BEST monitor for your Surface Pro 3. Love this thing!
It’s been an adventure trying to find a portable monitor to work with my Surface Pro 3. I’ve tried the GeChic 2501H, the AOC e1659Fwux- Pro, and the ASUS MB169B+ and MB169C+. The ASUS MB169B+ wins.Cons:–It should come with a Y cable (the AOC does), but I had to buy one in order to get enough power to the ASUS due to the low power output of the SP3 USB port. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005M0ICG2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00).–The case is supposed to double as a stand, but it’s just weird and not as stable as I’d liek, soI bought a different style stnad which is working great. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014GCTGFM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00).Pros:–The screen is GREAT. Very crisp and clear images and non-glare.–The display colors are not as good as the SP3, but very close, and not really enough to be noticeable, unless you are doing photo editing. For the average school work/job, surfing or gaming this screen will be great. (Pictures included so you can see for yourself.)–Easy to get up and running. Just plug in, download the driver and it worked.–It’s super light weight.–Comes with protective case. I wish it was a hard case, but it’s pretty sturdy as soft cases go and MUCH better than what you got with the AOC (a neoprene soft case that is VERY tight to get on and is likely to rip out after just a few uses), or the GeChic 2501H (nothing at all).–It works with my Surface Pro 3. A BIG DEAL! Who knew the SP3 was such a pain to get a portable monitor for?!–The Tech support was great. (The first MB169B+ I got was DOA, but just to be sure, I walked through some tests with the ASUS Tech Support and they were great! In the end, I had to return it and get a replacement, which went flawlessly.)As for the ASUS MB169C+, I could never get it to power up with the SP3, so I’m not sure if it’s a power issue, a DOA issue, or just that I was using a converter cable to go from the USB-C to USB 3.1 connection to the SP3. For more details on the GeChic 2501H, see my product review.

Could be great!
When working on my MAC laptop or Surface pro 3, I find the need to have an extra monitor to fully do what I need to seamlessly. I didn’t want to minimize other applications or be unable to do comparisons side-by-side. I spent a 1/2 day trying to get it to connect my Surface Pro 3 but it wouldn’t stay on and kept showing a black screen. I did some research and found that people were having issues with the same thing and that it was a Windows 10 problem, update the drivers. I did that by going straight to Displaylink, website, using the August 15th latest release. Still didn’t work. I even downgraded my Windows 10 to 8.1 – still didn’t work. Then gadget geeks mentioned to buy the y – cable 3.0 usb which I have on order. I will update to see if this works when I receive my y cable. I emailed Asus customer service – no reply yet. I gave up and tried it on my MBP, installed the driver that came with the monitor and it worked! I was sooo happy! The screen resolution was sooo clear and it was beautiful. I bought an Anker (http://smile.amazon.com/Anker-Multi-Angle-E-readers-Smartphones-Compatible/dp/B00D856NOG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1442509803&sr=8-1&keywords=anker+stand) to lift it up a little more off the table so I can use the space underneath for my papers. I didn’t use the case that came with it but I did try it and it works fine. The case just bugs me because the flap was in the way. If you have an iMac, be in for a surprise, it is the exact same OS platform as my MBP, it will give you a black screen and mirror all the monitors instead of extending it. When you extend it, you will see everything but once you start working on it, the screen will start showing a black trail left behind from the mouse movements and typing. This is also a known issue that DisplayLink referenced to take it back to Apple. I would give it a 5 star but knocked off 1 because of the issue with Windows 10 Surface Pro 3. The product itself definitely has a classy look to it and it’s ultra light, seemingly fragile but not cheap.UPDATE:Upgrade from 4 to 5 stars. I received my y cable usb 3.0 today from Cable Matters. The cable is short but it suits my needs. I plugged it into my Surface Pro 3 and it works. I was able to do this because I have the docking station with it. If you don’t have a docking stations, you would need to buy a usb hub but keep in mind that the power will be drawn from the built in port of the usb and cause the Surface Pro 3 to get warm quicker. I am loving it.UPDATE: 9/30/15One of the comments left mentioned the usb port that is on the SP3 power brick – totally forgot about it. It works that way as well but I didn’t feel like getting a usb extension since I already had the docking station. If you are anything like me, the less cables, the better – I have a thing for cable management.

Aunque es verdad que es un producto con costo elevado, realmente cumple con las expectativas, tanto en calidad de color como en tasa de refresco ya que la gama sRGB a como vino el mÃo cubre el 93% de los colores y con 240Hz lo hace una bestia, las bocinas no van a ser extremadamente buenas pero realmente se escuchan bien, la baterÃa integrada lo hace muy cómodo ya que no necesita estar enchufado a la pared y el trÃpode que incluye hace que la experiencia se eleve ya que puedes ajustarlo a diferentes alturas o a la que mejor te convenga, la verdad es un paquete premium para aquellos que no les moleste gastar un buen dinero por algo como esto, sin embargo se puede encontrar otras opciones mucho más accesibles que también cumplirán sus necesidades. Solo comprar si está dentro de su presupuesto y si realmente necesitan todo lo que brinda este paquete y ofrece el monitor. Recomendado si es el caso.

Tela leve. Usa uma conexão via USB 3 . O cabo é de bom tamanho é do mesmo tamanho do notebook e cabe na mesma mochila. Tem controle de brilho ótimo para quem se desloca e precisa de outra tela.

Kudos to Asus for being able to have a 17.3 portable monitor. Original was using one with my MacBook Pro 16 (2021) and works seamlessly. Now use it with my 15 inches Microsoft Surface book 3 and works perfectly. No Drivers are needed for either Windows or Mac.How happy I am with it? Well just ordered my second one. Using with Mac will be seamless, use with Surface Book 3 will need the ordered Microsoft Dock as dual-powered USB-C is needed (Surface book only has one USB-C jack).Important, buy it with the tripod, worth the difference in price. Have to love the Amazon.ca customer service supervisor to issue me a gift card for the Amazon.ca listing screw up which was noted with the tripod for $300 less than without, but then shipped without a tripod. Listing has been pulled but only after I was able to purchase the correct unit (with tripod) with a gift card included.Why the tripod? It allows you to use the monitor behind and above your MacBook, Notebook instead of behind. This is great in areas with limited space. Also, allow for adjustable height to that if you are using either a notebook cooler or riser. The footprint of the tripod feet (3) is about 6 inches. Very sturdy. Would have loved it if Asus used a standard mount for the tripod so that you could attach a monitor to a standard tripod or mount, but the proprietary mount is very secure. Allow the monitor to work in either horizontal or vertical viewing.Monitor resolution is awesome as well as the screen refresh rate.Some have noted that the fit and finish are flimsy but hold on… This is a 17-inch monitor that is super thin and exceptionally light. Using any other fit and finish would add weight and/or size. If you baby this item just as you would with your notebook itself, then no issue. Buttons are firm, internal menu options is great.The tripod also comes with a carry bag that can carry two of these monitors with separation along with a nifty zip pocket on both sides of the bottom which is where you can put not one but two of the tripods.So, for me, where I travel and stay in a hotel monthly a three-monitor configuration almost gives me the screen real estate that I have with my home office 47-inch curved monitor…The colours on the monitor are awesome and connectivity is great where you can power and view with one USB-C cable (to MacBook or Notebook) while you can power and connect to video only USB-C connection (Nintendo Switch etc.).The battery power is 3 hours but is a little shorter if running high-resolution games but that is expected.If you want to add a second or third monitor in my case, then this is your choice.One thing to note when ordering: XG17AHPE model is for the monitor without tripod while, XG17AHP model is for the monitor with a tripod and bag (best option).Been noticing that third-party websites (bought my first monitor through Best you know who! and they and other Canadian retailers are sold out mind you Amazon.ca and Amazon.com does have inventory at the time of this review.Asus advertising this monitor as portable with 3-hour battery life. It meets everything as described. The perfect option for portable gaming or in my case office use as well as software and web development.
