MSI Pro MP161 E2 15.6” FHD 60Hz Portable Monitor

I saw the product in a MSI YouTube stream from MSI. I was interested in trying it out and it is better than expected! I like that you can install it on a tripod. I use it as a portable monitor and it worked with my Mac book pro (plug and play) no driver needed. I use it for meetings were I need one screen to see Teams call while I present or share on the main screen

Bang for buck

Purchase to use with dex and laptop. matches well with msi laptops. Great ratio of 16:10. Given its fhd and at 60hz, nice to watch social media such as tiktok or youtube. Not really design for movies and games but manages okay. Wish it could be brighter. Great for office productivity and super lightweight given the size.

Functional and as described!

The colour accuracy, speakers and brightness is mediocre. Unless you wish to use this in brightly lit environments or places where battery life is important, this is a functional monitor that gives you another Full HD display. I think the inclusion of mini-HDMI in addition to USB-C and additional port for power delivery is great for portability and I like that it has a 1/4" mount. It's very convenient, but if you want great colour accuracy or anything more than just extra real estate this monitor will leave you underwhelmed.

Happy customer

I recently purchased an MSI portable monitor and I'm thoroughly impressed with the product. The monitor was delivered the next day, which was incredibly convenient. The display quality is crisp and vibrant, making it a great addition to my mobile workstation. Highly recommended.

Light but not worth the money

The screen is light and very easy to carry around and the display is good, however, the connection cords between the screen and the computer are not the best.You end up with many cords around and the connection is so fragile that it can be lost if you move the screen. Also, there is a high risk of damaging the outlet for the cords on the screen because of this issue.

Review of MSI PRO MP161 E2 Full HD 15.6 IPS LED Portable Monitor - Black

A great little monitor which is lightweight and easy to carry around if hot-desking at different spaces. Tough neoprene cover supplied to protect it which is great. Feels a little too plastic though and instructions on altering colour balance, brightness etc. should be a lot easier to understand. Price slightly on the high side but otherwise very glad I bought it.

Worst laptop I’ve ever had

I kept faith as I stupidly threw out the box. Takes an age to do anything. Keeps saying WiFi unavailable. Knocks itself off saying ran into an unexpected error. Needs to update every 10 mins. Mouse disappears and the screen goes black. Reverts back to original settings constantly. Hate it. I bought it as an additional laptop, working along side an HP. HP works fine so isn’t environmental. Just a crappy cheap laptop.

great screen, horrible audio

This is a nice screen that has a good quality image. I love that it comes with a neoprene sleeve and it has a built in stand that rotates to allow you to position it vertically or horizontally. The only thing I do not like is that the audio is not great! It is very quiet and cheap sounding. Thankfully, the audio can be routed through my laptop speakers.
