MSI PRO MP161 E2 15.6 Inch Full HD Portable Monitor - 1920 x 1080 IPS Panel, 60Hz, Eye-Friendly Screen (PC, Laptop, Mobile), Speakers, Enhanced Chassis & Kickstand - Mini-HDMI 2.0b, 2 x USB Type-C

(£78.95 Dec 2024) Incredibly light, good stand on the back, good connectivity and good enough sound for this form factor. Multi-inputs are brilliant. 2x Usb-c, 1x mini-hdmi, you get a right angled Usb-C with it. It works as a second screen for my laptop and one cable for power and sound/video is awesome - obviously, your laptop MUST have the support for this, not all laptops do. It's also connected via the mini-Hdmi to my desktop, so you can have a second screen option without having to swap cables around or use a switch. The carry case is lovely. You might need to get some extra Usb C cables, definitely worth going for good quality ones. A mini Hdmi adapter is a better shout than a Usb C to mini Hdmi cable, you are for more likely to have a spare Hdmi cable, than a Usb C to mini Hdmi cable lying around, just in case you lose or forget the cable or if the cable fails. Also, U-shaped adapters are the best choice, you can safely route them from the back and that is far better than having 2 or 3 unsightly cables trailing from the side of the screen where they will constantly figure in your peripheral vision. If you need one and can get it for less, just get it. There are lots of cheaper options from stupidly named companies to choose from, don't bother - get one from a trusted brand that has been in the game for a very, very long time. MSI are one of my goto choices for pc hardware, along with Gigabyte, you know what comes out of the box is more likely to last for a long time at a high standard. Being portable, you can take it on your travels with you and you won't notice the weight. Great piece of kit.

Was a bargain at £59.99, finding a great little boost as a second screen for team messaging apps, terminal windows etc. The fact it's incredibly light, portable and comes with a handy sleeve for travel is a lovely bonus

The MSI PRO MP161 E2 15.6 Inch Full HD Portable Monitor has been great for working on the go. It’s surprisingly light and compact, making it easy to slip into most backpacks without adding much bulk — perfect for students, remote workers, or anyone who needs a second screen on the move. The Full HD IPS panel delivers sharp and clear visuals, and the 60Hz refresh rate is smooth enough for general productivity. Setup is straightforward — plug and play, no complicated installation required. The only minor drawback is that it’s not a colour touch display, but for the price and portability, it’s an excellent compromise. For anyone needing a lightweight, reliable secondary monitor, this offers fantastic value for money. Solid build, convenient size, and reliable performance.

I bought one of these for my partner to use for work as an additional screen. It’s very light and amazing quality gives out a really nice sound quality great performance even better than a normal laptop screen. You do not need any extra cables just one USB C to C to connect a monitor to a laptop or a computer.

Great Screen. I payed a bit extra for an MSI one and it didn't disappoint. Light and easy to set up. Ideal for use with Laptops or as a start screen for desktops. How anyone manages on one screen I will never know.

I am so impressed with this portable monitor that I am still collecting my jaw since I started using it :) But seriously it is fantastic and when on offer it is really worth buying this one over some unbranded alternatives. The most impressive feature I like is that you can use it simply from a usb-c connection. Just plug and play a single cable and voilla. Of course if needed you can always use the HDMI that is provided if the device that you are using does not have usb-c connectivity. I use it on a daily basis and it is a blessing. I also tried it with the Steam Deck as an external screen and the experience is great. I also like that you get 1080p in such a small form factor. The kickstand is pretty adjustable. One thing I would like to see is a dedicated mount that could be purchased as an accessory but you can find plenty of those that allow you to do this online. This is a true portable monitor that is only as thick as a tablet. Love it. If you register it with MSI you get 24 months warranty by a reputable manufacturer. One more thing worth mentioning is the spongy travel pouch that you get with the monitor. If you're thinking of buying one don't hesitate. Just get it you won't regret it.

Useful when you need a portable or a temporary 1080HD monitor. The box contains a protective neoprene sleeve, a long USB-C to USB-C lead, and a long micro-HDMI plug to HDMI plug lead. The stand arm can be rotated for landscape or portrait, and set to various angles, for a suitable viewing. It has a threaded camera hole on the back, so could be mounted on a camera tripod, or other camera mountings, for when no suitable resting surface is available. It powered fine via my 2M long USB-A 3 to USB-C cable to a computer USB-A sockets, probably at 5V. So far, I've used mine to will doing a new NAS build, then to temporarily transplant around an annoying no-power-up of, the again not POSTing, aged workstation motherboard in my old NAS build, to replicate all the ZFS datasets to the new one.

Just been switching from a laptop with two external monitors to a desktop with two monitors. Just couldn't manage with only two screens. So, been searching for a small external monitor to sit in front of my (external) keyboard and act as primary screen (the others are LARGE). Tried a few, and first was too small (my bad). The second worked on my laptop, but evidently the USB C port on my desktop PC wasn't compatible - so no video output. I tried this one as it came with HDMI support (as well at USB C). Perfect. Lovely display, and a great screen for £60! Highly recommended as an additional monitor. Even came with all cables needed.

It is perfect for me .

Definitely worth buying very light colors are also good you can change the brightness from buttons speackee is acceptable very helpfull very easy to change the stand position

Perfecto para tener una segunda pantalla y distribuir tus herramientas de edición o ver el resultado de lo que vas editando. No necesita pie ya que lo tiene y sirve en las dos posiciones, horizontal y vertical. Super útil la rosca que trae detrás para que lo puedas montar por ejemplo en un magic arm y en un trípode y así usarlo como segundo monitor conectado a tu monitor de campo en tus rodajes. La calidad no se ve muy buena, es todo plástico, no es aluminio. Pero por el precio no se puede pedir más.

Simply the best monitor I've bought so far.

Super compact and portable! The cables aren’t super long for a setup, but they’re fine if you keep it close to your PC or laptop. I got two types of cables: one’s USB-C, and the other’s Mini HDMI. Make sure you have the ports to connect it.
