ASUS MB169B+ 15.6" Full HD 1920x1080 IPS USB Portable Monitor

This is an absolutely fantastic, slim, portable display. Im an app developer and it slips in my bag with ease. Before I plugged it into my MacBook, I downloaded and installed the driver from the Asus website. However, the screen was extremely laggy. Just moving the mouse around the screen was a glitchy nightmare. I read all of the reviews and couldnt find anyone experiencing the same thing. I began to think it was my computer, but everything was up-to-spec. After about an hour of Googling, I came across the DisplayLink driver page. Just so everyone is clear, Asus makes the hardware, but its using DisplayLink as a driver. The one on the Asus site is either outdated or incomplete. I downloaded and installed the driver directly from the DisplayLink website. Amazon wont let me post the link, but just do a quick google search for DisplayLink Mac driver and youll be all set! All of the lag is gone! The display runs perfectly. I love this thing. Im probably going to get another soon. Very glad I found this. I hope the driver tip helps someone else!

As an external auditor, I travel from client to client. As such, I was looking for a lightweight portable monitor. Well, I can easily say I found it. This monitor does just what I need it to. It is very portable and easy to set up, no matter where I am working. I even set this monitor up while I am cuddled up on the couch studying for the CPA exam. This portable monitor easily enables me to increase productivity and comfort while working with multiple applications. To top it off, the monitor is Mac compatible (just install displayLink) driver and viola! All and all a great addition to my tech inventory. Note: The USB connection at the monitor is not the best connection, minor jostling will cause the cable to become slightly disconnected. This is a minor irritation and not worth lowering my overall rating. I just want other buyers to be aware of this flaw. All you have to do is re secure the connection and things are right again.

These ASUS portable monitors are outstanding. I have two of them. I used the 169B, non-IPS version for a long time but could not easily get the viewing angle just right so that I could see both this and my laptop screen well when using either the provided case/stand, or an aftermarket stand. To solve the problem, I bought this IPS version which does indeed fix the viewing angle issue. Better still, buy the MountEra Side Mount Clip which holds the monitor at a perfect angle to view. Now I can use both extra monitors and the main laptop display with all of them perfectly visible at the same time.

I loved the idea of getting a portable monitor… Then I actually got one. This ASUS monitor is amazing!!! I can’t say enough about the light weight, perfect picture/color and sleek design. But the thing I like the most and also the reason I bought it was for ease of use. I no longer have to drag out a monitor to have duel screens; it sits in my desk drawer until I need an extra monitor with my laptop. I am also a programmer and screen real-estate is very important to me. I have had this for about four months now and have already taken it to a conference, several long meetings and a three day training session. Just one more plus about it is the USB 3 models don’t use external power, I cannot stress enough that this feature alone is great. The ASUS MB169B+ that I bought comes with a case that is sturdy and not at all cheap; by this I mean that I have had it for about four months now and it really has no sign of wear yet. And, as for usage, I use this monitor about three to four times a week and return it back to the case after every use. After seeing the quality and performance of this portable monitor I am now thinking of looking at getting one of their laptops. ASUS seems to make really quality stuff, well monitors anyway. It has worked flawlessly for me but if it ever gives up on me I will surely buy another ASUS. I would buy it again and I would recommend it to anyone.

I bought this for my work laptop to help make it easier to work remotely,(I have 3 Monitors at work) Just working on the laptop was a no-go. This is perfect, the size is right, not too small, not too big. One of the best part is that it is easy to set-up. Just download the correct driver from displaylink and wallah! but thats the best part... Soo i downloaded the DisplayLink app for Android, and i have a USB-C to HDMI/3x3,0 USB Hub. I could now Initiate Samsung Dex on this screen, soo with my BT Keyboard and Mouse, i am using my Note 8 has a portable Laptop! I will be trying to convince the president of the office to buy one for everyone else!
