The recent CES has triggered many product releases, and so ASUS has announced its first single-cord USB-based display device. The product comes with USB – C type port. The USB-C allows the display to be connected to Apple’s Retina MacBook and many other other USB-C-compatible devices. The Asus MB196C+ portable display screen is 15.6-inch and has a FULL – HD resolution.

The product is a successor product to the Asus USB display MB168B+. The display has been updated to IPS for better color and viewing angles and resolution.

The ASUS‘ MB169C+ is quite thin with total 8.5mm thickness, and is light as it weighs around 1.8 pounds. The product makes for a good companion monitor to Macbooks with Retina displays.

The price and availability have not been shared by the company, but like its predecessor the price will be in the range of $200 to $300.
