. This monitor can also be propped either horizontally or vertically, although you’ll need to install the LG OnScreen Control app to access vertical orientation mode. It has a 15.6in, 60Hz 1080p IPS panel with good viewing angles and an anti-glare, matte finish to keep reflections at bay. And although it doesn’t come with a fully protective folio case, the supplied folding stand can be attached to the front to protect the screen while it’s stowed away. I've been using this USB monitor for around 10 months and I love it! I use it with a MacBook Pro 16" and the size of this display is just similar enough to where it looks almost pretty much the same as my primary screen. Granted, the resolution is lower and the only way to control brightness is through the hardware buttons which could be easier to use. The protective outer shell is a bit confusing to figure out at first but once you do it's easy to use.

The dilemma i always had with the previous version MB169B+ was finding a laptop with 2 x USB 3.0 ports. not as easy as you think. But they always have at least one, and now one x USB Type C.

In our color testing in Standard mode, the MB16ACE covered 69.8 percent of the sRGB color space, with nearly identical results (69.7 percent) in sRGB mode. (See the chromaticity chart below.). That effectively matches what we saw from the Asus ZenScreen Touch, which hit 69.1 percent of sRGB in Standard mode.As with the Asus, don’t expect professional-grade colour accuracy here. The screen only covers 52.9% of the sRGB colour gamut and peak brightness is a mere 203cd/m². However, images look punchy and crisp and it does the job in an unfussy way. The Asus MB16ACE connects to your laptop via USB-C or HDMI (both cables and a mains adapter are supplied in the box) and comes with a case that props it up at various angles, a bit like an iPad case.
