Frequently asked questions
What resolution does the ASUS ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH run at?
The panel shows 1920x1080 pixels across 16 inches, around 138 pixels per inch. That is Full HD, the entry level definition, comfortable up to 24 inches and stretched beyond that. The OLED panel delivers perfect blacks, with the usual caveat about burn in on static interfaces.
Is the ASUS ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH a good monitor for gaming?
Not as a priority. The panel tops out at 60 Hz, enough for office work, video and slow paced games. For fast games, the 144 Hz and higher models in the comparison remain far better suited. The 16 inches at 1920x1080 also weigh on the frame rate the graphics card can hold.
Does the ASUS ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH have a USB-C connection?
Yes, a USB-C port sits on its connection panel, which keeps the number of desk cables down. Beyond that it offers HDR, but goes without a height adjustable stand, built in speakers and a curved panel. With no height adjustment, a monitor arm quickly becomes useful to line the panel up with your eyes.
Is the ASUS ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH worth 350 euros?
At 350 euros it scores 4.5/5 across 800 Amazon reviews. That is one of the best scores in the category. We gave it our OLED portable label in the selection. Main strength: OLED panel with vibrant colors. Main compromise: expensive for a portable monitor.
