ASUS Intros ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH Portable Monitor
ASUS today introduced the ZenScreen OLED MQ16AH, a 15.6-inch portable monitor, which is a generational update to the ZenScreen MB14AC it launched back in 2020. Unlike its LED-backlit IPS-based predecessor, the MQ16AH uses an OLED panel, with Delta E <2, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, 10-bit (1.07 billion colors), HDR-10, 100,000:1 contrast-ratio, and 360 cd/m² brightness, which can peak up to 400 cd/m². The display offers Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) native resolution, with 60 Hz refresh-rate, and 1 ms (GTG) response time. Display inputs include mini-HDMI (with a mini-to-standard HDMI cable), and two USB-C cables. If you use the HDMI, one of these has to be plugged in to a power source (included power brick); or if you use USB-C (with DP passthrough), that meets PD 20 W, a single cable can be used for both power and input. Measuring 358.7 mm x 226.15 mm x 8.95 mm (WxHxD), it weighs 650 g. The company didn't reveal pricing.

My 5700G Lone L5 came with me on my recent trip and everything was breezy, except still being reliant on hotel TVs and friends' TVs. The specs on the MQ16AH look great, crappy color accuracy on aforementioned TVs prevents me from working on the photos I took during the day. Proximity sensor also solves my only concern with OLED.
Makes me wonder if AMD's reference USB-C cards and RTX20 FE's Virtualink can run this monitor. Virtualink wasn't PD, but could allegedly supply 27W.
Are there any motherboards with USB-C that meets the requirements? Or do we need to wait for USB4?
So 360 nits well that isn't enough for the HDR10 standard of min 1000 nits so any actual HDR10 content is going to look like shite
Just for reference.
They have similarly priced 15" full HD version too. (16:9)
