ARZOPA - 16.1'' 144Hz Z1FC

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.

Arzopa 144hz 16inch monitor. It’s clutch cuz I can fit this monitor + ally x + dock + keyboard/mouse easily in a 16inch laptop bag. Can set up a mobile desktop PC wherever I want. Eventually going to add a OneXGPU for better performance. I also work remote and plan to use the monitor as a mobile work station as well which more than justifies the $100 spent on it. As someone that can only play FPS on keyboard mouse, I have to give myself that option in a handheld 🤷‍♂️

Why take 2k! 1080p is more than enough for the rog ally. 120-144hz 1080p freesync premium... 2k is useless on the rog. Imagine upscaling 720p or 900p to 2k... It will be horrible. And 1080p on 2k is blurry and ugly.  I use an arzopa z1fc, the problem is that some units do not have freesync in the menu while CRU confirms freesync.. and others have the freesync menu

I have arzopa z1fc and it is quite good

Honestly it looks quite light yet sturdy. Can send you a few pics if you want. A lot of info on arzopa on reddit if you want :) Btw it is most of the time on sale on Amazon so do never buy it full price ^^

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!

I just did order the arzopa z1fc looks a better bet.

Ito rin pinagpipilian ko before. I bought Arzopa Z1FC, 144Hz. 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. Gusto ko rin yung backstand nya which is very sturdy. No problem naman connecting it to my company laptop (USB C connection only, no need for power adapter), plug and play lang. Compatible din sa Samsung dex. And since complete color sya, na eenjoy ko pag watch ng movie pag dayoff ko. Nabili ko sakin sa tiktok shop, slightly lowered ang price dun around 5,500

Hi, I just bought the Z1FC, which has the same inputs. Just to make sure, you can run a power cord from the wall into the monitor, then another USBC-USBC cord to the deck, and it will charge both the monitor AND Steamdeck using pass through? If this is the case I assume you could run both indefinitely?

I have an Arzopa one (I'm using it right now while commenting your post) 1920x1080 @ 144 hz & 16 inches Paid something like 64 € .......... The best thing I ever got from Aliexpress, try to look for that brand they have different models and size or just take a look to reviews on youtube.

You are very welcome, here's the exact model I got : **ARZOPA 16.1'' 144Hz 1080P FHD Portable Gaming Monitor HDR** Oh and it's HDR by the way, great colors (not the best but for what I paid for and the weight I won't complain) I just checked the price on my AliExpress dashboard, paid exactly 66 €

I use the Arzopa Z1FC 1080p 144HZ. 16.1 inch display

Got this panel too, mostly to use with my other laptop but tried with the Ally X. Took me awhile, and a lot of cables, to get this to work with the Ally X. Plugging in a single USB C cable didn't work (as explained earlier). Tried to plug in USB into a power brick & USB-C into Ally X and no luck. Finally, I ended up using a USB-C hub that has HDMI output to get this to work. Kludgy but works. Good screen quality but speakers suck, but just changed sound output to Ally X. What's weird but my laptop I can just use a single USB C cord and it works perfectly. Not sure why the laptop works with a single cord while the Ally X takes a hub plus two cables.

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.

i use this one and it's great [Arzopa Z1FC 144Hz Portable Gaming Monitor | 16.1" Screen](https://www.arzopa.com/products/z1fc-16-1-fhd-144hz-portable-monitor)

yes, you just need to lower the brightness but i wouldn't recommend it since the battery won't last long. i use a hub to have everything powered

no, the default ally charger

I am using Arzopa 16in 144hz

most people wil reccomned you ar glasses and while those are great, the best portable monitor i can reccomned is either the Arzopa G1 or the Arzopa Z1FC (they're exactly the same they just had to change the name so it depends on which one youll find)

I got the monitor and it works great on gdmi. However it doesn't seem to work usb c to usb c. Can somebody else confirm?

Tragic. Tried the cable the x came with and it didn't work either. So you may need to do hdmi. No 1 cable solution :(

I plan on using the Ally as a laptop replacement so I got a monitor and figured I'd say how it goes on the plane. With 0 tweaks and turbo mode I was able to get a solid hour thirty minutes of 60fps gameplay. Just enough for my flight. This is without any charging outlet, and required a 2 cable solution. USB c for power from the X to the monitor, and a USB c hub connected with hdmi to hdmi. This monitor is currently on sale on amazon as well. ARZOPA 16.1'' 144Hz Portable... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CH9WTW56?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Quality is really good imo. It's 1080p ips so it's not going to blow your mind but your games will look good. Higher demanding games like fallen order won't look at good on a bigger screen but less demanding games you can run on higher levels will look solid.

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 16in 1080p, 144hz arzopa monitor is pretty good. I got it direct from them for $100. The quality surprised me, as it looks quite good playing cyberpunk, and I didn't touch any of the settings. It's another monitor posted here frequently.

I have the B118 model (its like the K118, but with higher max brightness and lower response rate), and it works well for gaming. The 1600p resolution on a larger 18" display looks good. Unless you need the touchscreen or a smaller size monitor, I would go for the K118/B118 model. Btw, if you are going to travel frequently with the PC system, the larger 18" display may be a little more challenging to fit in a backpack. In such situations, you might look at 15.6" or 16" displays instead. Personally I use the B118 as a desktop display (its a 2nd monitor for one of my PCs)... while my travel SFF setup uses a 16" Arzopa 1080p 144Hz portable monitor (fits into my backpack, and the system can maintain higher fps at 1080p too).

Yeah, the display quality and reliability can differ greatly between various models from the different brands. I've ordered really low quality displays from random aliexpress brands which had poor colors too, had to go through some trial and error to get the good ones. Sometimes it's about luck too... just whether you receive a good or bad lemon unit. I'm currently using an Arzopa 16" 1080p 144hz (Z1FC) portable monitor for my travel SFF PC setup and its been working well for the past 6+ months... good vibrant colors and fast response rate for gaming, no issues so far. I also have a Uperfect 18" 2K/1600p 144hz (B118) as a secondary display for my desktop system, and it works well too.

Here is my current SFF Travel PC setup: https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/s/9yDbE2aLBM My SFF Travel PC backpack: https://www.reddit.com/r/sffpc/s/D3nnA0EcHM I use a 16" Arzopa portable monitor (1080p/144Hz), Royal Kludge RK61 keyboard, and Razor Basilisk x Hyperspeed mouse.

I've had a mix of experiences with Uperfect monitors... they are generally good monitors and cheap, but due to the wide range of models, the listed specs from online resellers tend to be either outdated or for a different model (many of them just cut and paste the info). So you have to check very clearly the exact model and specs (make sure to check the purchased reviews with photos to verify the correct models), before ordering. That being said, out of the 3 Uperfect monitors I have ordered so far, 2 were good while 1 was not good. The not good one was due to the reseller on Amazon listing it as 100% sRGB, but turns out it was an older model with 72% sRGB, so it was an issue with the reseller posting the wrong listed specs. Luckily I was able to return and refund it. The 2 good ones I got were the K118 and B118 models (18", 2K,144hz, 100% DCI-P3). They worked nicely with bright vibrant colors, and I've been using them with various setups for the past year. Another brand I had good experience with is Arzopa... I am currently using the Z1FC model (16", 1080p, 144hz, 100% sRGB) for my travel setup, as it is compact enough to fit in my backpack along with the SFF case. I got it a while back on flash choice sale from Aliexpress for only $70. These brands and monitors can go for crazy low prices during flash sales, so do keep a look out for good deals. Some of the factors which probably explains their low prices, is the panels usually aren't the latest and greatest tech (but still good enough), less features, limited warranty support since they only have online presence, and they don't need to spend millions on advertising, hence the cheaper prices. As always, when buying cheaper products, it's a risk you have to take, it can be good or bad depending on your luck. It's a compromise when buying items which are 3-4x cheaper when compared to the big brand models. The usual buyer mentality is that even if it breaks after a year, just buy another one, since it's cheap. 😄

Did a bunch of research bc I also needed a portable monitor. In the end I didn't see myself spending more than 300 bucks on the asus rog so I tried the arzopa 16 inch 1080p 144hz and its pretty good, got myself the arzopa foldable stand, a generic non brand macbook 16 bag and some 180° Mini hdmi and type c adapters and my travel setup was complete.

What I like about it the most is that I just run two cables to my sff pc and the pc ofc only has 1 3m cable going into the wall, so the setup is super flexible.

Arzopa 16 inch 1080p 144hz + arzopa stand Cherry MX LP 2.1 keyboard Endgame gear op1we mouse Steelseries Arctis Nova 7 Headset Gulikit King Kong 2 pro controller Any small mousepad All this + my 3,6L custom pc with r5 5600/rtx 4060lp fits in my rolltop backpack. Such a great little setup to visit friends and staying in hotels for work sometimes.

It's an Arzopa portable monitor from Amazon

Monitor is portable arzopa from [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/ARZOPA-Portable-Kickstand-External-Switch-Z1FC/dp/B0CH9WTW56/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=192TCK67O1XAE&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.P9XX_s_HaVBpmdBs0GUh0KSu2KKEH-UHL7W5fk4L3pGNSTtYFs3T7FqRqudoq3nKOYeihUy7t-MZnvv61fa-IopWWlzt25PjETB7QSOBxcG_LZtNxoGym7KlSRobheNGK5JnOdFH-hA8q5KyWa6X7IEqUc84Y1cZZbNROwgoAs8TvO84C3GGa7nVQpd2LZgTX1l4mwrqkCGGM6pTu8Ozxg.rgx4mEKTKLhQZ2WT8EyoTYjw-av6raJikFFC1zgs1l4&dib_tag=se&keywords=arzopa+z1fc&qid=1730381345&sprefix=arzopa+z%2Caps%2C190&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1), And stand is Ugreen iPad stand from [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Adjustable-Multi-Angle-Universal-Compatible/dp/B0BWRX3WH3/ref=mp_s_a_1_14?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.rqLq3VpzCyKLggM8Utv4nnUufspJ8saq0RuXaWfbTQo0xsswqjo161syvjVbpaQHN3J-aA4vrTZjEWEKSTWJx-Mal825u8wFGTiJdkCarfdYYNAHEiyaI6rmi0E57r5EDmtPJefD2--lFHt6F5EsAnn-SAfkUseSd586MMc4vf8wQLmcuJiT0LdTXbiju0teSMnQZmveU3qsjABrAh4zdg.d0ejUxLDcx1XFtCWa5-RKQMuvzrCpnJ_MZmzmikZwSM&dib_tag=se&keywords=Ugreen+iPad+stand&qid=1730381199&sr=8-14)

ARZOPA Z1FC, it often drops down to \~$100. I bought one in December and I am very happy with it. The power from my Surface Pro 9 is plenty for it. Just plus usbc from Surface to monitor and that's it. Comes with cables.

ARZOPA Z1FC, dirt cheap, usb power, good specs. I have never had an issue with Windows splitting out different settings for monitors.

I made a post about this monitor a few days ago.. it’s great but doesn’t work with a single usbc cable.. I’m fine with that though.. playing in 144hz 😀 https://preview.redd.it/nj9pzasur2hd1.jpeg?width=5712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2444efb146c01a952d48bce4dadee7f64e285957

if its the color range it says it is, its not amazing Color Gamut: NTSC: 45% size (Typ) sRGB: 64% size (Typ) i have this other portable screen [ARZOPA 16.1'' 144Hz Portable Gaming Monitor, 106% sRGB 1080P FHD ](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0CH9WTW56/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?psc=1) and its pretty nice to look at and use, and currently $144 with 10% off.

i like it. i think 16 is a good size to game on up close. maybe could have been brighter since i was playing outside, but whatever its a $150 screen and thats my own manufactured problem anyway for gaming on a sunny day. it only draws 9W so you can power it off of a portable phone bank. (the power station here was for the laptop in behind it.) https://i.imgur.com/IAmUKGC.jpeg comes with a usb C/C mini hdmi to full hdmi and usb A. Display over C works but it was finnicky and i preferred mini hdmi. i did not see any sort of ghosting or tearing. it felt and looked nice to play with. good product.

https://i.imgur.com/sObLMWX.jpeg one from the day I unboxed it. ya np good products are nice to own. It's certainly sufficient indoors and easy to power. Lemme know what you think of it out of curiosity for another owners standpoint

But what made you keep it? I have the Arzopa Z1FC and the Uperfect you have, and the Arzopa with HDR enabled has much better picture quality. I do miss it's not 2K but at this moment, I'm strugging wether to keep FHD with better picture quality or 2K with a bit worse picture quality. Really it's too noticeable. I have a Mac Book Pro and it really comes much close in colors than the Uperfect.

I'm in Europe so the first suggestion wasn't available for me to buy I went for this one: https://www.amazon.com.be/-/nl/Z1FC-Draagbare-IPS-monitor-monopod-ondersteuning-draagbaar/dp/B0CJCBQYDY/ref=asc_df_B0CJCBQYDY/?tag=begogshpads0a-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=656821359743&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=4972977302654645826&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1001021&hvtargid=pla-2288286062844&psc=1&mcid=a20ba53a457e31dcb27987d38c65c71c

I read them (first filtering on the 'work' option) but then realised I just wanted an all round good screen that wasn't too expensive since it's temporary. That made the third option a good one.

Have you decided yourself yet? Seems to me that Arzopa has better quality. But they have very few options and non of the too-good-to-be-true products like the other brands. I mean other brands have those very tempting products like 2.5 K, 144 Hz touchscreen portable monitor. But the horror stories in some reviews about defective units from these brands are worrying.

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.

Fwiw I recently did an [analysis aggregating reviews from reddit](https://redditrecs.com/portablemonitors/?subm_id=1eekvui) and this one (Z1FC) came as 2nd place. 1st place went to a uperfect 2k 120hz (i think the model is c2?) Personally i'd go for the uperfect because its 400 nits and a lot of these portable monitors are not very bright. I bought one random chinese one before without paying attention to the brightness and it was unusable in daylight.

I bought Arzopa for like 95 eur shipping included and it claims that is at 144 hz, and it really works like a charm for the bucks...

We have 2 of those 1080p versions + 2 steam decks as setup for exhibiting our game at conventions, super portable, and during off event times I use them at the office :)

Got the 144hz 1080p one. It's great for the price and was essentially my 2nd screen for remote work for awhile until I upgraded. Now it's pretty much just for the deck when I want a bigger screen. Not a fan of hooking the deck up to 65 inch TVs games look like shit upscaled on them. These small monitors are perfect.

Seconding this one. It’s a great portable monitor. Can run overwatch on low settings at 120fps on it too.

Arzopa sells a small monitor for like 60/70 bucks. I have the high refresh one just cuz but if it’s just for side tasks then it’s amazing

I’ve had the 1080p 144hz one for 6 months, and it is just incredible. I can highly recommend. I love gaming on the deck directly, but for longer sessions this larger display and the PS4 controller are essential for my hand comfort. Also, I use it as a second display for my MacBook when I travel, using the same short USB C cable I use for connecting it to the deck.

i have the "1080p 144hz version" and its a nice monitor but tbh its to big for my use and the games i play it ends up killing the game due to FPS decrease . So my plan back fired :p

I have 144 Hz 1080p Arzopa monitor and I like it very much, works well with my Steam Deck and Switch

It is great, but wish it had Audio Out port. But for the price it is really great!

I bought the 1080p model, so maybe thats why it doesnt have it.

I’ve got the 144hz Arzopa, it’s pretty great for playing games off my steam deck or as a portable monitor for my desktop when my good monitor is at my dorm. Very pleased with it, looks great and is quite bright

At some point, i got the xr glasses it was great for media, but it was not so good for games due to the corner blurryness . Now ingot the arzopa screen with 144 hz, i think. It is a great device with good building quality and power through (charger to display and from display to ally). So far, only the speakers are a bit meh. If i had a second chance again, i would stick with the display. I love my ally for it's compatibility and if i need something bigger, i go with the display. When im in the office, i just plug it into the display of my desk. When i travel and im in a lounge or a big flight, i use my display . Some games are playing better with keyboard and mouse and others with the controller.

I connected my new gaming monitor to my PS5 and played a little Final Fantasy Rebirth. Graphics look amazing on this portable monitor.

I've tried it and it doesn't have enough power delivery. You need to power it up using power brick for it to work best.

It works great!

I have the same

Arzopa makes great portable monitors. Lightweight, thin, good build quality. I got the 1080p for my deck and used for long time until I upgraded my gaming laptop.

I have the same one, its great at 1080p 120fps streaming from my PC too

my arzopa was 80 € and it has.

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

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 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.

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

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.

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.

Can confirm that Arzopa is decent

https://preview.redd.it/vtx1njbq6tqd1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd7a871a4d69a678e890c808d3c6609ceba7b42f I use the magnets on the back of the Arzopa monitor to have it stick to the case lol. 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?
