ASUS ZenScreen MB16ACE with USB-C Gray
Score: 64/100Rankings
The AOC 24G2 is a 23.8-inch IPS gaming monitor praised for its 144 Hz refresh rate and vibrant colors. Its modest contrast, limited brightness, and lack of speakers are notable trade-offs. Ideal for budget-conscious esports players who value speed over HDR performance.
The ASUS ZenScreen MB16ACE is a 15.6-inch portable IPS monitor notable for its ultra-thin 8 mm profile and hybrid USB-C/A connectivity. Its modest brightness, lack of speakers and driver-dependent USB-A input limit its suitability for demanding tasks. Best suited for mobile professionals needing a lightweight secondary screen with auto-rotate capability.

Professional reviewers commend the 24G2 for its low input lag, FreeSync Premium and G-Sync compatibility, which together deliver a highly responsive gaming experience. The IPS panel's color accuracy and 123 % sRGB coverage receive praise, as does the compact ergonomic stand that fits tight desk spaces. However, editors note the modest 1000:1 contrast ratio, lack of HDR, and average brightness as drawbacks for dark-room or content-creation work.
Everyday users highlight the smooth 144 Hz gameplay, vibrant IPS colors, and sturdy adjustable stand as the main strengths of the monitor. Recurring complaints focus on IPS glow, backlight bleeding, limited ports, stand wobble at full height, and the monitor's low brightness in bright environments.
“Smooth gaming (144 Hz + FreeSync reduces tearing)”
“Sturdy adjustable stand”
Professional reviewers and editors commend the ZenScreen MB16ACE for its unmatched portability, thin profile, and convenient single-cable USB hybrid-signal operation. They also value the auto-rotation and eye-care features, though they point out the modest brightness, lack of speakers, and the need for a DisplayLink driver on USB-A as notable drawbacks.
Everyday users consistently praise the monitor's ultra-slim, lightweight build and the hassle-free USB-C connection that eliminates extra adapters. The foldable case stand and broad OS support receive frequent positive mentions, while the requirement for a driver on USB-A, absence of speakers, and limited brightness are common sources of mild disappointment.
