Q: Can this monitor come with its own adapter to power it from a regular wall plug, or does it require a usb-c port on my desktop?

A: I purchased this exact model but the one that came (version C) did not include an adapter. However, if you have a usb-c output from your source (e.g. a laptop) you don't need power. And if not you can still use any old phone adapter to use the usb-A to usb-C cable that comes with it.

Q: can it be used as a main monitor from a mac mini m4, if travel and bring my mac mini m4 and the portabe monitor can the usb c calbe from the monitor turn on by only connecting to the mac mini m4?

A: You can use the PM161Q portable monitor with a Mac Mini M4 by connecting a USB-C cable from the monitor to a compatible USB-C port on the Mac Mini. The monitor should turn on and display an image automatically because it receives power and video signal through that single USB-C cable, provided your Mac Mini's port supports video output.

    Great monitor for the price.

    The refurbished monitor is in perfect condition and works great. I love that it doesn't need a separate power supply. It's well worth the price, IMO. My only critique is that that built-in display stand doesn't place the monitor at a great vertical angle; it's "reclined too much. I overcome the issue by placing something under the back of the stand to put the monitor in a more upright position.

    Honestly, this product surprised me in the best way. The quality is solid, it works exactly as described, and you can tell some thought went into the design. I’ve been using it consistently and it hasn’t disappointed once. Definitely worth the money — I’d buy it again
