ASUS Announces ZenScreen MB16ACV

My Geek Score: ASUS today announced the ZenScreen MB16ACV, a 15.6-inch FHD portable monitor with an anti-glare IPS panel and ultra-narrow bezel design. It is the world’s first portable monitor with a long-lasting ionic silver antibacterial treatment embedded in the monitor’s bezel and back. This treatment meets JIS Z 2901 and ISO 22196 test standards, potentially reducing the spread of
harmful bacteria and keeping the user safe while working on the go.

The ZenScreen MB16ACV frame and back are the first portable monitors with a long-lasting silver ion coating to prevent bacterial growth and are 99.9% resistant to bacterial growth and adhesion. This coating meets JIS Z 2901 and ISO 22196 test standards and protects frequent travellers by reducing harmful bacteria’s potential to spread.
