I am a tech geek and appreciate good quality and if the product meets the user requirements.Ease of use - So simple to set up. USB C cable from Mac to Portable Monitor.Cost - Very reasonable and I thought was very fair.Size / weight - slim design and extremely light but the quality is there. Feels robust and well made. Screen size is perfect and so easy to transport with a laptop.Screen quality - Exceptional, I think it’s 2k resolution and it’s perfect for office work and being an additional portable monitor.Overall I am very happy with this purchase and it’s a game changer for having two monitors to work from whilst on the road.

I bought the Arzopa A1 15.6" variant for a live event control area on a small tour where having to run Windows on Mac meant I couldn't sidecar an iPad and got weary of the big Dell monitor I was lugging around on tour, often working in tight spaces. At around £75.00 I thought I'd give it a go but it's turned out to be an amazingly useful and portable bit of kit!For mobile people here are the advantages: Slips easily behind a laptop in a bag (I protected it with an old laptop sleeve but budget for protection unless you want to take a box out). It doesn't need a power supply and you can power it from any old decent USB charger whose cable ends in USB C (necessary if you need it fed by HDMI which requires separate power). If you're driving it with USB-C images you don't need this. It's incredibly well built at this price point. It's been dragged around the country and through theatres for a few weeks and it's solid). It's physically the same size as any decent laptop screen so in may scenario, it's doubling my centimetre-related real estate with little weight/space penalty. [tip: always pack the Mini-HDMI to HDMI cable first and with the monitor when moving locations because it's a quirky cable you won't find a replacement for in a hurry!]It's bright enough to use with no issues in most scenarios. Not sure I'd want prolonged daily use as a main display but it's a budget solution and does what it claims with aplomb. It costs considerably less than an Apple mouse and punches way above its price point.In my scenario, I needed to move controls for live shows onto it to have more elements in front of me in a performance situation and it works perfectly, even in cramped spaces due to its minimal footprint. Mouse movements and movement is good. No streaky 2005 laptop look here.It doesn't have any power quirks or annoyances when left for a long time. These things matter to me as I am running a live show. I speak from experience of monitors that just disappear needing a reboot!All this is well and good but you have to have a reference to know what the user's standards are. I run a Mac Studio with a Studio Display, an M3 MacBook Pro for on the go editing and an old Intel MacBook Pro with Windows for live work (software in Windows-Only on this gig). I edit professional video in Premiere and I'm fussy! Whilst I would never colour grade on this monitor, on the move, it lets me take a smaller 14" MacBook yet still edit by moving timelines and controls to it and using the Mac screen for better reference. I can do this with an iPad too I know but this is a better solution once set up as I'm not constantly disconnecting to do other things. I never game so you need to look elsewhere for views on that. It's not some gaming monster. it's a portable replacement for everyday utilitarian screens.I've found myself using this screen way more than I thought I would. Last night prompted me to review it as I was in my home studio editing a video piece with a complex timeline on my Mac Studio. I rarely yearn for more real-estate on the Mac but this was an exception. By placing it alongside on my desk, with little space needed, I shifted loads of control elements to this screen to allow a deeper timeline layout without massive monitors and power cables running everywhere. These kind of control elements of Premiere etc care little about resolution and the 1920x1080 res might seem prehistoric but you a good size screen which you can see clearly and for spare change. Once again, there's a slight softness and low-res feel to the image (obviously). However, not irritatingly so. It's just fine. As a portable second monitor or for emergency use it's fabulous! I'm thinking of adding them to the touring racks as the rack PCs only really need a monitor for power up and minor changes. The convenience and weight outweighs the HD resolution and any quibbles over accuracy etc. We have large old-school screens that are overkill for what they're needed for. Overall, it's fine for most scenarios you'd sensibly use this display in and, at the price, it's a no-brainer. It also does way better than I expected with video too. It's no iPad screen but you can comfortably watch video on it without hating it, even if you're picky, as long as you keep your expectations realistic.I can't comment on longevity as I've only had the screen for a month but it's already been around the UK with me in various locations travelling in a backpack so it's no flimsy tat for sure!If you're looking for an affordable display for occasional use, an emergency screen to carry for mobile situations or just want a cheap way to get some more inches, I highly recommend this product. And I rarely write reviews which makes the thing all the more impressive!

This Arzopa monitor is perfect as a second screen! The 15.6” FHD display is crisp and vibrant, and the IPS panel ensures great viewing angles. It’s lightweight, ultra-slim, and easy to set up with both USB-C and HDMI connectivity. Works flawlessly with my laptop and console. Highly recommend for work and entertainment on the go!

I’ve been using this portable monitor for a few weeks now, and I’m seriously impressed. The fact that it only needs a single USB-C cable for both power and display makes it incredibly convenient—no extra chargers or HDMI cables to mess with. Just plug it into my laptop and it’s ready to go in seconds.The screen quality is sharp and vibrant, with good brightness and colour accuracy for working on the go. It’s lightweight and slim, so it fits easily in my laptop bag, and the built-in stand is sturdy enough for most surfaces.I use it mainly for productivity—having that second screen for emails or documents while I work on my main display is a game changer. It also works great for media and even light gaming.If you're after a reliable, plug-and-play second screen that keeps your desk clutter-free and your backpack light, this is a brilliant choice.
