ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC USB-C Portable Monitor

Looks like the reason it didn't work on your test machine when using USB-C and worked more responsive when connected to a Mac is the display supporting 2 different input interfaces, DisplayPort 1.3 (as an alternate mode of USB 3.1, ~25.92 Gb/s) and DisplayLink (compressed video stream over plain USB 3.0, ~4 Gb/s). Could you check if it's true?

"Weighs only 2 months"
So how do we convert that to ounces or grams?
An apple a day, so the weight of 30 average apples equals a month?

For those not into the world of portable monitors, you can have normal hdmi/VGA/DP portable screens like this https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Moni...f=pd_sim_147_3 that sure cost a bit more (350$ vs 250$), but are actual screens with normal input ports and don't require silly drivers.

Also, Displayport blob does not work with NVIDIA GPUs or other closed GPU blobs. On hybrid laptops this should not theoretically be an issue anyway because it is the iGPU that has the display controllers, but it might be an issue, don't know.

Phoronix: ASUS ZenScreen MB16AC USB-C Portable Monitor

What if you could have a monitor that weighed less than two pounds, only required a single cable for both power and display, offered 1080p on a 15-inch IPS screen, and was designed for portability? It would be possible to easily have a secondary display with you anywhere whether it be outdoors, on the beach, in the conference room, or practically anywhere. ASUS has managed such a device with the MB16AC ZenScreen.
