Our Verdict

Lenovo ThinkVision M14

ASUS ZenScreen Go MB16AHP

The ASUS ZenScreen Go MB16AHP and the Lenovo ThinkVision M14 are both portable IPS monitors. The ASUS is a bit bigger and has a built-in battery, so it doesn't need to draw power from your laptop, and it gets a bit brighter overall. However, colors look washed out on the ASUS because it has a very narrow color gamut, whereas the Lenovo has full sRGB coverage. The Lenovo only has USB-C inputs, while the ASUS can connect via Micro-HDMI or USB-A. The ASUS comes with a folio case that you can fold up to use as a stand, whereas the Lenovo's stand is a flap that also houses the inputs and controls.
