ASUS Announces ZenScreen MB16ACV

This sleek portable monitor weighs just 0.83 kg, has an ultraslim 10.5 mm profile, and utilizes an innovative USB-C® hybrid-signal solution for compatibility with laptops via USB Type-C and Type-A. It supports ASUS DisplayWidget software that senses the orientation of the monitor and automatically switches between landscape and portrait modes. For added convenience, ZenScreen MB16ACV includes a fold-out kickstand and tripod socket.

[1] Tested by an independent third-party laboratory according to the ISO 22196 standard (Measurement of antibacterial activity on plastics and other non-porous surfaces), using bacterial cultures that include Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with an antibacterial activity result of R 2 compared to an untreated surface. (R = 2 indicates a 99% reduction in bacterial activity.

• Antibacterial treatment

ZenScreen MB16ACV is the world’s first portable monitor to feature an ionic silver treatment embedded in the bezels and rear of the monitor to offer long-lasting antibacterial protection, inhibiting up to 99.9% bacterial growth and adhesion to keep key areas of the monitor clean and hygienic. This treatment has been tested according to the JIS Z 2801 and ISO 22196: 2011 antibacterial activity measurement standards, and potentially reduces the spread of harmful bacteria.

• Work in comfort

ZenScreen MB16ACV uses an innovative USB-C hybrid-signal connection that handles both power and video signals via a single cable. Its reversible any-way-up design enables quick connections to laptops and other compatible devices, supports DisplayPort Alternate mode and USB 3.0 signals, and includes a driver to support USB Type-A.

A fold-out kickstand props the monitor up on any flat surface, enabling easy tilt adjustments to ensure comfortable viewing angles and working positions. For added convenience, there’s also a 1/4-inch threaded socket at the rear to attach ZenScreen MB16ACV to a tripod or table mount.

When connected to a laptop, ASUS DisplayWidget software automatically senses the orientation of ZenScreen MB16ACV and switches between landscape and portrait modes. The former is ideal for presentations and spreadsheets, while the latter offers a perfect view of documents, books or websites.
