A Display for Work and Content Viewing
Content on the Full HD MSI PRO MP161 E2 monitor is handled by a 15.6" IPS panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio and an anti-glare surface finish that reduces reflections from ambient light. The 1920 × 1080 resolution provides sufficient sharpness for working with documents and watching videos. IPS technology results in wide viewing angles and consistent colour reproduction. The panel operates with a 60Hz refresh rate and a 4ms (GtG) response time. The brightness reaches 250cd/m² and the contrast ratio is 800:1. Adaptive-Sync technology synchronises the image with the graphics card's output and suppresses screen tearing.
Monitor Flexibility
The MSI PRO MP161 E2 portable monitor offers high mobility. The monitor weighs 0.75kg and has a slim profile, so it takes up little space in a backpack. A protective sleeve is also included in the package. The monitor has an integrated folding stand with a range of 0° to 180°. The design allows for smooth tilting and use of the screen in the classic landscape orientation as well as in portrait mode, which is suitable for programming or reading long documents, for example. For even more mounting options, a standard 1/4" tripod thread is provided on the body.
Eye and Sound Care
Long-term work with the MSI PRO MP161 E2 monitor is less strenuous thanks to MSI EyesErgo technologies. The Flicker-Free function reduces the invisible backlight flickering that causes eye fatigue. The blue light filter reduces the emission of the potentially harmful part of the light spectrum. It includes an Eye-Q Check feature that helps the user assess eye fatigue through simple tests and recommends a break. For advanced settings, the MSI Display Kit software offers tools for screen splitting, colour profile management, and other display adjustments. For basic sound without the need for external accessories, there are built-in speakers.
Connectivity Options
Connecting the MSI PRO MP161 E2 monitor to devices is simplified by a pair of USB-C ports. Both support video signal transmission via DisplayPort Alt Mode and simultaneously provide 15W Power Delivery. This means a single cable for both video and power is all you need to connect to your laptop. A mini HDMI 2.0 port is available for connecting other video sources, such as cameras or game consoles. L-shaped cables are included in the package, which facilitate organisation on the desk and reduce mechanical stress on the connectors. The monitor connects to devices using ports located on the side.

Colour Coverage (Gamut)
Determines how accurately the monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for the web, films, or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB is appreciated by graphic designers or professionals at work. The higher the stated value, the better the monitor displays colours. Maximum Brightness
The value given in nits or cd/m² determines the brightness level of the monitor. Brightness above 400 nits is key for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while values above 250 are sufficient for standard office monitors. Refresh Rate and Response Time
Refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the picture and the less eye strain. A lower response time value (ms) eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
