Great external Display and I found the perfect backup cable for it as well.

I really enjoy using this monitor with my Chromebook Pixelbook. I use it two different ways. The majority of the time I use it to present to my clients where they are sitting on the opposite side of the table. The mirror function works great and the colors are reproduced faithfully. I can get through a 3 hour meeting on a single charge. The other way I like to use it is with a Paperspace virtual windows computer on my Pixelbook. This way I can take my Pixelbook with me when I travel and always have access to a Windows machine and Paperspace can use both my laptop screen AND the ZenScreen to create a larger desktop. Works great. One other note, and this is something I found out via trial and error as I could not find any information on this monitor with regard how to replace a lost or damaged cable. It *will not work* with just any USB-C to USB-C cable. In fact it won't work with just about ALL USB-C X2 cables. But, I did find a cable here on Amazon that it works with. You'll want to search for: Nekteck USB-IF Certified USB C 3.1 GEN 2 Cable(10Gbps/100W) USB C to USB C Cable (Thunderbolt 3 Compatible) with E-marker & Power Delivery For MacBook Pro Galaxy S9 S9 Plus OnePlus 6/Black 3.3ft Hope that helps others.

Perfect monitor for LapDesk or using IPad stand

I will keep the comments to what my experience with this is - Pros - this is one killer looking monitor - slim and the texture on it is really great. I was not expecting a 4k ultra hd monitor - but what I got was a really good pixel sharp display, that I actually really like- even after looking at my 4k Benq monitor- my eyes can adjust to this, and wow. Use a lap desk - wired to a usb-c cable to usb-3 for my 2014 macbook pro. The case that comes with it- is a great value, you might expect the company to send just the monitor- but the nice case it comes with is like a $50 plus in my book - looks sharp the pen and such.. I saw a day trader on youtube using this monitor with a bentone ipad stand- bought one right away. and Wow - this is great. Got what I expected and more, good quality - treat it like it is 4x more expensive - and would buy another one if needed. No issues- no dead pixels, no color issues at all- just perfect!!

Awesome product for coffee shop workers

I don't buy a lot of products that exceed my expectations, but this one certainly has. It is amazingly lightweight, offers crystal clear text and images, and is very quick and easy to set up in coffee shops and similar places. It connects to a laptop via a single USB-C port and boots up in seconds. Windows immediately recognizes it as an external display with no fiddling of settings. Contrary to the documentation, with displaylink adapters you can plug this into ports which do not supply video and it works! You get a warning message briefly pop up, but I've had zero issues doing this. I even watched Netflix on this with it plugged into a USB-3 port (with a USB-C to USB-3 adapter) which did not offer video-over-USB, and the video was smooth. The use of a pen as a kickstand is an interesting decision, but in practice it actually works well. The display itself is not very bright so not sure in an overly lit room how well this will work. But for people looking for a portable second display I have never seen a better product at any price point. You can set your laptop and this down on a table and within 10 seconds have a multi-monitor setup anywhere. Very cool. One tip: The Lacdo 14-15 inch laptop carrying bag is a great accompaniment to this. It is just big enough to hold this, while being just wide enough to fit a slim laptop as well. I use that bag to carry my Lenovo Yoga 720 13" laptop along with this monitor. Works great.

Portability at its finest!!

I have my 2017 Macbook Pro with a 7920HQ and RX560. I bought a pair because I like to have the real estate to have multiple windows open when I write, debug and test code. I travel a lot for work and both these fit perfectly in my backpack along with my mac and a dell 15" work laptop. Not heavy at all. The cases that come with the monitors are perfect. Quite durable and easy to fold, pack and go. The only con is that you cannot use a short cable. Because the USB-C Connector is on the left of the monitor, you will find that even though you can use a really short cable for the monitor on the right, you will need a longer cable for the monitor on the left (see pic) I saw some reviews saying that if you lost or damaged the original cables, it is hard to find a replacement cable. I am using thunderbolt 3 cables right now and they work fine. I have a razer core X at the home office and find that the cable it came with was too short. Ordered a replacement on amazon and have no problem using the original TB3 cable along with another OWC TB3 cable for these monitors instead of the original ASUS cables which I leave at work. See the specs. The display works great at 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz. Some reviews also mention that these two monitors are not bright enough. They are for me. I have it set to 75% brightness, and they seem to be fine. In fact, I like how the narrow bezels make the transition between my mac monitor and the external monitors seamless. But I am not too particular about the exact color calibration, and some pros might need a lot more accuracy. Loving this product right now. If something changes, I will let you know, but been over a month and these monitors work great. Hope this review helps.

A Road-Coder's Delight... Perfect mate to a MacBook Pro for getting low-overhead second screen joy.

I'm a software engineer who travels about 25-50% of the time for work. Mainly, I code apps and websites and as such, I almost always prefer to work with multiple screens. My primary work laptop is a 2018 MacBook Pro 15 and my sidecar "hobby" machine is a 12.5" Asus Chromebook C302 that I absolutely adore (seriously, see my review of it). At home and work I have a plethora of displays setup on my workstations to service both of these machines and over the years I've become used to being able to "spread" my work out... Communications and productivity apps on one screen, code editor and output browser/simulators on another and one just dedicated to debug terminals and consoles. It really is workflow bliss... 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.

The cover/stand works great once you have it on correctly

Reading reviews I was worried about the cover/stand being bad. I quickly realized what people were describing the first time I put it on. The magnets line up enough when it's on backwards to nearly function, but function poorly. Flipping the cover around solved it completely, the magnets are strong, line up extremely well and stay in place in a variety of positions. If that's a concern, ignore the other reviews, it was user error. I'm a software engineer who works remotely, so sometimes I'm at a kitchen table, a normal desk, a recliner/rocking chair, a hammock, a boat, etc... This monitor is great in every place except the hammock since there's no real good position to keep the laptop and extra monitor... not a fault of the monitor obviously. Color and clarity is great for software engineering, web browsing, and general use like that. I could see if you were doing a lot of graphic intense gaming, it might not be good, but I even run my google hangout and Zoom video conference meetings on that screen, while running IntelliJ, 30+ Chrome Tabs, Slack, Jetty, and a few Docker images. For my purposes of video conferences and googling solutions for development, it works great. It's not quite as bright as my macbook pro's retina screen, but it's sufficient for development purposes. Angle of view is pretty good too, I can turn it to nearly 180º and to show someone something and still see enough of what's on the screen to point things out. It does get darker when you do that, but it's no worse than the macbook's screen I'm extremely happy overall with this screen. I also have a 22" on an Uplift Desk, but find myself liking the mobility this screen gives me. On my older MacBook Pro (13" from 2015) I did have to download and install a driver to make it work using their USB to USB-C adapter that came with it, but on my newer MBP (15" from 2017) it worked right away using one of the built in USB-C ports.

Works great. Did not need to install any drivers

I have a 2017 MacBook Pro 15". Works great. Did not need to install any drivers. It was pretty much plug and play. The reviews are correct, the resolution is not the same as the Retina display; but you sacrifice resolution for the sake of having two screens while traveling. I'm a business road warrior, and when I'm home I use two screens; now I can continue to have the efficiency of two screens when I travel. Although, I'm not a fan of the included travel case/monitor stand. It's an OK stand but for travel, I feel if you hold it incorrectly, it may slide off, fall and break. To be extra cautious, I place the entire screen and travel case inside a padded neoprene cover. This is such an expensive portable monitor that securing it with another case is just peace of mind. Thus far, I love it. I wish I had bought this sooner. I also bought this folding stand instead of using the included cover/stand. This works great and offers less visual clutter and better stability.

Read my TIPS below! very very good second monitor, powered by usb-c, clear

I've seen a lot of complaints about the brightness. I have a solution!!! You need to customize the display settings. I set the brightness from the default 50, to 100 (max). And i'm VERY happy. It is BRIGHT. At night in my office it is too bright. The solution is keep the brightness at 100...but you can select the scene type called "Splendid". From there I usually select "Darkroom Mode". Another trick is to set the "Shortcut" menu item to "Splendid". Once that is setup you can just hit the left button once, then twice and you will be at the "Splendid" menu to select a picture mode. So at night I switch to "Darkroom Mode" and during the day I switch to "Standard Mode" or "sRGB Mode". I hope that helps!!

Life changing!!!

I haven't been able to efficiently work remotely on my 2015 MacBook due to the lack of screen space. I didn't even know these things existed, and when I found it and saw the reviews I insta-bought it without even realizing that the 2015 MacBooks have Thunderbolt 2 ports, not USB-C ports. I thought I'd have to go get a Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapter, but it turns out that the little USB adapter that comes with this product works just fine assuming you download the correct driver. (Note that the correct Mac driver for the most updated version of the OS isn't exactly intuitive to locate, but with enough googling I'm sure you'll find it, because I did.) Ever since I got it up and running I've been unchained from my desk, where my typical set-up was my MacBook docked next to a regular HDMI monitor. The resolution is really great, tons and tons of screen real estate, awesome picture, great colors, I could go on and on about this thing, it's incredible! The origami cover that doubles as a stand is a little confusing to figure out, but if that's the only drawback, it really doesn't even matter, does it? I haven't tried it over USB with anything requiring a decent FPS (like gaming), but for coding and design work and other cubicle-jockey style activities, this thing is just the best ever!

Oddly Practical Must Have for the Mobile Professional

Happened to be in Taipei during the Computex Electronics show and saw this new ZenScreen on the show floor at the ASUS booth. Was so immediately blown away by the road warrior practicality of it that I ordered one from Amazon right then on the show floor. Then later when I got back to the hotel room I ordered another one (why stop at two? My MacBook Pro has 4 USB C ports!). Have had the ZenScreens for a couple days now and I love them. Can't wait to hit the road again so I can put them to work in hotel rooms, coffee shops, etc. The work flow I've developed works best on a 3 monitor setup, which I have in my home office, but I always lose that when I travel and am confined to laptop. So being able to take my workflow with me now and have all my dashboards setup on additional displays the way I need to is a godsend. Overall, I find this one of the most oddly practical and magical "accessories" to come out for a long time. Blows my mind that the ZenScreen gets both power and video from the same cable. That you don't have to find additional power outlets to plug it in makes it so much more practical. Also find it amazing that a phone can power the display (plugged it into a Galaxy S8 and the screen powered on and got video - doesn't work with all phones though). Also love that it just gets detected as a display, so you can set it up how you want to - landscape or portrait. The screens are big and I think deceptively lightweight for just how big they are. I like that you can avoid lugging around the covers/stands if you want to save some weight and just rely on a pen (included!) to prop up the displays. Since getting them I've already had half a dozen friends and work colleagues pick one up.
