Our editor swears by the

I found a great deal on our hardware editor’s favorite portable monitor, with the Arzopa Z3FC 16.1-inch Portable Monitor dropping to $150 (was $170) on Amazon right now.

In his own testing, our editor Steve praised its ultra-light and thin design, crisp high-resolution visuals, and called it “perfectly balanced for work and play.” And, just to prove how good it is, he still uses it daily as a second work screen without any complaints.

A 2560 x 1440 resolution delivers sharp details on the matte display, while 400 nits of brightness and a 1000:1 contrast ratio keep images vibrant without straining your eyes during long sessions. In the UK, the Arzopa Z3FC is also reduced to £130 (was £160) at Amazon.

The best portable monitor deal right now

In his full review, Steve called it “perfectly balanced for work and play”, using it for both professional productivity tasks and gaming. He added that “there’s not much I didn’t like about this 16.1-inch screen.”

Color coverage reaches 107% sRGB, giving photos, videos and creative projects more punch without looking overdone. HDR support also adds better depth to compatible content on supported devices.

An impressive 180Hz refresh rate keeps movements smooth while scrolling, editing, or fast-paced entertainment. It also reduces blurring compared to slower portable displays in the same price range.

Connecting everything is simple as the two full USB-C ports and mini HDMI cover laptops, Macs, PS5, Xbox, Steam Deck, and PCs.

The built-in kickstand makes it easy to find a comfortable viewing angle, and its lightweight construction means it won’t become awkward while commuting or commuting between home and work.

You can switch between landscape and portrait modes, making it easier to manage documents, coding, reading, and reference materials outside of your main screen.

Eye-care features help reduce strain during prolonged use, while the matte screen eliminates distracting reflections under bright indoor lighting and everyday office conditions.

At $149.99, it’s not the cheapest portable monitor on the market, but the combination of features makes it an absolute winner for what you get.
