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 freebieIt's worth noting, however, that you may need to change your audio settings as it likes to change those when plugged inThe stand seems very durable, and it's nice to have the option to change it to vertical display when I'm readingAll 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 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 outI 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

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.

The speakers are basic, but fine for calls or quick videos.ProsLightweight and ultra‑slim (easy to travel with)1080p IPS display looks crisp and clearUSB‑C single‑cable support on compatible devicesWorks with laptops, consoles, and mobile devicesExcellent value for the priceConsSpeakers are averageStand cover could be sturdierNot ideal for colour‑critical workVerdictIf 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.

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.

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

Really good little monitor. The panel is basic as you'd expect for the price and viewing isn't great in direct sunlight - bright rooms or outside in shade are fine.Passthrough charging is excellent, though it doesn't necessarily pass through the full wattage of the charger so the laptop charging speed can be a bit slower. My work laptop only has one USBC port so even slow charging while using that port is a positive.The stand is great, easy to flip to portrait if that's your thing (though you'll need to manually tell your device to use the screen in portrait through display settings), and although I haven't used it the screw mount built in is a nice touch. You will have cables coming off the top of the screen if you use it portrait.The supplied cables and slip cover are good quality, with the cables all 90 degree to point backwards and keep things tidy when plugged in to the monitor. Be aware the cover is only neoprene so it's good for scratch protection but not against cracks - we have had a monitor killed when we were careless and it got cracked in transit. I replaced with the same model, then found the screen panel online for around £30 so I repaired the original unit.The only downsides really are the bezel size and the speakers. They could have omitted the speakers and ended up with a significantly smaller bezel. The speakers are worse than a phone or laptop speaker, both in quality and volume - just don't bother with them!

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.

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
