Msi optix mag161 series: a 15.6-inch portable monitor with 240hz

MSI has done it again, and of all the monitors it has unveiled at CES 2020, perhaps this Optix MAG161 is the most different and original. It has also earned him once again the CES 2020 innovation award.

Many may consider it as having removed a monitor from a laptop and having inserted a battery, but had someone done it before? Well, no, and that is why MSI continues to be one of the manufacturers that risk the most in its monitors.

This MSI Optix MAG161 gives us the possibility of carrying a gaming monitor with us in the backpack as it is a portable monitor with its own battery. As for design it is not different from that of a laptop, since it has very tight frames on all its edges except the bottom. In addition, its diagonal is 15.6 inches, for a panel of IPS technology with Full HD resolution (1920x1080p).

Best of all, at the back we have a battery, whose capacity and autonomy we do not know, which gives it portability to take high performance anywhere, with its 240 Hz refresh rate with FreeSync support. Being IPS we will not have any problem in the viewing angles, which will be 178 ^or as the quality standards mark.

Connectivity consists of a standard HDMI port for desktops and laptops, and a USB-C port with DisplayPort support. This will be very useful for portable devices such as tablets, Smartphone, compatible consoles or laptops themselves that do not have a panel with such features. Tan has a pair of built-in speakers in case we want extra sound performance. It will be a good ally for content creators and gamers who move from their workspace and do not want to give up speed.

For now, this is the information we have on this MSI Optix MAG161. Without further ado, we continue with more news from CES 2020. Why would you use a portable monitor?
