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 must admit, I bought this half expecting that I would send it back. No way. I am genuinely amazed at the quality of this little monitor. Bought the 15" version. It is SO light. Really well made stand on the back - feels really solid and not at all flimsy. Excellent that it can rotate to allow the monitor to stand vertically - great for coding or reading long documents. The display is perfect for general needs. For remote working its perfect. I am happy to use it for photography and lightroom while I am away travelling or on the road. (obviously, its not going to have the same colour rendition as a large professional monitor). I'm really really happy with this monitor. I still can't believe that we can make monitors now that are this small and light and have such decent image quality. Amazing.

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.

I really liked this screen. Super useful but not without its issues. 1st the +vs, screen is good, decent brightness and colours. The kickstand is great feature. Supplied case also great, although would be better if it had separating pockets for cables. Connections are good (2x usb C and 1 mini hdmi comes with adapter) The problem I've had is arriving on site and not having a suitable adapter for like DPport to mini hdmi etc. I know it's just a case of buying suitable adapters but feel like it would have been easier if it was a normal hdmi port. Other than that, this product is great especially if you get it for a discounted price around £80.

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.

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

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.

Screen works well, the speaker is trash though. Weaker than even a laptop one. Don't know why they bothered including one
