MSI PRO MP165 E6
An inexpensive, flexible second screen for documents and chat windows rather than color-critical work.

Our verdict
MSI's PRO MP165 E6 is a 15.6-inch 1080p portable monitor that runs from a single USB-C cable and also has an HDMI input, which PCMag noted is rare in this class. It ships with a stand, a sleeve, a tripod socket and VESA mounting, and weighs about 0.78kg. PCWorld's testing found brightness good for the price but color coverage narrow at about 63% of sRGB, with only modest accuracy. There is no battery, and the 60Hz panel is not suited to photo editing or fast gaming.
