    Awesome Portable Monitor
    Currently writing this review on the monitor. Works wonderfully on my MSI GS60 Ghost Pro. I actually had a little but of trouble figuring out how to turn the monitor on at first. It was recognized on my system but wasn't powering on. I was worried that the unit was a DOA but you have to push the scroll button on the side in not up or down. Read the manual dummy!All and all I think it is a great portable monitor. I was looking to make a portable battlestation and wanted to have another monitor. This fit the bill nicely. I have not attempted to connect it to another system since this is the only one that has a USB-C port. In reading other user reviews I do not think that you will have any luck with any adapters that are out there for USB3.

    Product: ASUS MB169C+ 15.6" Full HD 1920x1080 IPS USB Type-C Powered Eye Care Portable Monitor
    Computer: XPS 13 (2015)

    Well designed product. Little to be desired. Simple plug-and-play.
    Monitor travels with me on a daily basis to work and the screen quality is perfect for my purposes. Great anti-glare design and I have noticed that the eye care features make the screen a easier on my eyes than my laptop's 4K display; however, there is a noticeable deficiency in the colors and viewing angles, which is expected of a portable monitor. My work solely consists of PowerPoint and Excel, so you could say my work is not very color-sensitive. If you are a graphic designer, this monitor is not comparable to a high-quality stationary monitor, but is likely your best option at the time of this writing if you are set on a portable monitor for travel.

    Less importantly, the case-stand is very sleek and effective in its design. I was very skeptical at first with the three small patches/notches to angle the laptop, but now I wouldn't want them any other way. I think they really complement the "simple, yet high quality" essence of this product. Lastly, the whole thing is extremely light and fits perfectly into my medium sized laptop backpack.

    Pros:
    Product design
    Screen quality
    Super lightweight - Can pick up with two fingers
    Innovative case / stand

    Cons:
    Poor colors

    Other Thoughts: I have tested the monitor with other laptops using a USB A to USB Type-C, and I can confirm it will not work. Only purchase the Type-C version if your laptop has a Type-C port. Otherwise, I recommend looking at the MB169B+ version.

    1.0 out of 5 stars For the non-techy shopper...
    Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    I'm not exactly a technical dunce, but will admit I didn't appreciate the difference between a Type C cord and the one actually needed. I understood that the port needed to not only connect the monitor for a signal, but it also needed the capability of charging it, and read the reviews/recommendations. Check, check. And, I even bought the "Amazon" recommended cord USB 3.1 Type C Cable to go with it. Bottom line, it doesn't work with that cable. You need a cable that essentially looks like an iphone-to-iphone (or iPad) type cord (not exactly, but you get my drift -- it is not the rectangle plug-in on one end that I purchased). And, I read you needed to buy the cord mentioned above to make it work. The monitor actually comes with the cord that apparently works, but I don't have that type of port in my laptop. I'm not sure why this is not more clear when you purchase. And, maybe it is clear to those much more saavy than I. Having said all the above, I dearly wished it worked. It is a beautiful lightweight monitor that appeared to be perfect for what I needed. I gave it a "1" star, because the description of the product is inadequate to educate the layman buyer.

    Do not believe the 'first look' reviews, which are nearly all of the articles and videos on this so far. The Asus rep at the Jan 2016 shows, must have told every person who filmed for their websites misinformation. They all mentioned that this could also work with USB 3.0 with an adapter. It will not. Asus themselves set up a Q&A page. Here is one answer.

    "Q4: Is MB169C+ backward compatible with USB2.0/3.0 devices?

    A: No. All current USB2.0/3.0 devices do not enable “DP Alt Mode” or “DisplayPort over USB-C” and therefore cannot connect to MB169C+"

    So make sure you have a DP Alt Mode USB-C and you'll be golden, with zero drivers needed. Otherwise avoid.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2016

    Excellent monitor for USB-C laptops. I own the Chromebook Pixel 2015 and this works perfectly with it, no drivers required. I'd been looking for a portable monitor option for my chromebook and hadn't been able to find one until now. There's only one cord that comes with the device, a USB-C one and once you plug it in the monitor works immediately - no hassle at all.

    It's great quality, IPS and 1080 display and I love using it for playing tv/movies (I'm playing Hulu now on it while writing this review). My only real complaint is that it's not the brightest monitor (I've seen complaints that this is due to how the Pixel charges it, but I'm not sure). If you own the Pixel I would estimate it's max brightness to be equal to the Pixel at about 60%. It's definitely not bad, but there are situations where I wish it were brighter. The monitor is incredibly light, and the case/stand that it comes with is fairly intuitive and definitely makes the monitor feel secure. It also seems to drain the battery life very little - I've been getting 7-8 solid hours with it plugged in easily, and I'm a reasonably heavy user. I would estimate I get 8-9 without it plugged in.

    2.0 out of 5 stars A great idea that fails to make the transition between the two standards of USB A and USB C.
    Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    As a display, this device is fairly adequate. The colours are quite washed out though the response time remains a respectable 5ms.

    The biggest issue with the device is that it is not well suited for the time of its release. USB C is a great idea but it has yet to truly catch on. What is needed is a solution that allows those who want a device that will work with USB C down the road but still be able to enjoy the same experience with their older machines today. This is something that ASUS just does not provide.

    I have plenty of devices that have display port compatibility yet don't have USB C. If ASUS provided a solution like a power adapter with a display port plug in, I would be raving about this device. Instead, I'm thinking I'll just return the thing. I'd much rather opt for a solution that works for me rather than a solution that wants me to work for it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Un monitor excelente para toda persona que requiera una extensión de su escritorio en cualquier ambiente móvil
    Reviewed in Mexico on January 14, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    Llevo un poco mas de un mes de utilizar este monitor como una extensión de mi escritorio, anteriormente usaba otro monitor de marca HP U160 y las diferencias son muy marcadas, ambos tienen pros y contras pero la calidad de imagen de este monitor asus es sobresaliente.
    Hacer uso de la nueva conectividad USB tipo C es algo muy bueno ya que desde el punto de vista fisico solo se requiere un solo cable de dimensiones mucho mas reducidas, la comparación con el monitor hp es que este requiere un cable USB tipo A to mini A con un conector adicional tipo A para uso adicional de voltaje, si el puerto principal que se usa para la transmision de datos y energia no es suficiente, por lo que se utilizarian dos puertos USB.
    Ahora desde el punto de vista de la cubierta, tengo un detalle y es que el monitor HP U160 tiene una cubierta mucho mas practica que la que se utiliza en este monitor ASUS, en definitiva es poco practica y un poco riesgosa su uso, ya que esta cubierta al momento de montar el monitor para su visualizacion sobre el escritorio, este nunca sujeta de manera segura al monitor y solo lo detiene una pequeña muesca que esta sobre la base de la cubierta, ademas que al momento de guardar el monitor este tambien es poco funcional debido a que tienes que sujetar el monitor con toda la mano para poderlo guardar y este se ensucia facilmente con la huellas de las manos. El monitor HP tiene una cubierta muy practica que solamente con una mano puedes colocar, guardar y acomodarlo en cualquier lugar, ademas que la cuerta que queda sobre el escritorio sirve como mousepad.
    Por la parte de calidad de imagen, no hay comparación la resolucion y calidad de imagen del monitor ASUS es sobresaliente.
    En definitiva un monitor para uso externo excelente

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Unit, a couple of drawbacks, but no deal breakers
    Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I love having this monitor. I work from home in a small office space, and this unit is fabulous. The colour and brightness are good, and it's really sleek. I have found two drawbacks.

    The first has been mentioned by a few reviewers here, and that's that the cord is quite loose. If you put this on a stand and don't touch it, you'll be fine. But if you knock it AT ALL, your unit will disconnect. To remedy this, I've just molded some sugru around the make part of the cord that links to the screen. that works to hold it in place.

    The other drawback that I have found is that the resolution is funky and I can't find a driver to get the size of the page or program I'm viewing to match the size of the screen. That said, I'm not terrible tech savvy, and it's entirely possible that someone more adept than me would be able to fix this pretty quickly.

    I would definitely buy this again. :)

    This is a great product, it is very portable (light weight) and works well with MacBook Pro (late 2016) via USB-C port.
    The only thing I would criticize is that the colour is not as vivid as most laptop's build-in display or as iPad. But since this is a portable monitor and I should not compare them anyways.
    Overall, satisfied!!!

    I have this paired with my UX501VW which has a 4K display. Having a companion display at FullHD makes this a very versatile combination. I do a lot of coding and some of the tools I use aren't updated to scale properly with 4K. The addition of this monitor makes a world of difference when i'm at a client site doing work. It's slim and fits nicely in my laptop bag.
