"The Arzopa has usb-c power passhthrough too. So I can use ONE charger connected to the monitor, and then connect the console to the monitor, and the monitor will work AND charge the console at the same time. It's awesome."
"Works well with my Steamdeck either with direct USB-C cable or via mini-HDMI + USB-C for power when docked."
"That Arzopa monitor you have in your thumbnail is one of the only portable monitors which is suitable for passthrough charging and explicitly states it as such - confirmed myself with a wattage reading USB C cable."

"Minipc powers/displays to a monitor via a usb-c. Very convenient and great for a travel setup."
"It's superlight weight, so I used some strong three m3 strips and it's been stable since."
"As a hybrid worker, I find the Arzopa one to be super valuable. ... Goes in a backpack"

"I travel a lot for work and like my setup this way cause I can play like this at the office, hotel rooms, or airports, especially when flights get delayed and im waiting there for hrs, and then I can just switch to handheld whenever I want."

"The Arzopa is better, the Magic Raven's colours look like dropout canvas and the brightness is low."
"The reason is yung Color gamut or sRGB, 100% si Arzopa, meaning complete color sya unlike sa 72% or lower na washout na yung ibang color. ... And since complete color sya, na eenjoy ko pag watch ng movie pag dayoff ko."
"Great color and image quality"

"I only wanted it to run a code editor. ... Truly awful washed out colours and poor text definition."
"the games i play it ends up killing the game due to FPS decrease"
"I don’t know how to enable the 120fps refresh rate. ... When I see the seetings on the monitor, it says it’s on 60hz."

"First the usb stopped working to carry video. Only mini hdmi worked."
"However, with the Switch 2, I can't get it to output video with just USB-C cable. ... I have ARZOPA portable monitor. There's lots of YouTube shorts showing OG Switch/OLED being used with the monitor. Thought it would be the same with Switch 2 but noticed it only works with dock when used with monitor. No USB-C cable only. ... It's not a monitor issue considering you're having issues, I tried on 2 portable monitor and an actual LG UltraFine computer monitor that is USB-C and neither work. It's the Switch 2 and the way it's transmitting video. It seems to require HDMI output. ... The only thing that doesn't seem to work is USB-C to monitor like the OG Switch/OLED. So if you want to connect Switch 2 to a monitor, it requires a dock :("
"If you plan on setting the display to 144hz (or need a stable monitor), you will need to use both USB-C cables and connect each to a power source. ... If for some reason, the monitor boots up but switches to a blank screen, that is an indication of insufficient power and you will need to plug the 2nd USB-C cable to a stable power source."

"I have one, and I like it better than the Arzopa one, which I used to have. Just be careful, they tend to break easily; they're cheap electronics. ... Maybe not that much, but one died in two weeks, after filing a complaint I have another one, so far it's been alive for 2 months, we'll see"
"Same, they are extremely fragile."
"the arzopa I had fell over while I was using it and the screen got busted."

"Then they could not be powered at all, screen would show the azlrla logo and shut off."
"I have an Arzopa monitor and it does not work from the handheld. It needs to be connected to the dock."

I tried a couple of portable monitors and most of them are honestly terrible. Really poor gamut and accuracy. The last one I got was a recommendation from Wire Cutter or somewhere like that and it's decent. Not as good as my high end desktop monitors but reasonably accurate. It was Arzopa 16.1" 144Hz from Amazon. There are some pretty good ones but they are more than double what you're looking to spend. The one I mention is pretty darn decent and less than your price.
r/Monitors • I’m looking for a portable mini monitor with HDMI for my PS3 ->For anyone looking for one of these, most of them have awful color. Very few reviewers actually look at these. The first one I bought said it had 100% sRGB. While I don't have a colorimeter, I assure you it did not. I managed to find a couple of roundups of these things from reputable sources. The good ones cost triple what these things cost and have name brands like Lenovo and Asus. There was one cheap one that has pretty decent color accuracy. I bought it and it's good enough for a road trip without looking washed out: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CH9WTW56](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CH9WTW56) It's fine and around $110 if you have need of one. It's not going to blow your socks off but it doesn't look like crap. You do have to plug in both USB cables if you want full brightness and the 144 Hz or whatever. It will go to like 80% brightness plugged into a Switch or Steam Deck without the additional power of the second USB.
r/Monitors • Don't buy this portable monitor on Amazon. It's fake ->Ahh thankss I’m using the arzopa z1fc it looks the same and I’m trying to find a stand something like this
r/mffpc • Picked up on the magnetic portable monitor + travel pc trend! ->I have a Z1FC. I only got it like 6 months ago but the build quality is great. For such a reasonable price I'm surprised how good it is. It seems like it will last a very long time
r/digitalnomad • How long do Arzopa portable monitors last? ->I have the same monitor! Literally was doing this the other day. Only if the picture quality on the damn thing was better it would be perfect…
r/retroid • Running Switch/Wii U/3DS/PSP/Gamecube games from this tiny device, and connecting it to a USB-C monitor with only ONE cable, seems almost unreal ->Agree with most things here! Great answer. Have the same portable monitor and it works very well if you want something while traveling. At home I use this as well or just my TV (random Samsung TV 50") I started with just one of my Desktop Monitors, but I would recommend a more portable option like the one above.
r/SteamDeck • Best Monitor to Use in Conjunction with Docked Steam Deck? ->Arzopa has some good ones I have the z1fc
r/SteamDeck • Gaming on the go — are portable monitors fast enough? ->I just received my arzopa z1fc for my Switch 2 and it’s pretty cool (purchased for multiplayer gaming in vacation). But, I don’t know how to enable the 120fps refresh rate. When I see the seetings on the monitor, it says it’s on 60hz. I bought a Ugreen cable that should enable the 120fps
r/NintendoSwitch2 • Is the monitor like this going to work with the Switch 2? ->I use the Arzopa 16.1" 144hz portable monitor as my daily at home and if I take it to go. Has been great, uses mini-HDMI and 2 x USD-C 3.1. It's been great but I run into an issue relating to power delivery when running at high brightness and high refresh rate but I think it's something relating to my motherboard (BD790i SE) rather than the monitor. Still recommend!
r/sffpc • Does anyone here use a portable monitor as their main display in their non-portable setup? ->This one's the best bang for buck monitor that I found. https://a.co/d/7cGUtg4 there's also an OLED monitor out there for around $250 if you have the budget.
r/ROGAlly • Monitor suggestions? ->Yes it is, I got it on Amazon for 100 bucks yesterday. I thought that I’d need a dock and bought one as well but the monitor will charge the Ally at 25w if you plug the second usb-c into the 65w ROG battery
r/ROGAlly • Arzopa is a game changer ->I got the 1080p 144hz Z1FC no issues at all the monitor will charge the Ally at 25w which is enough to sustain the battery during gameplay/task.. The speakers on the monitor aren’t the best. However I haven’t had any issues thus far
r/ROGAlly • Arzopa is a game changer ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
