Acer - PM161Q Bbmiuux

I use a random Acer one from Walmart, it's got the tablet like case on it so you can stand it up however you want, uses basically no power so I run it on a powerbank

It's really solid, it hasn't left my bag since I bought it, just keep up with the cables, it comes with all you need basically. The USB c cable it comes with is for video

This is a reprise of the "Good - Refurbished" Acer Portable Monitor that went OOS real quick. Out of curiosity I went on eBay to look for alternatives to the $33 one, and I found that Acer sells Certified Refurbished units with a two year warranty - this differed from the $33 "Good - Refurnished" units. Not only that, but there are a bunch of different variants of the same PM161Q monitor. This one in my post, then there are these: 4 ms, 250 Nit, $41.84: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256465547378 6 ms, 250 Nit, $41.84: https://www.ebay.com/itm/267229702829 20 ms, 250 nit, $41.84 (???): https://www.ebay.com/itm/276789897235 5 ms, 250 nit, $46.49: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256124120381 This one appears to be the closest to the one that went out of stock earlier. You have to dig into the description to pull the "variant" model number, they are named weird stuff like "Abmiuuzx" and "BBMIUUX" and I have NO idea what they mean. And unlike the other listing (which has the same variant model number) this one says it's 250 Nits, NOT 300 Nits. Oh, and guess what, it gets even MORE confusing because you can also buy their widescreen 1920 x 1200 version (PM161W), that ALSO has variants: 1920 x 1200, 6 ms, 220 Nit, $55.79: https://www.ebay.com/itm/277589829030 1920 x 1200, 6 ms, 220 Nit, $64.16: https://www.ebay.com/itm/257255335814 Can anyone help me figure out what the hell the differences between these models are other than the response time? Acer's own listings for specs are all over the place - sometimes they have the specs listed in the description, sometimes in the dedicated "Specs" section, sometimes their numbers don't match (listing says 20ms response time, specs say 5ms), etc. I just picked this one because the variant model letter was the highest (starts with J) and it was one of the cheapest variants.

Decent diagnostic tool for 33 bucks say less. The amount of times working on PC's that I've had to drag a full size monitor off of my desk only to put it back together again because a PC was pulled apart in my living room. Or as the other commenter said trying to sell things. I don't want to drag a full size monitor to some store and then spend an annoying amount of time trying to hook it up especially if it's the only monitor I have

YMMV on the quality. Ordered this one two week ago, it went out of stock right after my order so I guess they only had one at the moment. It was delivered a couple of days ago and it had an area where pixels are always light up - it's barely visible with bright colors but on grey or darker looks like a bug white smudge.

Mine was in perfect condition just in a unbranded box. And they shipped it like 2 weeks later than it was supposed to but they said that was due to the holidays

I have an Acer PM161Q and it’s pretty solid. I’ve been playing Battlefield 6 all week on it while traveling. 2 USB-C and a mini-hdmi. It can use: 1.) a single USB-C for both video/power(limited brightness) 2.) USB-C power on one port, USB-C video(higher brightness). It can mirror an Android screen in this configuration(have not test with Apple). 3.) USB-C power and mini-hdmi to hdmi (ideal) Speakers are tinny, low volume, ok in a pinch. Headphone jack on the side works well. The ports are well fitted too. The built-in cover acts as a 2-position stand and is VESA mountable or a 1/4-20 thread screw. Best of all, it’s $80 at any Walmart!

I use mine for discord and background YouTube/spotify. It’s super lightweight and easy to move lol

I bought this for $40 during the last post. It's a nice monitor and I use it connected to a MacBook for remote work.

It's thin but not flimsy. I'd be careful tossing in a bag with other items without a sleeve. Treat it like an ipad

Bought one of these when this was posted last time and it’s been awesome! Tempted to grab another just to have on hand.

OOS but there are other very similar listings for the same model PM161Q from Acer's Ebay store. Used - Very Good $35: https://www.ebay.com/itm/267229717756 Certified Refurb $45: https://www.ebay.com/itm/267228772305 Fantastic portable display that can be driven over one cable. I am using one as my second display for my main rig, positioned below my main monitor. Perfect as a spotify/discord panel with a built-in stand.
