This video is very much appreciated, very thorough & detailed. Seeing the side-by side comparison clips has given me a great idea which brand I shall cram in to my cart.
I bought this monitor on a whim for EVO weekend and it’s working great! Glad you tested out the latency as there aren’t a lot of reviews/videos that show that and it gives me a peace of mind haha
This Review gave me the final kick to actually go out and buy one of these. It arrived pretty fast. Its perfect, especially since i use a Laptop. And for the price of 160€ it was a Steal for such a Great Monitor. Can't thank you enough for this review. One of the Changes they also made is that they actually made the Logo much smaller
@@muygalan mine still works completely fine i did see reviews of already broken units but i didnt encounter any problems id say go for it at best when its on sale
This would be a perfect companion for the Ryzen 6000 portable PCs as the Steam Deck is still not available in the general Indo-Pacific area in case you'll be getting the ones that equal $649.
Such a GREAT review!! I love that you also reviewed the stand, as I wasn't sure whether to buy a more stable stand for it or just use the built-in kickstand. :D
I'm going to buy this for my steam deck which doesn't necessarily need the 144hz with the idea that I could also use it with my series x if and when I need it. Thanks for sharing all of your tests.
Boy, I never thought I would see the day where we have portable gaming monitors running at 144hz and can stand toe to toe with the much bigger monitors! I'm interested!
Get a cloth and put the Switch face down on it may help disapate heat. Make sure the cloth is not booking the vents and is only there to protect the screen from getting scratched.
@@muygalan hi there. I have one dead pixel. It’s not particularly annoying. But the refresh rate and quality elsewhere more than make up for it. Really enjoyed using it for gaming and work.
@@grahamstephens9931 That's hilarious. One of the main reasons I want this is so I can stream my PC games from my laptop to play games in bed (without bringing the laptop to bed. lol)
I use mine at coffee shops that have “decent” internet….and yes it’s mostly for fighting games that I run on switch or ps4. Unless the ps5 was slightly smaller/carry friendly I wouldn’t rush into buying one yet.
Because of this channel I have become obsessed with arcade sticks and learning to place fighting games. At age 37. Lol still don’t know which one i will get i want something cross platform. Have any spare for sale lol. On serious note any recommendations.
I got one, it's incredible! I use a solar powered power bank with it. They're totally worth the money especially if you do a lot of handheld mode switch gaming but are thinking of getting an Orion, nah, don't waste your money. This has better specs for a cheaper price. And you use your pro controller instead of joy cons and all the weight of the Orion.
Hello , liked the video, your reviews are awesome. I recently got a PS5 as a gift, I work as a truck driver so portability is a must for me, what would you recommend, this or the G-Story 4k? Price and portability-wise I would say this is a better option. What's your opinion?
ive been using a similar portable monitor as a second screen at my desk, clamped in portrait view it actually lines up pretty nicely with the side of my main monitor almost like an extension. The size is perfect for my needs which is mostly having discord open on the side. The few times i do wanna take it somewhere like a lan party or tournament, its super easy to pull it off the clamp and go.
This is amazing, I can not believe you can use that portable monitor for the switch without the use of a dock. The whole 144 hurts is especially nice. My only question is could it be used to stream online games?
if you have a android phone like samsung you can connect it thru usb and use your phone as the pc pretty much and use game streaming amps like that like xbox game pass etc
Thanks for the review, Really nice monitor with good price. But if Arzopa stafff reading this, please remove the logo in front of the screen, it's really distracting.
Can't you buy it from Amazon US? They are selling it at great price there. I'm in Europe and still buying it from the US cause it's much cheaper there even with shipping and customs included
hey, can you tell us how did you test input latency? i was gonna buy G1 or Z1FC but i guess they are gonna be the same inputlag-wise... such ms are too much for fighting games lol
Im using Apple's 60watts but the iphone charge phones work, or even my powerbank a couple times. Synch only cables will not put video on the Arzopa.External power not neccasy if usbc-usbc supplies enough power with video signal, like laptop or dock, but if you do HDMI you do need external power on one of the Arzopa usbc ports.
11 months later, has anyone had any Switch bricking using this? I know the Switch is very picky about what power supplies they have plugged in and that's made me touchy about most accessory purchases.
It is very convenient for switch users like me since it can also charge through power bank. However, on the official website of Arzopa, they said it is “necessary” to charge the monitor with the Nintendo Switch ac adapter. So if thats true would’nt that mean we wont be able to use power bank to charge the monitor? This js the only issue thats making me contemplating whether to buy it or not cuz im planning to use it with my switch on a power bank. What’s your take on this?
I have the newer version its now 17 inchs it gives you a kickstand instead of a case, i play my xbox series x on this and its so much better in person then you see here, only 1 fault is the speakers they arent too good. So headphones are a must
do not get this, i bought this thing 3 times before i said im not unlucky getting a dud model, the first one broke after 6 days of use, the screen wouldnt turn on, had them send a replacement as they said it could just be a faulty model sent, 2nd one lasted for 11 days before the same issue, and they said ooh maybe im overlaoding the power, i said to them this thing has been running of my phones batery so i said you cant blame me for your faulty product which should work under required amp and not break in less then a month, they said please let us send you another one i said fine so the third one came, this one lasted 4 days, and this time i made sure to use their own power cable and socket, so they cant blame me, ive never bought a product so prone to breaking, and its a shame because the time i did have it was fantastic but i really dont want to worry about it breaking on me at any point, as this thing should honestly last a while for the price you pay and yet it doesnt, the customer service is great and cant fault them, but this thing is so flimsy that i dont know how some people have had this for years, i did later realise the model they review or have is slighly different or a older variant so that may be the case, the april 2023 version is a dud, i later bought a 2k uperfect 120hz 16inch and damn its like i had to go through all this to realise theirs a even better monitor out their for £20 more, and i have had that for nearly 6 months and that thing is used daily and its yet to do anything fishy, fingers crossed that lasts, from my experience with arzopa i honestly cant recommend this considering i had 3 units all break under 2 weeks.
I'm buying two of these screens to extend my Aorus 15 xe5 screen to three screens. The xe5 has a 165hz screen. Will these Arzopa screens be a good match for my Aorus 15 xe5?
The only thing I hate about the Switch is that it wont charge or take some battery to charge the Portable Monitor. The steam deck does it just fine. but the switch you gotta have the portable monitor on a outlet to even play on the switch
Isn't there an inherent risk to bricking the Switch when connecting directly using USB C for video output + charging? Has it been working fine so far? This has been the main point for me not using portable monitors for my switch without the dock as tempting as it is to do so.
Hi I bought this monitor, I have an Xbox series x and to power this monitor which cable should I use to connect to the console? Is one cable enough or do you also need the power supply?
I am not able to connect the screen to my mobile. Its showing no signal. In the case of laptop I am able to connect with the usb cable provided but not for mobile. Any suggestions?
Wow, just 15W max, didn't expect that, awesome. I've got a decent powerbank that should last about 5 hours at max load. A perfect portable pairing with a Switch v2 then.
I'm getting it to have a second and third screen for my gaming laptop. I might even use it for my playstation and mobile phone. Has lots of uses really
Tried to skip the unboxing, because ... yeesh, unboxing ... but did accidentally see that they put the cables in plastic bags despite them already being in cardboard boxes ... what a waste, y'know?
I never even thought about portable monitors before this.
Clearly u don’t play enough Melty
This video is very much appreciated, very thorough & detailed. Seeing the side-by side comparison clips has given me a great idea which brand I shall cram in to my cart.
I wanted a portable monitor before but couldn't find one with at least 144hz. It's nice to know it exists.
Ali express
I bought this monitor on a whim for EVO weekend and it’s working great! Glad you tested out the latency as there aren’t a lot of reviews/videos that show that and it gives me a peace of mind haha
Can u plug it into phone and have desktop?
@@pguser For something like Samsung Dex? If so then, yes!
My goodness, your video and content quality are stepping up my guy!
This Review gave me the final kick to actually go out and buy one of these.
It arrived pretty fast.
Its perfect, especially since i use a Laptop.
And for the price of 160€
it was a Steal for such a Great Monitor.
Can't thank you enough for this review.

Any problems with your new monitor? I'm thinking of buying one, but many reviews lament about dead pixels and technical issues.
@@muygalan
mine still works completely fine
i did see reviews of already broken units
but i didnt encounter any problems
id say go for it
at best when its on sale

I want this, NOW.....
Another good option is the 17" viewsonic portable (also 1080/144). It costs $100 more but it's real nice.
ooh can you ask them to send me one for review? that sounds nice
Well, It was hard to find that Latency! Happy to see it's not bad at all! Definitly the one I'll buy
Expert review here. You know your stuff, it shines through.
Came back to see this again months later. Looking to get one for my steamdeck soon
I already have the Hori portable monitor but this video is tempting me to upgrade...
Not needing a Switch dock is dope 💟
I wonder if they could make the logo any bigger, I feel like it's too small.
When I can finally order my steam deck, I'm definitely getting this for it as well
This and a Steam Deck with dock are a match made in heaven
Yesssss
Wow, I checked out the affiliate link and to my surprise it ships to Australia
Boy, I never thought I would see the day where we have portable gaming monitors running at 144hz and can stand toe to toe with the much bigger monitors! I'm interested!
I wish these had built in kick stands like the Switch or Surface tablets.
im sure you can find stick on stands for cheap
Just got one finally should be here tomm!!
Get a cloth and put the Switch face down on it may help disapate heat. Make sure the cloth is not booking the vents and is only there to protect the screen from getting scratched.
Great review, Actually it is the best one when it comes to that particular screen
One of the reasons i bought a 16’’ Laptop 😁👌- However this would be great to have a portable second screen for dual screen setup
Or two for a three screen setup
I got this last week and love it! A brilliant review and really like the technical aspects. You've reassured me even further with my purchase. Cheers.

It's only a screen so you need a console or PC to play the games.
if you have a android phone like samsung you can connect it thru usb and use your phone as the pc pretty much and use game streaming amps like that like xbox game pass etc

Hey 👋🏾 Have you got this monitor working with the Steam Deck and a controller yet? I'm dying to know.
Hello your affiliate link to Amazon goes to a 60hz version is this the right one?
Damn. They don't sell this in Canada as of right now.
Can't you buy it from Amazon US? They are selling it at great price there. I'm in Europe and still buying it from the US cause it's much cheaper there even with shipping and customs included
hey, can you tell us how did you test input latency? i was gonna buy G1 or Z1FC but i guess they are gonna be the same inputlag-wise... such ms are too much for fighting games lol
Planning to buy this, any updates of this unit so far?
the fact that you don't need the switch dock is impressive alone.
Is this worth picking up for a steam deck?
Not sure why i thought not 1080p. 2 months later, and i have the S1 and A1M. No charger but did get a cleaning cloth. 2024 August.
where coffee?!?
Can you do a test on a steam deck? Also how is the input latency

What’s ur thoughts on using this as my main switch moniter? Too small? Or just fine?
What portable battery do yall recommend? I’m going to make myself a switch set up with an Arzopa and a portable battery.
Im using Apple's 60watts but the iphone charge phones work, or even my powerbank a couple times. Synch only cables will not put video on the Arzopa.External power not neccasy if usbc-usbc supplies enough power with video signal, like laptop or dock, but if you do HDMI you do need external power on one of the Arzopa usbc ports.
how does it perform in FPS e-sport titles like CS2, Valorant, Apex etc. ?
does the default mini hdmi cable that comes in the box allow 144hz or do you need to buy a special cable for that
I just used the mini hdmi cable included in the box
11 months later, has anyone had any Switch bricking using this? I know the Switch is very picky about what power supplies they have plugged in and that's made me touchy about most accessory purchases.

I have the newer version its now 17 inchs it gives you a kickstand instead of a case, i play my xbox series x on this and its so much better in person then you see here, only 1 fault is the speakers they arent too good. So headphones are a must
Man that’s sick you can play switch without the dock. That’s always been my biggest switch gripe.
I wonder if the Steam Deck could pump out 1080p 144hz in desktop mode for SFV and maybe other fighting games (maybe not at max settings)
French video show 60 to 70 fps mass effect on arzopa monitor
Hello brother, a question, is that monitor compatible to play Warzone on PS4?
Will the charge from the monitor damage the switch, because you know how sensitive the switch is with non-authorized products.
how is he doing with the pwm? Strong flickering? Do your eyes hurt?

Wouldn't you just use a laptop?
