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

It comes with all the necessary cables and works well as a second monitor for a laptop, as it has the same screen size as most laptops. The image quality is very good and better than the monitor on my ThinkBook, and there are some nice brightness options provided by the side buttons. It's pretty easy to set up (just plug in the two cables, then press the little button). It also comes with a protective case that fits my laptop, making it a nice little freebie It's worth noting, however, that you may need to change your audio settings as it likes to change those when plugged in The stand seems very durable, and it's nice to have the option to change it to vertical display when I'm reading All things considered, the extra £10 this costs compared to other, similar products is definitely worth it, and I would encourage you to buy this if you are a laptop user and you regularly use your laptop to work or study

Really handy portable monitor, especially if you need a second screen on the go. Setup is straightforward – just plug it in and it works straight away. The screen quality is sharp and clear for everyday use like work, browsing and videos. It’s lightweight and slim so easy to carry around with a laptop. Build quality feels decent and the stand/case works well to prop it up. Brightness is good indoors, though in very bright light it can struggle a bit. Other than that, it does exactly what you’d want from a portable monitor. Great option if you need extra screen space without a bulky setup

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.

Ok. It’s not crazy bright, and the contrast ratio isn’t high end. For the money, it’s still insanely good. Bought this for multi-screen working on the go, since I travel a lot. It’s been exceptional; light enough to throw in my laptop bag and not really notice the weight difference. The image is generally very good, even though - at optimal brightness - it’s obviously not as punchy as my MacBook Pro, it’s still great for coding, life admin, and watching crap on YouTube. The built in kick stand is adjustable, and feels really sturdy. The controls are a bit fiddly at first, but like most screens, onboard controls you’ll play with once and probably never again. It comes with USB-C and HDMI cables, but I’ve found my MacBook Pro M1 is totally capable of running it just off the USB-C alone… but only the MSI USB-C cable, for whatever reason(?) It also comes with a soft neoprene pouch, which offers **some** protection, but would still exercise care when putting it in a bag with anything that could press into the screen, like a power adapter or anything that could press through the neoprene and do damage. If you’re looking for something to game with on-the-go, do graphic design, or video editing, maybe invest a bit more in something with a bit higher spec that will reproduce colours and contrast better. For anything else, this is genuinely all you need.

Absolutely excellent portable monitor. The screen quality is sharp and bright enough for a Full HD display. It’s very lightweight and slim, making it ideal for working on the go or extending a laptop setup at home. Setup was quick and straightforward, true plug-and-play. I’ve used it with multiple devices, and for both my MacBook Pro M4 Pro and MacBook Air M2, a single USB-C cable is enough to power the monitor and get the display working. The build quality and design feels soli. Overall highly recommended.

Really like this. Image quality is great considering there will always be a trade of with packability and cost. Good screen size while still fitting in my laptop bag. This gives me a portable dual screen everywhere I go which is just a necessity at times for productivity. Brightness and audio are adjustable so it isn't just an extension, it's a complete addition to your kit out I have also discovered that I can connect it via HDMI to my camera. Meaning that when I set up for videos I can have a full screen display of what my video would look like to watch back. It really helps with framing and movements

The MSI PRO MP161 E2 is a surprisingly capable portable monitor for the price. The 15.6-inch Full HD IPS panel delivers sharp text and good colour for everyday work, and the ultra‑slim 5.5 mm design makes it easy to carry around without adding weight. Setup is effortless thanks to USB‑C and Mini‑HDMI, and it works instantly with laptops, consoles, and phones that support video output. The build feels solid, and the included stand cover does the job, though it takes a moment to position. The speakers are basic, but fine for calls or quick videos. Pros Lightweight and ultra‑slim (easy to travel with) 1080p IPS display looks crisp and clear USB‑C single‑cable support on compatible devices Works with laptops, consoles, and mobile devices Excellent value for the price Cons Speakers are average Stand cover could be sturdier Not ideal for colour‑critical work Verdict If you need a simple, portable second screen for productivity, travel, or console gaming, the MSI PRO MP161 E2 is a fantastic choice—especially at its current price point. It’s reliable, lightweight, and delivers exactly what a portable monitor should.

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.

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

Works great !

Simply the best monitor I've bought so far.

Producto original y de buena calidad. Funciona bien como segunda pantalla o para duplicar pantalla de teléfono móvil. Lo peor son los altavoces, para mí no es importante por el tipo de uso que le voy a dar, pero son peores que los de algunos móviles.

I had this portable monitor 3 days, put it in my laptop bag and the screen got pinched in it's cover. The screen was beside a flat surface so I think it was pressure when something pressed against it. I contacted MSI and asked would warrant cover it they said no and due to the cost there was no point in refurbing it. I do not recommend this
