I love to use a double screen, whether I’m editing, writing or drawing. Previously I waxed lyrical about the HP E34m G4’s curved screen because I finally found something big enough to contain my setup in a single screen. While I’m used to working with a lot of space in my home setup, when I’m out and about I tend to be stuck with a single 16:9 box. And this is one of the main reasons I’ve struggled to work while travelling; a double screen is so key to my audio-editing, writing and admin setup that without that second monitor, I feel like I’m missing a limb.
Enter the ASUS ZenScreen MB166CR. One of a new round of portable monitors, the ASUS ZenScreen MB166CR is hyper-portable, plug-and-play friendly and because it’s run solely off of its USB-C cable, it doesn’t require you to hog all the plugs (a coffee-shop crime). Retailing at around £169, it’s a budget version of big OLED sister the ASUS ZenScreen MQ16AH, with a smaller price tag to go with its lower-spec screen.
