Once you get used to having a second monitor for work or play, going back to one just feels, well, wrong. That’s why portable monitors have become such a hot tech item over the past few years. We’ve seen ultra-thin ones and accessibly priced ones, but this model from Arzopa that’s on sale right now at Amazon for 24% off might take the cake.
This FHD monitor with HDMI, mini HDMI, and USB-C connections is thin, lightweight, abundantly portable, and priced to move at just $114. But what really sets this one apart is that it’s big — 17.3 inches, while maintaining the same 9.3mm thickness of smaller models. A built-in kickstand is at the ready for you to set up this impressive portable monitor wherever you go.
Universally Compatible
This Arzopa portable monitor works via direct USB-C hookup for Mac and PC laptops, USB-C tablets and smartphones, and the Nintendo Switch. The HDMI and mini HDMI hookups work with PCs and mini PCs, and full-sized consoles like the Xbox and PlayStation models 3 thru 5. Regardless of the hookup or device, it’s a plug-and-play operation, with no need for downloading drivers or apps.
Once connected, the Arzopa portable monitor is enormously versatile. It can be used in landscape or portrait mode, and easily toggled between three display modes to duplicate the picture on your main device, extend the picture, or serve as an independent second display. The 103% sRBG IPS screen is sharp, clear, rich with colors, and reactive enough for those gaming consoles. With its papery 9.3mm thin construction and weight of barely 2 pounds, it’s ready for the road, although adding the sold-separately sleeve bag for protection is probably a good idea.
Stands Tall and Sturdy
As stellar as the technical specs of the Arzopa 17.3-inch portable monitor are, the best unsung feature might be the built-in kickstand, which is far more rigid and therefor more sturdy than the combo cover-stand setups that most portable monitors are sold with. While those stands seem to require at least a basic knowledge of origami to get it into the proper standing configuration and even then find a way to sag or tip over, the Arzopa’s kickstand is firm and able to easily hold the monitor in several adjustable upright positions to suit your taste.
Amazon’s 24%-off limited-time sale on the Arzopa 17.3-inch portable monitor is the best way to lock yourself into never having to go with just one screen again, especially if you’re used to a big second screen. Lightweight, versatile, universally compatible, and ready to hit the road, this Arzopa portable display is a steal at just $114.
