Housing: How is the Minisforum MSSA156 processed?
We like the workmanship of the Minisforum MSSA156. As soon as we opened it, we noticed the high-quality design of the edges, which are rounded and made of metal. At 4 mm, the frame is quite thin and the edges of the screen next to the display are pleasantly narrow, which gives the MSSA156 an attractive appearance. The convenient monitor comes in a stylish, black artificial leather case, which can also be used for setting due to magnetic adhesion.

The 15.6-inch screen offers a crisp 2K resolution (WQHD: 2560 × 1440p) as well as a strong 144 Hz refresh rate, and coverage of the high-quality DCI-P3 colour space is 100 percent. It also supports touch input. The IPS display is colourful and was extremely bright in testing, allowing us to see well even in bright light despite the reflective glossy surface. The brightness of our test device is around 290 cd/m². However, this monitor is also less suitable for outdoor use; values ​​above 400 cd/m² are required here.
Connection to a laptop, PC or smartphone is via USB-C or mini-HDMI, with the corresponding cables included.

conclusion
We loved the Minisforum MSSA156 from the first moment. Nice, attractive, slim case and high-quality workmanship. The vibe is maintained with good colors. In addition, the screen is really fast at 144 Hz, which makes work even more pleasant. Entries can also be made via touch, although this results in many annoying fingerprints on the glossy display. Brightness is solid at just under 300 cd/m², but too low for outdoors. The included magnetic protective case is a welcome addition.
