Now the question is, what is the best method to use this monitor??. Obviously, one way you can try is by holding it like a tablet. However, without a touch screen function, using it like a tablet might be a little difficult for you.

Quite good to display multimedia content
After trying the features on this MB168B+ monitor, we moved on to try the capabilities of the monitor displaying the video content through the USB 3.0 interface connection. Based on our testing, non-Full HD video can be displayed properly on the monitor. For Full HD video, from some of the files that we tried, we noticed a little lag. However, by considering if this monitor is intended mainly for office applications, this monitor's ability to run multimedia content through the USB 3.0 interface are quite good.
