I have this one. Perfect portable monitor. I use it plugged into my phone and works very well. It will power the monitor from your phone, but at a reduced brightness. Power the monitor from the wall and you get full power plus charging your plugged in device. I WOULD suggest getting it from the Acer official ebay store. SAME unit, with a 2yr Allstate warranty.

If you have to lug a screen and a keyboard, why not just use a laptop?

Community Reviews

This Acer PM161Q portable monitor stands out as a lightweight second screen for travel, desk expansion, and phone based setups. It pairs well with a Pixel 9 or Raspberry Pi, can be powered from a phone at reduced brightness, and gets full power plus device charging from wall power. The integrated kickstand and VESA mount make it flexible for permanent use, and the screen is described as bright enough with little IPS bleed. The main knocks are its 1080p LCD panel, modest brightness, and fragile feel, so it fits small portable tasks better than demanding display use.

Don't really find the extra monitor like this too useful with a laptop.

Can you use this monitor in portrait mode? The kickstand looks like horizontal-only.

I have this monitor. I use mine with my Pixel 9, which supports an external monitor. Combined with a foldable BT keyboard, I basically have a full fledged laptop using just my smartphone when needed for traveling, so I no longer have to lug my laptop with me.

If you have to lug a screen and a keyboard, why not just use a laptop?

I don't think the built-in stand can do portrait, but you could probably use something like this.

A bit less weight, and this is cheaper than a laptop so if it gets lost/stolen it's not as huge of a loss.

I was looking for those cool, LCD screens that are a few inches long to keep an eye on temps while gaming and such. This would actually end up being cheaper but it would take up the limited desk space I have.

Some people need two screens to do their job. I bought one to work from my mom's house sometimes.

We've seen so many of these portable monitors on sale. Hard to know which ones are the best. Do they come in OLED and 4K, with stereo speakers?
