ARZOPA S1 Table 15.6-inch Portable Monitor: features, specs and who it suits

The ARZOPA S1 Table is a 15.6-inch portable monitor that works as an extra screen for a laptop, desktop, console or phone. It is thin and light enough to carry in a laptop bag, and ARZOPA says a single USB-C cable can deliver both video signal and power.

Display

The screen is a 15.6-inch IPS panel with a 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) resolution and an anti-glare finish. ARZOPA states a 60Hz refresh rate, which is the standard rate for office and video use. IPS panels typically show consistent colour from wider angles, which helps when the screen is shared or used on a table. The monitor also supports HDR according to the listing title.

One cable, plug and play

ARZOPA says there is no app or driver to install. With a single USB-C cable, the monitor can receive video and draw power from the host device, as long as the port supports it. The listing adds that phones need a full-featured USB port. For devices that lack video output over USB-C, the mini HDMI port provides an alternative route. Mini HDMI usually means the monitor needs separate power through its other USB-C port.

Ports and compatibility

The S1 Table has dual USB-C ports and a mini HDMI port. The listing names PC, Mac, phones, Xbox, Switch and PS4 and PS5, and says the mini HDMI port suits any laptop. In general, if a device can output video over USB-C or HDMI, it can use a monitor like this.

Size, weight and cover

The monitor is about 0.4 inch (roughly 1 cm) thick at its listed dimensions and weighs about 1.6 lb (around 0.73 kg); ARZOPA's feature text gives 1.7 lb. A smart cover is included. These covers usually fold into a stand that holds the screen at an angle, and also protect the panel in a bag.

Who it suits

It suits remote workers, students and travellers who want more screen space for documents, spreadsheets and video calls than a laptop provides. It also suits people who want a small screen for a console. Because it is 60Hz, it is less aimed at competitive gaming than the higher refresh rate models in the same range.

What to check before you buy

• USB-C capability: confirm that your laptop or phone port supports video output and enough power.
• Power source: a phone may not power the screen for long, so plan for a charger or power bank.
• Cables: see which cables come in the box and whether you need a mini HDMI cable.
• Stand: try the smart cover on your desk or table to see if the viewing angle suits you.
• Brightness and colour: check the manual if you edit photos or work outdoors.
