Target has just dropped the Acer PM161Q Portable Monitor from $150 to $45, saving you $105 off the regular price. The catch, however, is that this is a refurbished model, not a brand-new monitor.

According to the listing, it has been professionally inspected, tested, and cleaned to provide like-new performance and appearance. If you’re comfortable with a refurbished unit, the new $45 price gets you a compact 15.6-inch Full HD screen that gives your laptop much-needed extra display space at home or on the road.

Why Choose This Acer Portable Monitor?

The Acer PM161Q has a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display with a 1920 x 1080 resolution. That’s enough screen space to keep an extra browser window, document, spreadsheet, email, or video open alongside whatever you’re doing on your laptop.

Its IPS panel also provides wider viewing angles and more consistent colors even when you’re looking at the screen from different positions. Plus, the 250-nit brightness makes this portable monitor ideal for typical indoor use, while the 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time suit everyday work, streaming, and casual gaming.

The monitor measures about 14 inches wide and is only 0.4 inches thick, making it much easier to fit into a workspace than a traditional desktop monitor. And for connectivity, it includes both HDMI and USB-C ports, so you can connect it to different devices.

At $45, this refurbished Acer portable monitor is a steal for anyone who could use some extra screen space without spending much. You get a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display in a slim package that can work at a desk or travel alongside your laptop. Saving $105 makes the refurbished condition a much easier trade-off if you’re comfortable buying renewed tech.
