About this deal

The MB16ACE's crimped color-gamut coverage translated, in our photo and video testing, to slightly dull colors, particularly reds and purples. Overall, this issue shouldn't affect the MB16ACE's use as a business monitor, and it's okay for light entertainment use. But it's not a good choice for videophiles or photo editors, who would do better with the Lenovo ThinkVision M14 despite its smaller screen. Normally the USB 3 Type C port on your computer needs to support Video (DisplayPort) or it will not work. The magnetic folio case (which covers the screen and a portion of the rear when closed) doubles as a stand that can be angled at either 105° or 120°. This monitor can also be propped either horizontally or vertically, although you’ll need to install the LG OnScreen Control app to access vertical orientation mode. The panel itself is an older TFT IPS number but it’s pretty good, delivering decent colours and colour accuracy when tested. It’s bright enough for most use cases but might struggle with direct sunlight. On the whole, though, using the PM161Q was a perfectly pleasant experience, and given the mid-range price tag and the feature set, it’s hard to ignore.

Like many portable monitors, the Acer PM161Q isn’t much to look at, but this one happens to deliver where it counts. It connects to your devices via USB-C and has a micro-USB port for additional power delivery if you’re connecting to an older phone. Both cables are included in the box alongside a USB-A power adapter.

That said, install the DisplayLink Driver and you can connect to EITHER USB 3 Type A, or USB 3 Type C (with or without DPort capability) ..as long as DisplayLink driver is installed. Resolution: Ideally, you want a portable monitor with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 or above. This is the standard for most modern portable monitors. Brightness: One of the few things you’ll be able to tweak on a portable monitor, brightness is measured in candela per metres squared (cd/m²) or nits, so keep an eye out for those. If you’re on the go a lot you’ll want something that can exceed 300 nits to counteract sitting in direct sunlight. The MB16ACE's single video-input port is located on its left side, near the bottom. It's a USB Type-C port supporting DisplayPort over USB; it can receive data, video, and power from the computer you are using it with. In the box with the ZenScreen is a USB Type-C cable, as well as a USB-C-to-USB-A adapter. (You can run the monitor from a computer's USB 3.0 port, but you will have to install a DisplayLink driver for full compatibility.) Taking a Menu Drivethrough I've gotten completely dependent on having a 35" monitor and my 13" laptop monitor as real estate when working. I often have three windows viewing between them. I'm much less efficient when I'm on the road and just using that 13" monitor. So I'm really excited to bring this monitor on my next trip.

Key specs – Screen size: 17in; Resolution: 2,560 x 1,600; Screen technology: IPS; Video inputs: USB-C; Refresh rate: 60Hz; Weight (with case): 990g Ports: Most modern portable monitors use USB-C for power and video transmission, so if your laptop, PC, smartphone or tablet relies on other forms of connector, you’ll have to take that into account. If not USB-C, the monitor may have microUSB or even mini-HDMI ports for video and power transmission. The dilemma i always had with the previous version MB169B+ was finding a laptop with 2 x USB 3.0 ports. not as easy as you think. But they always have at least one, and now one x USB Type C.It has a 15.6in, 60Hz 1080p IPS panel with good viewing angles and an anti-glare, matte finish to keep reflections at bay. And although it doesn’t come with a fully protective folio case, the supplied folding stand can be attached to the front to protect the screen while it’s stowed away. Refresh rate: This is unimportant for portable monitors (as you won’t be gaming on them) but you should expect a refresh rate of 60Hz.
