Asus ZenScreen 21.5" Monitor Full HD- LCD IPS 1 ms MB229CF

Exceptional clarity in a compact footprint

The ZenScreen MB229CF monitor pairs a 54.6 cm (21.5") IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 resolution to deliver exceptionally sharp detail in a modest desktop space. Bright highlights are supported by a peak brightness of 400 cd/m² and DisplayHDR 400 certification, so images and documents gain added contrast where it matters. Colour depth is specified as less than 17 million colours (less than 8 bit), which balances vivid detail with precise text rendering for office work and multimedia.

Fast, fluid visuals for motion and multitasking

A 1 ms response time reduces motion blur in fast-moving content while a wide horizontal viewing angle of 178° keeps images consistent from off-centre positions. The static and dynamic contrast ratios are 1,000:1, enabling defined darks and lights for general-purpose editing and video playback. These technical choices were made to support smooth playback and responsive cursor movement without overspecifying features that are unnecessary for everyday productivity.

Ergonomic positioning that adapts to the workspace

Height adjustment and a tilt range from +20° to −5° are built in to enable an ergonomic setup on variable desks. The monitor is supplied in a slim, black LED housing that occupies a compact footprint, with overall dimensions of 487 mm wide, 301 mm deep and 722 mm high and a weight of 4,000 g. This physical design supports comfortable long sessions and simple integration into existing workstation arrangements.

Practical ports and controlled power draw

Connectivity includes USB Type‑C with DisplayPort Alternate Mode and USB Power Delivery, a downstream USB Type‑C, HDMI 1.4, a headphone output, HDCP 1.4 and a DC‑in jack, allowing single-cable workflows and straightforward multimedia connections. Power consumption is rated at 26 W with a supply voltage of 100 V, and the appliance carries an energy rating of F on the A–G scale, stated here for transparent technical comparison.

Who benefits from this monitor

This monitor suits compact workspaces that require high resolution without a large screen, such as home offices or shared desks where space is at a premium. The balance of 4K detail, responsive motion handling and ergonomic adjustment makes it appropriate for general content creation, office productivity and multimedia consumption. Reliability is supported by the ASUS product lineage, combining practical performance with a space-conscious design.
