| Asus Zenscreen Model MB16ACM Full HD Portable Monitor |
I usually buy everything on Amazon, but I bought the model from elsewhere because it was not available on Amazon when I checked it out a few weeks ago. Now the page appears and indicates that it will be available as of October 2, 2018. Very strange despite the presence of many models of Zenscreen, this model is the first with a built-in battery and is called Zenscreen Go.
So let's start with the professionals.
01- Perfect size and portability. Thinner and almost as big as my laptop. It almost fits in a travel bag / mobile car.
02 - The effect of setting and polishing is incredible.
03- Provided with shielded magnetic cover that works as support and fixes well. Although it's in good condition, I still have a foldable case for the screen, so I don't use it much.
04- Light and fluffy, even with a hat.
05- It has a battery. (Previous models didn't do this).
06- Connection Cable. (It's a veiled blessing and an obstacle to certain uses.) In the next column, you can expand your laptop desk (or phone) without a wall adapter or lots of cables.
07 is so cool. I have read previous comments and stated that the brightness is lower than the laptop I am using and I am ready to accept it, but I must say that this model is as bright as the Samsung Notebook 9 Pro 2 in 1 75%.
08- For Samsung Note 9 and DeX. This is the main reason why I want this screen. Except for travel purposes. I don't want to use HP Elite for my Note 9/9 and Dix. I noticed and when they released the battery version, I had to get it. It works perfectly with DeX. No power outages or message. However, if you are using Note 9 with DeX, there is a downside below.
09- Multiple monitoring functions. Asus says you can connect multiple Zen monitors and I don't have another ZenScreen to test theory, but my laptop uses the monitor to connect the three monitors in the configuration. When I connected the zenscreen display to my laptop, it came out with four screens, which was really surprising.
10. There are pen holes. It comes with a real pen that can be inserted into the slot to support the screen without a pen cap. I really loved it
11 pictures and horizontal form. (Although I have not tested the image mode.

Defects (as per your request) ...
1- Not a touch screen (even if the recently announced model is called Zenscreen Go Touch and will be released within a few months).
2 - Even if it is installed on a mobile phone, a cable must be connected. Comfortable, USB mouse or keyboard not allowed. It is said to be easier said than done when users have to keep the keyboard or mouse near Bluetooth or rely on their phones for use as a keyboard and mouse. Asus must include an additional USB-C hub so that other devices can be connected via mobile signals.
No other USB-C cable is currently available. It's worrying because if you lose that, that's a problem. It cannot be purchased even on the ASUS website. In addition, the cable is not displayed by Asus or Displaylnk. I plan to put cover labels on the cables to indicate that the zenscreen display can distinguish between other USB-C cables. Just tried the NekTeck USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 cable (B0718Z1MWF) and see if it works.
4- The control buttons are not enough. There is no instant return button for the system. You should return to the starting point via the menu.
(The temporary solution is to download the controls from the Asus site on a laptop computer to the Asus Viewer and then access them with the mouse. See one of my photos.)
5. There is no external power source / USB-C port or two USB-C ports. While it's convenient to connect a laptop or mobile phone with just one cable, it's nice to have an additional USB-C port to operate the screen without having to empty the laptop or cell phone on the other side of the screen.
6- Use your phone's touch screen as a mouse in Samsung DeX mode. DexPad cannot be used for this screen because DeXpad output is input via HDMI, while Asus screen is input via USB-C. Since Note 9 can be switched to DeX mode directly via USB-C cable, the wired or wireless mouse or keyboard cannot be used. Users must use a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse.
Other instructions:
The screen is bright to me and basically a metallic body, but I don't use it outdoors. It is thin, I am afraid to crush it. Even if it could be cheaper anywhere, I buy it from Amazon because the Amazon return policy is better than the external seller if something goes wrong.
I'd like a bigger bag. My Tomtoc 15.6 case is a small box that contains Galaxy Note 9 Pro with Asus zenscreen laptop.
I plan to purchase a separate keyboard / mouse or travel device set, but I don't know which device.
I'm checking the video but it doesn't look good. We hope this is useful for people who want to use Zenscreen MB16AP.

Edit 2018-11-05
Replace the USB-C cable:
I bought NekTeck USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 (B0718Z1MWF) cable from Amazon and I am glad to inform you that it is a suitable alternative to the USB-C cable that comes with USB-C from Asus, the length corresponds to the length of the supplied Asus cable.
Battery consumption:
I've tested battery life from 0% to 100% and it takes about two and a half hours to charge the ASUS USB-C cable and charger. It starts from 0% at 7:30 pm and ends at 10:00 pm (I spent 5 minutes or 5 minutes because I didn't end up watching).
tensile strength:
She wonders if the screen is still working with a laptop or connected phone, even if the battery is almost empty. There is an internal setting (see recent pictures) with which you can choose whether a computer, laptop, or mobile device is connected to the monitor. With the same settings, you can turn on the computer / laptop. However, it appears that you cannot determine whether you want to turn off your mobile device. I played YouTube video until the screen fell to 5%. If you do not connect the phone, the phone will not be able to load the screen. If you connect it to a pc / laptop and it goes down to 1%, then the screen becomes blank. As a result, you need to connect your screen to an electrical outlet to charge it. After charging the screen for approximately 5 minutes, it contains 6% to 8% juice, so you can reconnect the cable to your laptop and when you reconnect it. A popup window will appear asking if you want to use the screen with your laptop. In this case, the laptop charges the battery and you can use the screen as a second screen.
Portrait / Landscape:
Try what I do with Samsung Note 9 and I can't find a way to put the Zenscreen Go screen in portrait mode. Since it switches to DeX mode, no setting is displayed in DeX which enables the phone to be turned into portrait mode. I think it's intended because DeX is always in desktop mode and most offices are in landscape mode.
Now that I have my own laptop, it can automatically switch to portrait mode in two ways: (help read the manual)
Option 1: Use the laptop / computer screen settings, choose the screen and switch to portrait mode.
Option 2: This is the best way. With the Asus Display tool, the screen automatically switches to portrait or landscape mode depending on the orientation. It works fine. (look at the picture).
