ASUS Intros ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH Portable Monitor

[btarunr]

ASUS today introduced the ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH, a 15.6-inch portable monitor, which is a generational update to the ZenScreen MB14AC it launched back in 2020. Unlike its LED-backlit IPS-based predecessor, the MQ16AH uses an OLED panel, with Delta E <2, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, 10-bit (1.07 billion colors), HDR-10, 100,000:1 contrast-ratio, and 360 cd/m² brightness, which can peak up to 400 cd/m². The display offers Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) native resolution, with 60 Hz refresh-rate, and 1 ms (GTG) response time. Display inputs include mini-HDMI (with a mini-to-standard HDMI cable), and two USB-C cables. If you use the HDMI, one of these has to be plugged in to a power source (included power brick); or if you use USB-C (with DP passthrough), that meets PD 20 W, a single cable can be used for both power and input. Measuring 358.7 mm x 226.15 mm x 8.95 mm (WxHxD), it weighs 650 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.

I've been eyeing a portable monitor, but man, the lack of PD and DP Alt Mode on retail mobos......

My 5700G Lone L5 came with me on my recent trip and everything was breezy, except still being reliant on hotel TVs and friends' TVs. The specs on the MQ16AH look great, crappy color accuracy on aforementioned TVs prevents me from working on the photos I took during the day. Proximity sensor also solves my only concern with OLED.

Makes me wonder if AMD's reference USB-C cards and RTX20 FE's Virtualink can run this monitor. Virtualink wasn't PD, but could allegedly supply 27W.

Interesting. I like the specs.
Are there any motherboards with USB-C that meets the requirements? Or do we need to wait for USB4?

HDR10 with that levels of brightness? You sure?

and 360 cd/m² brightness

So 360 nits well that isn't enough for the HDR10 standard of min 1000 nits so any actual HDR10 content is going to look like shite

HDR10 doesn't have any such requirements, it's HDR1000 which does.

M3401 is an ASUS laptop with 6 core ryzen, 3050 and 2880p OLED screen (14") for 1k Euro (MSRP, they also happen to only sell those from asus.com). The screen is 16:10.

Just for reference.

They have similarly priced 15" full HD version too. (16:9)

My bad you're right ofcourse but it's still below the 400 nits so it's still not going to look right. what I was looking at was for HDR10+ which requires 1000~4000 nits

HDR10​

• Mastered anywhere from 400 to 4,000 cd/m²
• Technical limit: 10,000 cd/m²
