FAQs
Does this monitor require a separate power adapter?
No, the ASUS MB16AC typically draws power directly through the USB-C or USB-A connection from your laptop, making it a single-cable solution.
Can I use this monitor with my smartphone?
Compatibility with smartphones depends on the phone's USB-C port supporting DisplayPort Alternate Mode (DP Alt Mode) for video output. Not all smartphones support this feature.
What is the difference between USB-C and USB-A connection for this monitor?
The USB-C connection offers a hybrid solution for both power and video transmission with a single cable. The USB-A connection typically requires a separate USB-C to USB-A adapter and may draw power from the USB-A port, also providing video.
How do I set up the monitor in portrait mode?
The included smart case can be folded to support the monitor in either landscape or portrait orientation. You may also need to adjust the display orientation settings in your operating system.
Is the screen glossy or matte?
The ASUS MB16AC features a gloss display surface.
What is the warranty period for this monitor?
Please refer to the ASUS official website or your retailer for the specific warranty details applicable to your region.
Can I connect a USB drive to the monitor?
No, the ASUS MB16AC does not feature a built-in USB hub, so you cannot connect USB drives or other peripherals directly to the monitor.
Troubleshooting
No image displayed / Monitor not detected
Ensure the USB-C or USB-A cable is securely connected to both the monitor and the laptop. Try a different USB port on your laptop. If using USB-A, verify it's a USB 3.0 or higher port. Restart both the monitor and the laptop.
Flickering screen
Check the cable connection for damage or looseness. Ensure your laptop's graphics drivers are up to date. Reduce the display resolution or refresh rate if necessary.
Incorrect colors or brightness
Adjust the brightness and color settings via the monitor's on-screen display (OSD) menu. Ensure the display profile is correctly set in your operating system.
Monitor powers off unexpectedly
Verify the power connection if using USB-C for power. Ensure the USB-A cable is connected to a power-capable port. Check the monitor's auto-power-off settings in the OSD menu.
