ARZOPA S1
TL;DR: Single-cable budget option; but fragile screen, inaccurate colors.

I'm using Arzopa 2k 15.6" 60Hz with my MB pro M3. What I love the most is that I do not need an external power source. Although what I might suggest is taking the 144Hz 1080P, as I am not using the full resolution. 15.6" is too small for 2K.

r/digitalnomadWhat portable monitor do you use?

Ya, what would you like to know? See below a link to the one i bought. It works awesome and is so easy to use and travel with, i use a single usb-c to usb-c to plug into my macbook and it works no problem. The case also folds into a stand, so that solves 2 problems for me, an easy to pack stand, and a cover so it doesn’t get scratched. https://a.co/d/2pRJjSL

I use arzopa s1 portable monitor, 1080p, 300 nits, good collors, has speakers, metal body, no 3,5mn jack. 2usb c, mini hdmi. Package includes 2 type c cables, mini hdmi to full size, power is trough type c and wideo trough hdmi or 2nd c. 15,6 inch size. Perfectly good for retro gaming for my og xbox. Only wish it had 3,5mm jack. I tried a 3,5 to c dongle but no joy.

r/digitalnomadTraditional Monitor vs. Portable Monitor

I bought the 15.6" Arzopa, decent enough screen and came with 3 separate cables which was good. Also it was handy to have a built in kick stand. It can be powered & connected with a single usbc cable which is an advantage over a regular monitor. I didn't however feel safe just throwing it in my bag like you can with a laptop and couldn't find a good case that would be compatible, so didn't end up taking it with me regularly. I found myself getting used to just using one screen to be honest. Even though I normally use 3 screens in my home office...

My arzopa 15.6” is fine with most USB ports on desktop PCs. You’re asking about USB 5v power therefore you should be talking about power not USB 3 which is a data spec.

Got the same Amazon arzopa. I haven’t been using it for the last six weeks of Portugal in the second bedroom. This is my third time using it for extended stay. Works well for me tied to a MacBook. Reading some comments, I may check out a 4K alternative

r/WorkspacesFor the people who have a portable monitor as a second monitor, was it helpful?
7 months ago

My wife and I each have a 15.6" by Arzopa, she's a remote worker who travels, I use mine at my desk under my main monitor. She loves hers, since I don't travel with mine I wish I had got a 17", I had the room for it under my monitor, so I should have got the bigger one. https://preview.redd.it/a96qjguu3tmf1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f77aebca3a946cefeef7a0ecd16966e845b332eb
