Bought for a second screen for a MacBook Pro. Just plug it in to the USB C port, and it just works. Nice, bright and crisp. The monitor itself is lightweight and easy to store

I needed an additional screen to use with my work laptop when I need to work from home or need a quick set up anywhere else away from the office. This works perfect! It's light and compact and connects seemlessly with my laptop. For reference, I have used the unit with a Surface Pro and an HP laptop.

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...

This is a great little screen. It is nothign mind blowing but if you need a small second monitor or a small monitor for travel, this is perfect. The ports are on the (if you are looking at the screen) on your left near the bottom. So my ONE complaint is that if you use the kickstand and are watching it at like 100 degree angle the cables can hit the desk and will keep that side of the monittor lifted a bit.

Exactly what I needed for my mobile office when on the road. I really like that this is powered through a standard usb c and I don’t need to struggle to find an external power source. Quality is great and it’s super light and easy to throw in my bag when I travel for work. Makes life so much easier when you have another screen to pop things up onto to work.

I would highly recommend this product. It’s thin and light weight so it’s easy to travel with. I also love that it comes with a built in stand. The color and brightness of the screen is great. It also comes with all the connecting cords needed for your laptop.

This is an excellent work portable monitor. Works perfectly with Mac laptop and is very durable. I’ve been using this for about 4 months at work and I just dump it in my backpack at the end of the day. As of today, it has zero scratches and cracks; hence, the durability comment. Only downside is that it uses a lot of power from my laptop. By lunch time my laptop is at 50%, which forces me to charge my laptop while I am out to lunch. This is a perfect product if you are a manager/supervisor/assistant principal that is very mobile and used to working from a portable desk.

Great product. Potable great image. We bought this for my daughter to connect to her laptop.

Appreciate that the monitor stand folds in so that it's flat - great when commuting. It's also lightweight. Comes with a mini HDMI to HDMI cable. Only thing to note is that it does not come with a charging cable.

I've been using the Acer PM161W 16.0" WUXGA FreeSync portable monitor for a while now and I'm genuinely impressed. The display quality is sharp and clear with vibrant colors that make it great for both work and entertainment. The WUXGA resolution delivers crisp visuals and the 60Hz FreeSync makes everything smooth with no screen tearing. Setup was incredibly simple — just plug and play with no drivers needed. The slim and lightweight design makes it very easy to carry around which is perfect for someone who works on the go. The IPS panel provides wide viewing angles so colors remain accurate even when viewing from the side. Connectivity is straightforward with USB-C which keeps the cable clutter minimal. Build quality feels solid for a portable monitor at this price point. I use it as a second screen alongside my laptop and it has genuinely boosted my productivity. Overall a fantastic portable monitor that delivers great performance without breaking the bank. Highly recommend it to students and professionals who need a reliable portable display!

Definitely portable,slim,good picture,good with galaxy S phones.

Great portable display that weights very little and only requires usb c connection

Exactly what I was needing. This monitor provides a nice size third screen to my laptop and ultrawide while sitting at my desk. In addition, it’s the perfect separate monitor when running meetings in the conference rooms allowing me to dedicate it as my shared screen for Teams meetings without having to worry about revealing emails, messages or confidential information that may be exposed on my laptop screen. The convenience of it being powered solely through a single USBC cable makes it even better. My only complaint is the USB ports are located on the left side only…the same as my laptop. So the cable must be routed behind one of the devices rendering the included cable too short when using it on the opposite side of my ultrawide as my laptop. A port on each side would make it much better. An included case would make it perfect. If you do purchase a longer cable, make sure it’s capable of video and not just data transfer.

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.

This has been such a life saver, great portable monitor that uses different ports to fit your needs. Great quality and brightness

Great picture, and so easy to use and setup. I bring it everywhere.

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.

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.

Lovely monitor that is quite easy to set up. It came with usb c cord and mini hdmi and I just had to put the usb c into my computer and it quickly extended my screen. Color stays pretty true to my laptop screen, and I like that it’s a matte finish and not super glossy. It has its own speakers which are pretty decent too imo. Would definitely buy again and may purchase a second to have 3 screens without needing a full monitor.

I love this portable monitor! The screen is large and great quality. There is no lag between laptop and monitor. I am glad I purchased this. My only complaint is that it did not come with a sleeve to put it in.
