ARZOPA 16" 2.5K Portable Monitor, 2560x1600 QHD IPS Display 123% sRGB with Built-in Stand USB-C HDMI Eye Care External Second Screen for Mac Laptop Phone PS4/5 Xbox Switch -Z1RC

This monitor is very easy to use and very portable. Its large screen is bright and clear. I do not use it for gaming i use it for college. So carrying it around with my laptop and other accessories is easy breezy. Its lightweight and feels sturdy and well built. This is a high quality item that i hope to be using until i graduate college. Kids can use in car for trips to game on is my next test with this monitor.

The frame and kickstand seem sturdy and well designed. I’m slightly worried about damage from stuffing this into my backpack (inside the included soft case, of course) but so far, so good on a roundtrip, cross country flight. As for the display: The QHD and 180Hz refresh combine for a very sharp viewing experience that works well with my MacBook Air 13. (Make sure you try a 3rd-party software called BetterDisplay that allows for a more precise resolution setting that fixes blurry text.) It also worked seamlessly on a Windows laptop without 3rd-party software. My primary use is for web and office productivity so I can’t confirm its gaming and movie use cases but my guess is that it’d perform above-average. Overall, this offering from ARZOPA has very good build quality but is still lightweight and excellent value.

Let me start out by saying the build quality is phenomenal. The packaging makes it feel like you just dropped at least $300 on this thing. The lightweight build is actually lightweight, the screen is bright and vibrant, the bezels are small, and the device itself is incredibly thin. I'll preface this with one thing- you need need need to get a Viture USB-C adapter with power delivery (yes the one for the XR Glasses) or something similar. It's not required, the screen can work with just power delivery from the device itself- but you'll be sorely missing out. A USB-C adapter with power delivery allows you to take full advantage of the monitors capabilities without sacrificing display features on your PC or console itself ROG Ally connected with the adapter: 1080p 144hz or 120hz w/ FreeSync Variable Refresh rate and HDR in full 30W power mode with the official ROG Ally AC adapter. Just make sure you turn on FreeSync in the monitor's OSD and HDR if you want it. With the Switch: 1. A Nintendo Switch Dock is required if you don't have a USB-C adapter with power delivery 2. I had to turn off the Switch TV power mode settings because this locks the switch if the screen turns off- and it might as you attempt to connect it 3. The connection didn't work at first (at least for me) unless I set the Switch TV Settings resolution mode to 480p before connecting- then switched it back to 1080p once on the screen was visible- BUT 4. Once it works it works! No compromises. Even with the standard Nintendo Switch 5W AC adapter 5. If you don't like that you need the AC adapter I believe you'll just need to find a portable battery with decent hi wattage power delivery. I've read the 20000mah Anker works- I̶'̶l̶l̶ ̶t̶e̶s̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶u̶p̶d̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶r̶e̶v̶i̶e̶w̶ ̶o̶n̶c̶e̶ ̶I̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶f̶i̶r̶m̶.̶ Can confirm- Anker 20000mah Power bank works! Without an adapter you can still use the screen (not the Switch)- but there will be limitations. I have not thoroughly tested it with the ROG Ally or a different Windows PC but I imagine that if you push the screen too much without some form of external power source it will likely disconnect. This should be expected. The thing is- you'll always need some form of adapter for the devices you connect if they don't have a discrete HDMI out or video out- otherwise you're just draining your laptops battery. It's worth the investment. Other features: Audio - Speakers are nothing to write home about but they get the job done and I'm more than appreciative of that HDR - Again, nothing special- but it does work fine. I'm not super keen on knowing what to look for between SDR and HDR but it does get the job done. 4K / 2K Downscaling - This monitor can support up to 4K resolutions, but downscaled to 1080p. It's great for something like a PS5 or Xbox- consoles that I've found to actually lower graphics settings in some games simply for using 1080p. A good example is Assassins Creed Odyssey, which looks loads better when your console is set to 4K. Refresh Rate - It's no joke. For the first time I can be competitive in Halo Infinite on my ROG Ally. Between free sync and 120hz/144hz picture quality matches my Samsung Odyssey G9. (Side note... would be neat to have an 32:9 portable monitor but I can't imagine that would work without the screen being some sort of foldable) Stand - I read a lot of reviews before purchasing and they must have redone the stand design because it this recent model (As of 3.31.2024) is super sturdy. No separate kick stand you have to carry around- it comes with a long arm that allows you reposition the screen easily depending on the height of the surface the monitor is relative to your eye level. Cables - Includes a USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB Type-A to USB-C cable (which I've yet to test), and an HDMI to Mini-HDMI cable. I simply use the USB-C to C cable while connected the Viture USB-C adapter. Warranty - 1 year and can be extended to 2 year with a full refund if issues encountered within 30 days of purchase. If I do have problems I'll update here if the warranty process is a pain. Cons: Honestly- none so far. It does not have a cover so you'll want to order the Arzopa sleeve since the screen is otherwise unprotected. But that's on discount if you purchase the monitor so you can save $4. Overall, this monitor is badass. I will update this review if the device fails or I find issues worth noting. 5 out of 5 stars

The ARZOPA 16.1’’ 144Hz Portable Gaming Monitor is an impressive option for gamers and professionals who want performance without sacrificing portability.

It’s a fantastic choice for gamers who want smooth gameplay on the go, as well as anyone looking to expand their screen space with a high-quality portable display.

So far so good! I’ve enjoyed this monitor as a smaller monitor under my main one for small tasks such as discord or spotify. Downside to the monitor are the cable lengths, I realize it was more geared towards laptops and lengthy cables would be obnoxious but for my setup I could have definitely used something longer. The picture is nice and the refresh rate is quick, definitely an easy adjustment going from the larger to the smaller monitor. Overall it’s worth the investment as it does what it’s supposed to: it displays the image and it does it well. I would like to mention the portability aspect as well. I like to help build PC’s and being able to transport a monitor with ease is super helpful. I included a picture of a build I’m currently working on and the portability was super helpful in this case. Definitely would recommend to others

This monitor does the job. It’s clear screen is lovely to look at. Set up is easy and comes with the chords needed. I wish the chords were longer. I had to buy a longer data chord. Please don’t buy and usbc chord. It must be audio/video.

I bought 2 of these to allow me to more easily work when away from home. I've been using them for about 30 minutes at this point, but so far everything is going great. Using the included USB-C cables, my laptop (2023 MacBook Pro, M2 Max) recognized them immediately. The screen real estate is perfect given the portability of the monitors. They're light and feel sturdy. So far I'm very pleased with the purchase. Of note, I rarely trust the provided cables when buying accessories like this. In this instance, I bought some Anker USB-C cables (3') to give me some flexibility with how to set things up when traveling. These cables were not compatible with the monitors. The included USB-C cables are plenty long, seem to be of good quality, and work great with my MacBook Pro. If you're like me and prefer to use name brand USB-C cables, I feel comfortable suggestion you can safely skip that purchase with these.

Amazing overall! The monitor picture is crisp, I honestly was expecting a "temu" quality. Reaches 120hz (I don't have a device that runs 144 so couldn't test it) flawlessly. The monitor build quality AND kickstand is great as well, it's metal and has a nice click whenever you put it away, it's comparable to the Switch OLED in that regard. Very easy to set up with the 3 included cables. It exceeded my expectations. The size is great, super thin just like the ads! Only critique, and it's probably because of the slim form is the speakers are decent quality but VERY quiet. I use this for a second screen for my ROG Ally, and the max volume is probably less then half. It's nearly unusable unless you're in complete silence. I went back to the stock Ally speakers. I recommend headphones.
