"those setups also lack many of the convenience features that attracted me to this headset in the first place (numerous connectivity options and multipoint device connectivity is important for me because I WFH and this headset does double duty as my work headset and used for playing games on both PC and my Switch.)"
"Actually I love them so much I bought monitor stands and vesa brackets for them to use them when i’m home too."
"Minipc powers/displays to a monitor via a usb-c. Very convenient and great for a travel setup."

"They dont work wurh portal though"
"these *do not* support normal A2DP Bluetooth, your device *must* support LE-Audio, which, outside of phones built in the past 2-3 years, is a very small list of devices."

"The ASUS I thought was gonna be handy with the threaded 1/4-20 on the back to mount with tripods and stuff, but it doesn't work since the thread mount is so shallow that the monitor just spins on most mounts/not deep enough to "lock in" unless you have the ability to shorten the thread length (like on a cold shoe mount or something)."

"The first one that I got was a dud, wouldn't work over usb-c with the cable provided"
elciocamargo 1.0I use the Asus Zenscreen MB16AC. It's an amazing monitor and I can carry it everywhere. I bought it on 2023, so maybe they have a better model now.
I checked here, and it weighs 960g (screen 700g + 260g the screen protector/base). which one do you use now?
FeelingDesign9529 1.0I've been using an ASUS MB16AC for like 2 years now and it's pretty solid. USB-C power and display through one cable is clutch when you're moving around a lot The stand is kinda flimsy but for the price it does what I need
Kolt56 1.0Asus: MB16AC Crushed it, broken bezel, smashed in aluminum housing on two corners, head and shoulders shampoo ruptured all over it. Dropped it. It’s not indestructible by any means, but it’s designed to travel in a carryon Still works great.
kevorgod 0.1I use it all days every days for code!
I have a 15inch m4 macbook air and i use my old asus zenscreen 15inch. It's now my secondary monitor even at home and i keep my macbook docked. At coffees i have the screen over my laptop screen to take less space on a overly expansive stand lol ( FLEXSTA ). At work i have them side by side with my laptop on a roost stand. At home i have it rotated 90degree next to my studio display
ajmpits 0.1I purchased one of the Asus Zenscreen 15” a year or so ago. Brilliant and came with a pouch and USB-C cable.
illumin8dmind 0.1Asus ZenScreen 13 or 15, 13 is super light, 1 cable (powered by USBC) Quality isn’t great - not for gaming but prioritize which content you want on your laptop and which can be on the secondary.
+1 love my Zenscreen
SuperMegaGigaUber 0.1they're a dime a dozen, but really I think any of those chinese 15.6" monitors work fine and dandy - I ended up getting two, a ARZOPA portable monitor and then an ASUS ZenScreen 15.6" I prefer the ARZOPA over the Asus. ARZOPA (or any of those crazy sounding companies) have usb-c and hdmi input, which is a plus. Other things I bought that I found kinda useful: \- Portable monitor stand: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2YCT3V7?ref=fed\_asin\_title](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2YCT3V7?ref=fed_asin_title) \- Super portable laptop stand: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2WMTWTD?ref=fed\_asin\_title](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2WMTWTD?ref=fed_asin_title) The ASUS I thought was gonna be handy with the threaded 1/4-20 on the back to mount with tripods and stuff, but it doesn't work since the thread mount is so shallow that the monitor just spins on most mounts/not deep enough to "lock in" unless you have the ability to shorten the thread length (like on a cold shoe mount or something).
statsguru456 0.1I bought a cheap ASUS zenscreen 1080p for about $150, and it's worked great. Image quality isn't beautiful or anything but it's fine for coding. If you're in video or photo I wouldn't recommend. I also use my ipad pro sometimes, but probably will leave the ipad pro home on the next trip -- the ipad with a cover and keyboard are a lot of weight. I think the asus zenscreen is quite a bit lighter, and it's a much bigger screen than the ipad.
Atlas-Pilot_idk 0.1I got a zenscreen from asus. They have many sizes, plug and play 1 usb-C to usb-c cable.
danberadi 0.1Asus ZenScreen. I'm selling mine if you happen to be in New York (I went up to an 18"), although it's LED and 1080. No reason why you'd need 4k resolution on a 16".
