Our take
The MSI Optix MAG161V is a solid portable monitor for casual gaming on the go. The 1080p display is sharp enough, and USB-C connectivity makes it easy to plug and play with my laptop. However, the 60Hz refresh rate is a bit of a letdown for competitive gaming—I'd prefer 120Hz+. It's also a bit pricey at $177.46 compared to non-gaming portables. But if you need a compact screen for console or PC gaming while traveling, it fits the bill.
