About this product
The MSI Pro MP161 E2U is a 15.6-inch portable monitor with a Full HD 1080p IPS display, 60Hz refresh rate, and 4ms response time. It offers USB Type-C and Mini-HDMI connectivity, making it convenient for on-the-go use. With 250 cd/m2 brightness and a 600:1 contrast ratio, it provides adequate image quality for basic productivity tasks. Priced at $71.49, it's an affordable option for extending your screen space while traveling.
Our take
I picked up the MSI Pro MP161 E2U for when I need a second screen on the road. At 15.6 inches and 1080p, it's fine for email and spreadsheets, though the 250-nit brightness means it struggles in direct light. The USB-C connection is a plus—one cable for power and video—but the 60Hz refresh rate and 4ms response time aren't built for gaming. Build quality feels a bit plasticky, but for $71.49, it's a decent travel companion. Just don't expect vivid colors or smooth motion.
