Thats a great suggestion! i am looking for a new portable touch screen monitor. I just made a samsung Dex video, Check it out and let me know what i might have missed on Dex features! th-cam.com/video/GHaqquwT-_A/w-d-xo.html
Great video!
Great video bro, can you tell me the beat name at 0:25
Here from reddit and pleasantly surprised at the quality of your content and the production value. Hope you make it big man 💯
Thank you so much kevinquisition. Appreciate the feedback and support :)

Came here from Reddit. First video of yours that I've seen. Fantastic and entertaining video! Subscribed. (Currently use DeX natively on my Tab S4 and on my S20 Ultra using DeX on PC.)
Thank you so much Paul. Appreciate the feedback and sub :)
How did i not come across your channel sooner??? Subscribed!
Thank you so much! Hope you are keeping well.
Reddit Squad. It's funny when someone posts their video on there I expect it to be all amateur hour. Meanwhile this is pro level quality. Subscribed!
Thank you so much Carlito. Appreciate the amazing feedback and sub :)
I don't like that Asus screen for two reasons which you mentioned:
It is only 1080 and it is not too bright.
However, you talk in a such a convincing and informative way while expertly connecting with your online audience that you can easily be a terrific sales or marketing person of a top high tech corporation. Maybe you already are one. And because of that I liked your video and I already subscribed to your channel hoping you will have other interesting videos as the this one.
And yes, I use and love DEX. I use it with a 32 inch 1080 Samsung TV and Bluetooth mouse and keyboard. I have the following interfaces to connect: the Microsoft wired adapter and a Samsung Dex cable. No hub. I use sometimes the wireless Microsoft adapter. But the one that gives the best DEX experience is the Samsung DEX cable.
Best wishes to you and your channel! You already have one more avid subscriber.
Thank you for your kind words!
From Reddit! This is some quality content! Subscribed!
Also, I haven't tried the Samsung Dex yet. Still looking for a connector here.
Thank you so much Dinocorn. Appreciate the feedback and sub :)
I beileve there are lots of 3rd party adapters that work on Amazon.
Great content, and great delivery. It's clear you are a technology expert. Please make more of these videos. I would love to see you review the latest smartphones too!
Thanks, will do!
Thanks for the video. Is it possible to charge the monitor simultaneously while using Dex mode?
If you allow the connected device to charge in the menu, then it can charge it self from the phone. You can then wirelessly charge your phone to make sure that doesnt get depleted.
This review was like finding that cable you thought was lost. @4:12 you gave me one solution and went on to explain dex plus notes plus Bluetooth, genius. Now I have to figure out how to run this in my car and get rid of my head unit. Sub 🖖👽
Let's build that base!
Glad you enjoyed the video and glad it helped you. Good luck with putting it in your car. Would love to see the end result.
I loved the video and how you did your commentary for us. I'm subscribed based on them facts alone. Thank you. Much appreciated.
Thank you - Glad you enjoyed the video!
i rarely comment on YOutube, guess im just not used to. but your review is really cool. i'm awaiting exactly same monitor now to be delivered and you just assured me i made a right choice
Hey, thanks!
Interesting piece of kit. Oh, what is that extremely annoying tapping in the background? From my end I thought something in our home was making noise, it drove us nuts, then we realized it is from your video. Why do TH-camrs think background music/noise makes their videos better. Be aware, we came to hear your not music, also many folks have hearing difficulties thus that annoying background noise make hearing/understanding you difficult.
Thank you for the feedback - I will take it on board.
Really good quality content man. Was big help. Here from reddit too.
Wish you the best
Thank you so much Roman - Much Appreciated!
Also from reddit/S20. Well done vid, thanks for posting
Thank you so much CaptainRon1913. Appreciate the feedback and support :)
usefull more than, you the only one who told me the model i needed, cause the other asus display dont do it, this model does, good work )
Thank you so much. Glad I could help!
started liking your videos. one question though. would i be able to connect keyboard and mouse while using DEX?
Good work man. I can't wait to snag one and see if it limits the app capabilities.
I needed something simple and cheap so I bought a 100 bucks 15 inch thing with no touchscreen or battery. I added an old wireless KB and mouse. It's just so I can turn my phone into a computer when I need to do something quick.
Great video mate!! What monitor would you choose to match my note 10 plus with wqhd+ mode? And i want to use it only to edit photos on Lightroom?
Great Video, getting one for my truck ! I love Samsung Dex, I use samsung freestyle projector too til i dropped it one too many times!
I just got my first really nice phone. A Galaxy note 20 ultra and I'm looking for a monitor to match the capabilities and quality of my phone and be portable. I found your video very helpful and your personality is very uplifting and full of light. TY
So glad that I could help and you enjoyed my video!
Hi
I've been running Dex for about a year now.
I use:
ASUS Zenscreen MB16AMT
Logitech MX Master 2s Mouse
Logitech K580 Keyboard
I use a Targus USB C hub when I need to connect up an external drive.
I've got adaptors and all for USB C to HDMI.
Keep up the vids, great stuff :-)
Great set up! Glad you're enjoying the videos.
Great video, just subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Great thanks. I just got this mostly because of this review! Love it, except one thing I am struggling with..
Is there a way to use it with my phone connected with the USB-C cable, and have it charging? I cannot find a dock or usbc splitter that will support charging while having video input at the same time. hope this makes sense. I know there is the HDMI input, but the touchscreen function will not work while I use this, and I dont want to have to carry an HDMI cord everywhere too.
Right now as soon as the battery is dead on either my phone or the screen, I have to stop using it and charge it back up before reconnecting.
Please and thank you!
I usually have a wireless charger for my phone so that is continuously charged when I use the phone and screen at a desk. i then turn on the option in the screen to allow charging from the connected device so that the screen is also charged from the phone.
@@BallysRealm ok thanks good idea. ill pick myself up a wireless charger. Thanks :)
Great review !!!!! just what I need for my smartphone thank you
Nice combination... I wonder about how to charge my Samsung smartphone and monitor at same time. I will be working on this setup for hours.
Change the setting in the monitor to charge from the phone. You can then wirelessy charge your Samsung phone to keep charging that up.
Well done. Best Buy in the states has these for cheap now.
This looks really interesting. I need to try dex out to see if I like it.
It is really handy when you need a computer like experience for your phone. Its better to use for using apps on another screen or multi tasking.
i dun understand, Samsung makes Galaxy Phone, the OneUI, the DeX, and makes LCD monitors.. and Dex Station and DeX Pad, so why not a monitor for DeX use? (like NeX dock, with keyboard and touchpad)
That would be a great idea!
Great 👍🏼video
Thank you 👍
Bally, Just joined your channel today, absolutely love your videos! Currently studying an online IT traineeship and after much googling for extra curricular studies, I came across your page. You are the embodiment of what I want to be doing on the side. Any tips for a new die hard fan? :P
P.S. Thought youd like to know (stats) I originally found you on Reddit, as I see some others have and now here we all are! Absolutely fantastic channel for visual aids. Your channel's so useful for more practical applications in a working/home/day-to-day environment. Bravo mate. What's your day job?
Welcome. Glad that you are ejoying the content. I started this channel at a time that I was off for personal paternity leave so had the time make, plan and edit all the videos. Since then I have found it hard to post regularly and build my channel up as I would have wanted to.
My first tip would be to make sure you post regularly - this will build up your video editing and recording skills. It will also improve your skills on camera and make your presenting better.
Second tip - Make videos about the stuff you are passionate about. I am passionate about everything on my channel and therefore enjoy buying and making videos about these products.
Try and address the need for knowledge - make your videos as entertaning and educational as you can so that the viewers walk away with something to remember/use.
Most importantly, just start and do things. Dont put things off until everything aligns perfectly and only then you can release the video (this was more of a tip to me - haha)
Good luck!
@@BallysRealm thank you!
Great review, and great vid!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi mate, great video. Just wondering how to charge at the same time using dex? Charge through of course usb c and connect the phone through the hdmi? But will touch work through hdmi? Cheers!
Touch will only work via USB-C cable.
HDMI will only give you the picture.
You can change the setting on the screen to allow you to charge from your smartphone and then you can use a wireless charger to charge your phone at the same time.
Great video thanks! Do you know if I can use a type C splitter to charge and use dex at the same time ? I want it to replace my laptop so 4 hrs use is not enough thanks
That's a good question, thank you for asking it. To bad he hasn't answered, I've been wondering the same thing.....
Hi, I dont believe this is possible. The usbc cable acts as a HDMI alt mode connection (allowing a HDMI signal to be used through a USB C cable) A splitter would not allow the signal to go through. It has to be point to point.
As above, I dont believe it is possible.
Thank you for your reply
Hi there. Great video. Can this connect to Huwaei Desktop Mode...??
Hi I'm back again - so can you use your keyboard with dex on this monitor? Does the monitor support wireless dex connection?
Thank you for the video. You had all the info I needed to make an informed decision on what monitor I was going to get for my note 20 ultra. No I would need to risk buying something that won't work. Ask I often do. Thank you again.
What's your final decision?
Great to hear!
Can I charge & watch like at the airport w/ usb C charging & is it passing charge to my phone? What is the bear Apple Mac mini or iPhone compatible for windows touch on Mac?
Nice review. This what I'm looking for
Thank you, Glad I could help!
Reddit gang. Nice video!
Thank you so much Nigel. Appreciate the feedback and support :)
an unique take on tech, I like it 👍
keep up the good work
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
INformative!!!!
Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Good video. I've had an iPhone from the beginning but the Samsung DEX feature is really causing me to lean towards getting a Samsung phone when I next go to upgrade. It's honestly near to having a computer in your pocket.
100%
You have high production values Bally. Where exactly are your commutes home from?
Thank you - it was from central london so I had a nice 45 mins / 1 hour commute to fit in a show or 2.
Have you tried using other type C cable? E.g. shorter ones to keep it neat or the proprietary is a must for the touch screen to work.
I haven't tried a shorter cable, but I have used a different USB C cable and it all worked fine. I don't see why a different shorter cable wouldn't work.
Well made video!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
Great screen. If using the screen wirelessly by dex. Does the monitor have HDMI out?
It doesnt have any output - only input.
Bro... this is one of the best reviews in TH-cam..
i really do like ...
I have a doubt ... can I use this monitor with my microsoft surface pro duo laptop as a extended monitor ? In that case touch will work in this monitor???
Once u r free , plz let me knw ...
Take care....
Thank you so much for the lovely comment.
I am not sure if the monitor will work with the Microsoft surface pro duo. It's not a windows device so it won't pick it up as a secondary display, and its not Samsung so won't have Samsung Dex in it.
You may be able to use an HDMI cable from the device if it outputs a video via an HDMI to USBC adapter, but it won't work as a touch screen the way.
Great video currently using s20 plus. I've been debating using a 24" Asus 1080 165hz monitor or portable touch screen lmk your thoughts thanks🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Depends on what you need it for. If it's only for the PC, then use the 24" Asus, it should be brighter and better on the eyes. If portability is your goal, then the Asus Zenscreen touch will be a great choice! It will allow you to do both.
Will it charge your phone from either the screen's internal battery or when the screen is plugged in to charge and your phone is connected as well?
Unfortunately it doesnt charge anything. The battery in the screen will have to be charged separately. The phone can charge the screen though. You can change these options in the monitor if you didnt want the phone to charge it.
So I love the monitor, I have one myself but I can't believe you didn't talk about how to hook up the monitor to the Z Fold 3. I've tried with the USB C and no dice. Some help would be AWESOME!
Did you download the apps for the monitor?
Hi David, my video was released before the Z Fold 3 was announced. As Omar replied below, did you try inslling the Zenscreen touch app?
very good. not a lot of people taliking about dex sadly
Yep, its so underrated.
Awesome, but how did you get the Netflix library full screen?
Thank You! You can full screen Netflix. If this doesn't work, then you will need to do it via Dex Labs - "Open Settings on the desktop, then click on Samsung DeX. There you should see a toggle for Samsung DeX Labs. Clicking this will force all non-DeX apps to operate in full screen, and some will even be resizeable."
love the video, great quality
Much appreciated!
Thanks for information
You're welcome!
About the DEX experience.
If I understood it correctly, the monitor will be powered by usb-c, which means you have some hours of usage of both screen and cellphone in direct connect.
Now, to combine that with a charger - how would the setup be? A USB adapter for the cellphone, connection through USB A to C to the monitor and HDMI from the adapter to the micro-hdmi of the screen? And if that's the scenario, would touch still be available?
I think the best set up would be to connect the phone to the screen using a usb-c to usb-c. On the screen change the setting to allow it to charge from the phone as you are using it and then place the phone onto a wireless charger so that it can be charged at the same time as using it.
@@BallysRealm Thanks for the answer!
That's a cool idea that I didn't thought about. And as Dex enabled devices have quick wireless charging, this might be the best solution!
Really thank you!
You're welcome. Glad I could help!
A well made video with easy to chew info. Nice one
Glad you liked it
Hellooo! Could you please confirm if Samsung Dex works with the ASUS Zenscreen Touch MB16AMT.
Thanks.
Great review! ✅️✅️✅️
UPDATE. Just about to watch this review.
So, you can touch the screen like a big phone or is the touch just to zoom? I had seen him moving movies up and down.
It is touch screen just like a big tablet. You need to make sure you install the software counter part on your phone in order for it to work this way.
Awesome review
Thank you! Cheers!
Luved it
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have an asus but when I connect it to my s21 fe it keeps flashing like a notification I trying to come through then doesn't
True trooper…. Thanks for your honest assessment
Always!
The video is alright but it could be better if you also covered how to turn on the permissions after installing Zenscreen app on my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (Dec device). I know how to get to permissions in the setting but cannot change it to allow Zenscreen access. I do not see where or how to install Display link & authorize. I do not know where to Turn on Handy Tool for touch asst & features. Basically the Zenscreen Touch app tutorial sucks. It just give you a billet list of what to do but no visuals or instructions on HOW to do what it only list to do with no detail and/or video. Please help. Thanks
Does anyone know if Samsung Dex will show an on-screen keyboard if you use a touchscreen portable monitor?
How's mobile gaming on this? Is it full screen? Smooth fps? These are the real questions!!!
Hey Bally, love the video!
At this price, would it be idealistic to just get a Tablet which would act as it's own device.
Do you have the means to compare this to a tablet, I'm sure people would love a comparison of that sort.
Viewer's, I'd love your responses aswell.
Thanks. The main reason I got it was so that I only had 1 device with all my media and settings on. This screen just privided me another option for what i wanted to watch my content on. If i wanted to watch on my phone I could, If i wanted a bigger screen I added the portable screen.
If have a separate tablet, but with that set up I need to have 2 devices set up and have the content copied on. If i forgot to download a film on my tablet, I could only watch it on the smaller phone screen.
How come the USB-C port is a bit crooked? on an angle, was that from wear and tear or it was already like that?
I dropped my monitor with the cable in.....oops! Still works perfectly well though.
I dont have a monitor yet. But i would like to have one.
Nice video brother and I really want this but unfortunately cos of covid I lost my job so I can't afford it
Sorry to hear that. 1 day you will - Keep faith.
I have a touch screen monitor Xtendtouch, do I have to download an apple like zenscreen touch for Samsung wireless Dex to work?
Wireless Dex and touch screen monitors do not work. There is no way for the touch input to be sent back to the phone. It is a 1 way signal.
Quick question: Since there's only one USB C port, there's no way to charge it and still use it as a touch screen unless you buy a dongle?
The only way to use it like this is to connect it via the wire and set the option on the screen to charge form the phone. Then you can wirelessly charge the phone.
@@BallysRealm Thanks, I ended up buying the Pepper Jobs screen for that reason. It has an additional USB-C port, although its power is very low (apparently to avoid reverse charging) and it doesn't really charge the phone much. It just doesn't let it discharge as you work. But it has an additional micro-USB to serve as a hub, so that's nice too. I wish there's more competition in this segment soon.
i have one and i might use ur adviice i like your enthusiast ....... yes i did hit those button!
Thank you so much!
Did not mention what cable you have used and which port to connect to make the touchscreen work
I jsut used the cable that came with the screen. The included USBC to USBC. Plugged into the USBC port on the screen.
I had to install the zenscreen touch app on my phone to make it touch screen.
0.9mm thick? Really think you meant 0.9cm :D
Love it
Thanks :)
Great présentation !
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Hi I would love your advise now that 5he tab s8 ultra tablet has been released? I am thinking of buying the s22 ultra phone and an asus zen sceen mostly to have everything in one place on one device... However they seem to boast about synergy between the s22 ultra phone and s8 ultra tablet
S8 Ultra would be an ideal screen to view on (will be better than the Zenscreen touch) - but its almost 3 times the price!
It all depends on what you are after. If you can manage 2 devices and their content and can afford it, then get both devices.
If you just want to manage content on just 1 device, then the Zenscreen Touch will be a great way to give your phone a bigger screen.
I think the synergy is more about sharing things to and from each device. If you have a video file on one device, I dont think it will automatically be on the other device.
@@BallysRealm agreed thank you so much
Been a bit hesitant on this one. I got one a few days ago but I'm just starting to see a lot of reviews on it being fragile and saying it stopped working after 2-3 months. How long have you had it and how do you carry it around?
I have had mine for 2 years now and its still working fine. I have even dropped it with the USB-C cable plugged in. The port bent a tiny bit, but still works with no issues.
Asus looks nice but ended up getting a non-touch for about half the price, also can plug in Switch with a single USB-C cable for on-the-go gaming.
Overall these new portable monitors are extremely versatile, great for both work and play.
I agree, these monitors are extremely versitle!
i do have a concern about its battery life, obv how long it lasts will depend on what u use it for, but the fact that its only got 1 usb c port is so stupid. theres many generic chinese brand ones on amazon that has two, 1 for ur phone, 1 for AC power. i dont understand why asus doesnt do this, on its highest end model too
I rather have this with my rog Phone instead of samsung tab or ipad pro. Most capable combo
is there a monitor with battery, qled tech and with 17 inch size?
I have a note 20 ultra, will I still need a Dex station with this or can I just use the usb-C cable and turn on the Dex on my phone?
USB C cable should wotk.
Note 9>HDMI - USB C cable> LG Monitor> samsung fast wireless charging pad> logitech bluetooth mouse
Good set up, but I would change the HDMI to USB C cable to just a USBC to USBC cable. Cut out the adapters. My Samsung monitor works like this.
@@BallysRealm Nice! Yeah those typeC to typeC cables seem super convenient, but my monitor doesn't have type c inputs. Looking forward to getting a device with wireless dex here shortly.
your mad for having a huge screen on public transport lol but i get you. typical guy like me though: baby being born but make sure the entertainment is sorted lol
lol, priorities
Wait till you discover the iPad my friend 😆
Haha, used one before but wasnt my cup of tea. Not a big fan of iOS if i'm honest.
Hey I just got this asus zenscreen but with my Sam. note10+ I'm not able to run dex with this monitor (original usb-c cable) do you have any suggestion of what can be the reason? Thanks
Have you set the device type in the screens menu to mobile? Sometimes that helps pick up the device.
Good job... With wireless dex do you think something with inbuilt Miracast and battery would be amazing. There's one on Ali express 😂
Thank you. Something like that would be great. portable screen with built in miracast would be even better!
Yup already done since 2016. It's the HP Elite x3 lapdock. Was built normally for Windows 10mobile phones with Continuum. But since Microsoft discontinued Windows 10mobile. You can swipe around for it just normal.
i really like the touch screen and the body of the monitor tablet. but too expensive >_<
but...saving cash for samsung s24 ultra
never own an ultra phone before >_
Can you run DEx on the zenscreen in portrait mode?
hey mate ive got a ZEN screen GO with Samsung s21 ultra 5g and the usb c to usb c doesnt seem to activate dex. any ideas?
Are you using the original cable with that came with the screen?
Because I read about people considering this monitor as portable Dex setup. Just for all of you to be aware, it is extremely fragile and I suggest to not carry this in a laptop bag.
I had two of them and both of them had the liquid crystals cracked withougt dropping or hitting them. It is a combination of the case not being protective and the plastic frame on the front being very weak. It is so fragile to the point that I consider it to be a design flaw.
To make it worse, the damage was not covered by Asus warranty and at the same time they cannot repair them even if I paid.
I would recommend you to look elsewhere unless you always keep it on a desk and never move it.
Mine has been fine to carry. I use the included cover to protect the screen as it is hard enough for that. I also carry the screen in a 15 inch laptop pouch for extra protection. Carried it to and from work for nearly 6 months with no issues.
I passed my experience as someone who really takes care of his stuff. Was surprised when it happened.
When you will have a problem with either the panel or any of the ports, Asus will put you out of warranty and will end up with a monitor that neither the manufacturer nor any other repair center can repair, as there are no replacement parts. Feel free to confirm this with Asus. I just thought that potential buyers need to be aware of that as it is not a cheap device.
That's awesome
Thank you!
But does this Support casting samsung's wireless dex feature?
If you attach a fireTV stick or any other miracast device to it, then yoes it can. See this video I made about it: th-cam.com/video/KuSGMP0bYAo/w-d-xo.html
If the battery is empty, how can you charge it while you are connected to Dex?
I usually have a wireless charger for my phone so that is continuously charged when I use the phone and screen at a desk. i then turn on the option in the screen to allow charging from the connected device so that the screen is also charged from the phone.
super monitor
Yeah its great. I still love mine!
Does it support the S Pen as well?
Just checked and unfortunately it didnt react to the S pen I have with my Tab S7+
Just got the ASUS portable monitor today before seeing this video. I agree, I like this set up and really enjoy using the Dex on my Samsung S20 Ultra as a substitute for a laptop.
Enjoy your videos. You have a great presentation of your videos. Keep up the good work 😀
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video. Enjoy your screen!
