"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."
"Works well with my Steamdeck either with direct USB-C cable or via mini-HDMI + USB-C for power when docked."
"Personally having a screen for the ROG ally is great, I used it both for better visual comfort when I'm at home but also on the move by attaching the screen to the back seat, perfect for trips to be able to watch a film or a small gaming session"

"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."

"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."

"I only wanted it to run a code editor. ... Truly awful washed out colours and poor text definition."
"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."
"The colour isn amazing so if you e doing any design work it wouldn be ideal"

"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."

"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."

"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."

71-HourAhmed 1.0I 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.
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.
AdVisible9726 1.0Ahh thankss I’m using the arzopa z1fc it looks the same and I’m trying to find a stand something like this
Alarming-Art1562 1.0I 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
atadrisque 1.0it's no OLED but it's got 144hz refresh and it's affordable.

bender11 1.0I 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…
BGFreakle 1.0Agree 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.
blackdog606 1.0Arzopa has some good ones I have the z1fc
BlakTouch 1.0I have a z1fc, waiting on the Beast. I think for traveling. XR glasses would be the way to go. Portable monitor is cool but space and mounting options still need to be considered. The portable monitor has a kickstand which is convenient, but then you sacrifice your desk space. Setup and flexibility seems easier with glasses. Now I primarily use my portable monitor as an extension to my music production setup
chaotix2306 1.0I 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
Cheezewiz239 1.0This 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.
