Product Information
Full details
The ASUS ZenScreen MB166C is a 15.6-inch Full HD portable monitor designed for mobile professionals, students, and remote workers who need extra screen real estate on the go. Its primary benefit is the single-cable USB Type-C connectivity that handles both power and video transmission, creating a clutter-free workspace anywhere. A key caveat to keep in mind is that the device lacks built-in speakers and requires a host device that supports DisplayPort Alt mode via USB-C to function correctly.

FAQs
Does the ZenScreen MB166C have a battery?
No, the monitor is powered directly via the USB-C connection to your laptop.
Can I use this with an HDMI connection?
No, this model relies exclusively on USB Type-C with DisplayPort Alt mode.
Is the tripod included in the box?
No, the monitor features a 1/4"-threaded hole to attach to third-party standard tripods, but the tripod itself is sold separately.
How do I adjust the blue light settings?
You can access the filter settings through the onscreen display (OSD) menu using the hotkey on the monitor.
Can this be used for gaming?
It is designed primarily for productivity. While it functions as a display, the 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time are standard for office work rather than high-performance gaming.
Troubleshooting
Monitor does not turn on when plugged into the laptop.
Verify that your laptop's USB-C port supports 'DisplayPort Alt Mode.' Not all USB-C ports carry video signals.
Screen flickering or dim display.
Check that the USB cable is fully inserted and the power output of your laptop's port is sufficient; try a different USB-C port on your host device.
Auto-rotation is not working.
Ensure the ASUS DisplayWidget software is installed and running on your host machine.
