Why this product
A second screen that travels
15.6 inches of 1920 x 1080 at 2 kg packed, with a protective cover that doubles as the stand — made to go in a laptop bag.
USB-C or Mini-HDMI
Two USB-C ports and one Mini-HDMI (HDMI 1.4) input. USB-C to USB-A, USB-C to USB-C and Mini-HDMI to HDMI cables are all supplied, along with an adapter.
IPS matt panel
An IPS panel with a matt finish and 178° viewing angles in both directions, so colour stays consistent off-axis and reflections are kept down.
Stereo speakers and a headphone jack
Two 1.5 W speakers (3 W total) are built in, with a 3.5 mm headphone output — useful when presenting away from a desk.
Flicker-free with a blue light filter
Flicker-free technology and a low blue light mode, which helps on long sessions in a hotel room or a co-working space.
Low power draw over USB
Powered over USB-C at 5V/3A, drawing under 15 W in use and under 0.5 W on standby.

- Laptops, phones and tablets with a USB-C port that carries video (DisplayPort Alt Mode).
- Any device with an HDMI output, using the supplied Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable.
- Both speakers and a 3.5 mm headphone jack are on board for audio.
- The video input is Mini-HDMI, not full-size HDMI — the correct cable is supplied, but a spare will need to be Mini-HDMI.
- Power comes in over USB-C, and an AC adapter is included in the box. A single host USB-C port may not supply enough power on its own.

- No DisplayPort socket, no Wi-Fi and no Bluetooth.
- No card reader and no TV tuner.
Best for
- Working away from a desk — a second screen for a laptop in a hotel, a train or a co-working space.
- Presenting on the move — speakers, a headphone jack and a cover that becomes a stand.
- Single-cable setups — USB-C carries video and power on hosts that support it.
- Long sessions — a matt IPS panel, flicker-free, with a blue light filter.
- Consoles and cameras on the go — Mini-HDMI in, with the cable supplied.
Trade-offs
- Gaming at high refresh rates. This is a 60Hz panel with a 5ms response time.
- Charging a laptop. The monitor draws power; it does not supply any to the host.
- A truly cable-free desk. An AC adapter is supplied and may be needed depending on the host.
- Wireless use. There is no Wi-Fi and no Bluetooth — it is a wired display.
- Edge-to-edge multi-screen walls. piXL list this model as not a frameless design.
The piXL PM156C is a 15.6-inch Full HD portable monitor built around an IPS matt panel. It is made to travel: 2 kg packed, with a protective cover that folds into a stand, and it connects over USB-C or Mini-HDMI.
A second screen anywhere
Having a second display means reference material, chat and a video call can all stay visible at once instead of being switched between. It suits people moving between home and office, working in public spaces, travelling, or presenting away from their own desk.
Connections
Two USB-C ports and one Mini-HDMI input, with USB-C to USB-A, USB-C to USB-C and Mini-HDMI to HDMI cables all supplied, plus an adapter. On a host whose USB-C port carries video and enough power, one cable does the job; otherwise the supplied adapter provides power.
Panel and audio
The IPS matt panel holds colour and clarity at 178° in both directions, which helps when sharing the screen or tilting it. Two 1.5 W speakers are built in alongside a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and the panel is flicker-free with a low blue light mode.
Power
Power comes in over USB-C at 5V/3A, drawing under 15 W in use and under 0.5 W on standby. The monitor draws power only — it does not charge the host.
