"The Arzopa is better, the Magic Raven's colours look like dropout canvas and the brightness is low."
"Picture is extremely clear"
"In terms of color reproduction, maganda, hindi masyado nag ddeviate sa gamit ko for editing. Hindi oversaturated, hindi rin washed ung dating ng images."

"Been using it for almost 3 years na as my secondary monitor sa work, then as my NSW monitor naman pag magttravel pa probinsya, monitor pag naka DeX or Claw pag nagccamping. ... So far, 0 issues."
"It works with iPhone and iPad too, only using the included USB C cable."
"Works great for me since I was looking at getting one for my laptop when I travel for work and for my steam deck."

"Some of these monitors have power pass through. So you connect your steam deck charger to the monitor, and then connect monitor to steam deck with 2nd usbc cable. Steam deck charges and monitor runs just fine. ... I have the Arzopa z1rc, very pleased with it."
"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."
"it has 2 mini-USB ports, one of which can connect to the Deck and the other can hook up to a charger. No need for a dock."

"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."

"Brightness, not so good. While hindi naman reflective ung display, I can't consider it to be usable pag nasa may window ka banda naka set. Kakainin ng sunlight ung liwanag nya."
"Truly awful washed out colours"
"The HDR is mediocre."

"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 :("
"You can't power the ARZOPA from the dock itself. Just imagine the portable monitor still being your normal TV. it will still require its own power source. ... Even if you connect USB-C power adapter to monitor to power the monitor and other USB-C port on monitor to dock, its not enough to power as the monitor can't output the minimum 60W that the Switch 2 requires."
Bronyslaw 1.0Also Arzopa like OP. I've got the Z1RC but there are a range of other models varying in size, resolution and refresh rate. https://global.arzopa.com/products/arzopa-z1rc-2k-portable-monitor-brilliant-qhd-500nits-8bit-display
Candid_Difference918 1.0I´m using an arzopa z1rc with my base model m4 mini. It just needs to connect the usb c cable to one of the TB4 ports in the back of the mini to work. I have no issues at all.

goomyjet 1.0Op 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?
GroggInTheCosmos 1.0I bought myself the 16" Arzopa Z1RC and for the price it's a remarkable addition to my setup
hungrykoreanguy 1.0I have the 1080p but this is decent deal https://a.co/d/0bjJYQCe
icanseeyourpantsuu 1.0I also have the Arzopa Z1RC. Camera bags were too expensive for me so I bought a knockoff pelican case instead tho i'm trying to sell it cos i rehoused my setup to a sub-3L case after that. All of these fit in my Black Diamond STreet Creek 24L backpack: SFF PC Arzopa Z1RC Eweadn Tank 68 Crack edition(very heavy mind u) Beyer dt 880 14inch laptop mouse usb hub dji mic I'm also looking at a hardshell type bag. check out the company called Bange Their are also chinese knockoffs for them that offers more capacity.
Individual_Cress_226 1.0I have had a few. Had a couple Asus models, when my last ones screen cracked during travel I bought the ARZOPA 16" 2.5K Portable Monitor, 2560x1600. It’s cheaper and better quality than the Asus. Just wish it came with a protective cover, but am using the old Asus one.
keepdying 1.0I have Arzopa Z1RC (similar specs to yours but 60hz) and I love it. Its dimension perfectly matches with my Macbook Pro 16”. I generally use my Macbook with stand and I put the monitor above keyboard so It stays below the Macbook’s display. To correct the angle I made some supports from paper towels to put between the monitor and the speakers. Power usage is around 5-8w depending on brightness level https://preview.redd.it/82ff2ei6nxgg1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d186500ca2321a61a82cc75db08b5f558bb5d424
Mediocre_Ad3496 1.0I returned an Azorpa same experience compared to my Samsung amoleds. I have a couple of Innocn oleds that look very similar to my Samsungs. The 13.3 are about $100, the 15.6 $150. You can't correct that monitor to get even close.
MightBeUnsure 1.0Update. I’m always anal about best bang for buck and eventually got the Arzopa Z1RC. It’s 16inch 2.5k 60hz. Available on Aliexpress for roughly €100 but I wanted it sooner so bought it through the Arzopa website with their starter discount code to total €142. Monitor arrived today and I am really impressed with the build quality. Picture is extremely clear and it’s working as expected.
