Ottimo monitor per il gaming se si in trasferta o comunque in giro, siccome negli hotel mettono le tv alte 3mt e distanti 10. Lo stand che tiene in piedi il monitor fa anche da cover. Include i vari cavi MiniHDMI/HDMI , Type c ecc ottimo veramente per chi non ha le pretese del 4k , anche perch sicuramente il prezzo cambia. Ottimo
Searched for 1week looking for type c monitor which support thunderbolt as we’ve in office only 1 cable from monitor required to charge your laptop and everything like keyboard, mouse will be connected to the monitor , no need to take out your laptop charger even . just switch on your monitor and ready to go.
lots of ports connectivity with the monito
Prima di tutto il design, bianco semplice il supporto molto utile e solido.
Dal punto di vista tecnico e prima di tutto l’utilizzo pu risultare un ottimo monitor per chi fa un lavoro molto semplice di navigazione e lavoro con microsoft e cose simili.Ovviamente non un monitor per giocare o per photoshop.
La qualit dell immagine molto buona l ho scelto per le sue performance a non affaticare gli occhi.E da quando l ho comprato non ho avuto pi problemi.
Abbinato col mac va benissimo e bisogna dedicare del tempo a migliorare i settagi di colore e profili colori una volta terminato sar un monitor molto comodo e performante.
Consiglio il 27 1080p che migliora la lettura dei caratteri.Altre risoluzione possono non essere ergonomiche e richiedono una spesa notevole per avere un setup commisurato alle caratteristiche dei mac.
The 65w output from the screen works great and the ability to use a type C connector for display and charging leaves a really clean desk setup. very happy with this purchase
Muy buen monitor. Gran relacion calidad-Precio (228 euros en marzo de 2023). muy buena resolucion de imagen y colores brillantes. Le falla el soporte, que es la misma funda, y no es muy estable, Este detalle no me ha gustado y por eso lo he devuelto.
What can I say? Its excellent. Great quality screen, decent size, though I prefer to power it with its own usb-c power supply
Great build quality, easy to use.
The case is a bit fiddly but i have used double sided tape to attach the rear part and now its very easy to use the case/stand.
Monitor unfortunately has a dead pixel but amazon helped with this.
Besides that and the very rare pixel issue its a great monitor and recommend.
I recently purchased the MSI Optix MAG162V Portable Gaming IPS Monitor and have been thoroughly impressed with its performance. As a gamer and someone who works in the gaming industry, I need a monitor that can handle both my gaming and work needs, and this one definitely delivers.
However, the monitor isn’t as bright as I would have liked, which can be a bit of a drawback in certain lighting conditions. To give you an idea of the brightness, I’ve attached an image to display the brightness in comparison to my M1 MacBook Pro, both have the same item up on the screen. Despite this, I was pleased to find that the screen is very responsive, with minimal lag during gameplay.
The IPS display provides good color reproduction and decent viewing angles, making it a pleasure to use for both gaming and work. I recommended this monitor to a colleague of mine who also purchased it and had a positive experience. Its portable design is also a huge plus, allowing me to easily take it with me wherever I go.
My only minor complaint is that the settings don’t always save when I unplug and replug it in. However, this is a small inconvenience that doesn’t detract from the overall quality of the product.
Overall, I highly recommend the MSI Optix MAG162V Portable Gaming IPS Monitor for anyone who needs a high-quality, responsive, and portable monitor for gaming or work.
This for me is an expensive monitor. But it was ideal for my needs. The monitor feels light and looks like it’s made of aluminium. It has its own adapter and not a kettle one like you you get in most (hopefully in the future this won’t be a problem). This ticks most of all the boxes. I like the controls being on the bottom of the monitor and not on the back like some. The controls on the back are good if your not using multiple monitors like I am. The only disappointing things it doesn’t come with the usb c cable that enables you to connect it up to a laptop and the light is at the bottom of the monitor and it’s hard to see.
Edit: another negative is it comes with usb 2.0 ports and not the faster 3.1 ports. The usb slots are ideal fora keyboard and a mouse.
The picture and colours are very acceptable. I like the fact that is non flickering so feels comfortable for eyes. Can be positioned vertically. Would buy again!
A factory sealed and had some drops like dirt. Fortunately a wet wipe later there wasn’t any trace left and the screen came without a scratch. That’s the reason it gets 4 stars as those drops were after opening every factory seal possible(sticker, nylon, bag and case) 4 untampered sealing. And I love how well protected was in all the boxes if we don’t count the drops on it. Remember all settings in a bag(haven’t tested more than day as use it all the time) every time I take it out brightness and volume are as I left it.
Full HD is just good enough for this size and if take price into the account, I just don’t want to pay the extra cost for 4k quality on 15.6 screen that I can’t notice the difference with my bare eyes.
It has 1 mini hdmi and 2 usb-c port. Just need to connect to it with one usb-c to usb-c cable, very convenient.
Don’t normally do reviews, been looking at a portable monitor for a while, had a limited budget.
Decided to go for this one as MSI are a good brand instead of one I have not heard of..
Great so for connected to a PS5 . Image is super, great sound for a small monitor, will be used for when on travels and holiday.. also for when at the inlaws and the kids want to connect a firestick
Ho un Mini M1 e da tempo cercavo uno schermo poco ingombrante da infilare nello zaino per poter lavorare fuori sede. Dopo lunghe comparazioni ho scelto questo monitor e non sono rimasto deluso. Le immagini sono nitidissime grazie ad una notevole densit di pixel e nonostante le dimensioni fisiche dello schermo, il che lo rende anche un ottimo secondo schermo. Certamente non mi aspettavo una grande fedelt dei colori, che infatti non c’, e nemmeno una grande luminosit. Questo secondo aspetto forse quello pi fastidioso e che mi impedisce di dare 5* perch in condizioni di luce piena la luminosit effettivamente insufficiente.
Compared to my MacBook, the colours a bit muted but still good. High resolution and you can’t see the pixels. Lightweight. The stand is ok but only has 2 positions, this would be better with 3 or 4
very good so far , used for one month and cant complaint.
Utilizzato sia come secondo schermo del pc (collegato con usb-c direttamente ad una 6900XT senza bisogno di ulteriore alimentazione), sia come schermo primario di un laptop (collegato ad un hub usb-c, necessita alimentazione ausiliaria), sia come schermo da gaming per switch/steam deck (sempre con hub usb-c ed alimentazione ausiliaria).
Leggero quanto basta, lo trasporto in un normale zaino da lavoro e il peso aggiuntivo assolutamente sopportabile. La cover potrebbe essere pi comoda da utilizzare, lo stand che si viene a creare solido ma quando viene chiusa lo schermo “balla” leggermente al suo interno perch calamitata e completamente rimuovibile, quindi non agganciata in maniera solida al monitor.
Consiglio a chiunque abbia necessit come le mie, cio avere sia un secondo monitor per il pc primario, sia un bisogno di avere un monitor bello grande in mobilit.
Great screen; would be even better if it were able to pass through connections on the usb-C ports for example allowing a USB-C headset to be powered and have access to data to and from the host device. Ended up being the envy of workmates using this screen whilst travelling with work allowing screen space whilst they were constrained to just their laptop screen.
Through a hub I found I had to use the hdmi input and also power the monitor from hub via a usb C port. Monitor is thin, Colours look good, speakers OK. Menu settings toggle was the only thing I found fiddly. Comes with protective cover that can act as a stand and cables for each input. Hdmi to mini hdmi and usb C cable.
Fantastico. ottima qualit delle immagini. Per ottenerla, necessario configurare bene i diversi settaggi. Disabilitare la modalit eco ed abilitare l’HDR, in modalit PRO.Struttura interamente in alluminio. Non in plastica, come tanti altri portable monito
Me encanta que es super portatil, puedo conectar mi PS5 y mi laptop y hacer de todo. La bocina integrada es buena, no la mejor pero resuelve para ser portatil. Este producto lo eleg porque necesitaba una pantalla para jugar sin molestar en la TV de casa cuando yo quiera jugar y para tomar cursos en internet mientras practico lo que veo, y para ambas cosas ha funcionado a la perfeccin, estoy muy contento de este monitor. Creo que lo que diferencia este monitor de otros, es la calidad de la imagen mas su bocina y su tamao portable, si la bocina fuera un poco mas potente creo que sera el monitor portatil perfecto, pero satisface completamente mis necesidades y sin dudas lo recomiendo.
This portable screen is good if you don’t have permanent set up for your laptop and you need 2 screens.
When you are not using it, simply fold it back and set it on side. Vary handy but not great when connected to mobile. You can use it as the mobile phone screen but it does not display fully apps so pretty much useless…
Overall this monitor is great for small spaces to use as temporary second screen.
The quality of it is pretty outstanding for the price, and it is definitely worth it.
The only downside for me is my fingers are fat and the rocker switch for thee u is fiddly for me. But once you set it once, it’s done.
Pros.
Si tu equipo cuenta con Tipo C, slo con el cable Tipo C, podrs alimentarlo y sacar imagen.
Contras.
Para ser transportable pesa, sera perfecto una versin con menos peso.
Nota: el peso es porque tiene acabados en aluminio.
Monitor portatile bellissimo! Comprato principalmente per il gaming (MSI una garanzia) ed perfetto per l’uso grazie ad un tempo di risposta molto basso (4 ms).
L’ho provato anche come secondo monitor per il mio chromebook e funziona alla perfezione.
La qualit costruttiva ottima e molto bella anche la custodia.
Assolutamente consigliato
Que NO me ha gustado
l soporte, aunque lo indican como un plus, a mi me parece algo complicado su colocacin, la pantalla queda, para mi gusto demasiado inclinada y baja para trabajar con textos as que de momento lo he dejado en la caja. Pero mejor tenerlo a que falte. Actualmente uso un atril que tenia cogiendo polvo en un cajn.
Tampoco me gusta la franja inferior, donde el logotipo, se poda haber aprovechado para tener ms zona de visualizacin en lugar de una zona negra.
La conexin por USB-C, mi equipo, un Surface-pro 3, no debe estar preparado para enviar corriente y video ya que no consegu que se viera la imagen, al final he tenido que usar un cable para la alimentacin (un viejo cargador de mvil me ha servido) y otro para el video (un apao de mini display-port a HDMI para usar su cable HDMI-miniHdmi).
A partir de empezar a usarlo, en mi porttil el sonido se entrecorta al usar los auriculares bluetooth, y aunque en otro porttil el sonido suena bien en el mo no suena nada si utilizo los altavoces incorporados en la pantalla (tras seleccionarlos como salida de audio en Windows obviamente).
Los conectores y el control de encendido y configuracin me hubiera gustado estuvieran todos en el mismo lateral para tener un mejor acceso a los mismos al usar la pantalla en vertical.
Habra estado bien, que trajera un cargador. Al no funcionarme la carga desde mi ordenador a la pantalla por usb-c tuve que coger uno que ya tena. No lo veo como un problema pero habra estado bien que lo incorporase.
Algn conector ms, personalmente prefiero display port al hdmi y evito los ordenadores que no tengan al menos un conector de este tipo. Habra estado bien que tuviera un conector mini DP adems del miniHDMI.
Que me ha gustado
Que sea portable ha sido mi principal objetivo. Dado que estoy trabajando mucho en casa, quera reemplazar mi Surface por un mini-pc potente, pero a medio plazo la idea es poder llevarme el nuevo equipo a cualquier parte y usar esta pantalla como principal. Por eso cog este tamao de 15,6″.
Las conexiones, fue otro de los motivos a elegir esta pantalla, que tuviera HDMI para el equipo viejo, pero USB-C para cuando reciba el nuevo. Pensaba coger otro que tuviera ms resolucin (4K) y pantalla tctil, pero en calidad-precio creo que ha sido un acierto.
Trae una variedad suficiente de cables para cubrir casi cualquier necesidad, digo casi porque al final tuve comprarme un adaptador para el video, pero muy completa la variedad de opciones de conexin que ofrece.
Trae un protector rgido y una funda para el polvo. El protector rgido hace tambin funcin de “trpode” para sujetar la pantalla. Como dije no me gusta para ese fin, pero me encanta poder disponer de un protector para su transporte ya que es complicado encontrar fundas y protectores a medida.
La calidad de visualizacin
Los videos se ven espectaculares (aunque sea a full hd), muy buenos colores y no hay retardo de imagen, tiene una velocidad de refresco muy buena (aunque no lo uso para jugar), los textos muy ntidos y claros.
Es curioso que haba ledo que la pantalla era de tipo brillo (ideal para pelculas o juegos), sin embargo, en la configuracin por defecto, tiene menos brillo que mi monitor principal que es mate (para mi, mejor por pasar muchas horas delante de la pantalla).
Tiene muchas opciones de configuracin a la hora de personalizar como quieres que muestre las imgenes, no soy de dedicarle mucho tiempo a eso y suelo usar las pantallas tal cual vienen, pero si quieres entretenerte tienes donde hacerlo, como me serva tal cual viene de fbrica, as lo dej.
Para qu lo uso?
Actualmente, mientras me llega el mini-pc, lo uso como tercera pantalla. El tamao es ideal para tenerla en vertical a la hora de leer webs de mucho texto y para escribir cdigo. En horizontal lo prob brevemente para extender escritorio y ver algn video y da muy buena calidad, muy buena herramienta para mejorar la productividad.
De momento, muy satisfecho con la compra. Seguramente en un futuro compre algn tipo de trpode para mejorar la estabilidad y poder elegir la altura para mejorar tambin la visibilidad.
So after a quick swap out for another monitor that just didn’t last for more than 3 months I have given the MSI a try.
Now I have had MSI gpu’s and motherboards in the past and they have been faultless. That’s quality has continued here on the whole.
The screen is perfect for my needs and comes with a great magnetic Folio case. The weight of the screen is noticeable but I like it, it feels robust and well made. Some review mention the colours not being so vibrant but it’s not something I have really noticed. The ability to connect hdmi and usb-c was what I needed.
The audio isn’t the loudest but what do you expect from a portable monitor.
