Arzopa Z1FC Grey Monitor Blends Portability With Purpose for On-the-Go Users

A grey finish, 144Hz refresh rate, and featherlight frame make this $150 screen a top pick for students, coders, gamers, and digital nomads alike.

A portable monitor that doesn’t look clunky, overheat, or fumble with finicky ports? That’s what Arzopa is betting on with its new Z1FC Grey Portable Monitor. Equal parts sleek and useful, this lightweight screen is drawing attention from budget-conscious gamers and coffee shop creatives for all the right reasons.

Arzopa didn’t change much from its original black Z1FC model — except, arguably, what matters most: style. The updated grey variant feels more like something you’d want to pull out in a boardroom or co-working café. And at just $150, it hits that rare sweet spot between function and form without breaking the bank.

A Featherweight Build That Doesn’t Feel Cheap

Weighing just 1.7 pounds, the Z1FC Grey slips into most bags like it’s barely there. Honestly, you could forget you packed it.

Its 9.3mm thickness — about the width of a pencil — puts it on par with many tablets. This makes it perfect for folks who already lug around a laptop, charger, and water bottle and don’t want to feel like a pack mule.

One quick press of the built-in kickstand and you’re in business. Whether it’s an 8am lecture or a midnight debugging marathon, the stand holds its ground. You can tilt the monitor from flat to 80 degrees, giving you plenty of wiggle room for comfortable viewing.

Yes, it’s plastic. But it’s sturdy plastic. Nothing about it screams fragile.

Performance That Punches Above Its Price Tag

The 16.1-inch IPS panel holds up well, especially considering the price. With a full HD 1080p resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, it’s surprisingly smooth for everything from editing reels to climbing Valorant ranks.

Gamers get a treat here: zero noticeable ghosting or input lag during casual sessions. And for creative folks, color accuracy is solid — Arzopa claims 106% sRGB, which means the screen reproduces most everyday colors decently enough for content creation.

One quick sentence: It’s not a MacBook Pro display, but it’s more than good enough for 90% of users.

Midway through testing, one thing became clear: this isn’t just a novelty screen. It’s something you can use daily, not just in a pinch.

• 16.1-inch IPS display

• Full HD 1080p resolution

• 144Hz refresh rate

• 106% sRGB color space

• 300 nits brightness

Connectivity That Just Works — No Tech Degree Required

Some portable displays make setup feel like you’re defusing a bomb. The Z1FC Grey? Plug, play, done.

The dual USB-C ports and mini HDMI give you a decent range of options. Most laptops, tablets, and even smartphones with DisplayPort support can power the screen with a single USB-C cable. And that’s huge.

For devices that aren’t quite there — like older laptops or consoles — the mini HDMI steps in. Arzopa includes the cables you’ll need, which is a small but very appreciated touch. No last-minute Amazon orders or adapter scavenger hunts.

There’s also built-in auto-rotation. Flip it to portrait mode, and it reorients itself automatically — a blessing for coders and PDF warriors.

This one feature might be underrated, but wow, does it save time.

From Café Corners to Dorm Room Setups

Some gadgets fit neatly into one lifestyle. The Z1FC Grey doesn’t care what kind of user you are — it just works.

College students can use it as a second screen for notes and slides. Office workers will appreciate the extra screen real estate for spreadsheets or Zoom meetings. Even console gamers can fire up the PS5 on it in a hotel room, no questions asked.

The grey finish, by the way, is clean. Not too flashy, not too dull. Just the right kind of modern. You won’t feel weird whipping it out in a client meeting or beside your MacBook in a cafe.

And for those long sessions? It holds up. No heating, no weird flickering, no power hiccups.

One-sentence paragraph: It’s kind of shocking how quiet and cool it stays, even after a couple of hours.

Value That’s Hard to Beat at $150

Most decent portable monitors start north of $200. The Z1FC Grey delivers a lot for $150 — and that’s before you factor in the included cables and color-matched case.

Honestly, it’s the kind of deal you don’t see too often in the tech world. Especially not with 144Hz refresh rates and this level of portability.

It won’t replace your main screen. But it’ll absolutely make your workflow — or game night — a lot smoother.

And let’s face it, $150 for that kind of utility is a steal.
