ZEN AT YOUR FINGERTIPS
The ZenScreen Touch measures 9 by 14.2 by 0.4 inches,
and is housed in a handsome, silver-gray case. At its
heart is its 15.6-inch, touch-sensitive 1080p (1,920-by-
1,080-pixel) IPS panel. The screen is the same size as
those of the Asus ZenScreen MB16ACE, Asus ZenScreen
Go (MB16AC), AOC I1601FWUX, and Lepow 15.6-Inch
USB-C Portable Monitor, all of which we have tested or
are in the process of testing.
As was the case with all these panels, the ZenScreen
Touch worked with my late-model Dell XPS 13 with no
apparent compatibility issues despite the laptop’s and

resolution. (My XPS 13 has a 13.3-inch, 4K UHD screen,
with twice the vertical and horizontal pixels as a 1080p
screen while retaining the same 16:9 widescreen aspect

for a 15.6-inch or larger laptop, provided that it has
DisplayPort-over-USB-C video-out connectivity.
