One-Cable Simplicity

The ZenScreen MB166CR uses a single USB Type-C connection to deliver both power and video signals from your host device. This streamlined approach eliminates cable clutter and creates a neater workspace, whether you’re at a coffee shop, in a hotel room, or working from a client’s office. The USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode ensures compatibility with modern laptops, tablets, and smartphones that support this standard.

Versatile Viewing Experience

Equipped with IPS panel technology, this monitor offers wide 178° viewing angles both horizontally and vertically, ensuring consistent colour and clarity from almost any position. The 800:1 contrast ratio and 250 cd/m² brightness deliver clear, vibrant images suitable for document review, spreadsheet work, and general productivity tasks. The anti-glare screen coating helps reduce reflections in various lighting conditions.

360° Adjustable Stand Design

The unique 360° detachable kickstand allows you to position the screen in either portrait or landscape orientation with ease. You can screw it directly onto a rear tripod socket for stable mounting or use it on a tabletop mount. This versatility means you can adapt your setup to different tasks and environments without compromise.

Eye Comfort Features

ASUS has incorporated several eye-care technologies into the ZenScreen MB166CR. The Low Blue Light technology helps reduce potentially harmful blue light emissions, while the Flicker-Free technology eliminates screen flickering that can cause eye strain during extended use.
