Acer launches PD163Q portable monitor with dual displays but faces performance issues

Acer's new PD163Q portable monitor combines two displays into one unit, priced at $329. While it offers a good color range, it suffers from poor build quality and connectivity issues, requiring multiple connections instead of the promised single USB-C cable. The monitor's design is thick and heavy, comparable to a laptop. Its displays have inconsistent color accuracy and brightness, with the upper screen struggling to match the lower one. The built-in speakers are subpar, and controls are difficult to access. Despite its potential for dual-screen productivity, the PD163Q's performance and reliability fall short. Competing products, like two separate monitors, may provide better value and functionality for users seeking portable display options.
