Working on a single laptop screen can be frustrating when you need to view multiple documents or applications at the same time. Portable monitors are a standard fix for this, and Asus has just added another option to the mix. The ZenScreen OLED MQ16FC is a 16-inch secondary display aimed at people who work away from a desk, and it is priced at €280 in Europe.

Asus ZenScreen OLED MQ16FC Specifications

The monitor uses an OLED panel with a 1920 x 1200 resolution. That gives it a 16:10 aspect ratio, which matches most modern productivity laptops and provides a little more vertical space for reading text or viewing spreadsheets. The screen covers 95% of the DCI-P3 color space and has a Delta E < 2 color accuracy rating.

In practical terms, the colors and contrast should be reliable enough for standard photo and video editing tasks. It is a 60Hz display, so it is meant for work and watching media rather than gaming, though the 1ms response time should keep text scrolling looking normal.

The most useful hardware addition is the power pass-through system. The monitor includes two USB-C ports (which support DisplayPort Alt Mode) and a mini-HDMI port.

If you plug a compatible USB-C charger into the monitor, it can pass up to 65W of power directly to your connected laptop. This is helpful if you are working in a cafe or an airport and only have access to a single wall outlet, as you can keep both devices powered using one charging brick.

Physically, the monitor is built to fit in a standard laptop bag. It weighs 0.68 kg and is 0.9 cm thick. It includes a built-in kickstand, a standard 1/4-inch tripod socket if you prefer to mount it, and software that automatically rotates the screen if you turn it vertically.

Asus also included a specific color profile intended to match the screen output of Apple’s MacBooks, which might save macOS users some time adjusting settings to get their screens to match.

In related news, Lenovo has recently introduced a 31.5-inch 4K 240Hz QD-OLED gaming monitor with a 0.03ms response time, while LG has unveiled the UltraGear 32GX870B featuring Tandem OLED and a 480Hz esports mode.

The ROG Equalizer doesn't work as advertised as discovered by Der8auer in his latest demonstration. ROG Equalizer 12V-2x6 Cable Shows Large Current Imbalance On WireView Pro II While Removing the Bridge Improves Balancing It appears that ASUS's recently released ROG Equalizer 12V-2x6 cable might not be the solution for proper load balancing. ASUS explicitly advertised the ROG Equalizer cable as a component that does better load balancing than regular 12V-2x6 cables, but the testing by popular German YouTuber Der8auer reveals something interesting. Der8auer has made two videos on the connector, but his latest video finds out what makes the ROG […]
