High perceptual brightness and deep black hues, enabled by a 100,000:1 contrast ratio, contribute to exceptional image quality. DisplayHDR™ True Black 400 certification ensures crisp details, even in dark scenes.
Versatile Functionality and Enhanced Control
The MQ149CD offers several display modes to adapt to various scenarios. Extend mode facilitates multitasking, while Split mode allows for a single, continuous view ideal for coding or reading. Independent mode allows each screen to display content from different sources, and Mirror mode duplicates content across both screens for easy sharing.
ASUS DisplayWidget Center software allows for easy adjustment of monitor settings, including brightness, contrast, color temperature, and multiscreen configuration. The auto-rotation function automatically switches content between landscape and portrait modes.
Effortless Connectivity and Ergonomic Design
The MQ149CD requires only a single USB-C® connection to duplicate or extend a compatible laptop display across both screens. This USB-C port handles both power and video signal transmission. In addition to two USB-C ports, a Mini HDMI port ensures broad compatibility with various devices.
