"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."


"Minipc powers/displays to a monitor via a usb-c. Very convenient and great for a travel setup."

"those setups also lack many of the convenience features that attracted me to this headset in the first place (numerous connectivity options and multipoint device connectivity is important for me because I WFH and this headset does double duty as my work headset and used for playing games on both PC and my Switch.)"


"Actually I love them so much I bought monitor stands and vesa brackets for them to use them when i’m home too."

"I ordered a WAYB Pico travel car seat full price ($400 USD) at the end of Jan 2025. They sent me a car seat that was manufactured in 2023. ... Of course I don expect a car seat manufactured yesterday; but typically car seats that have been manufactured OVER A YEAR ago are discounted and not full price. ... There s no disclosure about this on their website, and the response is basically oo bad so sad . ... So - for a 7 year life of the car seat, you may get a car seat that already has lost 1/4 or 1/5 of its life expectancy before you even get it. ... I feel very duped, like - I get that Amazon and other discount sellers may have older unused car seats that they sell for a discount - but this was a full price car seat that shouldn be more than a couple months past manufacture date. Unacceptable. ... The fact the company responded to me and is fine with selling these seats from two years ago I just think is deceptive, functionally the seat is fine but for the price I wanted to let other parents know they may have a seat with 1/4 of the life expectancy gone before they get it!"


"Sadly it is really expensive. ... There was no way I could stomach getting it at full price especially knowing that it would ONLY be used for travel? ... The calculation of cost-per-use made my head spin. ... do not wait until you need it, and then get saddled with paying $400 πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«."


"dang is it expensive ... at the time it was too much money"

"Kung gusto mo lang ng basic, reliable screen for office, presentations, at okay ka sa 60Hz, ok din si ZenScreen ... Kung gusto mo ng smoother display for gaming or just better scrolling experience, [Z1FC] na. ... yung pinakagusto ko is yong 144Hz na sobrang noticeable talaga."


"Only thing that somewhat annoys me is that it's only 1080p60 ... I would focus more on the resolution, even if I had to go with some random Amazon brand. ... I feel it would be better for me if it had a larger resolution."

"I love mine, but recently I found out it won't play full HD content from one particular platform because it isn't HDCP compliant. A big blow. ... There is no HDMI, just a USB Micro B. ... Fine for YouTube, Netflix and Amazon but for this one platform - Stan (in Australia) - it just won't. ... I got it long before Stan acquired the English Premier League (my sole reason for having the subscription!!). ... So now I need to buy a new one with HDMI."

Asus ZenScreen. I'm selling mine if you happen to be in New York (I went up to an 18"), although it's LED and 1080. No reason why you'd need 4k resolution on a 16".

I love mine, but recently I found out it won't play full HD content from one particular platform because it isn't HDCP compliant. A big blow. There is no HDMI, just a USB Micro B. Fine for YouTube, Netflix and Amazon but for this one platform - Stan (in Australia) - it just won't. I have an Asus ZenScreen but not a high-end one, and I got it long before Stan acquired the English Premier League (my sole reason for having the subscription!!). Perfect for everything else, just not this. So now I need to buy a new one with HDMI. I've gone for an ARZOPA A1. Arrives tomorrow. Just something to consider when checking the specs..

I used to use a ZenScreen but somewhere along the way I stopped using it. Don't know why to be honest

Op nag portable monitor din ako and 2 weeks ago lang ako nag research. Lumalabas na ang maganda ngayon na pwede sa shopee ay Arzopa Z1RC. Ang original plan ko ay yung Asus zenscreen pero sa specs daw sabi sa research ko di sya competitive sa price at ngayong 2025. Ang isa ko pang tinignan ay si AOC. Touch screen sya pero below specs din kay Z1RC. Si Z1RC more on productivity, meron syang counterpart sa Arzopa nakalimutan ko yung model. Anyway few things to ask lang Saan mo gagamitin? Oo like pairing sa gaming rig pero like what exactly? Supported ba ng pc mo yung USB A to C? If sa GPU mo isa lang ang HDMI mo kailangan mo ng converter. Anong device pang gagamit mo?

Kung gusto mo ng smoother display for gaming or just better scrolling experience, [Z1FC](https://s.shopee.ph/8zvatXbarM) na. Kung gusto mo lang ng basic, reliable screen for office, presentations, at okay ka sa 60Hz, ok din si ZenScreen, pero ayon nga lang medyo pricey. Ako personally, Z1FC talaga yong mas sulit since budget friendly siya, magaan din, and yung pinakagusto ko is yong 144Hz na sobrang noticeable talaga.

I’ve had good luck with the Asus ZenScreen. It’s light, durable, and the image quality is great for work on the road. Worth the investment, in my opinion.
