Fresh designs and innovative tech bring ZenScreen displays to even wider audiences

When it comes to portable displays, there’s no name that people trust more than ZenScreen. These sleek, lightweight monitors are brimming with potential. Many folks slip one into their laptop bag so that they can boost their multitasking productivity no matter where they go. Others connect one to a gaming device like the ROG Ally X or Nintendo Switch for an enviable on-the-go gaming rig. ZenScreen monitors serve up monitoring capabilities on creative sets, interface with customers in digital kiosks, and empower traveling professionals to deliver attention-grabbing in-person presentations.

The ZenScreen family started with portable displays, and we continue to offer a wide range of options for folks who need a slim display that they can take anywhere. But the 2024 ZenScreen lineup does so much more. The needs of professionals, students, PC enthusiasts, and everyday users are evolving, and the ZenScreen lineup is evolving alongside them.

Enrich any space with a versatile display: the ZenScreen Smart MS27UC

Perhaps the boldest new evolution in the ZenScreen series comes in the form of the ZenScreen Smart MS27UC. This unique display kicks off a new category of ZenScreen: the smart monitor.

Traditional monitors do one job, and they do it quite well, but many people are on the lookout for a monitor that does more. With built-in Google TV, extensive wired and wireless connectivity options, voice control with an included remote, and an elegant, space-saving design, the ZenScreen Smart MS27UC brings your entire digital world together. With this display, it’s just as easy to put content from your smartphone up on a big screen as it is to simultaneously view and control multiple devices.

Its richly detailed 27-inch 4K display and embedded front-output speakers will bring your entertainment to life, and its robust connectivity will boost your productivity. Android TV™ OS gives you access to an extensive library of over 10,000 apps, allowing for personalized entertainment experiences, endless gaming with Google Play Games, and even support for everyday computing tasks if you plug in a mouse and keyboard.

With the astonishing versatility of the ZenScreen Smart MS27UC, you might find yourself using it in unexpected ways. It can bring entertainment to spaces where a full PC won’t fit, like a kitchen wall, your workshop, or a smaller studio apartment. It can kickstart your livestreaming ambitions with the ASUS-exclusive Multi-Platform Streamer Plus app. It’ll let you track text messages while you get work done with your laptop, all without moving your eyes from the same display. It can help declutter a workspace or an entertainment center to help you focus or relax.

The ZenScreen Smart MS27UC isn’t portable in the same manner as many of our ZenScreen monitors, but it does share many of the design cues that make this series perennial favorites for people on the move. Its sleek design, ultra-thin display bezels, and small-footprint stand ensure that this monitor won’t demand much space. Silver tones and a special acoustic fabric offer contrasting textures for a pleasing appearance. And a cable management channel in the stand helps keep wires out of sight.

All that’s just the beginning of how the ZenScreen Smart MS27UC can reshape your everyday entertainment, work, and communications. Click here to explore ten reasons why you might pick a smart monitor over a regular monitor.

Indulge in foldable luxury: the ZenScreen Fold OLED MQ17QH

When many people pick a portable monitor, one important factor is size. They need something that’ll fit in their laptop bag, or they won’t get enough use out of their purchase. On the other hand, they also want something that’s as big as they can comfortably get away with.

You could compromise and pick up a conveniently sized 14-inch or 15.6-inch display, but compromise is no fun. For the best of both worlds, we crafted the ZenScreen Fold OLED MQ17QH. The most premium display in the ZenScreen family, this portable monitor uses a 17.3-inch folding OLED display to give you more on-the-go screen space than you thought possible. Yet when it’s folded up, it has a profile similar to that of a 12.5-inch portable display — making it an easy addition to any laptop bag.

An intricate waterdrop-style hinge keeps the ZenScreen Fold OLED MQ17QH slim and trim when it’s folded up. Designed with hundreds of parts, this detailed mechanism brings the two sides of the screen closer together, all but eliminating the gap that can make foldable devices chunkier than you’d like.

The folding design also protects the display as you’re traveling. When the ZenScreen Fold OLED MQ17QH is fully closed, its own chassis protects the screen from all angles without the need for a separate case or protector. We include a fabric monitor sleeve in the box to further protect it from everyday wear and tear.

When you open the ZenScreen Fold OLED MQ17QH to take advantage of its large 17.3-inch, you’ll enjoy a luxurious display experience. In landscape orientation it offers an extra-tall 2560×1920 resolution that shows you more of your primary workspace without scrolling. The OLED panel covers 100% of the cinema-grade DCI-P3 color gamut for bold, saturated colors, and it offers dazzling contrast for immersive entertainment and easy readability in bright environments.

Equip your workspace with high-end versatility: the ZenScreen MB229CF

Portability means different things for different folks. For some, a portable device needs to be ready for the daily wear and tear of a daily commute to school or the office. For others, a portable device has to fit in the satchel they take on airplanes.

In modern offices, shared workspaces, and home offices, portability means something else. In these contexts, we don’t need our tech to travel very far: we need it to easily and quickly adapt to a wide variety of scenarios. To give you a display that’s easy to pick up and take with you as you move from your desk to a meeting space, from the break room to an open cubicle, from your home office to a cozy table in your sunroom, we designed the ZenScreen MB229CF.

This display offers a large, multitasking-ready 22-inch screen. Its frameless design keeps its profile lean, and it’s easy to move since it’s only 4.9mm thick and weighs a mere 4.85 pounds. It offers an astounding set of stand options so that you can make the most out of any situation. You’ll find a bundled partition hook kit that makes it easy to hang from a cubicle wall, as well as an ergonomic C-clamp arm that mounts firmly to a table. The quick-release mechanism lets you easily detach or mount the monitor from this stand. Additionally, the integrated carrying handle doubles as a kickstand so that you can prop it up anywhere.

Like other ZenScreen portable monitors, you can drive the display and provide it the power that it needs through a single USB Type-C cable, provided that the device you’re connecting it to supports DP Alt Mode. But if there’s an outlet handy, the ZenScreen MB229CF can provide 60-watt power delivery to a connected device, and you’ll enjoy a wider range of brightness for the screen.

Double your productivity, double your fun: the ZenScreen Duo OLED MQ149CD

For some folks, one portable monitor isn’t enough. They need two. We’re not here to argue with your need for additional screen space: we’re here to make it as convenient as possible. Rather than have you bundle up two separate monitors and their cables in your laptop bag, we offer the ZenScreen Duo OLED MQ149CD. This folding device uses two OLED screens to give you one versatile workspace.

The ZenScreen Duo OLED MQ149CD integrates two high-quality 14-inch OLED panels. Each has a resolution of 1920×1200 with an extra-tall 16:10 aspect ratio so that you can see more at a glance. Together, they offer a 21-inch workspace. OLED display tech provides inky blacks and bright lights, making it comfortable to use this portable display even in environments with plenty of natural light.

Combining two screens into one portable display affords some unique opportunities. The ZenScreen Duo OLED MQ149CD’s combination of a durable 360° hinge and a fold-out kickstand create a wide range of usage possibilities. You can prop it up horizontally and view separate documents or apps on each screen. The MQ149CD’s kickstand lets you orient the displays vertically, with each display angled differently for ideal viewing comfort. You can even set up the display in tent mode, with a display facing each direction. With the content of each display mirrored, that would give you a comfortable way to conduct a one-on-one presentation.

It’s even possible to connect the MQ149CD to two different devices simultaneously. With each screen devoted to a different device, you might keep tabs on your laptop and your smartphone simultaneously, and you’ll have all-new possibilities for collaboration.

Do more with a versatile, removable kickstand: The ZenScreen MB166CR

As you’re comparing different models of portable monitors, it’s tempting to focus much of your attention on the display specs. After all, once your monitor is set up it’s the resolution, brightness, refresh rate, and color performance that you’ll be paying attention to the most.

But until your monitor is fully set up, your attention will be focused on the stand options. That’s why we relentlessly innovate new mechanisms for propping up our portable displays — and that’s a big reason why ZenScreen portable monitors stand out from the crowd of imitators. The ZenScreen MB166CR features one of our most versatile kickstand options yet. The 360° detachable kickstand screws into a standard tripod socket on the back, allowing for easy tilt adjustments in either portrait or landscape mode. A handy cutout in the kickstand allows you to hang it from a wall mount, and it’s easy to remove entirely when you don’t need it.

A convenient kickstand isn’t the ZenScreen MB166CR’s only claim to fame. It offers a spacious 15.6-inch Full HD display equipped with ASUS Eye Care technologies that make it comfortable to use, even for extended periods. It automatically senses orientation switches the monitor between landscape and portrait modes via ASUS DisplayWidget Center software. And with its USB Type-C port, it’s incredibly easy to connect to a wide range of devices.

Meet the OLED partner for your OLED laptop: the ZenScreen OLED MQ16AHE

Recently, OLED panels have taken over the laptop space. These cutting-edge panels offer astonishing color performance that elevates everything you do with your laptop. Put an OLED panel next to a monitor equipped with older display tech, and you’ll notice the difference right away.

Many people want a display that looks just as good as the one built into their laptops, so they seek out portable monitors with an OLED panel, like the ZenScreen OLED MQ16AHE. It provides amazing viewing experiences with its HDR-ready panel. With 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut, it delivers bold, lifelike colors.

You might be surprised by how much you love the ZenScreen OLED MQ16AHE’s ultra-low response time. In games and media with fast-paced action, you’ll enjoy a clear, nearly blur-free image. But even when you’re not kicking back and relaxing, the rapid response time yields important benefits. Text will stay clear and sharp as you’re scrolling through a document or a web page, allowing you to quickly skim and find the information that you need.
