Portable Full HD workspace

15.6-inch Full HD IPS

The MB16ACV provides a 1920 x 1080 Full HD workspace on a 15.6-inch IPS panel, making it useful as an additional display for documents, spreadsheets, presentations and everyday mobile productivity.

178-degree viewing angles

IPS technology provides wide 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles to help maintain consistent image appearance when the portable display is viewed from different positions.

Anti-glare display surface

The anti-glare panel helps reduce distracting reflections when the monitor is used in offices, home workspaces, meeting rooms and other indoor environments.

250cd/m² brightness

ASUS specifies typical brightness of 250cd/m² together with an 800:1 typical contrast ratio and a 5ms GTG response time.

One USB-C connection for power and video

USB-C with DisplayPort Alt Mode

The USB-C connection supports DisplayPort Alt Mode and USB 3.2, allowing a compatible USB-C device to provide the display signal and power through a single cable.

Hybrid-signal design

ASUS designed the MB16ACV to support both compatible USB Type-C and USB Type-A host systems, providing additional flexibility when moving between different computers.

USB Type-A compatibility

Driver-supported USB-A connection

A USB-C to USB-A cable is included. When using a USB Type-A connection, the ASUS MB Series USB Monitor Driver is required because USB Type-A does not provide native DisplayPort Alt Mode video. When using a compatible USB-C DisplayPort Alt Mode connection, ASUS states that the additional USB monitor driver is not required.

Portrait and landscape flexibility

Integrated fold-out kickstand

The built-in kickstand supports the monitor on a flat surface and provides tilt adjustment from approximately +15° to +35° for comfortable portable viewing.

Landscape or portrait use

The kickstand design allows the MB16ACV to be positioned for either landscape or portrait-oriented workflows depending on your available space and application.

Auto Rotation

ASUS DisplayWidget software can automatically detect monitor orientation and switch supported Windows systems between landscape and portrait modes.

1/4-inch tripod socket

A standard 1/4-inch threaded socket allows the MB16ACV to be attached to a compatible tripod or table-mount solution for alternative positioning.

Lightweight for mobile productivity

Approximately 0.9kg

ASUS specifies a net weight of approximately 0.9kg, making the MB16ACV practical to carry alongside a compatible notebook between work locations.

Approximately 10mm deep

The monitor measures approximately 35.8 x 22.5 x 1.0cm, giving it a slim profile suited to portable and hybrid-work setups.

Embedded antibacterial treatment

Ionic silver treatment

ASUS applies a proprietary antibacterial ionic silver treatment to key external areas including the bezel and rear of the monitor.

Tested antibacterial performance

ASUS states that the treatment inhibits up to 99.9% of bacterial growth and adhesion, with testing performed to JIS Z 2801 and ISO 22196 standards.

ASUS Eye Care technology

Low Blue Light

ASUS Low Blue Light technology provides adjustable filtering designed to reduce blue-light exposure during extended viewing sessions.

Flicker-Free technology

TÜV-certified Flicker-Free technology is designed to reduce screen flicker and support a more comfortable viewing experience during prolonged use.

Three-year ASUS Australia monitor warranty

What to know before buying

Check your USB connection

For native USB-C video, the connected device must support DisplayPort Alt Mode over USB-C. USB Type-A operation requires the ASUS MB Series USB Monitor Driver and the supplied compatible cable. ASUS also notes that protected media or applications may restrict content playback when the monitor is operating through USB 3.0 mode. Auto Rotation through ASUS DisplayWidget software is supported on Windows.

Why choose the ASUS ZenScreen MB16ACV?

The MB16ACV combines a lightweight 15.6-inch Full HD IPS screen with single-cable USB-C operation, driver-supported USB Type-A compatibility, a built-in kickstand and tripod socket. Auto Rotation, ASUS Eye Care features, antibacterial treatment and an included sleeve make it a practical portable second screen for work, study and travel.
