ASUS ZenScreen Touch MB16AMT

The ASUS ZenScreen Touch MB16AMT is a passable portable monitor. It's designed for on-the-go use as a secondary screen, so it doesn't perform like standard monitors. It's okay for office use thanks to its good reflection handling and excellent text clarity, but the screen appears darker at really wide angles. It's not suggested for content creators because it displays a narrow color gamut, causing the colors to appear inaccurate. Also, it doesn't have any gaming features, and its slow response time makes motion look blurry.
