Handy to have.
I bought this monitor for graduate school. It was easy to carry around, was able to fit it into laptop sleeve (with laptop in it). Traveled with it. Took great care of it. However, it won't turn on - totally out of the blue. I've had some issues with it coming on it the past, thinking it was maybe that the battery wasn't fully charged or something. Super annoying because I got use to having dual monitors.Update: I was within the warranty period and sent it back to ASUS and they found nothing wrong with it. It powers on fine now. Not sure what happened.

A bit pricey, but good quality and productivity-boosting potential
I purchased this device with the intent to help me when I am working on the move, and as a third monitor whenever I am at my usual working setup.The packing is very protective. My monitor came underneath two layers of recyclable packing, which was inside the ASUS fancy box, which was inside another box, and finally inside an Amazon box.The monitor feels very light, as it should be for a portable accessory. I have found the overall build quality of the monitor to be satisfactory. I would however not put it in a bag with a lot of weight that could fall on the screen. The folding support that comes with it does not give a lot of protection and does not cover the sides.The pen that comes with it is just a pen with a rubber touch-compatible top, not an active pen. I also confirm that the monitor does not recognize an active pen.The navigation button is a bit small and hard to play with.It was really easy to set it up for first use: I just connected its USB-C port to the one of my computer, and I had it working as a third monitor, ready to go. I installed the recommended ASUS DisplayWidget application and the display driver, and the colour- and scenario-tuning options that are available within the navigation button became more easily accessible.I have found the screen to be very satisfactory. I really enjoyed the contrast, and the brightness level looks alright to me. The colours are not that crazy, but to me are more than passable. Because most of my work relies on research, programming and text-editing, extreme colour accuracy is not essential to me.I could not get the touch function to work well with three monitors, but I dedicated less than five minutes to set it up. I can see it works, but it is selecting things on my second monitor instead of on my portable one.The speakers sound like if I had gone to Dollarama and purchased 4$ speakers. They are mediocre. I can, however, understand that they may be necessary to those that want to plug this screen into their phones and watch videos.In summary, I think that this is a good portable monitor and that it will certainly help with my productivity.If I could ask ASUS to change something, it would be for them to honour the price tag on this device and provide 1440p or 4K screens and a better case.Rant on Amazon Warehouse Deals:Because of both price and mitigated environmental impact, I decided to purchase a Used option through Amazon Warehouse Deals.Amazon mentioned that the item would come in original packing and that there would be small cosmetic imperfections on the sides of the item.I was very impressed to open it and notice that all items looked unopened and unused. After unpacking, I noticed that the top left corner of the screen had a significant dent to it.Given that the packing is so protective, it is hard to imagine other situations different than the one that a previous buyer might have dropped the screen when unpacking it. The monitor seems to be working fine, but ASUS Warranty mentions that their 3-year warranty may be voided if the item has been damaged by the user or by a third party. Because of this, I will, unfortunately, have to return this screen.It would be very important if Amazon considered becoming more specific in the description of Used and Opened Box options within their Warehouse Deals products.I believe that replacing "cosmetic imperfections" with more detailed information such as "significant deformation" or "scratch" could help with unnecessary shipping and returns.

Un excelente monitor portátil.
No es un monitor barato, ya que por el precio podía haber comprado un monitor de más de 36 pulgadas, sin embargo su funcionalidad es el ser portátil y touch screen.Se conecta vía USB C a mi laptop, incluso se carga por el mismo cable que transmite el video, al decir se carga es por que el monitor tienen batería lo cual hace que puedas conectar un teléfono vía USB C.Para windows tiene sus software con el que puedes realizar varias configuraciones en cuanto a sus colores e incluso para el filtro azul, es fácil de transportar con su funda magnética la cual lo hace posible ponerlo en forma vertical u horizontal.Su grueso es como 1 cm y su cuerpo es de aluminio.La resolución y colores son muy aceptables, nada que envidiar al monitor de mi OMEN.

Finally the Touch version. Works with Samsung DeX and slight improvement over the non-touch version.
When I bought the non-touch screen version last year, I wished that it had touch. Asus finally made one so I and bought it.The original MB16AP I bought suited my uses quite well, and my review of that unit still stands and basically everything I wrote for that one can be said for this one except for a few things I'll address.This one has touch, has a bit more brightness (250cd/m vs 220cd/m), has a non-glare vs glare screen and an extra micro hdmi port for different connection setups. Everything else is the same as the MB16AP.Btw, Amazon really needs to make separate filters for reviews when it comes to these devices. having them all grouped together doesn't help anyone. Anyway,...I bought the original (non-touch) one for travel so I can connect it to my laptop and have extra screen space. That one will go to my spouse, while this one will also be used for travel. The previous one had a button to control the menu while the new one has a 5 way OSD navigation button. Either one can be frustrating to use after a while so its best to download the Asus control widget.This monitor comes with the necessary USB Type C cables, and a Type C to A adapter. It includes a real ink pen to use as a stand in the event you forget the stand cover, but I doubt if one is traveling with this, that they will carry it around with out the cover. As for the pen, I wish Asus would have included a digital pen, be it wacom or otherwise, but doing so would probably increase the price to include a digitizer screen. Maybe in the next version.The monitor being touch, works well with Windows. And depending on your laptop or PC's power, you can attach the monitor to a multi monitor setup. While that may be overkill, I tested it with my existing 3 monitor laptop setup at home and it worked really well without any hiccups. (see images and diagram)But the main purpose is for travel. I plan on using my Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus to stream over Samsung Dex onto either the laptop or the monitor. You might ask why use Samsung DeX when I'm already bringing a laptop? Well some hotels don't have a good wi-fi so using my phone signal through DeX overcomes this obstacle. Connecting the phone to the monitor can be done a few ways. One is with a hub/adapter or directly to the phone as shown in the diagrams I uploaded. If I use a Type-C adapter hub (setups 1 and 2) Dex works, but the touch features of the Asus Touch monitor do not. (This is probably more due to Windows than Asus or the adapter used). With the previous MB16AP monitor, being that it is not touch, it doesn't matter. But if I wanted to use the touch feature on this monitor with Samsung DeX, the phone has to be connected directly to the laptop and then route the Asus cable from the laptop to the monitor (as in setup # 3). Then touch works great.Asus supplies a leaflet manual, but I found it useless. It better to see the youtube videos or at their website directly (as well as get the latest updates).Pros:Much of the pros on my previous non-touch monitor applies. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1Q5DWKN6EIY1B)Has touch.Has an additional connection port.Battery lasts about the same as the previous non-touch model.has an additional USB cable and port for specific connections.A few side notes:While Asus supplies the necessary cables, I ended up getting better (10Gbps Gen 2) cables.Cable Matter USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 cables (B01L0F6AJI)AmazonBasics USB-C to USB-A 3.1 Gen 2 cables (B01GGKYR2O)Dockcase USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 small length (B01GGKYR2O)Better adapter/hub to use with DeX, Meco 7 in 1 Type C adapter (B07NKB697F)Cons:Leaflet manual is way to simple. Better to go on the web to get more info via their website or videos.No dedicated power port. Asus should still include a dedicated power port to charge the monitor while in use instead of using your laptop or phones battery. Come on Asus, make it so.The one 5 way control button gets annoying, better to download the widget.Pen is just a ink pen not a digitized pen and by extension, not a digitizer screen. (but my laptop is, so not much of a con)Overall, another great device from Asus and improves upon the previous model by offering extra connection and touch screen.
