Portable Monitors Notice Surge in Popularity as Screen Time Rises

Berlin – As people spend increasingly more time looking at screens, a market for portable monitors is experiencing growth. Driven by shifts in operate patterns and leisure activities, the demand for secondary displays that offer flexibility and convenience is on the rise, with models like the Asus ZenScreen MB16AHV currently available at a discounted price.

Data from January 2022 indicated that individuals were spending an average of 10 hours per day in front of a screen – a two-hour increase since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This surge in screen time encompasses activities like video streaming, video conferencing, and online shopping. A study conducted by NortonLifeLock in September 2021 found that, beyond work and school, Germans were spending an additional 5.1 hours daily in front of screens, a habit linked to negative impacts on both physical and mental health.

The Asus ZenScreen MB16AHV, currently offered with a 44% discount – representing a €100 price reduction – aims to address the need for expanded screen real estate on the go. The monitor weighs just 0.9 kg and measures 10.5 mm in thickness, designed for portability. It features a built-in kickstand for flexible positioning in both portrait and landscape modes, and includes an auto-rotation function to ensure correct content orientation. A tripod mount is also included.

Connectivity options include USB-C, which can simultaneously transmit video signals and provide power, minimizing cable clutter. The monitor also features two USB-C ports and a Mini-HDMI connection for compatibility with a wider range of devices. The 15.6-inch IPS panel offers a Full HD resolution of 1920×1080, with an anti-glare surface designed to improve visibility in various lighting conditions.

The current price of €124.90 for the Asus ZenScreen MB16AHV represents the lowest price available, according to price tracking websites. Whereas the manufacturer’s suggested retail price has not been consistently enforced, the current offer provides a significant saving compared to the average price of approximately €141 over the past 90 days.

Other portable monitors currently on offer include the Yodoit Portable Monitor, available for €67.96 (a 15% discount), and the MSI PRO MP161 E2U, priced at €103.52 with a 25% discount.
