MB168B Portable USB-Powered Monitor - Two Screens are Better than One
One Cable Does the Job
15.6-inch HD display with a single USB 3.0 cable for power and data transmission.
Sleek and Ultra-Portable:
World’s slimmest and lightest USB monitors with a metallic finish.
Adjusting to your Needs
Auto-rotating display bundled with the ASUS Smart Case – a two-way adjustable stand and protective sleeve.
One Cable does the Job, Adding a Second Monitor has Never Been So Easy
The 15.6-inch MB168B portable USB-powered monitor needs just one USB cable for both its video signal and power to deliver up to a 1366 x 768 HD resolution*. Thanks to the higher bandwidth of USB 3.0, experience fast, fluid images from your connected device that makes having an on-the-go multi-display setup a reality. What’s more, the MB168B is backwards compatible with a notebook or desktop PC USB 2.0 port**.
*Resolution varies by product SKU.
**USB 2.0 connection may affect brightness settings and image quality.
With a slim 8mm (0.3-inch) profile and tipping the scales at just 800g (1.76 pounds), the MB168B is the world’s slimmest and lightest companion display, ideal for a simple on-the-go dual-monitor setup and mobile presentations.
Increased Productivity with ASUS EzLink Technology
The MB168B features ASUS EzLink technology that offloads graphics processing from the PC to dedicated hardware in the monitor. As a result, a PC can drive up to five MB168B monitors at the same time, regardless of its own graphics capability - it just needs sufficient USB ports. EzLink also automatically restores application window positions as a MB168B monitor is connected and disconnected, and automatically rotates the image between landscape and portrait modes, as required.

Two Screens Are Better Than One
The 15.6-inch MB168B portable USB-powered monitor needs just one USB cable for both its video signal and power to deliver up to a 1366 x 768 Full HD resolution. Thanks to the higher bandwidth of USB 3.0, experience fast, fluid images from your connected device that makes having an on-the-go multi-display setup a reality. What's more, the MB168B is backwards compatible with a notebook or desktop PC USB 2.0 port.*
Sleek And Ultra-Portable With A Zen-Inspired Design
With a slim 8mm (0.3-inch) profile and tipping the scales at just 800g (1.76 pounds), MB168B is an incredibly slim and light companion display, ideal for a simple on-the-go dual-monitor setup and mobile presentations.
Stylish And Durable
A durable metallic finish with a fine pattern of concentric circles makes MB168B the perfect complement to your notebook. And for added durability, it comes with a protective carrying case that doubles as an adjustable stand for tabletop use.
Adjusting To Your Needs
MB168B automatically senses its orientation and switches the display between landscape and portrait based on its position; while backlight brightness is also automatically adjusted based on environmental lighting, getting brighter in the light and dimmer in the dark.
Bright and dark ambient environmentsAutomatic Lighting
When AI Light is on, the ambient light sensor automatically detects ambient lighting conditions, intelligently adjusting the optimal screen brightness for comfortable viewing and enhanced energy savings.

I like that the carrying case doubles as a stand, The black flap in the front makes me want to to keep trying to move a trackpad mouse (as if there were a keyboard there)
I noticed some reviewers say that it's fragile. Which is a big concern while working around 3 clingy dogs. But I use it on a soft palette so if the dogs knock it over, it will land on something soft.
I was disappointed that it didn't work with my Chromebook. It came on (somewhat intermittently) but my mouse wouldn't move over to the monitor and I couldn't change any settings on my Chromebook (settings were locked/greyed). Featured in my photo is my HP Pavilion. It's a heavy laptop and I usually don't like to move it around as much as my Chromebook.
I was also disappointed that non USB end of the connection cable appears to be proprietary. I was kind of hoping that it would be a micro USB - something easily replaceable. It s 3 foot black cord. Easy to misplace.. I'll just have to be extra careful.
There seems to be teeny tiny bit lag in computer performance when I use the monitor. But I think convenience is worth it.
I saw that some people are able to hook up two of these. I didn't do that but when working on my counter, I plugged in a regular monitor via HDMI and this monitor Via USB and they both worked. My computer automatically recognized both monitors. No special setup required.
Or for some reason, it seems that i can't get sound through my HDMI connection if the ASUS monitor is connected at the same time. Even when I tell the computer to get sound through the connection.

The resolution on this screen isn’t quite as good as my computer, but for the cost I’m not expecting the same sharpness I’d get from a $1.5k laptop. I use my computer screen for what needs to look good, and my second screen for stuff where resolution isn’t as important, like documents. It’s perfect for Zoom calls where I need to reference my notes or a document while still being able to see the other people in the meeting. I also use it in small groups at the kidney table in my classroom. I can display material from PowerPoints, visual prompts, or testing stimuli to kids on the second screen while referencing my notes or recording data on my main screen.
If you’ve been looking to add a second screen to your laptop, this screen is portable, affordable, and reliable. Highly recommmend!

Uno schermo sottile essenziale per chi necessita di doppio schermo, comodo da portare ovunque e poco ingombrante a casa, non necessita di alimentazione perchè si attacca con il cavo usb al pc. Super soddisfatta.
Il est vraiment parfait. Vendu avec un étuit qui permet de le caler le temps de l'utilisation et de le ranger une fois terminée.
La qualité est vraiment superbe , c'est du haut niveau. Il est fin et léger, très pratique : aucun défaut et le prix n'est pas si cher surtout pour la marque ASUS
