Portable FHD IPS monitor for mobile work

The MSI Pro MP161 E2U is a 15.6 inch Full HD IPS panel built for professionals who need a second screen while travelling. It connects through two USB-C ports with DisplayPort Alternate Mode and one Mini HDMI, letting you link laptops, smartphones or cameras without extra adapters. The 16.7 million colour panel covers a 16:9 aspect ratio at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

60 Hz refresh with 4 ms response for everyday tasks

At 60 Hz and 4 ms response the display handles office applications, video playback and casual browsing smoothly. Brightness peaks at 250 cd/m2 with an 800:1 contrast ratio, which is adequate for indoor lighting but limits outdoor visibility. The 170 degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles keep colours consistent when sharing the screen, though the panel is not suited for fast-paced gaming or colour-critical grading.

Low 8 W draw and silent operation

Power consumption measures 8 W during use and drops to 0 W in standby, so a single USB-C port can often supply both signal and power. Built-in dual 1.5 W speakers provide basic audio without external hardware. The unit weighs 1.65 lbs with its stand and measures 0.43 inch thick without it, while the metal-gray chassis and included protection bag help it survive frequent transport.

Questions about this item

Will the 15.6" IPS panel connect to my older laptop that only has full-size HDMI and USB-A?

You need a Mini HDMI to HDMI cable or adapter for the Mini HDMI port, and a USB-C to USB-A adapter if you want to use a USB-C port for video; the box only includes a USB-C to USB-C cable.

How can I confirm the 250 cd/m² panel and 60 Hz refresh rate are active after plugging it in?

Open your OS display settings and verify the resolution shows 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz; the on-screen menu also reports the current brightness level.

What cables and accessories come in the package, and what must I buy separately for Mini HDMI or power?

The box contains a USB-C to USB-C cable only; you must supply a Mini HDMI to HDMI cable for that port and a USB-C power adapter if your source cannot deliver enough power over USB-C.
