    I bought the new 2024 revision of this monitor called "MSI PRO MP161 E2". (E2 Added to model).
    E2 version have Tripod connector and comes with 2 cables where both have 90 degree angled connectors.

      @@recyclebinladen5903 I was surprised to see that in the system it's actually a 8-bit screen, instead of 6-bit. This means it has 24 bit color depth and 16 million colors just like most of the monitors. Overall quality is good. A lot of options in the menu, responsive screen with good brightness and DPI.

      @@DazePhase thanks for the response. Yeah the E2 is 8 Bit compared to the first version which was 6bit. But it's still the same 53% sRGB, so I don't know how much of a difference it makes.
      Do you think it's decent for watching movies? Or do the pale blacks show up too bothersome, and you'd rather watch on a better monitor?

      @@recyclebinladen5903 You are welcome. Yesterday watched movie on 4K and it looks good. Of course there are better monitors for that. It depends of what you are used to I guess.
      Edit: If you need it for picture or video editing, definitely not recommended. As you said it's only 53% sRGB.

      The low price could be for the 2023 model to clear stock. 2024 version of same monitor comes with Tripod support and have two 90 degree angled connectors on the cables. The 2024 model is called "MSI PRO MP161 E2". E2 is the one with Tripod connector and angled cables.
