Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Acer portable monitor has a surprisingly crisp display, and is ultra portable. This is the first portable monitor, but have always wanted one due to how much I travel for work. The size is perfect, because it’s big enough to match my laptop, but slim enough to still fit into my laptop bag. When I first unboxed this monitor, I was surprised to see a standard plug-in monitor cable. However, after playing around a bit, I realized that I could also power the monitor and send video with a single USB-C cable from my laptop,. Technically, you could also power this with a portable battery, but USB-C really is the way to go. My biggest gripe is that this comes with no protective sleeve. I really expected this would have a light piece of fabric to enclose it in, keeping the screen free from scratches while traveling, but it doesn’t. The placement of the ports in relation to the stand could be a little better too, but the stand is actually pretty clever The stand has 2 positions where It can sit flush against the monitor, with the top position likely being for mounting it flush against the wall. The colors on the display are actually way better than I expected. It’s a flat IPS display, which is perfect for traveling. I often spend hours in the airport lounges, which are always well lit, and I struggle with glare issues on my laptop because of the glossy finish. The monitor is also remarkably lightweight… so lightweight I almost feel like I’m going to break it. My son thought this was my tablet, and I heard him running through the house, giggling, because he thought he had snatched my tablet and was going to sneak some games. I tried to explain to him that it was a monitor when he brought it back, but he kept saying it didn’t weigh enough to be a monitor. Overall, it’s a killer monitor if you are on a budget. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for when traveling, I just wish it had a protective sleeve!

I really like this portable monitor. The screen is sharp and clear, with great color for an IPS panel. It’s lightweight and slim, which makes it easy to carry in a backpack for travel or working on the go. Setup is simple — just plug in via USB-C or HDMI and it works right away. The stand is sturdy enough for everyday use, and having multiple connection options (USB-C, HDMI, and audio out) makes it very versatile. It pairs perfectly with a laptop for dual-screen productivity or even with a game console for portable entertainment. Overall, a solid choice if you need an extra display that’s easy to use anywhere.

This is a decent option for a secondary monitor. I will say the connection however is finicky and you have to mess with it a couple times. Furthermore, I don't find the display consistent - sometimes it is clear other times it is not. But listen for a secondary display that is most likely going to be used for travel it's lightweight, the stand is durable not flimsy and the screen is optimized size wise.

The Acer 16" FreeSync compatible IPS portable monitor is pretty cool. Right out of the box I notice how light weight it is, thin and slimline it is, the matte finished screen and the little kickstand on the back. I do however wish that the screen was mountable to my existing laptop screen, that the kickstand had multiple angle settings and that a cover or sleeve was included. Those are my only gripes and why I removed one star. All in all, it's a nifty screen and gets the job done. I used the usb-c connection for quick use on my laptop. If your connecting to a device with hdmi or limited power in the usb-c, you will need to power the screen with a usb-c cable and good sized power supply. Just something to think about, depending on how you plan to use the monitor. I will definitely be using it for travel purposes since I normally run three monitors. Having the second monitor on the go will make life so much easier. Im curious now if I could buy another one and have my three screens on the go...

Monitor is portable, easy to carry, fits in your backpack with your laptop. Needed an extra monitor for work that is light weight and easy to set up. One C type connector will power and extend your desktop to the display for extra screen convenience. Has a handy kick stand. Worked well for me and I bought two screens for the extra screen space while working at a conference in my hotel room. I would recommend also buying a carry case or sleeve to protect it while traveling.

I’ve been using the Acer PM161W as a second screen for travel and remote work, and it’s been a game-changer. The 16" WUXGA display is sharp and gives me extra vertical space, which is great for documents and multitasking. It’s lightweight, easy to set up with USB-C. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a portable, reliable monitor on the go.

I never write reviews, but this monitor is worthy! I have been using the monitory for about a month. It is so easy to transport and the quality is great! My husband has even decided he wants one instead of the bulky folding system he currently uses on the go.

Good clarity and picture. Lite weight and very user friendly. Plugged right in and started working great.

Good quality, can flip stand all the way back to use with an external stand to use vertically. Lightweight.

This portable monitor is great. Very lightweight. I really like the longer USB-C cord than my prior monitor. The resolution is good, and the side buttons are easily accessible. I also really like the folding stand. I would highly recommend this portable monitor. Great deal!

Had been looking into an external monitor for my laptop for quite sometime and had a good feeling about this one. Sturdy and beautiful build, lightweight, easy to set up and navigate. Also very excited to use this in the studio with my DVD player and Switch. So happy with this purchase.

This screen is very light and great quality for using as a second monitor with a laptop.

The price for what you get with this product is beyond anything other competition. Its lacking touch functions but makes up for it with material and ease of use. This secoond display is as easy to use as pluggjng it in and getting to work.

Great purchase, the monitor is clear and small enough to fit on my already cluttered desk. Wonderful value for the price as well!

Very great for small spaces. It has great resolution and screen size is sufficient.

Easy to use , I wish it has a cover or a carrying case. If I would probably of read some other discriptions I would of chosen one with a case.

Great display. Plugged right into my MacBook Air and came on. Powered via the USB-C port so no power cables. Resolution was great for what I want it to do. The price was reasonable. Great purchase.

This monitor was a life saver!!! I work 100% from home and travelled to see my grandsons but had to work while there. This monitor allowed me to seamlessly work while travelling! So worth the cost and so very happy I bought it.

Fantastic portable LED monitor. Works perfectly to extend the screen realestate of my laptop. And the image is beautiful.

This is a perfect item for not only home use but for travel. Compact, easy to hook up, recognize right away
