We compared two portable second-screen monitors: the ARZOPA Z1FC and the UPERFECT Touchscreen 15.6-inch.
What we looked at
Refresh rate, colour gamut, touch capability, connectivity, and price.
The verdict
If you want a 16.1-inch monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate and 106% sRGB colour for smoother gaming visuals, the ARZOPA Z1FC is the gaming-focused pick, at £119.99. If you would rather have a 15.6-inch 10-point touchscreen with 125% sRGB and an included laptop sleeve, at the same £119.99, the UPERFECT is the touch-focused option.
A £119.99 16.1-inch monitor with a 144Hz refresh rate and 106% sRGB colour.
A £119.99 15.6-inch touchscreen monitor with 125% sRGB colour and an included sleeve case.
