Customers admire the PM161W portable monitor for its portability and good image quality. They appreciate its connectivity options, lightweight design, wide viewing angles, and optimized screen size. However, some customers have expressed concerns about the lack of a protective cover, the button design, and the port placement being obstructed by the folding stand.

    This portable monitor has been very helpful for my work. Pros: 1. Very easy to connect 2. Good resolution 3. Lightweight and convenient to carry Cons: 1. The stand has a very limited range of angle adjustment 2. The monitor cannot be rotated for vertical (portrait) use, as the stand does not support it

    It's a very portable screen and not too big for a second screen on a desktop. I wish it was brighter and that the adjustments were better but for the price and the portability, it's pretty good.

    Fantastic as a mobile/lightweight monitor

    For what it is, it's fantastic. The main purpose, 1 cable display and power over USB-C is great. The refurbished models tend to have a kickstand type stand that the original Nintendo Switch had, while this one has a full size stand for a much stabler experience. (Model ending in W) It is for mobile/lightweight use, not for heavy or special loads that need specific refresh rates and color schemes. Though the color is good in my opinion.

    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.

    This came in handy for my travel for work. It shows great, connects easily, bc I could not do what I need with just my laptop monitor. Great purchase and coworkers loved it. It works with your phone to stream shows but it drains your phone battery. My purpose was for work and it did the job ;-)
