At times like these, a portable monitor might be just what you need.

When offered the chance to test theArzopa Z1RC Portable Monitor, I was ready to give it a shot.
It’s a 2.5K QHD display, so I had big expectations for the display.
Here’s how the Arzopa Z1RC worked out.
You can use the Arpoza Z1RC portable monitor with an iPad, gaming console, or laptop computer.Lifewire / Jerri Ledford
When I learned that I could connect it to my iPad, I (of course) did.

Other devices, however, may need a second connection to ensure that the tablet is fully powered.
I didn’t try either combination, but it’s something to keep in mind.
I had the gadget unpackaged, connected, and adjusted in less than 5 minutes.

Arpoza Z1RC Portable Monitor Picture
Let’s talk about the picture on the Z1RC.
The image displayed was darker than I would have wanted, especially for a QHD display.

Is the Arpoza Z1RC Portable Monitor Worth It?
This is the third portable monitor that I’ve tried.
But is this specific one worth the cost?
It also has a full 16-inch screen while weighing about the same as the others I’ve tested.
And there are the speakers, which isn’t that common in this space.
