MSI PRO MP161 Series Portable Monitor Review

MSI already make many of my favourite gaming and office monitors, but today, we’re taking look at something just a little bit different. The MSI PRO MP161 Series Portable Monitor is designed to be pretty versatile, allowing you to add a secondary or rapidly deployable mobile screen with ease. You can hook up your phone, console, laptop, PC and so much more to this thing, so it’s handy at home, in the office, in presentations, in retail environments, and much beyond.

MSI Modern MD272QP

It’s quite compact at 15.6″, but given it’s designed to be highly portable, that’s hardly a surprise. It should fit in a fairly standard laptop bag or slipcover and is small enough to carry in one hand or under your arm. However, it does pack an IPS panel with a 1920 x 1080 FHD resolution, which can output 60 Hz with Adaptive Sync Support. It’s a 4ms panel, so eSports on the go? Not really, but for watching media, showing documents, browsing the web and casual gaming? It’s more than enough to get the job done. Plus, it has some sweet ergonomics and connectivity tricks, but we’ll get to all that in a moment.
