In meetings, in the classroom and anywhere in between, Acer’s PM Series portable monitor is the go-to choice for people on the move! Just fire it up and enjoy High-Definition entertainment—anywhere! Its accurate, vivid colors come to life from any viewing angle on the 15.6” IPS display that features Full HD (1920x1080) resolution. Its slim design (0.4") and ultra-light weight (2.45 lbs.) allows it to easily fit in your laptop bag! Perfect for use as a secondary monitor for dual-monitor presentations, it’s powered by a single USB Type C cable, giving you the freedom to connect it to your laptop, smartphone or tablet—quickly and easily! Through AMD FreeSync technology, the game’s frame rate is determined by your graphics card, not the fixed refresh rate of the monitor, giving you a serious competitive edge.

Q: QuestionCan a laptop alone power the monitor using the USB-C ports?(1 answer)
A: AnswerYes, a laptop can power the Acer PM161Q monitor if the laptop supports USB 3.1 video output. The PM161Q monitor is only compatible with devices that support USB 3.1 video output. When connected to a USB-C port that supports video output, the monitor should automatically detect and display the image from the connected device. If your monitor is not displaying a signal, please ensure it is connected to a device that supports video output via USB-C. These ports are often labeled with icons such as DisplayPort or Thunderbolt.Answered by TeamAcer
Q: QuestionIs the monitor compatible with PlayStation 5(1 answer)
A: AnswerAcer has not tested this device with a gaming console. Theoretically it should work but you will need to use an adapter for the mini HDMI port.

Q: QuestionDoes this monitor require a stand? Thank you.(1 answer)
A: AnswerNo, if you look at the pictures on the Best Buy product page you will see it comes with a protective sleeve that doubles as a kick stand.Answered by TeamAcer
Q: QuestionDoes this monitor have standard mounting holes in back for attachment to an arm/racket?(1 answer)
A: AnswerThe Acer PM161Q monitor is designed to be compatible only with devices that support USB 3.1 video output. It does not have VESA mounting capabilities as it is primarily a portable monitor designed for connectivity via USB-C. This means it lacks the standard screw holes for VESA mounts that are typically found on more traditional, stationary monitors.Answered by TeamAcer

Good monitor for the price
Overall I like this monitor. I purchased it as a secondary monitor when I travel and it hasn't disappointed. I am not playing games, but rather watching movies and doing spreadsheets / web surfing. The speaker is not very loud, but it nice that it has one. I have not noticed any lag. The only thing that took me a few minutes to figure out is the cover. I understand why they did it this way, but it will take some getting used to. I would purchase again!
