MSI PRO MP161 E2U 15.6" IPS Full HD 60 Hz 4ms USB-C Portable Monitor

Plug a second screen into your laptop via a single USB-C cable and your productivity can shift dramatically — and that's the core promise the MSI PRO MP161 E2U delivers on. At 15.6 inches with a Full HD IPS panel, it gives remote workers, students, and frequent travellers a genuinely usable second display that slips into a bag without drama. The fold-out stand is built into the rear cover, meaning there's no separate kickstand to lose in a hotel room, and the 4ms response time keeps it capable enough for light gaming or video work on the road.

Who Is This For?

This monitor is built for the laptop user who constantly wishes they had more screen real estate — the consultant working from client sites, the student who edits video on a single screen, or the remote worker hot-desking between locations. If you're already carrying a USB-C laptop, the setup here is genuinely one-cable simple. That said, if you're looking for a desktop replacement or need anything above 60Hz for competitive gaming, look elsewhere — this isn't that monitor.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the colour accuracy for an IPS panel at this price point, and the USB-C power delivery means it works without a mains adapter on many modern laptops. The most repeated criticism is the stand's limited angle adjustment — it holds one position and that's your lot, which becomes genuinely annoying on uneven surfaces or when standing at a desk.

The Deal

Currently priced at £69.00, down from £99.00, that's a £30 saving and a 30% reduction worth taking seriously. However, this product is newly tracked on our system, so we can't yet confirm whether £99 is a reliable reference price or a briefly inflated figure — check our best monitor deals page for wider context before committing. At £69 it's competitive; just don't assume the "was" price tells the whole story yet.
