Asus has just unveiled its solution for a great portable gaming experience. The ROG Strix XG16 portable gaming monitor is for those that wish to play on a bigger screen but aren’t in the comfort of their own home.

The Asus ROG Strix XG16 is a 15.6 inch monitor which will be launching sometime in December 2020. It was introduced by the company earlier today (23rd July 2020) alongside its flagship gaming handset, the ROG Phone 3. What sets this monitor apart from conventional gaming ones is the fact that it can fit in your backpack. You just need to connect it to your smartphone via a USB Type C port to game on a bigger screen.

Furthermore, it has a kickstand in the back, which allows it to be propped up on a table or any flat surface in either portrait or landscape mode. The fact that is has a laptop sized display enables its portability, despite having a 144Hz refresh rate and a 1080p resolution. According to official notes, the Asus ROG Strix XG16 is powered by a 7,800mAh battery that lasts up to 3 hours on a full charge.

The portable gaming monitor has two front facing speakers for audio output and even a 3.5mm headphone jack. It also has a micro HDMI port, so enthusiasts can also use it as a second screen for your PC. Asus is planning on selling a tripod along with it as well, which is an added bonus. Unfortunately, there has been no announcement for the price as of yet, although, the 17 inch XG17AHP variant is already available for $495 or $599 with the tripod.

For as long as we remember, monitors have always had flat screens with the usual changes limited to screen size, resolution, aspect ratio, and bezel thickness. But ever since we started having curved TV displays, we’ve seen some manufacturers bring the party to monitors too. One such manufacturer is ASUS, and this time, they’ve launched a massive 34’’ curved monitor called the ASUS Designo MX34VQ.

We don’t know if there’s a market for this kind of monitor yet, but for those who fancy curved displays, the Designo boasts a UWQHD resolution (3440 x 1440) and features ASUS’ SonicMaster audio which is incorporated with Harman Kardon’s audio technology. What this means is that you don’t need to hook up those crazy speakers you’ve got  as the monitor has a pair already. The circular base of the monitor is also said to serve as a Qi wireless charging pad for compatible devices. Owners of the Lumia 950 and other Qi enabled devices should find this feature useful.
While pricing is still unknown, interested buyers should expect it not to be cheap considering its curved display, high resolution, audio power, and wireless charging base.
