Ever wish you had a second screen for your laptop, but didn’t want to lug around a bulky traditional monitor? Well, Acer has some new portable displays that might be just what you’re looking for this 2025. Whether you’re a busy professional needing extra screen real estate on the go, a student looking to boost productivity, or just someone who loves the flexibility of more screen space, Acer’s latest lineup has some clever solutions.
Dual-Screen Wonders: The PD163QT and PD243Y E
While all portable monitors are handy, Acer is really highlighting two models with a particularly interesting trick: the Acer PD163QT and the Acer PD243Y E. These aren’t just single-panel wonders; they both offer dual-screen features and can actually fold up to 315 degrees. Imagine the possibilities: you could set them up to present to a client, create a comfortable reading setup, or simply collaborate more easily with a colleague. Both screens offer Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution for clear visuals.
Now let’s dive a little deeper into these two:
The Acer PD163QT is a compact 15.6-inch portable monitor with an IPS panel, making for good viewing angles. What makes it stand out is its touch capability, allowing for intuitive work sessions directly on the screen. It has an 8ms response time and a 60Hz refresh rate, suitable for productivity tasks.
Acer PD243Y E: If you need more space, the 23.8-inch PD243Y E is your go-to. Also featuring an IPS panel, this larger monitor offers a 100 Hz flicker-free refresh rate, which means a smoother viewing experience, especially noticeable during prolonged use. It has a faster 4ms response time, making it great for media consumption too.
Both the PD163QT and PD243Y E also incorporate Acer VisionCare™ technology, designed to help reduce eye strain during those long work or study sessions.
The Slim and Adjustable PM191Q E
Acer also introduced the Acer PM191Q E monitor. This one focuses on being ultra-thin and space-saving, making it incredibly easy to carry. It comes with an adjustable kickstand so you can find just the right viewing angle wherever you are. This 18.5-inch monitor also boasts a Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and can even be overclocked to a 100 Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals.
All three new portable monitors are also VESA wall mountable, giving you even more flexibility for how you integrate them into your workspace.
