Acer’s IPS portable monitor is a must-have for laptops, now 28% off

If you could use a portable monitor that’s easy to take with you anywhere you go—e.g., for laptop productivity while traveling—then don’t skip over this one by Acer. It’s on sale for just $100 at B&H (down from its original $140 price tag), which is a great deal for the specs, the panel quality, and Acer’s overall brand reputation.

Though I’m full-time remote, I love portable monitors. My home office setup is more than adequate for doing my job, complete with multiple monitors. But when I go out to work from a coffee shop or my backyard patio, I can’t take my workstation setup with me. Which sucks because it’s hard to go back to a single display after you’ve gotten used to a multi-screen setup. Hence my love for my portable monitor.

Acer’s PM161QB is a fantastic option if you’re in the market for one yourself. You get crisp, vibrant, and color-accurate images with its 1080p resolution on a 15.6-inch IPS panel, which will look gorgeous whether you’re writing in Word, working on Excel sheets, streaming movies on Netflix, or doomscrolling on Bluesky.

It features two USB-C ports and a Mini-HDMI for easy connectivity and compatibility, plus it comes with an integrated stand that lets you prop it up for convenient hands-free viewing. Weighing just 2.4 pounds and only 0.4 inches thick, it’s truly portable. And though it has built-in speakers, it also has 3.5mm audio for use with your own speakers or headphones.

There are cheaper portable monitors out there, but they don’t have the same quality that Acer imparts. Don’t miss this chance to get Acer’s 15.6-inch portable monitor for just $100 at B&H!
