Yeah the guy making this video seems to be a total noob. I also seen the monitor seems to support FreeSync in the options. Wonder if it also supports 4k downsampling internally.

@@elhamratul I have a 2.1 mini HDMI to HDMI cable, and it didn't make a difference with the Xbox, as far as I can tell it provided no benefit over the HDMI cable that came in the box. HDMI 2.1 shouldn't be necessary, the signal is 1080p 120Hz that we're shooting for, which has been available since HDMI 1.4.
@watchmejumpstart there is no relevant information in the booklet, the only setting that could potential affect refresh rate is FREESYNC and that didn't affect the refresh rate. It is possible to adjust the refresh rate on the Steam Deck while in desktop mode, so you could theoretically browse the desktop experience in 144Hz, but it will stay at 60Hz while in game mode.
SEE that's what I was going to suggest, FREESYNC on might be how they hid it. Try OCR/DCR (Can't read it on screen), that's the over clock feature, though you might need a wall outlet since that might pull the full 15W.
Please test to make sure you are accurately setting up for the Xbox. I had issues setting mine up with my high refresh rate monitor. You need to go to Settings > General > TV and Display Options > Video Fidelity and Overscan > Display Overrides. Please set it to HDMI. It might be set to Auto currently. Then go back and set the resolution to 1080p and refresh rate to 120hz. Let me know if this fixes it. If it is capable for 120hz on other devices, it should work with Xbox but you need to set it up correctly.
despite not liking the product yourself, you've convinced me to buy it (especially since at the time of writing this it was on sale for $120 for me), sign of a great reviewer.
I didn’t know either, lmao. I’ve been looking for all sorts of ways to use a larger screen for steamdeck at work. Thought I could do it with iPad but it isn’t setup to receive video, only output. Tried my laptop, same problem and I don’t want to have to hook up a capture card and a dock and a separate charger for steamdeck and my laptop charger, too much cordage.
This likely just means the EDID handshake information on the monitor (the thing that tells the Xbox and other devices what display modes, res and hz, the monitor supports) isn’t set up correctly by the manufacturer.

Hello, I am going to give you good news, I just bought this monitor and an S series and yes, you can put it at 120fps and the X series that I have too. Take note. Settings/tv and display options/video fidelity and overscan/hdmi overrides and selects. You go back and select, Resolution 1080p and below in update frequency 120fps. It also accepts 1440 60 FPS
I've had lots of issues with here monitors from stuck/dead pixels to screen bleed and blotchy white spots on 5 different ones. Finally went with a little more well known brand view sonic and arrived perfectly.
I just bought the monitor and actually found the solution. you need to FORCE hdmi signal I'm advanced video settings. it will then swap to 480p, then go back and select 120hz refresh rate. Boom, freesync is unavailable but you still got the 120hz refresh rate 💯
I bought this same monitor for my Steam Deck recently. Though I wasn’t able to go more than 60hz in SteamOS, I was able to do so in Desktop Mode, just gotta adjust the display settings and increase it to 144hz.
Have you tried running games at 1080p 144hz without plugging it in externally (just using the SteamDeck to power both)? How fast does it eat the SteamDeck battery? could it last at least 80min?
I have a 100hz monitor but when I apply the setting then go on tf2 in game mode for example and look to see the hz info 4 mode and it stills shows 60hz
So the same thing happened with my 4k 120Hz TV. I have both the Series S and Series X, and for both the Xboxs said that my TV is not capable of those outputs. I had to go to the Xbox's display settings and reset everything to default, and then select a resolution mode. By default, the Xbox tries to output at the highest resolution possible which in most cases will hinder its refresh rate. Sometimes you have to choose the "I want 120Hz and I do not care if it is 1080p" option.
@@martindescoteaux9288 yeah, i used a 2.1 cable in the hdmi 2.1 port. I literally just had to adjust my xbox settings because with new TVs it auto outputs at some weird resolution until you change it
Just switch screen option on XBOX to just HDMI - > then to 1080P and the refresh rate 120HZ will be an option and then you are good to go with 120 HZ. Other option is higher resolution but then refresh goes to 60 HZ, but 120 hz is an option 100% on XBOX s/x.
My 4k 120hz tv wasn’t recognized by Xbox for that refresh rate until my tv got an update 2 months later and boom, I was able to get play on that. Might have a compatible issue from the monitor
That's a real bummer about the Xbox and Steam Deck. I have the Asus XG16 and it runs at 120hz no problem on my series x, but it's quite a bit more expensive (about $280 when on sale). I could also get 144hz on the Steam Deck in desktop mode, but doesn't look like the OS supports it in gaming mode yet.
Just to clarify, does 120hz work on this monitor via steam deck when in desktop mode? I want to buy it to play fps on steam deck and I have a mouse and keyboard so playing in desktop mode isn't an issue... thanks
@collecttcg1122 I was originally talking about the Asus XG16, but I also have the Arzopa now which I bought for my girlfriend's Steam Deck. I can confirm 144hz works in both desktop mode and gaming mode now. Valve has since updated Steam OS to support higher refresh rates in gaming mode. Hope that helps.
Well Russ here is another review you have done that has led to me buying a product. I'm very happy with it and a year on got it alot cheaper on Amazon UK. Ideal just as a second screen for my laptop and for podcast notes🤘
En la Xbox Series tienes que poner en HDMI en vez de en Recomendado en la configuración. Y ya puedes ponerlo a 120 fps sin problema. Lo he comprobado por mi mismo.
@@CesarFerrer Jugué con mi Series X al Gears V, Mad Max y al Star Wars Battlefront II. Pocos hay pero aún jugando el resto a 60 fps, al tener un milisegundo de tiempo de respuesta es increíble la diferencia del resto de monitores.
a mi no me sale la opcion de fps y tampoco me deja poner en1080p, solo esta a 720 p por hdmi, y en ps5 me pasa lo mismo y en switch, pero lo curioso que en pc con el mismo cable que viene hdmi si va a 1080p? me han dado el cable hdmi defectuoso?
This is great! I have a ps5, already use it on 120 and 144hz displays, but not for my in bed setup (yes I move my ps5 around a lot). And I also have a dual monitor 144hz laptop setup, looking to expand to a third
How do you get the PS5 to find 120 fps and 144hz display? Did you use a different HDMI and power adapter/cord that's not the ones that came with the monitor?
@@caliking6717 hmm. I’m gonna clarify myself. I can only use 1 display at a time on PS5, like everyone else. I have an HDMI 2.1 cable that connects from the PS5 to my TV or monitor. Then, I can enable 120fps in the PS5 settings. I do not have a portable monitor so my only power source is from the typical wall outlets. - using the same power cables that shipped with each product.
if you have portable PC (like Beelink, minisforum, topton) you will actually achieve laptop-like solution with such portable monitor. The huge bonus of the miniPC over the laptop is the full set of outputs (which otherwise can be cured with docking station i.e. $250 i.e. notsogood). So for MiniPC it is easier to get a normal fullsize PC videocard in use (with normal PSU of course) ... as result in your place you have fully functional PC, but you can bring it somewhere just like laptop. Almost, but yeah. Another big (+) nowadays (super high electricity prices) is: you can use the miniPC when browsing/filming/etc and turn on the full power only when gaming. Which stands for 20-50W most of the time. Coz gaming laptop (with additional videochip) and full desktop PC can't go under 150W actually ... even when browsing the modern browsers are using the videocard, so it consumes power all the time ... All in all, we are living in interesting times, hehe. Thz for the vid, I am considering a 4K display from this company.
@Ryan Ryan it's worth the asking price, the freesync range on this is actually better than most expensive monitors in my experience. Really impressive, you'll have to turn the brightness on the monitor to around 85 and turn saturation up a bit. Make sure it's set to 120hz/1080p output in the steam deck settings, also change the output resolution from auto to 1080p in individual game settings. I'd also say you're best with a 30w power supply, tho one included wasn't quite up to snuff as it restarted the monitor when ramping up settings and turning the volume up past 50%. Fine once the power delivery was increased though All in all, it's a bargain 👍🏻
@@kabl00muk94 that’s awesome. Appreciate the tips, mate. I have a few power bricks around so will definitely give this more juice. Thank you once again. Will purchase this monitor now. I see a good price for the 15.6inch.
I'd love to see you test this with a walksnail hd system. I'm in the market for a monitor I can use for others to watch my fpv flights, live. The goggles/vVRX can output up to 120hz. Powering it by ac/DC isn't an issue, just having a nice display that will simply display the 1080p/120/90/60fps output from the VRX
glad i saw u video was specifically buying this for xbox i do have gaming laptop so extending would be nice and to use for switch phone ect.. sad it doesn't hit the 120hz dealbreaker considering it costs over $300 Canadian currently 2023-01-18 it is on sale for $250 not sure where ur finding it for $140
Before buying this , why do I keep seeing comments saying what cable did you use to play ps5 on 144hz or 120hz ? I have a ps5 and I want to be able to know how it can run on that ?….how come there having trouble with the ps5 with this monitor ?
Connecting an Atari VCS (2021 PC) to this would be fantastic. I play Dreamcast on my Atari VCS every day. This monitor and my Atari in a little bag for work trips would be sweet!
I'm curious. Does it handle low refresh rates well like 24 - 45fps. Or do you get awful ghosting and screen tearing. You can probably test this out by playing a game you struggle with on your handhelds. Or just try cyberpunk at a higher graphics setting.
you need to get a hdmi adapter that tricks the console into thingking it has a compatible 120hz monitor connected, then 120hz will work on series s and the deck
There's a setting that you go into in the Xbox series as to force 120 frames because I had the same problem with my monitor with my Xbox series s Just search how to get 120 frames on Xbox series s p.s. you most probably won't see this
I know this video is old but I have gotten the steam deck to go beyond 60 fps on this monitor using a jsaux dock and the included hdmi cord. Be advised the hdmi cord included is special in the connectors so you will want to use it......
Hey Russ, I am big fan of your channel, just wanted to say that first haha. I am starting to get into these portable monitors and I was hoping to ask a quick question about this one. I wanted to confirm that if you turn off or unplug this monitor, that it will save the settings (i.e. brightness, contrast, colour,) and not reset it to its original default settings. My friend had a portable monitor he got for fairly cheap (ingnok 15") and it does this which I can see being a problem if your use case involves you having to unplug it even once or more a day. Any help is appreciated, thanks again!
Did you try to set the xbox to 120hz first in settings? There are multiple videos on youtube to watch on how to do it. Because this was my problem aswell
I just bought this monitor and I can get 144Hz to work on HDMI using the supplied cables. I Use a 150w GAN charger and a 100w rated hub. The menu on the monitor says it's pulling 12v from the PD while at 1920x1080@144Hz. However, I cannot get USBC video to work with either USBC hub. Not even after giving it 1 USBC as power and one as video. I can connect directly to the Steam Deck. When I do that, the refresh and brightness drop and the menu shows 1920x1080@60Hz and 5w of PD. Oh and the Steam Deck shows a different name for the monitor in display settings (Synaptics Inc Non-PNP). I think that my USBC hubs don't allow enough power through the USBC video out port. I tested this by supplying power via the HUB's USBA port. Through HDMI and power from the USBA port I can only get 60Hz,,,, So power is definitely a factor. 7v will get you 144Hz
SteamOS does not support 144hz. Go to desktop mode and be happy. I have that same monitor, it runs on 144hz on desktop mode. Steam is working on steamos to run on that refresh rate on next update
@@ACM1PTLOCO I bought it like a year ago and I realize about this feature like 2 months ago. Checking the specs of the monitor, I saw that it had PD 2.0. Pretty solid option for enhancing the steam deck experience.
after playing around the PC NVIDIA Control panel settings, i realize in order to achieve 144Hz refresh rate, u have to downgrade ur resolution to meet the goal. Probably that why u not getting 120Hz for different types of devices.
After owning the UPerfect QLED 1080P 500 NIT monitor, I can't go any lower. This thing in and of itself is way too bright, that I literally had to install a screen dimmer overlay app for Windows. I think I measured it with wall power, and it gets up to 600 NITS according to my instruments. The colors on it are just amazing. I also have 4 more of the Pepper Jobs OLED 4k 500 NIT monitors, went all in on that disaster. SIGH, it was a kickstarter, was the last I'll ever back. They want 1200 for it, I paid $900 and found the exact same monitor from a different company for a more stomachable $600 with billions of colors, same brightness and same MPP 2.0 support.
Hi, I'm using USB-C to USB-C connection with my handheld PC (a ROG Ally X), but I don't want the monitor to draw power from my PC. I would like to plug it into an outlet using the other USB-C port so it gets power from the outlet only. If I connect it to a power outlet while it's also connected to my PC via USB-C, will it still draw power from my PC or only from the outlet?
nice. i've been thinking about repurposing my 15 year old 13 in vga lcd monitor to use as a 2nd monitor for my mini pc but now i think this would be a better option...wish it was a touchscreen though.
good thing i bought the 60hz one, as these monitors like to boast a lot of things but when you get them a lot of things are amiss, such as 100 sgbr gamut, when this one puts out 71%
I got a 108p 60hz portable monitors and overlclocked it to 66hz, nothing close to 144hz but still really nice for the money. Oh yeah it was 99$ Cad which im guessing is like 70$ USD.
The Xbox Series S doesn't have a USB-C port, so I'm not able to provide a video signal from the Xbox other than through the HDMI output. You wouldn't be able to use a USB-C adapter from the HDMI port into a USB-C port on the monitor, that's not how those signals behave. So the HDMi option is the only choice in this context, it's just not showing a high refresh rate. I have a high refresh rate monitor for my main monitor and it shows 120Hz just fine from my Xbox via HDMI.
Hoping you're able to answer this today, as the 60hz versions are half price on Amazon. Can you tell me if the 60hz model can also work with just one cable with the Steamdeck and it supply the power to monitor as this 144hz model does? I have a Baseus 65W 20,000Mah powerbank that I can use as well. The issue is where I'd be needing the monitor the most, has no power outlet nearby. Thanks for the video!
Hi, I can't say for certain since I haven't tested the Arzopa 60Hz, but I have tried other 60Hz panels and yes the Steam Deck can power them and supply the video out at the same time. Just to be safe make sure the item you are buying has free returns!
@@RetroGameCorps So I jist got my 1080P 15.6 model a few minites ago from Amazon. When I plug in my Steamdeck with or without a separate 20,000 Mah powerbank, it says no signal. I have swapped between both inputs and did the same with the input button. Still says no signal. Any tips or information you may know to solve my issue?
@@RetroGameCorps Ok, sorry for the dual messages, but wanted to clear this up. It didnt seem to want to work unless you use the USB C to C cable they provide with the monitor(tried 3 different ones before theirs). None of my other cables would work, no idea why. But after al of that, I'm happy to 100% confrim that the 1080P FHD 15.6 model does in fact work with the Steamdeck and only uses one cable. My particular monitor is model is called the S1 Table. Thank you for your time. Now, would ya happen to know where I can buy another of this exact cable that comes with the monitor? Or know of a link to one that does work?
I kinda gave up on emulator devices ( I even sold my RG351M ) I was planning on buying a Steam Deck but it was months ago, I just lost interest lol. I wanna get back on that world but I don't know what to buy, is the ( I wanted the second version) Steam Deck the best multi console ever still ?.
In its own price bracket yes AYA has a offering the AYA air with a OLED display but it's using the Ryzen 5550U which is a fair bit worse than the AND Van Gogh Custom. Moving up to around 1000 dollars 6800U handhelds from AYA, GPD and AOKZOE will outperform the steam deck by around 50%
@@zipperman6045 nope not true. Steam deck was the best in its price range but it's not anymore. ayn loki max is 700 dollars. Aya neo 2 is 699. No reason to buy a deck next year when better handhelds are coming out. Unless ur buying the 400 dollar model. I do not recommend getting the 512 gb model anymore.
@@kiruoful double the price? Sure but it's actually available and u don't have to wait in a stupid que like I did for my steam deck plus better screen and bigger handhelds
So I’m having an issue with the switch. I plugged it into the monitor everything works fine. It shows that the switch it charging but the battery life is draining. Am i doing something wrong?
I got scared a bit in the bigining. I orderd one alredy. For laptop secundery screen and for my ps5. Hopefully going to be good for me. THX for the video :)
Have to be careful with the lower-priced ones. Some have much higher response times (6ms for the cheaper one in this case). I wouldn't recommend higher than 2ms for gaming. Great review, thanks!
@@yahyarahman1254 in my experience people would not want a monitor for gaming if it is 6ms and felt people should know that. If 6ms is fine for you then use it and be happy

Hi My Arzopa monitor is flashing in colors and not showing the image. Sometimes when I disconnect it it works, but after a couple of seconds is off again. Does any of you have an idea why is this happening?
Warning to new buyers! This monitor does not support Freesync anymore, exact same A1 gaming model bought from European Amazon. It does have few improvements imo like just leather cover instead of carbon fiber looking one and Arzopa logo is now way smaller which I like but Freesync is completely missing which is a bummer.. still not bad deal but man I wish and thought It has it Edit. It does not have Freesync option in menus anymore at all. But 120hz1080p does work on Xbox if you manually select HDMI from connection types instead of automatic
I am looking for something like this but with 60hz FHD/2K refresh rate and something higher than 300 cd/m2 - 500 will be awesome. Any suggestions? It does not has to be Arzopa, just want it to use for programmig.
The vast majority of mini PCs are spec'd to a max of 60Hz output even at a 1080p resolution, so even if MSI Afterburner reports higher than 60fps it's not actually outputting that.
@@sladehunter A lot of newer games on Steam Deck can only go up to roughly 40FPS consistently. Most can't reach a consistent 60FPS. So 40FPS will allow you to get a reasonable locked frame rate for most newer Steam Deck games instead of settling for only 30FPS. So 40Hz options are great for people who intend to use it with Steam Deck.
I can confirm this works with an Xbox Series X/S for 120 fps. You need to go to the "video fidelity & overscan" settings and change "overrides" to HDMI instead of automatic. You can then change the resolution and refresh rate to 1080p and 120Hz.

So what is the problem with the refresh rate then?
@@martinrakovicky1189 judging by the fact that the PS5 put out 120hz, it seems like the problem is how the Xbox/Steam Deck handle external monitors.

Just to clarify, does 120hz work on this monitor via steam deck when in desktop mode? I want to buy it to play fps on steam deck and I have a mouse and keyboard so playing in desktop mode isn't an issue... thanks
@collecttcg1122 I was originally talking about the Asus XG16, but I also have the Arzopa now which I bought for my girlfriend's Steam Deck. I can confirm 144hz works in both desktop mode and gaming mode now. Valve has since updated Steam OS to support higher refresh rates in gaming mode. Hope that helps.
@KeyJOSH8 that's great to hear, thanks for the speedy reply, do you connect the monitor to the deck via hdmi or USB c? Thanks again
@collecttcg1122 No problem! Either will work, but if you're going through a dock, just be sure it supports 144hz at 1080p first.
I wanted this to extend my gaming laptop so most of the cons dont botther me, thanks for a great video, I will buy this
How was the laptop extension? Thinking about using this for a triple setup with my laptop
Well Russ here is another review you have done that has led to me buying a product. I'm very happy with it and a year on got it alot cheaper on Amazon UK. Ideal just as a second screen for my laptop and for podcast notes🤘
En la Xbox Series tienes que poner en HDMI en vez de en Recomendado en la configuración.
Y ya puedes ponerlo a 120 fps sin problema. Lo he comprobado por mi mismo.
Thanks that works🎉
para este monitor? que juegos has jugado a 120 fps ?
@@CesarFerrer Jugué con mi Series X al Gears V, Mad Max y al Star Wars Battlefront II. Pocos hay pero aún jugando el resto a 60 fps, al tener un milisegundo de tiempo de respuesta es increíble la diferencia del resto de monitores.
a mi no me sale la opcion de fps y tampoco me deja poner en1080p, solo esta a 720 p por hdmi, y en ps5 me pasa lo mismo y en switch, pero lo curioso que en pc con el mismo cable que viene hdmi si va a 1080p? me han dado el cable hdmi defectuoso?
This is great! I have a ps5, already use it on 120 and 144hz displays, but not for my in bed setup (yes I move my ps5 around a lot). And I also have a dual monitor 144hz laptop setup, looking to expand to a third
How do you get the PS5 to find 120 fps and 144hz display? Did you use a different HDMI and power adapter/cord that's not the ones that came with the monitor?
@@caliking6717 hmm. I’m gonna clarify myself. I can only use 1 display at a time on PS5, like everyone else. I have an HDMI 2.1 cable that connects from the PS5 to my TV or monitor. Then, I can enable 120fps in the PS5 settings. I do not have a portable monitor so my only power source is from the typical wall outlets. - using the same power cables that shipped with each product.
if you have portable PC (like Beelink, minisforum, topton) you will actually achieve laptop-like solution with such portable monitor. The huge bonus of the miniPC over the laptop is the full set of outputs (which otherwise can be cured with docking station i.e. $250 i.e. notsogood). So for MiniPC it is easier to get a normal fullsize PC videocard in use (with normal PSU of course) ... as result in your place you have fully functional PC, but you can bring it somewhere just like laptop. Almost, but yeah. Another big (+) nowadays (super high electricity prices) is: you can use the miniPC when browsing/filming/etc and turn on the full power only when gaming. Which stands for 20-50W most of the time. Coz gaming laptop (with additional videochip) and full desktop PC can't go under 150W actually ... even when browsing the modern browsers are using the videocard, so it consumes power all the time ... All in all, we are living in interesting times, hehe. Thz for the vid, I am considering a 4K display from this company.
4 months down the line, I can confirm the steam deck works perfectly with this monitor at 120hz 👍🏻
Is there Freesync support?
@Allen Cabreros happy to report the freesync is well and truly on point 👍🏻
Awesome that’s great to hear. I might buy this monitor for my SDeck then, thanks to you. Did you do anything to the settings? Or just plug and play?
@Ryan Ryan it's worth the asking price, the freesync range on this is actually better than most expensive monitors in my experience. Really impressive, you'll have to turn the brightness on the monitor to around 85 and turn saturation up a bit.
Make sure it's set to 120hz/1080p output in the steam deck settings, also change the output resolution from auto to 1080p in individual game settings.
I'd also say you're best with a 30w power supply, tho one included wasn't quite up to snuff as it restarted the monitor when ramping up settings and turning the volume up past 50%. Fine once the power delivery was increased though
All in all, it's a bargain 👍🏻
@@kabl00muk94 that’s awesome. Appreciate the tips, mate. I have a few power bricks around so will definitely give this more juice. Thank you once again. Will purchase this monitor now. I see a good price for the 15.6inch.
Would love to see some oled ones at decent price
I have a pc built into a formd t1 case, which is a sub 10L case. Powerful, yet compact. This might be a perfect monitor for my pc
It has good weight distribution, so it won't fall over and you don't need a lot of space behind it in order to keep it upright.
Perfect for travel with itx build
Used to lugg around my 15" anmite and k39 on my superbike
This seems cool to bring along when i fly
I'd love to see you test this with a walksnail hd system. I'm in the market for a monitor I can use for others to watch my fpv flights, live. The goggles/vVRX can output up to 120hz. Powering it by ac/DC isn't an issue, just having a nice display that will simply display the 1080p/120/90/60fps output from the VRX
I made that too complicated for the simple question it was. I'm not drinking on a Monday anymore. 😎👉👉
glad i saw u video was specifically buying this for xbox i do have gaming laptop so extending would be nice and to use for switch phone ect.. sad it doesn't hit the 120hz dealbreaker considering it costs over $300 Canadian currently 2023-01-18 it is on sale for $250 not sure where ur finding it for $140
Before buying this , why do I keep seeing comments saying what cable did you use to play ps5 on 144hz or 120hz ? I have a ps5 and I want to be able to know how it can run on that ?….how come there having trouble with the ps5 with this monitor ?
I am pretty sure he attached the stand incorrectly. The image on amazon looks like its should stick out from the bottom.?
Its correct
The magnetic stand its very good in the correct position
Connecting an Atari VCS (2021 PC) to this would be fantastic. I play Dreamcast on my Atari VCS every day. This monitor and my Atari in a little bag for work trips would be sweet!
With the stand, you put it on wrong. The ad shows it the others way to where it is sitting on the flap and it sticks out in front of the screen
Is there a reason why you're not mentioning this screen's model name? It's a bit weird watching a review without the model name being mentioned
I'm curious. Does it handle low refresh rates well like 24 - 45fps. Or do you get awful ghosting and screen tearing. You can probably test this out by playing a game you struggle with on your handhelds. Or just try cyberpunk at a higher graphics setting.
Or just use Blur Busters UFO Motion Tests
you need to get a hdmi adapter that tricks the console into thingking it has a compatible 120hz monitor connected, then 120hz will work on series s and the deck
Like what
I got a 4K QLED monitor I use with my laptop, handheld PC and my switch... Pretty much goes everywhere with me.
There's a setting that you go into in the Xbox series as to force 120 frames because I had the same problem with my monitor with my Xbox series s
Just search how to get 120 frames on Xbox series s
p.s. you most probably won't see this
I know this video is old but I have gotten the steam deck to go beyond 60 fps on this monitor using a jsaux dock and the included hdmi cord. Be advised the hdmi cord included is special in the connectors so you will want to use it......
Hey Russ, I am big fan of your channel, just wanted to say that first haha. I am starting to get into these portable monitors and I was hoping to ask a quick question about this one. I wanted to confirm that if you turn off or unplug this monitor, that it will save the settings (i.e. brightness, contrast, colour,) and not reset it to its original default settings. My friend had a portable monitor he got for fairly cheap (ingnok 15") and it does this which I can see being a problem if your use case involves you having to unplug it even once or more a day. Any help is appreciated, thanks again!
Will this work with the Xbox series X playing call of duty? Or is it too small? Thanks for the review.
Did you try to set the xbox to 120hz first in settings? There are multiple videos on youtube to watch on how to do it. Because this was my problem aswell
could it be that you need to use wall power for 144hz?
Negative, unfortunately the power source doesn't affect the refresh rate.
Buen video, parece una compra excelente
I just bought this monitor and I can get 144Hz to work on HDMI using the supplied cables. I Use a 150w GAN charger and a 100w rated hub. The menu on the monitor says it's pulling 12v from the PD while at 1920x1080@144Hz.
However, I cannot get USBC video to work with either USBC hub. Not even after giving it 1 USBC as power and one as video. I can connect directly to the Steam Deck. When I do that, the refresh and brightness drop and the menu shows 1920x1080@60Hz and 5w of PD. Oh and the Steam Deck shows a different name for the monitor in display settings (Synaptics Inc Non-PNP). I think that my USBC hubs don't allow enough power through the USBC video out port. I tested this by supplying power via the HUB's USBA port. Through HDMI and power from the USBA port I can only get 60Hz,,,, So power is definitely a factor. 7v will get you 144Hz
SteamOS does not support 144hz. Go to desktop mode and be happy. I have that same monitor, it runs on 144hz on desktop mode. Steam is working on steamos to run on that refresh rate on next update
You know, this got me thinking: what if someone made a laptop-like dock for the SteamDeck?
There is one, and I'm working on it right now!
A brand I've never heard of before but will never forget... ArseЖопа
Can you charge the steam deck at 45W through the monitor with the official deck power brick?
Yes you can
@@ACM1PTLOCO I bought it like a year ago and I realize about this feature like 2 months ago. Checking the specs of the monitor, I saw that it had PD 2.0. Pretty solid option for enhancing the steam deck experience.
after playing around the PC NVIDIA Control panel settings, i realize in order to achieve 144Hz refresh rate, u have to downgrade ur resolution to meet the goal. Probably that why u not getting 120Hz for different types of devices.
After owning the UPerfect QLED 1080P 500 NIT monitor, I can't go any lower. This thing in and of itself is way too bright, that I literally had to install a screen dimmer overlay app for Windows. I think I measured it with wall power, and it gets up to 600 NITS according to my instruments. The colors on it are just amazing. I also have 4 more of the Pepper Jobs OLED 4k 500 NIT monitors, went all in on that disaster. SIGH, it was a kickstarter, was the last I'll ever back. They want 1200 for it, I paid $900 and found the exact same monitor from a different company for a more stomachable $600 with billions of colors, same brightness and same MPP 2.0 support.
There are other China brands like Uperfect, Zeuslap etc. also at interesting pricepoints from warehouse that is within your region.
Hi! I can't get PS5 to run 120hz on the same monitor, what's the different cable or settings do you set/use from things out of box?
The question is which unit of arzopa is this ? Is it the arzopa s1
Hi, I'm using USB-C to USB-C connection with my handheld PC (a ROG Ally X), but I don't want the monitor to draw power from my PC. I would like to plug it into an outlet using the other USB-C port so it gets power from the outlet only. If I connect it to a power outlet while it's also connected to my PC via USB-C, will it still draw power from my PC or only from the outlet?
nice. i've been thinking about repurposing my 15 year old 13 in vga lcd monitor to use as a 2nd monitor for my mini pc but now i think this would be a better option...wish it was a touchscreen though.
I believe you have to run games from Steam Deck desktop mode to get it to output atv144hz
This is currently available for $70, i will get it today, thanks!
I'd imagine using it with a very small mini-ITX pc would be amazing since they're very portable
The PS5 won't let me enable anything higher than 720p 60hz on this monitor.
Any suggestions?
I've seen that people sell it on TikTok for $60, do you think it's as good as this one?
I pre-purchased a MINISFORM NUCXi7 - that's why I am looking for a portable 144 Hz monitor ;)
good thing i bought the 60hz one, as these monitors like to boast a lot of things but when you get them a lot of things are amiss, such as 100 sgbr gamut, when this one puts out 71%
how did you manage to get it to run 144hrtz for the ps5
You can get this screen working with series S and steam deck 120 hz but it takes some fidgeting in the settings.
How do you do it for steam deck? Thanks
Does this provide the necessary 45W to charge the steamdeck when connected to the wall?
What cord did you use for the ps5 so it can be played at 120hz???
I'm curious if it can pull off 144Hz but at lower resolutions, seen that marketing trick used a few times by other brands.
I got a 108p 60hz portable monitors and overlclocked it to 66hz, nothing close to 144hz but still really nice for the money.
Oh yeah it was 99$ Cad which im guessing is like 70$ USD.
I could use this to DJ.. with my Mac Mini running Traktor this would be the perfect portable screen to add to the set up for digital DJing....
I have a k39 itx build so I think I will buy this.
my plan with this was to have an all in one pc ! meaning i was gonna mount the monitor inside my pc instead of carrying my 27'' screen
Did you possibly forget to set the Series S resolution to 1080p? If it outputs in 4k the monitor would not be able to run in 120hz
Hi, yes it was set to 1080p.
You are playing sonic 2 with tails. Why is the original green hill zone music playing from the first game?
This might be a moot point but what about using the USBC to HDMI adapter maybe you can only get 120 through the USBC cord from the Xbox?
The Xbox Series S doesn't have a USB-C port, so I'm not able to provide a video signal from the Xbox other than through the HDMI output. You wouldn't be able to use a USB-C adapter from the HDMI port into a USB-C port on the monitor, that's not how those signals behave. So the HDMi option is the only choice in this context, it's just not showing a high refresh rate. I have a high refresh rate monitor for my main monitor and it shows 120Hz just fine from my Xbox via HDMI.
I'm thinking about using this as a secondary for my laptop
Have you tried going to video fidelity & overscan and select auto detect? It could possibly work.
Hoping you're able to answer this today, as the 60hz versions are half price on Amazon. Can you tell me if the 60hz model can also work with just one cable with the Steamdeck and it supply the power to monitor as this 144hz model does? I have a Baseus 65W 20,000Mah powerbank that I can use as well. The issue is where I'd be needing the monitor the most, has no power outlet nearby. Thanks for the video!
Hi, I can't say for certain since I haven't tested the Arzopa 60Hz, but I have tried other 60Hz panels and yes the Steam Deck can power them and supply the video out at the same time. Just to be safe make sure the item you are buying has free returns!
@@RetroGameCorps Much appreciated, thank you
@@RetroGameCorps So I jist got my 1080P 15.6 model a few minites ago from Amazon. When I plug in my Steamdeck with or without a separate 20,000 Mah powerbank, it says no signal. I have swapped between both inputs and did the same with the input button. Still says no signal. Any tips or information you may know to solve my issue?
@@RetroGameCorps Ok, sorry for the dual messages, but wanted to clear this up. It didnt seem to want to work unless you use the USB C to C cable they provide with the monitor(tried 3 different ones before theirs). None of my other cables would work, no idea why. But after al of that, I'm happy to 100% confrim that the 1080P FHD 15.6 model does in fact work with the Steamdeck and only uses one cable. My particular monitor is model is called the S1 Table. Thank you for your time. Now, would ya happen to know where I can buy another of this exact cable that comes with the monitor? Or know of a link to one that does work?
I wonder if the 17.3" version works with Steam Deck and one cable?
I kinda gave up on emulator devices ( I even sold my RG351M ) I was planning on buying a Steam Deck but it was months ago, I just lost interest lol. I wanna get back on that world but I don't know what to buy, is the ( I wanted the second version) Steam Deck the best multi console ever still ?.
In its own price bracket yes AYA has a offering the AYA air with a OLED display but it's using the Ryzen 5550U which is a fair bit worse than the AND Van Gogh Custom. Moving up to around 1000 dollars 6800U handhelds from AYA, GPD and AOKZOE will outperform the steam deck by around 50%
@@zipperman6045 That's double the price tho :o
@@zipperman6045 nope not true. Steam deck was the best in its price range but it's not anymore. ayn loki max is 700 dollars. Aya neo 2 is 699. No reason to buy a deck next year when better handhelds are coming out. Unless ur buying the 400 dollar model. I do not recommend getting the 512 gb model anymore.
@@kiruoful double the price? Sure but it's actually available and u don't have to wait in a stupid que like I did for my steam deck plus better screen and bigger handhelds
So I’m having an issue with the switch. I plugged it into the monitor everything works fine. It shows that the switch it charging but the battery life is draining. Am i doing something wrong?
I personally want the portable monitor to be able to play surprisingly movies and shows on It from my phone. As well as my PS5 sometimes.
I got scared a bit in the bigining. I orderd one alredy. For laptop secundery screen and for my ps5. Hopefully going to be good for me. THX for the video :)
How can you see all those options to sat the monitor? I just can see brightness and volume
I believe u need to use the usb c input for it to work on 120hz

I am curious why I am getting a NO SIGNAL error in my Arzopa.
godsend for itx rigs, especially sub 10l
Have to be careful with the lower-priced ones. Some have much higher response times (6ms for the cheaper one in this case). I wouldn't recommend higher than 2ms for gaming. Great review, thanks!
6MS IS VERY GOOD WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT
@@yahyarahman1254 general consensus is that 6ms is too slow for gaming I think. If it works for you then more power to you.
@@alexshannon4352 thats not the general consensus tho is it, 6ms is really fast
@@yahyarahman1254 in my experience people would not want a monitor for gaming if it is 6ms and felt people should know that. If 6ms is fine for you then use it and be happy
@@alexshannon4352 any VA/IPS panel (aside from some newer QLED pannels) are usually around 6-8ms.

For £150, 144hz, 1080p with a 144hz response time of 2.7ms, this thing is s bargain trust 👍🏻
Hey man how did u connect your ps5 to the monitor ive been tryint and it doesnt detect the signal for whatever reason
I just bought one. I don’t know if I could turn up the volume and then for some reason why I play call of duty my screen goes black for a few seconds but right now I’m playing GTA. I’m not having any issues. Just the volume is kind of low.
Hi
My Arzopa monitor is flashing in colors and not showing the image. Sometimes when I disconnect it it works, but after a couple of seconds is off again. Does any of you have an idea why is this happening?
Warning to new buyers! This monitor does not support Freesync anymore, exact same A1 gaming model bought from European Amazon. It does have few improvements imo like just leather cover instead of carbon fiber looking one and Arzopa logo is now way smaller which I like but Freesync is completely missing which is a bummer.. still not bad deal but man I wish and thought It has it
Edit. It does not have Freesync option in menus anymore at all. But 120hz1080p does work on Xbox if you manually select HDMI from connection types instead of automatic
Is there a portable 1440p 120hz monitor out there?? That is the only resolution Xbox will do 120hz with unless you have a series X that does 4k.
I am looking for something like this but with 60hz FHD/2K refresh rate and something higher than 300 cd/m2 - 500 will be awesome. Any suggestions? It does not has to be Arzopa, just want it to use for programmig.
8:51 I am building an ITX PC that I could travel with, and so this screen would be good for it
Why didn't you try setting 144hz on windows based mini PCs? It shouldn't be a problem for 1080p resolution
The vast majority of mini PCs are spec'd to a max of 60Hz output even at a 1080p resolution, so even if MSI Afterburner reports higher than 60fps it's not actually outputting that.
@@RetroGameCorps I hope that my god win 4 will support 144hz :( I'll see tomorrow.
@@RetroGameCorps My screen just arrived and I can confirm that 144hz works without any problem on GPD Win 4.
Is there any oled one that doesn’t break the bank?
You could try a USB type C to HDMI for the Xbox to see if it work.
Do any of the portable monitors you’ve reviewed support the 40hz refresh rate? Might be something worth covering in the future 😋
Why do you want 40HZ?
@@sladehunter A lot of newer games on Steam Deck can only go up to roughly 40FPS consistently. Most can't reach a consistent 60FPS. So 40FPS will allow you to get a reasonable locked frame rate for most newer Steam Deck games instead of settling for only 30FPS. So 40Hz options are great for people who intend to use it with Steam Deck.
