Acer introduces the elegant, portable and professional 15.6

Acer today unveiled the PM161Q monitor, a new ultra-portable, professional quality 15.6” monitor for professionals and students on the move.

The Acer 15.6” PM161Q monitor is ultra-light, weighing in at 0.97kg. Its 2cm slim design ensures it doesn’t take up too much desk space and it also fits perfectly into notebook bags, making it ideal for students and professionals on the move. Due to its outstanding portability, the PM161Q monitor is also ideal for use as a secondary monitor for dual-monitor presentations.

  • The Acer 15.6” PM161Q monitor is ultra-light, weighing in at 0.97kg with 2cm slim design
  • The PM161Q’s single USB Type C cable plugs into laptops, tablets and smartphones to make life more simple and Acer VisionCare means it’s easy on the eye

The new Acer 15.6 inch PM161Q monitor in Full High Definition IPS saves clutter and makes life easy with one single USB Type C cable that connects the monitor to a smartphone, tablet or laptop, sharing the display and transferring data whilst also supplying power.

The Acer PM161Q Series also offers a 170° wide view angle, thanks to IPS panel technology, so users can share what's on their screen with colleagues or an audience. The Acer PM1 monitor also comes with Acer VisionCare encompassing Flickerless, BlueLightShield, ComfyView and low-dimming technologies to enhance viewing comfort over long periods and minimize eye fatigue.

If you are going to lug around this screen for use with your phone, why not just get a laptop? Chromebooks cost about the same.

Here is the thing. Most of us that can be targeted by this type of device for portable productivity with laptop have 12,5 ~ 14'' laptops. And would appreciate screen of same dimensions.
Then there are those other things. 2cm is not slim for portable device. It is 2 times thicker than ultrabooks which (apparently) already has screen.
And same applies to 1kg weight where entire laptop's weight can be 1,2kg.

Would they make versions with smaller screens, reduced thickness and weight or used it for battery... I would call it good product at given price.
But none of those apply to this screen and that makes product bit unattractive even while ignoring unjustified price point.

The idea with those is that you already have a laptop and want a second screen because 1 isn't enough.

Looks much nicer and sturdier than an AOC version I bought about 5 years back. I remember the one time I was clumsy and it fell a short distance to the ground. The casing halves came apart and I had to snap it back together. While it survived, I've been looking for a nicer replacement for work travel. I don't know how people use only a single monitor for productivity.

6-bit color and 200 nits? and measly 7ms response time?

How is that for professionals? For 170 pound? Lol!

For this much money you can get way more superior monitors, and just carry those without the base. Plus, a modern day budget smartphone has a better screen color depth and nits.

This has to be a joke! Or a clever way of cutting and rebranding sectionally-defective & non-defective screens of the previous generation, maybe even those from inside of used products.
