Check your laptop's USB-C port first
The one-cable setup only works if your laptop's or phone's USB-C port carries video (DisplayPort Alt Mode); the makers of these monitors say so on their own pages. If your port does not, use the HDMI input instead. The two ASUS models with a USB 3.2 input (MB165B and MB168B) take video over USB rather than DisplayPort Alt Mode, and their 1366 x 768 TN screens are the least sharp here.

How to read these scores
Each portable monitor gets a rating out of 100 on each row of the benchmarksutra Portable Monitor Score, and a buyer profile weights the rows. Tiers: S 90+, A 80–89, B 70–79, C 60–69, D below 60. Where a maker page does not state a spec, that row scores zero, so a missing figure can never lift a score; we never guess. Read the full method.
