## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: Decent second screen. - Good screen works really well as a portable second screen. The stand is perhaps not as easy to set up and use but does do the job for what is a portable screen. The stand doubles as a cover and is well padded so should be sufficient to protect the screen when travelling with it. Set up was really easy. The screen has a matt finish so not so much glare. No complaints with clarity and colours. For the price it provides me with a good quality screen, which has a good size screen and is lightweight, does not take up too much space and fairly portable. Does not need lots of other accessories except for a usb cable as powered from laptop. There are obviously higher resolution screens out there but if you are looking for a portable second screen it does the job and for the price is value for money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the mb16acv version come with a carry case or anything to protect the front of the screen?**
A: The monitor comes with a magnetic fold over cover but it's not very secure especially if your carrying it around, so I keep mine in a laptop carry case. Mine is mainly used as monitor for my s21 phone in dex mode with keyboard and mouse.  Occasionally use it for laptop extended monitor.

**Q: Can this be powered via usb to plug and hdmi to screen at the same time?**
A: Please find video for your disposal. Display do not have HDMI-connectivity. Only USB-A / UCB-C / Thunderrbolt or UCB-C altmode or Display link connectivity from your laptop. No external power needed.

**Q: Is this compatible with a macbook pro 2019? i ordered the mb169c and it wasn't so i wanted to double check this one before i order it.**
A: Same here - I'm connected via USB-C from a MacBookPro 2018 to my ZenScreen and it works really well. I also use the screen a lot with a HP laptop via its USB-C connector and it works well too. Been using my ZenScreen for months now without any problems.

**Q: Will it work with a mobile or tablet android?**
A: It worked with my s20 ultra

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product let down by a design flaw in its stand
*by O***R on 27 May 2024*

Picture quality on this is great for a 1080p monitor, no complaints really about the product itself - I'm using it with macOS so just be aware that the auto-rotate functionality does not work (you have to configure this yourself in the macOS display settings). However, the stand leaves a bit to be desired. The solution to keep the monitor upright is to fold the carry case like a tablet folio, with the plastic housing of the monitor being held in place with a slightly raised piece of plastic on the case. The problem is that it's so shallow that the monitor slips over it with any slight movement on the table, causing it to fall and potentially break. My solution was to take a couple of matches, remove the strike heads and stuff them into the pocket underneath the raised case plastic. This creates a far superior catch to hold the monitor in place. But this is such a terrible design flaw that it lets the product down as a whole, sadly.
