I bought this monitor today and it came with Tripod support and 2 cables both with 90 Degree angled HDMI and USB-Cables.

[@firme8809]

Thanks for the video there is much info about these online I ordered one hopefully 🙏 it's here tomorrow

[@ryanlyttle8014]

Just wanted to say thank you for this video! I was sitting here baffffffled trynna get my Xbox connected! Top man

[@FUSEDFORCE]

good review straight to the point

[@LukkyLukas]

Lack of color saturation is intentional as it’s IPS for more accurate color. Kind of like how dull sounding studio headphones are used in recording for accuracy. Great review though thanks.

[@touringtim7313]

The reason this is packed so well is because it's fragile. I bought one of these to use between work and home, within 3 weeks the display was starting to give up. I recommend buying a portable monitor with laptop quality case, not plastic

[@Ampel_off]

Good and informative video, showing capabilities live is best Thanks.

[@DazePhase]

I got this one to pair it with my new SFF Mini-ITX pc build. Can easily take my desktop everywhere.

[@BigNoiseyBoi]

Okay at first I was impressed with the monitor as I've just ordered one for work. Then when I saw the motorola desktop mode I was properly impressed as I didn't know about that.

[@philbranagan3137]

I just got the desktop app on my Moto, thinking of using this, how is it working?

[@V3ntilator]

My over 5 year old Huawei P30 Pro phone already had built in Desktop mode for USB-C Monitors. No software needed.

[@soapbar88]

What sort of power brick did you use to power the thing over USBC while you were connected to HDMI?

[@goodaid]

his motorola phone

[@Asadc1995]

Does this work with 5g phones too combined with mouse and keyboard? thinking of getting one for gaming on the go at hotels. And does it support mouse and keyboard with cloud gaming purposes. Cloud gaming on the go at hotels Combined with a usb c dock with diffferent ports ranging from hdmi to usb ports to even ethernet port

[@CopDo]

Does it use Second Screem Only when connected to the phone ?

[@thomas.ambrosini]

Hey mate, any word on power drain on the devices you've been hooking it up to? And can you power it individually?

[@justinmills9]

I belive 50% drain so expect half the battery life from tour laptop

[@DebasisMohanty-ug6li]

Hey, I am not able to connect the msi portable monitor with my phone. I have nothing 2 I am able to project my laptop. Is there anything else need to be installed/done to project mobile screen

[@brianlee4uu]

Hi there, tks for the review, can the MSI MP161 be powered by a power bank or phone charger?

[@JoeBloggs112]

Power bank yes, phone charger no

[@goodaid]

phone charger (USB) should also work@@JoeBloggs112

[@donoiskandar6820]

I try to connect the monitor with my android using c to c cable, but it said no hdmi signal?

[@DoNotSayThree]

Not all phones support video output.

[@Moefad007]

Nice video , but i need your help, i ordered this portable device , i tried to connect many smartphone with USB-C , like you did, but nothing happened ,USB-C to USB-C , with mi 10 t pro, mi 12t , mi 13t pro and LG velvet. Do i need a special App ? Always error message Type-C 2 no signal.

[@Shemal.JustAnotherShrink]

You need to buy a dedicated type c to type c cable with display capabilities. Most phones come with a cable that can do charging and data, but not display.

[@Babykeval]

Should I need to turn on usb debugging from developer option ?

[@V3ntilator]

No. On my over 5 year old Huawei P30 Pro phone i could just connect the cable and set the display to desktop mode. No developer mode or software required at all.

[@kamranzamanli5075]

Bro what's the name of the app in phone you using?

[@TooSlowTube]

Can you permanently mute it? The last thing I'd want it sound coming out of those tinny speakers, accidentally.

[@TechJamo]

LOL I don't think it has memory unfortunately lol

[@V3ntilator]

I bought one today and i could set the volume to 0, and click a button to save settings.

[@TooSlowTube]

@@V3ntilator Thanks.

[@V3ntilator]

@@TooSlowTube Your welcome. The OSD on screen shows where to click to save setting. I have this model, but seem to have been upgraded in 2024 and is called. "MSI Pro MP161 E2". E2 is a newer version. Mine came with Tripod support and also had 2 cables included with 90 degree angled cable connectors. In most YT videos on this, there is no Tripod support and they came with standard flat cables in the past.

[@edwingandawijaya]

@@V3ntilator does it sound so bad that you muted it?

[@shyam8102]

Whats the height and width of it please?

[@Ampel_off]

Come on man. Heard of Google?

[@youtubeviewer6345]

nice video man but lazy description

[@kepuheverything380]

Can i play ps4 with this

[@NEVERKNOWSBE5T]

The monitor comes with a micro HDMI (plugs into the monitor) to HDMI connector which can plug in to any device with a HDMI output. So yes you can

[@Ash_Todd_]

Is there a way of mounting these?

[@goodaid]

i guess no... no vesa or tripot socket

[@darkguset]

I am going to attempt with 3M Dual Lock on a TV/monitor wall mount with a flat surface.
