Asus MB168B+ review

USB monitors such as the Asus MB168B+ haven't, up to now, had the best of times. Generally saddled with poor resolutions, and lacking the hardware required to do justice to smooth movies and fast-changing games, they've remained niche products. That's...

The MB168B+ does have some of the limitations of TN panels, but it has virtually none of those associated with USB screens. It keeps the ease of setup, but adds fantastic 1080p support, and hardware that can make a superbly smooth job of HD movies, and...

Hands on: Asus MB168B+ portable monitor

Asus is not the first one out with a portable monitor - Toshiba had one two years ago - but the Taiwanese manufacturer's MB168B+ slim screen is surely one of the smartest and most practical. Very light at just 800 grams and conveniently powered by a...

Hands on: Asus MB168B+ portable monitor January 6th, 2014 | by Alfred Siew Audio-visual 17

If you desire a larger screen on the go, without all the bulk involved, then the MB168B+ is a great companion.

Good Addition

My only thoughts would be to add a mini HDMI port, and external power, if needed, to attach more devices. Also, thought this might be a good troubleshooting tool, but the drivers need to be installed, so it cannot be used as a replacement monitor for...

Very Solid. Love the case. Good HD 720p

Advertised as 1080p, but if you look at the details it's 720p. This is not a bad thing. There is a 1080p version for $50 more

Asus MB168B

Easy to set up

Image quality isn't the crispest. but it is perfectly acceptable. The case-stand takes up too much desk space, but buy a couple of little wooden mobile phone stands from Ikea and the problem is solved.
