ARZOPA 16.1” 144Hz Portable Gaming Monitor, 106% sRGB 1080P FHD Kickstand Portable Monitor with HDR, Ultra Slim, Eye Care, External Second Screen for Laptop, PC, PS5, Mac, Xbox-Z1FC Gray

Excellent Portable Monitor – Tip for Mac Users Included!
I recently ordered an Arzopa 16-inch portable monitor – model Z1RC, 2.5K resolution. It is an excellent, high-quality product that arrived well-packaged. I was immediately impressed by the sturdy metal casing, which feels durable and perfect for frequent travel. The display itself is very clear and has helped increase my productivity.Setup was simple and fast. Three cables were provided to ensure connectivity for almost any device: 1) USB-C to USB-C, 2) USB-A to USB-C, and 3) mini HDMI to HDMI. I found that I could connect to either my Lenovo T14 laptop or my Apple MacBook Air (M1) using the USB-C to USB-C cable.A critical note for Mac users: while the display is clear, I found that to fully utilize its high-resolution capabilities on my MacBook Air, I needed to install an application called “BetterDisplay.” Once this was installed, the monitor performed flawlessly. After several weeks of use, I remain very happy and satisfied with this purchase, finding it a great tool for dual-screen setups on the go.

One cable connection, overall great monitor
Very clear screen with good amount of brightness (unless you’re using it under the sun, which you shouldn’t). The one cable for connection makes it great for portability since the one usb-c to usb-c cable provides both power and display out. Works flawlessly with Thunderbolt 3 and 4 ports.Kickstand is great, allows it to work in a slightly angled portrait as well as landscape.If you’re using this with a laptop, bear in mind the GPU is now pushing more than twice the pixels into twice the number of monitors, so anticipate fast battery drainage. For the price, don’t expect viewing angles to be very wide (see second image with angled view).Excellent features for the price. Would buy another monitor from Arzopa again.

Incredible value, amazing monitor for the price (Arzopa 1080p 144hz monitor w/ freesync and HDR)
Let me start out by saying the build quality is phenomenal. The packaging makes it feel like you just dropped at least $300 on this thing. The lightweight build is actually lightweight, the screen is bright and vibrant, the bezels are small, and the device itself is incredibly thin.I’ll preface this with one thing- you need need need to get a Viture USB-C adapter with power delivery (yes the one for the XR Glasses) or something similar. It’s not required, the screen can work with just power delivery from the device itself- but you’ll be sorely missing out.A USB-C adapter with power delivery allows you to take full advantage of the monitors capabilities without sacrificing display features on your PC or console itselfROG Ally connected with the adapter:1080p 144hz or 120hz w/ FreeSync Variable Refresh rate and HDR in full 30W power mode with the official ROG Ally AC adapter. Just make sure you turn on FreeSync in the monitor’s OSD and HDR if you want it.With the Switch:1. A Nintendo Switch Dock is required if you don’t have a USB-C adapter with power delivery2. I had to turn off the Switch TV power mode settings because this locks the switch if the screen turns off- and it might as you attempt to connect it3. The connection didn’t work at first (at least for me) unless I set the Switch TV Settings resolution mode to 480p before connecting- then switched it back to 1080p once on the screen was visible- BUT4. Once it works it works! No compromises. Even with the standard Nintendo Switch 5W AC adapter5. If you don’t like that you need the AC adapter I believe you’ll just need to find a portable battery with decent hi wattage power delivery. I’ve read the 20000mah Anker works- I̶’̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶e̶s̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶u̶p̶d̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶v̶i̶e̶w̶ ̶o̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶I̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶f̶i̶r̶m̶.̶ Can confirm- Anker 20000mah Power bank works!Without an adapter you can still use the screen (not the Switch)- but there will be limitations. I have not thoroughly tested it with the ROG Ally or a different Windows PC but I imagine that if you push the screen too much without some form of external power source it will likely disconnect. This should be expected. The thing is- you’ll always need some form of adapter for the devices you connect if they don’t have a discrete HDMI out or video out- otherwise you’re just draining your laptops battery. It’s worth the investment.Other features:Audio – Speakers are nothing to write home about but they get the job done and I’m more than appreciative of thatHDR – Again, nothing special- but it does work fine. I’m not super keen on knowing what to look for between SDR and HDR but it does get the job done.4K / 2K Downscaling – This monitor can support up to 4K resolutions, but downscaled to 1080p. It’s great for something like a PS5 or Xbox- consoles that I’ve found to actually lower graphics settings in some games simply for using 1080p. A good example is Assassins Creed Odyssey, which looks loads better when your console is set to 4K.Refresh Rate – It’s no joke. For the first time I can be competitive in Halo Infinite on my ROG Ally. Between free sync and 120hz/144hz picture quality matches my Samsung Odyssey G9. (Side note… would be neat to have an 32:9 portable monitor but I can’t imagine that would work without the screen being some sort of foldable)Stand – I read a lot of reviews before purchasing and they must have redone the stand design because it this recent model (As of 3.31.2024) is super sturdy. No separate kick stand you have to carry around- it comes with a long arm that allows you reposition the screen easily depending on the height of the surface the monitor is relative to your eye level.Cables – Includes a USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB Type-A to USB-C cable (which I’ve yet to test), and an HDMI to Mini-HDMI cable. I simply use the USB-C to C cable while connected the Viture USB-C adapter.Warranty – 1 year and can be extended to 2 year with a full refund if issues encountered within 30 days of purchase. If I do have problems I’ll update here if the warranty process is a pain.Cons:Honestly- none so far. It does not have a cover so you’ll want to order the Arzopa sleeve since the screen is otherwise unprotected. But that’s on discount if you purchase the monitor so you can save $4.Overall, this monitor is badass.I will update this review if the device fails or I find issues worth noting. 5 out of 5 stars

This is a fantastic portable monitor. The 2K display is crisp, vibrant, and bright enough for outdoor use. Its slim, compact design and simple USB-C setup make it a sleek, high-quality companion for any laptop.

モバイルモニターを初めて買いましたが、画面がきれいで内蔵スピーカーの音も良く聞こえます。ただ、画面の明るさや音量調整の数値どおりの細かい調整ができないと感じます。特に画面の明るさは、好みの明るさにならず、今は画面に暗めの保護フィルムを貼りましたが、当初はサングラスを使っていました。私はPS1、PS2のモニターに使っているので気になりませんが、リフレッシュレートが60Hzなので、この値にこだわる人は気をつけてください。
