ASUS ZenScreen MB166CR 16" Portable USB Monitor
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ASUS ZenScreen MB166CR 15.6" Portable USB Monitor (ASU-MB166CR / 90LM07D3-B03110) - 3 Years Local Warranty
A Single-Cable 360° Kickstand Portable Monitor
The ASUS ZenScreen MB166CR is a 15.6-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS portable monitor connecting over a single USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode) port, paired with a 360° adjustable kickstand for continuous angle control rather than the narrower tilt range of a simple fold-out stand. For a Singapore user who wants the flexible positioning of the 360° kickstand without needing a second video port, this is the leaner single-USB-C option in the ZenScreen range.
At approximately 0.78 kg and around 11.8 mm thick, it travels easily alongside a laptop.
Single USB-C for Video and Power
One USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode) port carries both video and power from a compatible host over a single cable, keeping cable clutter to a minimum. There is no HDMI or second USB-C port on this model, so it works with any laptop, tablet or phone whose USB-C port outputs DisplayPort Alt Mode video, and will not connect directly to an HDMI-only or older USB-A-only source.
360° Kickstand for Precise Angle Control
Rather than a fixed tilt band, the 360° kickstand allows continuous angle adjustment through its full range, in both landscape and portrait orientation — useful for an unusual desk angle, presenting to someone across a table, or propping the monitor nearly flat.
IPS Panel with TÜV-Certified Eye Care
The panel is IPS with a 178°/178° viewing angle, 250 cd/m² typical brightness, an 800:1 contrast ratio and an anti-glare surface. ASUS Eye Care (TÜV Rheinland-certified Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light) is active by default, and ASUS SPLENDID preset modes, GamePlus overlays and a QuickFit alignment grid round out the feature set.
Auto-Rotation and Low Power Draw
Typical power consumption is rated at 5.24W — a lower draw figure than several other ZenScreen models — which most USB-C laptop ports handle without difficulty over the same cable carrying video, no separate adapter required. With ASUS DisplayWidget software installed on the host laptop, the screen automatically detects physical rotation and switches between landscape and portrait.
ASUS SPLENDID, GamePlus and QuickFit
ASUS SPLENDID preset display modes, GamePlus overlays (crosshair, timer, FPS counter) and a QuickFit alignment grid for photo and document work round out the software feature set, the same core tools shared across the ZenScreen range.
Supplied Locally, with GST Invoice and Singapore Warranty
SourceIT supplies the ASUS ZenScreen MB166CR with a full GST invoice and local Singapore warranty support. ASUS's manufacturer term for this model is 3 years.

Connectivity & Portability
Single USB-C — What It Does and Does Not Cover
One USB-C port carries both DisplayPort Alt Mode video and power, so this works with any laptop, tablet or phone whose USB-C port outputs DP Alt Mode video. There is no HDMI input and no second USB-C port, so an HDMI-only source or a laptop without USB-C video output will not connect directly — the MB169CK, MB16AHV or MB16AHT in our catalogue add a Mini-HDMI input if that is what your source needs.
360° Kickstand — What the Extra Range Gives You
Continuous angle adjustment through the kickstand's full range, in both landscape and portrait, covers positioning a fixed-tilt kickstand cannot reach — an unusually low or high angle, angling toward a second person, or laying the panel closer to flat.
Lowest Power Draw of These Models
At 5.24W typical, the MB166CR draws less power than the other ZenScreen models in our catalogue, which means it is comfortably within what almost any USB-C laptop port can supply without a separate adapter.
Weight and Daily Carry
At approximately 0.78 kg, it matches the MB169CK and MB166C for weight — among the lighter panels in the ZenScreen range, suited to daily carry.

Frequently Asked Questions — ASUS MB166CR
Does it work with my laptop's USB-C port?
It will, provided that port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode video output over USB-C — standard on most recent Windows ultrabooks and all modern MacBooks. Charging-only USB-C ports do not carry a video signal and will not drive this monitor. Email us your laptop model if you are unsure.
Does it have an HDMI input?
No. This model connects over a single USB-C port only, with no HDMI or second USB-C port. If you need HDMI, the MB169CK, MB16AHV or MB16AHT in our catalogue include a Mini-HDMI input.
What does the 360° kickstand let me do that a fixed-tilt one doesn't?
Continuous angle adjustment through the full range in both landscape and portrait, rather than a fixed tilt band — useful for unusual angles or presenting to someone across a table.
Do I need a separate power adapter?
No. The single USB-C cable carries both video and the monitor's power draw (5.24W typical, lower than the other single-cable models here) from the host device.
How does the MB166CR compare with the MB169CK in your catalogue?
Both share the 360° kickstand and the same core Full HD IPS panel. The MB166CR has a single USB-C port only; the MB169CK adds a second USB-C port and a Mini-HDMI input for more connection options.
Does it have built-in speakers?
No built-in speaker on this model.
Can it run in portrait mode?
Yes, and with ASUS DisplayWidget software installed the image automatically follows the physical rotation of the panel.
Is the fold-out MB166C stand or the 360° kickstand better for a train or flight tray table?
The 360° kickstand generally works better in a confined space, since it can be set to a lower or more upright angle than a fixed-tilt fold-out stand allows.
Does it come with a Singapore warranty and a GST invoice?
Yes. Every ASUS ZenScreen MB166CR sold by SourceIT comes with local Singapore warranty and a GST invoice; ASUS backs the MB166CR with a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
