ARZOPA - 16" 2.5K Portable Monitor - Z1RC

Also 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

I´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.

Yes, good price/features ratio. It was the only 2.5 K monitor in their price range (Others were only FHD). The only caveat is that it has an arm stand, but it doesn't include a sleeve bag or hard case. It works with iPhone and iPad too, only using the included USB C cable.

Arzopa Z1RC

2.5K! It's crisp as hell and comes color accurate out of the box. Arzopa Z1RC - Can't recommend enough especially at the price point.

I have one. Need to buy another on though. It's a great monitor

Yes I also have one! You can even charge the deck over a second USB c connector on the monitor. Tiny built in dock.

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. Only gripe is poor sound quality from speakers, but nothing head phones won’t fix!

have the same issue with amd13 and arzopa portable monitor type-c does not provide dp and power at the same time, so i have to use second port (usb-a) for powering the monitor. very uncomfortable indeed to have this, while single type-c connection works perfectly fine with macbook pro (2020 intel)

I need to travel soon, and saw this as a perfect opportunity to finally get a Framework 16. I like/need a 3 monitor setup, so I picked up some portable monitors ([ARZOPA 16" 2.5K Portable Monitor](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CH9XR3G4)). These little things are great on my desktop and with my phone. So it came as a surprise when they didn't work with the USB C ports on the FW. A few google searches shows I'm not alone in this issue. The display works if I connect to the single USB C port in the back of the GPU expansion card, but not at full brightness. I can also get them to work via a USB C dongle and HDMI, using an aditional USB A cable from the dongle to power the display. This is really dissapointing, and I'm not sure I would of even gone for this setup if I had to deal with more dongles and cables. My questions are if anyone's had success with USB C portable monitors with similar specs, or if anyone has any dongle or cable recommendations that will still let me use just 1 cable for each monitor. --- Returned the monitors. Got a [UPERFECT 2K 120Hz Portable Gaming Monitor](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHNLZCNF) that seems to work fine with the Cable Matters TB4 cable I got. You get a warning about providing aditional power, but I haven't had any issues with just the one cable connected to the FW16.

I’m using the Arzopa Z1RC monitor along with the Logitech K380 keyboard and the Logitech Pebble 2 M350S mouse. All of it fits perfectly into a slim laptop bag, and I got the full setup for under €200! I also carry an Anker 7-in-1 hub just in case I need it.

I got the arzopa portable monitor for like $85 of their website it’s 16inchs and it’s amazing

I run a UM790pro and 16in arzopa, 1080p, 144hz monitor. Minipc powers/displays to a monitor via a usb-c. Very convenient and great for a travel setup. The frame gen of the 780m helps push refresh rate higher in games like cyberpunk for example.

my arzopa was 80 € and it has.

The Arzopa is the best but if on the budget pwede na ung sa goojodoq or uperfect.

Second this one, I have the same brand. The colour isn’t amazing so if you’re doing any design work it wouldn’t be ideal but otherwise it’s perfect. Great value for money

I had the same monitor, it fell over and broke :( It was really good and I’m not saying it’s poor quality or anything.

personally, I choose Arzopa and I am using it. If you just watch videos and do simple work daily, both brands of portable monitors would meet your needs. If you have any more professional needs, such as gaming/image editing/video editing/coding etc., or have such professional needs in the future, surely choose a more professional portable screen brand: Arzopa, that is a professional portable monitor brand. in appreance, arzopa's products look simple, elegant and fashionable, if you take it on the go, it suits for all style outfit.

I literally just got one of these from AliExpress today. Found it through a Spain based seller for £75 and it’s an absolutely awesome piece of kit.

Looks similar to the Arzopa one that seems fairly common (I have one myself). Hard to say what the quality of this one is, but I'm sure it'll be fine. Worst case, you get it and hate the thing... so you just return it and try something else :)

I am using Arzopa as my second screen for my beelink.. the one with 2k resolution.. so far its good

I got an Arzopa monitor on Amazon for about $65 and it works great. I’m not sure on the display specs as I use my MacBook for visual editing/graphics and the second for email/text.

Same, they are extremely fragile. I tried to get the panel model number from Arzopa to order a replacement and fix it but they were useless.

i have an arzopa portable monitor. Its fine and gets the job done. its like $60 on amazon

Check Amazon for the Arzopa monitors. Those are the way to go. About 70.00 and work great.

I have an arzopa I think it’s called. I got it as a budget test to see if I would use it and could justify the ASUS price. I never needed to upgrade as it actually works very well even for gaming albeit at 60fps max. I’m normally quite fussy about my parts and will happily spend big but I will be honest - I think this market is full of frauds and overpriced kit.

You'll want one with pass through charging, otherwise you won't be able to keep your deck charged while the monitor is connected via the usb-c port. Also check reviews for complaints about brightness. A lot of random amazon ones are so dim they're unusable in daylight. [RedditRecs](https://redditrecs.com/categories/portable-monitor/) has a list of models ranked by aggregated reviews from reddit. The top arzopa is a good option and has quite a few happy steam deck users.

I have the same one! Bought it from a friend for $40 when it didn’t serve its purpose for him any longer. Works great for me since I was looking at getting one for my laptop when I travel for work and for my steam deck. I’ve been using it mostly for Wii U emulation, it’s awesome! https://preview.redd.it/y63uwripz3re1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=17ad5cd5e4de59b921cd5579f4796611fe15381b

I don't think so. I've bought almost every portable screen on the market for work a few months ago (they're still at home.) I've had both the Magic Raven and the arzopa's. The Arzopa is better, the Magic Raven's colours look like dropout canvas and the brightness is low. If you're just looking at documents, it doesn't make much difference.

For the review that nobody asked for... below is my pro & cons to of two portable monitors. I needed a portable monitor for a non-gaming reason and bought two candidates and returned the other. I didn't buy it just for the Ally X but it's nice to have. Figured that this may help anybody who may be considering two cheap'ish portable monitors. I returned the Arzopa and kept the Uperfect.

Great fan of Arzopa myself. Really goes great with SteamDeck

The display itself comes with a few USB-C cables, a miniHDMI>HDMI adapter and a kickstand. It’s incredibly light (lighter than an iPad). Since I have a lot of MagSafe accessories around the house, I stuck a MagSafe to the back of it and can “snap” it everywhere it’s compatible. When not using this as a steam deck monitor, I connect it to my PC and use it for discord since it has the easy kickstand. I don’t know, it was $90 and I bought it like 90 days ago and have used it everyday. My girlfriend even laughed when I brought it to the living room with a usbc power brick. Also sorry, this isn’t an ad for that brand exclusively - I’m just saying if you’re on the fence for a cheap little “throw in a bag” screen - find one on sale and get it.

I have the same screen. The HDR is mediocre. But the normal display mode is really good. Gets bright too. Nothing too special but it is a nice screen.

Interesting, glad I went for the Arzopa then. Thanks for the info.

Ano mas mahal compared kay Arzopa? KAsi mukang from the same factory lang naman sila then nilalagyan na lang ng company brandings. dun ka na lang sa mas mura. I got the Arzopa btw. Got it 3 days ago and no issues so far. For rto use lang if maubusan ng desk na may external montor.

I had ASUS MB16ACE for couple months, and the screen is cracked when I put it in a suitcase. Now I am using ARZOPA, cheaper, own stand, and bigger screen 17.3''. Honestly, I adjust the brightness on14/100 for an indoor setting and it is already bright enough for me. Same for ASUS, I dont see the brightness would be an issue, can work well both indoor and outdoor. The only difference I found is the ASUS i used had audio. But I enjoyed my laptop Dolby audio, so i dont mind that no audio with ARZOPA.

I also have an Arzopa portable monitor, but I have it to the side in portrait mode. It's mounted with some brackets I 3D printed to attach it directly to the side of my ultrawide. Works like a charm.

I absolutely hate using my laptop, so I have a home set-up where I use two big monitors instead. I bought a portable Arzopa monitor (on Amazon) for times when I am traveling because the only thing I can’t stand more than a laptop screen is *one* screen. It’s a game changer for me, makes the laptop tolerable when I have no other option. I only spent $60 on it, have had it for over a year now and no complaints.

That's interesting, I have 2 docks (Original one and ugreen), I get the steam deck and monitor to work but not the arzopa one as a 3 monitor. Maybe I dunno how the cables work. The Arzopa one works without my main monitor

I actually bought my innoview because the arzopa I had fell over while I was using it and the screen got busted. Small world

I use the ARZOPA Portable Monitor, on Amazon for £120, would recommend

Can confirm that Arzopa is decent

I have this one and it works great. The best part about it is that 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.

they're a dime a dozen, but really I think any of those chinese 15.6" monitors work fine and dandy - I ended up getting two, a ARZOPA portable monitor and then an ASUS ZenScreen 15.6" I prefer the ARZOPA over the Asus. ARZOPA (or any of those crazy sounding companies) have usb-c and hdmi input, which is a plus. Other things I bought that I found kinda useful: \- Portable monitor stand: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2YCT3V7?ref=fed\_asin\_title](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D2YCT3V7?ref=fed_asin_title) \- Super portable laptop stand: [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2WMTWTD?ref=fed\_asin\_title](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2WMTWTD?ref=fed_asin_title) The ASUS I thought was gonna be handy with the threaded 1/4-20 on the back to mount with tripods and stuff, but it doesn't work since the thread mount is so shallow that the monitor just spins on most mounts/not deep enough to "lock in" unless you have the ability to shorten the thread length (like on a cold shoe mount or something).

If I place it directly on the side of the case it’s a perfect fit but I wanted a bit of airflow.

I got the same one with a Ivanky dock but every time I plug it in both screens on my monitor and ally go black. Are you using a 100w block? Cause I'm using the power brick that came with the rog ally. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Also are you getting 30w?
