This is exactly what I needed and at a reasonable price. I needed an extra screen for my work laptop for traveling and this extra screen came in handy. It’s light weight, nice size, and with it being portable (also thin), allow for quick setup and easy packing. Only downside is the screen, is the stand (also doubles as a cover), needs to be more sturdier or just make another.

At first I was going to give this 4 stars becasue I thought the cover that turns into a stand only made the monitor very angled back and awkward as many others mentioned. However, after using it for a couple days I realized I wans't using the stand correctly and after one adjustment the angle is correct! See photo. That said the cover doesn't protect the whole thing but does protect the screen side well.
I am using this with a Dell XPS 15 (2020) laptop. All I did was plug the monitor into my USB C port and BOOM connected. I did have to change from mirroring to extension in the settings but that was it. This fit perfectly in my laptop sleeve I already have because it is so thin and about the same LxW as my laptop. Frankly, with the work I do not having this laptop plugged in all the time is not possible so I can't speak to battery drain.
Overall, with the early black Friday sale this was a steal I'll use a lot!

I couldn’t be happie with puchase. I bought this so I can have a similar two-monitor setup that I have at home when I’m traveling. The monitor has great resolution and various brightness and blue light blocking settings. I was pleasantly surprised by the adapter that lets me connect it to my laptop via the USB 3.0 port because i use the one USB-C port on my laptop for power. It fits perfectly in my laptop backpack and it’s so leightweignt I barely notice the difference. Because of the smaller size compared to my 27” secondary monitor, I now use it as a third monitor at home too. It sits directly beside my laptop and I use it to keep my frequently used Teams chat visible throughout the day.

OK this monitor is FANSTASTIC. I bought 2 for travel so I could still have a 3 monitor setup on the road. USB-C and mated with XPS13 seamlessly. The hole in the bottom right corner is designed to stick a pen through as an alternate stand, and it works surprisingly well. Lightweight and easy to transport. I used to use my iPad pro as a 2nd laptop monitor and while the resolution is better on there, its also about 5x the price to use as JUST a monitor.

Really impressed with this portable monitor! I had been looking at buying one for months and kept seeing horror stories of every single product I'd found (maybe I shouldn't read so many reviews), then committed to this ASUS ZenScreen 15.6". It's incredibly lightweight, more so than even my Mac Air. Speaking of which, I'm using a 2020 Mac Air and it works perfect with this monitor. The USBC cable connection is super simple, and the fact that the monitor doesn't need a separate power source makes it truly portable. I will note that with it's extremely light design, I'd be careful about transporting - it isn't flimsy by any means, but much thinner than your average monitor, leaving it a bit more prone to cracking if not stored/carried properly. Overall, I definitely recommend this if you are looking for a sleek, attractive, reliable product. I'm impressed!

Despite the flimsy stand, this is a great travel monitor! I am using it with a Microsoft Surface Pro. Both the monitor and my computer neatly fit into my backpack or computer satchel. The monitor comes with a USB-C cord that plugged right into my Microsoft Surface Pro. The monitor has display setting adjustments to include BlueLight level settings.
The only complaint is the stand. The stand folds up neatly and attaches to the monitor to protect the screen when traveling. But, when in use, it's flimsy and I've had the monitor slid off more than once. I will frequently prop a corner against a coffee mug to provide extra bracing.
For anyone who needs an extra monitor to work with while traveling, this is the monitor for you.

I bought a set of 2 of these while traveling for work. They do exactly what they say they do and work very well to give me the extra real estate I need when working in the go. Lightweight and slide right into my laptop case in order to always have with me.
Bonus. iPhone 15 pro max users can use this for screen mirroring. It does drain battery of phone faster and I recommend having the phone on a high power MagSafe charger when using but it works great. I just utilized it during a recent hospital stay.

Got this monitor so I could work “from home” in as many places as possible, whether my apartment, parent’s house, or girlfriend’s apartment. It’s perfect for that, giving me dual monitors from my work laptop pretty much anywhere. The screen quality is crystal clear (better than my 1 year old 14” 1080p laptop screen actually). Connection is simple and worked right out of the box. Stand took ~2 minutes to figure out, it’s not obvious but once you figure it out the viewing angle is spot on.

This screen is all i needed for my personal and business needs!! Lightweight, compact and the picture quality were the main reasons I chose this screen. The price was fair for the quality. The thin portable design makes it easy to just stick in your bag and take it with you wherever.

I had purchased a Lenovo ThinkVision M14 monitor from W*lm*rt and should have known better. The reviews were mixed on compatibility with MBP, and I spent 2 hours trying to figure out why it wouldn't connect with my laptop. Frantically ordered this one because it had pretty good reviews and BB said they could get it to me the day before my trip. They came through, and this Asus monitor came through! 5 minutes from unboxing to using. Hopefully it stays this great while I need to work remotely.
The one place the Lenovo has this beat is the stand for the monitor. I still need to figure this one out (I have the monitor leaning against a box in the photo)—but a monitor with a great stand and no connectivity (lenovo) isn't a good monitor at all. Asus Portable Monitor is the way to go.

I purchased this screen for my home office to add an additional monitor to my laptop. At work I use two monitors at my desk. This monitor works great, comes with a cover similar to the iPad flexible cover which the user can use as a stand. Uses a USB-c cable with USB adapter that I plug into my laptop. This little 15 inch monitor works great! Other uses is with gaming devices and add to android cell phones.

Previously purchased the AOC - E1659FWU 15.6" USB-3.0 which I had liked and has a much lower price point. However I got tired of the clearly viewable pixels. The extra $75-$100 is WORTH it.
Much better clarity, easy to see from most angles. It allows changing of the scale displayed, I never figured out how to do that on AOC. No additional power cord, just the USB-C cord it comes with which is flexible. There is no noticable delay (I don't game so check other reviews for that). it is thin & lightweight but doesn't feel floppy. It is just a hair long but does still allow me to zip my standard laptop bag closed. It looks professional (the case on the AOC makes me think of a gradeschool for some reason).
I highly recommend.

I was surprised how good it was! I use it as a second screen for my laptop to increase productivity instead of switching windows back and forth I can always have one window stay on one screen and other windows on the other. Fits in the same case that I use for my laptop. It’s light but still feels solid.

The monitor couldn't be easier to use. I agree with others who says the stand is a bit hard to figure out at first. Once you figure it out, it works fine in the upright position. In the tilted position I find the screen slip off the stand. I travel often, it is perfect as an extended monitor for any program I am using. I do agree there isn't much protection for the screen with the screen protector/stand. I am very cautious when traveling & keep it in a small laptop sleeve to add an extra layer of protection against breakage. Overall it has been a godsend to have the extended monitor when traveling with a laptop!

Love this! Working from home with a small laptop is not the worst thing but difficult to see excel charts and do 2 things at once on a small screen with ease. This monitor does the job. And it is beautiful! Clear, large and bright letters, which are adjustable. Easy to use. If you want another screen, go with this one. You won't regret it!

Awesome monitors for working on the go! One cable runs the display and the power, and the case is the stand! I couldn’t get it to work with a Nintendo Switch (the more expensive ones do that), but it has worked with every laptop (Windows and Apple) that I’ve plugged into it so far!

Sooo, I bought this as an “open box” excellent and there’s a sticker outside the huge shipping box saying all this and noted it was a store display model.. oh kayyy…. And When I opened the shipping box (UPS delivered by the way), well there is lots of bubble wrap and then A thick styrofoam piece at the bottom and The screen and the screen cover that wasn’t really on there, was sandwiched between that styrofoam plate and the numerous bubble wrap… and the molding of the top middle of the monitor was undone, but, I did snap it back and place and the monitor looks flawless.. like still like open box new.. the usb corded was wrapped with a twist tie, and there was a ziplock back with the instructions and maybe warranty info.
Simply put no original Asus box was included. I’d want to argue that maybe this should have been an open box “fair condition” because it was noted a floor display and I guess they tossed the original box and couldn’t improvise any better but, thankfully it wasn’t abused much as a store model.
Everything works ok as I connected this to my MacBook Air m2, flawlessly. Like I think it’s great regarding compatibility and the monitor turns on when it’s plugged to the usb c port of a computer.
But this undone mold is what kind of got me and I think our UPS driver chucks packages over the fence and we’re in a bad neighborhood and always lock out our fence, which could be the result of that but transportation wise I think it was still intact.

Got this to use as a secondary display with my surface pro 8. It works wonderfully for my use case.
I did not need a monitor with a crazy resolution or refresh rate as I use this mainly to watch class lectures or for reference material so I can take notes on my main screen without having to switch back and forth between windows.
The case works well and i haven't had any issues transporting it in my laptop bag.
Its an awesome little accessory and has definitely helped boost my productivity.
