Asus Zenscreen Duo OLED MQ149CD Pros Great design
Good-looking OLED displays
Can run off a single cable Cons Pricey
Many settings require auxiliary power
Asus has stepped up to the dual-screen portable monitor plate with the Asus ZenScreen Duo OLED MQ149CD and it's a solid hit. Combining two lovely displays in a surprisingly compact and light design, the Duo has a lot going for it. And at $599, it needs to. While the build quality is a step above the competition, it might be overkill if you're just after something for productivity.
A beautiful, flexible design
The ZenScreen Duo OLED MQ149CD is one of the best-designed portable monitors I've tested. It has the fit and finish of a decent metal two-in-one laptop, and not an especially heavy one at that. It weighs just 2.3 pounds, giving it an advantage over several other dual-screen monitors I've tested. By comparison, the Acer PD163Q weighs 3.1 pounds and the Minisforum MDSA156 is 3.26 pounds.
A flexible design gives you two screens to use in any way you want. Asus
