Amazing 2nd monitor, I've travelled so much with it to use it as a 2nd monitor....as well as used it as a 3rd monitor in my home set up. It's powered from the computer, so no other power source needed. It's mostly screen with a half inch perimeter...The only thing I would improve is to give it a better mounting capability if it is to be used as a permanent fixture. But for travel, it's perfect. The travel sleeve case turns into its stand and it works just fantastically. When Looking at the screen, the USB attachment port is on the left. and it attaches USB to your computer, so you'll need to have usb ports available.

I've gotten completely dependent on having a 35" monitor and my 13" laptop monitor as real estate when working. I often have three windows viewing between them. I'm much less efficient when I'm on the road and just using that 13" monitor. So I'm really excited to bring this monitor on my next trip.I'm giving 5 stars now with fully using, but unless something goes wrong with quality, I can already tell this is what I was looking for. It's compact and light enough for me to throw in luggage and even though it's long it fits in my work pack. The main negative reviews seem to be compatibility issues. But I plugged the monitor into my Lenovo X1 ThinPad USB-C port, turned on the power and my computer immediately read the monitor and set it up to extend my desktop. Picture quality seems fine, but I'm using this for documents so I'm not too concerned.Only little things I'd fix? The cover it comes with is cool, but it's like a complicated origami to set it up as a stand. There must be an easier way. Once you get it, you get it, but it took a bit of time. Also, there is a sticker on the back that left a really gummy residue. It took me a while to get that off. Maybe it was meant to be kept on there for some reason? But I hate stickers on my stuff.

Tweak with the settings and you can get the colors very similar to the Macbook pro screen.Contrast: 91, R: 82, G: 89, B: 100This screen is also 120hz which is basically indistinguishable from the Macbook's ProMotion.Important to note: will not support full 500 nits brightness without plugging it into the wall. However, without wall power it still works perfectly at 400 nits. There are no power shortage or flickering issues. I believe most portable external monitors reliably support 500 nits only if they are plugged into the wall. I needed the extra 100 nits so it's worth plugging it in for me, and definitely worth upgrading from my previous 400 external monitors.You may need the BetterDisplay program to set the resolution to 1920x1200, which is the closest-to-mac resolution.The design is great. The stand is compact and in the back, while most other portable external monitors have more of a mat design that unfolds then remains several inches in front of the monitor, occupying desk space, thus creating a somewhat awkward arrangement when they are slightly angled towards your laptop (your laptop basically has to rest on top of it).With this monitor, you reclaim that desk space and your workspace ultimately looks significantly less cluttered. This is a huge benefit due to its design, and should not be understated. It feels like thought was put into this monitor.When you sleep your mac, the monitors sleep as well even while plugged in. You do not have to unplug the monitors or turn them on/off each time.Finally, the monitor comes with a small carrying sleeve, where you can put it in when you are traveling.Very impressed with the quality of ASUS and highly recommend this.

Great monitor overall:-IPS, matte display-16.7M colors (many have only 260k)-144hz (definitely smoother)-Good stand and good overall build quality for the price-1/4" threaded mount - perfect for mounting with a tablet/camera mount---The weird part:For some reason, the brightness would only go to 100% with ONLY ONE cable I found around my house.The cable I had was just a normal USB-A - USB-C cable (don't remember where I got it from).Tried the supplied USB-C cable: plugged into the wall outlet and my PC's USB-C ports as well but no success (brightness goes to 60% at most).Tried other cables I had laying around - 6 different cables - with/without adapters; in the wall outlet; in the USB-C port (including the one with DP mode); USB 3.2 ports - nothing worked.I'm still baffled: only one particular cable allowed me to turn the brightness up to 100% and it works from the wall outlet and even from a power bank. No other cable works.*Yes, I had the driver installed from Asus's website. All of my other drivers were up to date as well.Interesting.

Pretty impressed with this out of the box. Good size, good brightness, good picture, light weight. The mounting thread is money as you can prop it on a mini-tripod.NOTE ON GETTING FULL BRIGHTNESS: Quirk i noticed is you won't get the full 500 nits if you're connecting to laptop via USB-C, even with the display simultaneously plugged into a wall charger. At least with my Macbook, the only way to get full brightness was connecting via HDMI (For my Macbook M1 that meant using USB-C-to-HDMI cable). Apparently when it's plugged into USB-C it prioritizes that as the power source instead of the wall charger, which isn't enough juice to go full brightness, but with HDMI connection it will use the charger as power source and go into full power mode.
