Frequently asked questions
What resolution does the ASUS ZenScreen MB16ACV run at?
The panel shows 1920x1080 pixels across 15.6 inches, around 141 pixels per inch. That is Full HD, the entry level definition, comfortable up to 24 inches and stretched beyond that. The IPS panel keeps colours stable whatever the viewing angle.
Is the ASUS ZenScreen MB16ACV a good monitor for gaming?
Not as a priority. The panel tops out at 60 Hz, enough for office work, video and slow paced games. For fast games, the 144 Hz and higher models in the comparison remain far better suited. The 15.6 inches at 1920x1080 also weigh on the frame rate the graphics card can hold.
Does the ASUS ZenScreen MB16ACV have a USB-C connection?
Yes, a USB-C port sits on its connection panel, which keeps the number of desk cables down. Beyond that it goes without HDR, a height adjustable stand, built in speakers and a curved panel. With no height adjustment, a monitor arm quickly becomes useful to line the panel up with your eyes.
Is the ASUS ZenScreen MB16ACV worth 133 euros?
At 133 euros it scores 4.3/5 across 2,100 Amazon reviews. The score sits in the healthy middle of the comparison. It sits in the Portable category of our selection. Main strength: compact and lightweight form factor. Main compromise: no speakers.
