SKU: ASUS-MB169B+ Category: Monitors

The ASUS MB169B+ Portable Monitor is the world’s thinnest and lightest 15.6″ Full HD IPS screen USB powered monitor with a single USB 3.0 connection for power and data transfer. The MB169B+ comes with EzLink technology and an auto rotating display, as well as the ASUS Smart Case, which has a two-way adjustable stand and a protective sleeve for a more user-friendly experience. IPS stands for “in-plane switching” and refers to a kind of panel technology that allows for a broad field of vision. Because liquid crystal polymer flows horizontally, it enables for optimal viewing from a broad range of angles and quick reaction times.

 

With only one cable, adding a second monitor has never been easier: To offer up to a 1366 x 768 HD resolution*, the 15.6-inch ASUS MB169B+ portable USB-powered monitor requires just one USB connection for both video feed and power. Experience quick, smooth visuals from your connected device thanks to USB 3.0’s increased bandwidth, which allows you to set up a multi-display arrangement on the fly. Furthermore, the MB168B is backwards compatible with a USB 2.0 connection on a notebook or desktop PC.

The ASUS MB169B+ is the world’s slimmest and lightest companion display, with an 8mm (0.3-inch) profile and a weight of under 800g (1.76 pounds), making it perfect for a simple on-the-go dual-monitor setup for mobile presentations.

Increased Productivity with ASUS EzLink Technology: The ASUS EzLink technology in the MB169B+ offloads graphics processing from the PC to specialized hardware in the monitor, resulting in increased productivity. As a consequence, independent of its own graphics capacity, a PC may drive up to five MB168B displays at the same time if it has enough USB connections. When an ASUS MB169B+ monitor is attached and unplugged, EzLink also recovers application window locations and rotates the display between landscape and portrait orientations as needed.

Adapting to Your Needs: ASUS Smart Case, a two-way adjustable stand and protective sleeve, is included with the auto-rotating display.

My Honest ASUS MB169B+ Monitor Review

I purchased two of them, the ASUS MB169B+ and the ASUS MB168B. Both are small, light, and compact, and they come with the essential USB cord as well as a strong cover/case. I’m not a computer whiz, so I just utilize the additional displays in online meetings to display papers. However, even for me, the 169b’s screen quality (1920 x 1080) is sharp and considerably superior than the ASUS 168b monitor’s resolution (1366 x 768). Although the 168b is somewhat less expensive, I believe the 169B is well worth the additional money. I really exchanged the 168b for a 169b. The carry case is the same for both variants. The one drawback I discovered is that the case case is meant to act as a stand, but it isn’t very sturdy, so I use a recipe book stand instead. The 169b, in my opinion, is great for students, professors, or anybody who just wishes to see regular text documents on a second screen.
