ARZOPA16" 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 was an impulse purchase based on a recommendation from CNET and a price that could not be beat that they were offering in their review of the monitor ($77). I work from home a lot and wanted a second monitor, but just was not feeling getting one that had to remain in place. After reading the CNET review, I went straight to Amazon and purchased it, figuring it would be a loss if it didn't work out. I have to say I was very surprised and happy with the purchase.The monitor was packed well in a nice and sturdy package. I loved the fact that they were two USB Type-C connections and a Mini HDMI port one as well. I immediately plugged it into my Samsung S24 to see what a movie would look like and it was great, with no need to install an app or a driver, just plug and play. I will say though it ate up my battery pretty quickly on the phone (about 2 hours or so) while watching Dune. I tried it on some of my other phones (I have a bunch from upgrades that I just keep on hand) as well as my main work laptop and the monitor connected with no problem.While running on my phone, the picture looked nice, but for a more explosive burst of colors, I strongly recommend an external power source. The difference between running the monitor off of my phone vs the external power source was great. Also if you are going to be working for extended periods at home, you definitely will need an external power source so you can work uninterrupted.Although it is 16.1", it is very light in weight and fits right into my ONTHEGO LV bag, so I can see myself carrying this with me when I am not at home. As I mentioned, an external power source is needed to get the best viewing pleasure out of the monitor, so the few times I have taken the monitor out with me my INIU Power Bank has been great in powering the monitor up. There is also a stand in the back of the monitor that you can adjust to different heights/angles.There is sound available on the monitor but it is not a deal breaker for me as I am usually plugged in bluetooth headphones. I am particularly excited at the idea of being able to use it with my Amazon Fire instead of taking my laptop out with me when I reviewing reports and procedures prior to approval. This was such a great purchase for me that I am planning on purchasing another just to have on hand in the office when I want the luxury of having two monitors and not be tied to my desk.

The screen is nice and large great for playing games or watching videos. The color is very good also, I usually use it at night and I think the brightness is good almost too bright if there's a lot of white on the screen but is easily adjustable with the side buttons going into the menu and adjusting it. Having a high refresh rate of 144Hz is awesome all my games look super smooth. I didn't think I would like the stand but it actually works pretty well. It's super light weight and portable so it's easy to carry , take with you, or light enough to be used on a scissor arm with a large tablet holder. The casing is aluminum I believe and the screen is a nice middle ground between matte and glossy. There is not much I can say bad about this portable monitor, the only thing I don't like would be that the aspect ratio is either stretch or 4:3 , which I kinda found annoying when I was watching Crunchyroll since it looked like it had the slightest bit of stretch. But overall its a great monitor and I do enjoy using it a lot. Games look perfectly fine and has vibrant colors Why did you pick this product vs others?:The price was really good for its features and had a lot of good reviews, it was tough finding a good portable monitor that was 120Hz+ that was under $100 (I picked it up for $94-95 I think) I primarily use it for gaming which it does a great job at.

Here's a review based on your positive experience:Solid Portable Monitor for the Price - 4/5 StarsI've been using the ARZOPA 16.1" 144Hz portable monitor for a few weeks now and I'm pretty impressed overall. The setup was straightforward - just plug and play with my laptop via USB-C, and it recognized it immediately.What I love:The 144Hz refresh rate is noticeable, especially when gaming. Colors look vibrant and the 1080P resolution is crisp for a portable display. The kickstand is surprisingly sturdy and adjustable, which makes positioning easy whether I'm working at a desk or on the couch. Being able to use it as a second screen has been a game-changer for productivity.Performance:Gaming on my PS5 and laptop has been smooth. The HDR makes a difference in supported games, and I haven't noticed any significant input lag. The slim profile makes it easy to slip into my laptop bag when traveling.Minor drawbacks:The bezels are great compared to some premium monitors, and the built-in speakers are pretty basic (though that's expected at this price point).Bottom line:For the price, this hits the sweet spot between portability, performance, and features. It feels premium and it it does exactly what I need it to do without breaking the bank. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a reliable portable gaming/work monitor.

I was really impressed with this monitor. I wasn't expecting anything exceptional given its low price point and the fact that it's powered off just a 5V USB cable, but I vastly underestimated how great the quality would be. I expected to use it mainly for writing code but decided to test out a game and was blown away with how well it handled the graphics. I still don't plan on using it much for gaming since it's only 60hz and I have a gaming laptop, but it's nice to know it's a viable option. Another thing that surprised me was the brightness - again I wasn't expecting it to be too impressive but I was wrong; I can't even keep it at 100% because it's TOO bright! I sometimes like to work outside and I think it'll really come in handy for that - haven't tried it yet. As for the build quality, it's shockingly light but doesn't feel fragile at all. So far the kickstand feels solid and has enough resistance to hold its position at any angle. All in all, I couldn't be happier with my choice and I would HIGHLY recommend this monitor.
