About this product
This Acer PM161Q is a 15.6-inch IPS portable monitor with 1920x1080 resolution and 4ms response time. It connects via USB-C 3.2 and includes a 3.5mm audio out. The monitor is from 2018 and sold as used or open-box. With no manufacturer warranty, it offers basic portability for casual computing or as a secondary screen.
Our take
This older PM161Q model works fine for basic tasks but shows its age. The connection options are limited to USB-C, which is convenient if your device supports it, but no HDMI port means less flexibility. I noticed the panel brightness is typical 250 nits, which is dim for outdoor use. The lack of warranty is a risk, but at this price it's cheap enough for a second screen. Response time is decent, but 60Hz refresh rate means it's not for gaming.
