华硕 ZenScreen MB16AC 的硬件规格是典型的笔记本电脑屏幕，考虑到我们谈论的是便携式显示器，这是一件好事。我们欣赏这款显示器轻巧纤薄的设计，以及在没有 USB 3.0 Type C 端口可用时通过 USB 3.0 Type A 连接它的选项。(The hardware specifications of the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC are typical for laptop screens and, considering that we are talking about a portable monitor, that is a good thing. We appreciate the lightweight and slim design of this monitor, and also the option to connect it via USB 3.0 Type A when no USB 3.0 Type C port is available.)
使用华硕 ZenScreen MB16AC
当我们第一次看到华硕 ZenScreen MB16AC(ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC)时，我们对两件事感到惊讶：它的纤薄和轻巧。这些属性表明，这款显示器的设计旨在实现最大的便携性。它很容易滑入您的包中，因此在您旅行时随身携带不应该成为负担。
如果您是记者、开发人员或经常使用Office应用程序，则拥有可用的辅助屏幕非常有用。我发现它在写作时很有用：我的整个笔记本电脑屏幕都可用于Google Docs，我可以保留其他东西，例如带有文档的Web 浏览器窗口(web browser window)或 Slack(documentation or Slack)，在ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC上打开。
开发人员也可以从这种双屏设置中受益：在主屏幕上（在他们的笔记本电脑上）编写代码，同时在辅助监视器上拥有API 文档或测试环境。(API documentation)当然，在其他情况下双屏设置也很有用，尤其是在您同时打开多个应用程序的情况下。
关于它的设计，这款便携式显示器是一个漂亮的设备。屏幕本身有小边框，这让它感觉时尚和高科技。底部挡板比其他挡板大，但其金属饰面看起来很棒。这也是您可以找到华硕 ZenScreen MB16AC(ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC)上可用的物理按钮的地方。左侧的两个用于进入显示器的菜单并调整其设置 - 例如亮度、颜色配置文件(color profile)等。
在右侧，还有另一个物理按钮，用于打开或关闭屏幕。另外，华硕(ASUS)在右上角打了一个孔（是的，没错），你可以用它在里面放一支笔，使显示器立起来(monitor stand)。
显示器的背面也有金属饰面，表面蚀刻有华硕(ASUS)传统（优雅）的同心圆设计图案。(design pattern)
华硕 ZenScreen MB16AC(ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC)的外壳也可以转换成支架。它看起来坚固且质量上乘，我们确信即使您掉落它也可以保护显示器。
不幸的是，我们不太喜欢它作为一个支架：找到正确的折叠方式以使其工作很困难，并且会很快惹恼您，尤其是在有多种折叠选项的情况下。但是，在掌握了窍门之后，我们设法将显示器牢牢地放在了我们的桌子上。
在使用华硕 ZenScreen MB16AC 时(ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC)，我们的印象是它的亮度很高，尽管规格告诉我们事实并非如此。220cd/m2 值相当低，但我们不这么认为。尽管笔记本电脑的显示屏具有更高的规格，但它感觉比我们测试笔记本电脑的屏幕更亮。(test laptop)
我们检查了华硕 ZenScreen MB16AC(ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC)在使用直接USB 3.0 Type C 电缆(Type C cable)和通过USB 3.0 Type C转 A 适配器连接到我们的笔记本电脑时的工作原理。它两次都完美无缺。
USB是连接任何设备的便捷解决方案，便携式显示器也不例外。然而，USB 连接(USB connection)也会增加延迟，这在我们谈论屏幕时非常重要。尽管华硕 ZenScreen MB16AC(ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC)在使用Office 应用程序(Office apps)或浏览网页等日常活动中表现出色，但它并不是娱乐的绝佳选择。我们试图在Netflix上的便携式显示器上观看电影，但图像卡顿。我们还测试了显示器在游戏中的表现，因此我们使用它来运行英雄(Legends)联盟。(League)不幸的是，USB连接(USB connection)游戏卡顿时显示出它的局限性。在射击游戏或赛车游戏等速度更快的动作游戏中，这种滞后可能会更加明显。
总而言之，华硕 ZenScreen MB16AC 被证明是一款出色的便携式显示器。我们喜欢使用它，而且我们知道它可以帮助任何人提高工作效率。如果您主要是笔记本电脑用户，并且想要在任何地方进行双屏设置（或者，为什么不设置三屏设置），华硕 ZenScreen MB16AC 可以帮助您实现。(All in all, the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC proved to be a great portable monitor. We loved using it, and we know that it can help anyone become more productive. If you are a laptop user mainly, and you want to have a dual-screen setup (or, why not, a triple screen setup) everywhere you go, the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC can help you have that.)
您对华硕 ZenScreen MB16AC 有何看法(ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC)？
我们喜欢华硕 ZenScreen MB16AC(ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC)，并且在测试过程中使用它很开心。对于主要在笔记本电脑上工作并希望台式机用户通常可以使用双屏体验的人来说，它看起来是一个很好的补充。你有同样的感觉吗？你会买这款便携式显示器吗？

Verdict
We enjoyed using the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC portable monitor. It is a beautiful piece of technology. We were also easily convinced by the vivid colors, the Full HD resolution, and the USB Type C connection. However, the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC is a device that does not target a large audience. This portable monitor is relatively expensive and aimed at people who travel a lot and benefit from working in a dual-screen setup. If you are such a person, then you cannot go wrong with buying the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC, so go ahead and buy one. It can boost your productivity, if you find yourself often working while traveling, during conferences or in hotel rooms.
Unboxing the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC
The ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC portable monitor has a 15.6-inch screen, so its box is not big. The package is manufactured from thick premium cardboard, and while the upper side is black, the bottom of the box is white. On its upper side, you can see a large picture of the monitor inside, and its name. The bottom of the box is blank, but some of the main features of the monitor are printed on one of the box's sides.
Inside the packaging, the monitor sits inside a sandwich-like shock absorbing cardboard wrap and is tucked inside a styrofoam bag. When you unbox everything, you find the monitor, its cover that also converts into a stand, a USB Type C cable, a USB Type C to A adapter, the warranty documents, and a quick setup guide.
Unboxing the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC is a pleasant experience. The package looks beautiful, and the care for details is obvious.
Hardware specifications
The ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC uses a 15.6-inch widescreen with an aspect ratio of 16:9 and Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel offers good color reproduction, a maximum contrast ratio of 800:1, and a maximum brightness of 220 cd/m2.
It uses USB 3.0 Type-C to receive the video signal and power from the device to which you connect it. It can also connect using a USB Type C to A adapter, if the laptop or device into which you plug it, does not have a USB Type C port available. The ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC has a typical power consumption of fewer than 8 Watts. In power saving mode or when it is off, it does not draw any power.
As for its physical dimensions, the monitor has a width, height, and depth of 14.16 x 8.91 x 0.31 inches (359.7 x 226.4 x 8.0 mm). The ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC weighs just 1.71 pounds or 0.78 kilograms.

The hardware specifications of the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC are typical for laptop screens and, considering that we are talking about a portable monitor, that is a good thing. We appreciate the lightweight and slim design of this monitor, and also the option to connect it via USB 3.0 Type A when no USB 3.0 Type C port is available.
Using the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC
The first time we saw the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC we were amazed by two things: how slim and how light it is. These attributes show that this monitor was designed for maximum portability. It slips in your bag easily so it should not be a burden to carry around while you travel.
Having a secondary screen available is useful to have if you are a journalist, a developer or if you work with Office apps a lot. I found it useful when writing: I had my entire laptop screen available for Google Docs, and I could keep other things such as a web browser window with documentation or Slack, opened on the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC.
Developers could benefit from this dual-screen setup also: writing code on the main screen (on their laptops) while having API documentation or their testing environment on the secondary monitor. There are, of course, other situations in which a dual-screen setup can be useful, especially if you work with many apps opened at the same time.
Regarding its design, this portable monitor is a beautiful device. The screen itself has small bezels, and that makes it feel stylish and high-tech. The bottom bezel is larger than the rest, but its metallic finish looks great. This is also the place where you can find the physical buttons available on the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC. The two ones on the left are used to enter the monitor's menu and adjust its settings - things like the brightness, the color profile, and so forth.
On the right side, there is another physical button that is used for turning the screen on or off. Also, ASUS put a hole (yes, that's right) on the right corner, which you can use to put a pen inside to make the monitor stand.
The back of the monitor also has a metallic finishing, with ASUS' traditional (and elegant) design pattern of concentric circles etched into the surface.
The cover that you get with the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC converts into a stand also. It looks robust and of good quality and we are certain that it can protect the monitor even if you drop it.
Unfortunately, we did not like it much as a stand: finding the right way to fold it so that it works is difficult and can rapidly annoy you, especially as there are multiple folding options. However, after we got the hang of it, we managed to place the monitor pretty firmly on our desk.
While using the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC, our impression was that its brightness is high, although the specifications tell us it is not. The 220cd/m2 value is fairly low, but we did not think so. It felt brighter than the screen of our test laptop, although the laptop's display has higher specs.
We checked how the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC works when connected to our laptop both using the direct USB 3.0 Type C cable and via the USB 3.0 Type C to A adapter. It worked both times flawlessly.
USB is a handy solution for connecting any device, and portable monitors are no different. However, USB connections also add latency, and that matters quite a lot when we are talking about screens. Although the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC performs admirably in regular activities such as working with Office apps or browsing the web, it is not a great choice for entertainment. We tried to watch a movie on Netflix, on the portable monitor, but the image was stuttering. We also tested how the monitor fares in gaming, so we ran League of Legends using it. Unfortunately, the USB connection showed its limitations as the game stuttered. In even faster action games such as shooters or racing games, this lag is likely to be even more noticeable.
All in all, the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC proved to be a great portable monitor. We loved using it, and we know that it can help anyone become more productive. If you are a laptop user mainly, and you want to have a dual-screen setup (or, why not, a triple screen setup) everywhere you go, the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC can help you have that.
What is your opinion about the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC?
We liked the ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC and enjoyed using it during testing. It looks like a good addition to anyone who works mainly on a laptop and wants the dual-screen experience usually available to desktop users. Do you feel the same? Would you buy this portable monitor?
