Dahua DHI-PM16-F201PD 15.6-inch Full HD IPS Portable Monitor
A lightweight second screen for mobile work
The Dahua DHI-PM16-F201PD, also identified as PM16-F201PD in the short model field, is a 15.6-inch portable display designed for laptops and other compatible video sources. Its official dimensions are 358.0 × 226.4 × 12.1 mm, and the bare monitor weighs 0.73 kg. That low panel weight and slim profile make it easier to carry as a secondary workspace display than a conventional desktop monitor. It can be useful for travel, temporary workstations, demonstrations, a second laptop screen or a compact console setup. The F201PD is the non-touch model; Dahua’s similarly named F201SDT is a different 10-point touchscreen product. Keep the complete model suffix visible in the listing and on the received carton so buyers do not assume the touch model is included.
Full HD IPS panel and the correct 16:9 ratio
Dahua specifies a flat 15.6-inch IPS panel with ELED backlight and native Full HD resolution of 1920 × 1080. The correct aspect ratio is 16:9. Dahua lists an active area of 344.16 × 193.59 mm and pixel pitch of 0.17925 × 0.17925 mm, which align with a widescreen Full HD panel. One Bangladesh retailer’s table incorrectly lists 16:10 beside 1920 × 1080. That is a catalog error: a 16:10 Full HD panel would normally use 1920 × 1200, and the manufacturer’s resolution and active-area dimensions both prove 16:9. The product information has been corrected accordingly. The IPS panel is non-touch, has 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing-angle ratings, and is intended for normal Full HD productivity rather than a high refresh gaming setup.
Refresh, brightness, contrast and color limits
The official specification lists a 60Hz refresh rate, 6ms response time, maximum brightness of 250 cd/m² and 1000:1 static contrast. Color support is 16.7 million colors using a 6-bit + FRC implementation, with a 45% NTSC gamut. This is a modest portable-display gamut and should not be marketed as 100% sRGB or 72% NTSC. The panel is suitable for documents, web browsing, presentations, remote work and general video. It is not specified as an HDR-certified display, and no factory calibration or professional color uniformity claim was established in the reviewed Dahua source. A laptop connected to the monitor may also show different color depending on its output settings, operating system profile and application.
Two full-function USB-C ports and one HDMI input
The DHI-PM16-F201PD provides two full-function USB Type-C ports and one HDMI 1.4 input. The USB-C ports support DisplayPort Alternate Mode for video, data synchronization and power input. A compatible laptop or phone must support DP Alt Mode or a suitable Thunderbolt video output for USB-C display use. If the host supports it and the cable is full-function, one USB-C cable can carry picture and power. A USB-C connector alone does not guarantee video output; some device ports support charging or data only. Dahua also lists up to 45W USB Power Delivery reverse charging under supported conditions. Check the host, charger and cable capabilities in the manual, and do not assume every source can provide the same pass-through charging wattage.
HDMI power and portable-device setup
The HDMI input supports Full HD at 60Hz and carries digital video and audio. HDMI does not power this monitor, so an HDMI-connected desktop, game console or recorder also needs a suitable USB-C 5V/3A power connection. The monitor’s USB-C power input is part of its setup, not an optional substitute hidden inside an HDMI cable. For a laptop with USB-C DP Alt Mode, the full-function Type-C connection can reduce cable clutter. For an HDMI-only source, connect the HDMI cable plus a separate USB-C power source. Before connecting a phone, laptop or game device, check that its output mode is compatible with the monitor and use the supplied or equivalent cable. Keep the power path within the ratings provided by Dahua.
Built-in speakers, headphone output and eye care
Unlike many small portable screens, the F201PD includes dual 1W speakers and a 3.5mm audio-out jack. Audio can be carried over HDMI or compatible USB-C video, then played through the built-in speakers or routed to headphones. Dahua also lists Software Low Blue Light protection and an anti-glare screen surface. Those are comfort features, not medical claims. The display’s 250-nit maximum brightness and matte surface are intended for ordinary indoor use; strong sunlight can reduce perceived visibility. Adjust brightness and blue-light settings to suit the work and room, and position the display to minimize reflections. The official materials do not establish an HDR certification, so the listing avoids presenting standard SDR input handling as HDR support.
Integrated kickstand and VESA mounting
The product has an integrated fold-out kickstand in the rear housing for desk placement and adjustable viewing angle. The rear design can also be mounted using a 75 × 75 mm VESA pattern, allowing a compatible compact arm or wall bracket. Check the included manual for screw length and installation guidance before mounting. The kickstand is built into the monitor body; the standard package is also listed with a separate storage bag. It is not a touchscreen folio cover. The gallery views show front and angled views with no desktop stand in front, plus rear views of the casing, controls and kickstand panel. The black chassis has a Dahua logo on the lower front bezel. Carry the display in its protective sleeve and avoid placing heavy items against the panel while transporting it.
Dimensions, power and box contents
The official monitor dimensions are 358.0 × 226.4 × 12.1 mm. The package is listed at 398 × 283 × 59 mm. Dahua states 0.73 kg for the bare unit and 1.3 kg gross; some Bangladesh listings show about 0.87 kg when the sleeve or accessories are included. The USB-C input is rated at 5V DC, 3A. Dahua lists basic consumption at 7.5W, a maximum range of 9–15W, and standby below 0.5W. The standard box contents are a full-function Type-C cable, HDMI cable, storage bag and quick-start guide, in addition to the display. Verify the delivered accessories and adapter or power source requirements against the manual; HDMI-based use requires external USB-C power.
Choose F201PD rather than the touch sibling
Dahua’s portable monitor family includes DHI-PM16-F201PD and DHI-PM16-F201SDT. The F201PD is non-touch, while the F201SDT adds 10-point capacitive multi-touch. Both share a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS panel family and similar connection concepts, so short titles can be misleading. This product’s identity is the complete DHI-PM16-F201PD model number. It should not be described as touch-enabled unless the product ID and delivered box specifically identify the F201SDT variant. Star Tech product code 52514 is only that seller’s catalogue identifier and should not be placed into the manufacturer part-number or BiponiBD SKU field. The five supplied gallery images visually show the Dahua portable display from front, angled sides, back and side profile; no retailer watermark is visible. The visible mark is Dahua branding. Commercial image rights and the exact stock batch still need internal confirmation.
Bangladesh warranty references and buyer checklist
Bangladesh retailers list changing prices around ৳12,000–৳12,500 in reviewed pages, but those figures are external references and do not establish the BiponiBD offer. Warranty terms conflict: some sellers state three years, while others state one year. The correct term depends on the seller, importer and product serial number. Check the live BiponiBD offer and invoice for the warranty provider, duration and claim route. Before ordering, verify that the carton says DHI-PM16-F201PD (non-touch), confirm whether USB-C video is supported by the host, and prepare a 5V/3A USB-C power source when using HDMI. Confirm the bag and cable set in the package if those accessories are important for travel.
Practical summary
The Dahua DHI-PM16-F201PD is a portable 15.6-inch Full HD IPS non-touch display with 60Hz refresh, 6ms response, up to 250 cd/m² brightness, 1000:1 static contrast, 45% NTSC and a true 16:9 aspect ratio. Its connections are two full-function USB-C ports, one HDMI 1.4 input and one 3.5mm audio-out. The Type-C ports support DP Alt Mode and up to 45W PD reverse charging under compatible conditions; HDMI requires separate USB-C power. Built-in speakers are rated 1W × 2. The integrated kickstand and 75 × 75 mm VESA pattern add placement choices. The non-touch F201PD should be distinguished from the F201SDT touch sibling, and the listing corrects a retailer’s erroneous 16:10 field. Warranty terms and seller prices vary, so use BiponiBD’s live page and invoice for the terms that apply.
