mini Sparkle Motion prototype - a tiny, fully-featured WLED board ✨🔌📏💡🌈

We're doing a lot of serious testing with our WLED mega-board, code-name Sparkle Motion .

While doing some holiday lighting projects, we also wanted something slim enough to slip into any design. It still uses an ESP32 for the best support, with USB-serial programming, 5A fuse, 5V level shifting + 100 ohm series resistors for pixel drivers, user/reset buttons, a user LED and onboard neopixel, JST SH analog/digital connector, QT I2C connector, 4 GPIO plus power/ground breakouts, and USB type C power/data input.

However, this version is made simpler and less expensive by dropping the DC jack and USB PD support: it's only for 5V strips if you want to power them directly (you could still drive 12V or 24V pixels, but you'll need separate power for them). Instead of a full set of terminal blocks for 3 signals, we only have two outputs, and they have to share the power and ground pins. It could also be used for a single two-pin dotstar LED setup. We kept the built-in I2S mic but dropped the on-board IR sensor - if you want an IR sensor, you'll be able to plug it into the JST SH port with a simple cable or solder it into the breakout pads.

The trade-off is that it's much smaller and slimmer, especially when no terminal blocks are soldered in by default: only 1.2" long x 0.785" wide (~1 sq in) x 0.3" thick vs. the original's 2" x 1.3" (2.6 sq in) x 0.55". To get it that small, we went 4-layer to give us a nice big ground and 5V plane in the middle and double-sided assembly. Coming soon.

ARZOPA Z1FC 144Hz Portable Gaming Monitor Review: A Surprisingly Powerful Travel Buddy

1. Introduction

Alright, let me just say this upfront: I didn’t think I needed a portable monitor. But after using the ARZOPA Z1FC, I get it now. Whether you’re gaming on your Steam Deck, working from a coffee shop, or just want a second screen that doesn’t feel like hauling a boulder — you’re going to love what this thing offers.

It’s got a big 16.1″ screen, a super-smooth 144 Hz refresh rate, and it weighs next to nothing. It even props itself up with a built-in kickstand. Seriously, this little guy brings desktop-level display vibes without the bulk. But is it perfect? Not quite. Let’s dig in and see where it shines — and where it stumbles a bit.

More Info Buy The Product Here>>>

2. Product Information

So, the Z1FC is a 16.1″ Full HD IPS portable monitor with a resolution of 1920×1080. It covers 100% of the sRGB color spectrum, which is pretty solid for the price. Brightness hits around 300 nits (bright enough for indoor use), and the refresh rate is a silky-smooth 144Hz. Translation? Fast motion looks clean, which is a big win for gamers.

It’s also thin (about 0.3″) and super light (just under 2 pounds). Feels like holding a tablet with a bigger screen and fewer fingerprints.

In the box, you’ll get:

USB‑C to USB‑C cable

USB‑C to USB‑A cable

Mini‑HDMI to HDMI cable

The monitor itself (with a built-in adjustable kickstand)

Now, here’s the kicker: no built-in battery. This baby needs external power — either from a wall brick or your device. But what’s cool is that it supports USB-C passthrough charging, so you can juice up your monitor and, say, your Switch or Steam Deck all at once. Pretty handy when you’re on the move.

3. Why People Prefer This Product

🎮 One-Cable Simplicity = Pure Joy

If you’ve ever wrestled with tangled cords or brought the wrong adapter (we’ve all been there), this will feel like a breath of fresh air. Plug one USB-C cable into the monitor, the other into your console or laptop, and boom — you’re powered and connected.

Reddit users were raving about this, saying stuff like:

“It’ll work AND charge the console at the same time. It’s awesome.”

And yeah — they weren’t wrong.

💼 Portable Without Feeling Cheap

I was surprised by how solid this thing feels. Unlike some other portable displays that wobble or feel like they’ll tip over if you breathe too hard, the Z1FC feels sturdy. The aluminum shell helps with that. And the built-in kickstand? Game-changer. It’s adjustable, doesn’t require a clunky folio case, and just works.

Also, this thing slides easily into a 16″ laptop bag. I’ve thrown it in a backpack alongside my MacBook and barely noticed the extra weight. Whether you’re working from a café or flying cross-country, it travels well.

💸 Price vs Performance = Sweet Spot

Honestly, when I saw this monitor had 144Hz, I expected it to cost closer to $250. But nope — this thing often goes for under $150 on Amazon. For that kind of money, you’re getting great visuals, fast refresh, and the versatility to game or work anywhere.

People online keep calling it “amazing value,” and I gotta agree.

4. Features, Warranty & Service

⭐ Features at a Glance:

16.1″ 1080p IPS panel

144Hz refresh rate (seriously smooth!)

100% sRGB coverage for decent color accuracy

300 nits brightness

Anti-glare coating — thank goodness

2x full-feature USB-C ports (video, data, and charging)

1x mini-HDMI port

Built-in kickstand

Dual 1W speakers (not amazing, but usable)

⚡ Setup & Power Tips

This isn’t one of those plug-it-in-anyway-you-want kind of deals. It works best with a 15W+ power brick or better (think 5V/3A or higher). If you skimp on the power source, the screen might flicker, restart, or refuse to hit 144Hz. Been there, learned the hard way.

And if you’re using it with a Nintendo Switch, make sure to use the original power adapter. Third-party chargers can be hit or miss, and trust me — you don’t want a blank screen mid-Zelda.

🛠️ Warranty & Support

Arzopa’s support seems responsive, and they offer around a 1-year warranty (though it’s best to double-check depending on where you buy). Their website has plenty of setup guides and FAQs, which is great if you’re not tech-savvy.

5. Other User Opinions

👍 What People Love

“Lightweight, sleek, and sturdy”

“Perfect match for my Steam Deck”

“Works with passthrough charging like a charm”

“Kickstand is clutch — better than those magnetic case types”

👎 What People Didn’t Love

Some users mentioned USB-C ports can be finicky, especially with non-standard cables or hubs

A few reports of screen cracking after drops — so yeah, be gentle with it

Power issues at 144Hz without proper charging — use quality cables

It’s a standard 8-bit color panel, so if you’re doing pro-level photo editing, this ain’t it

Still, for casual use, gaming, and everyday work? It ticks a lot of boxes.

6. Worth It or Not?

✅ Worth It If You:

Want a budget-friendly, high refresh rate monitor for travel, gaming, or second screen use

Own a Steam Deck, Switch, ROG Ally, or a USB-C laptop

Don’t need 4K or 10-bit color accuracy

Are okay using external power and taking care not to drop it

❌ Maybe Skip It If You:

Need professional-level color accuracy for design/editing

Can’t guarantee good power supply (no adapter included)

Want a tough-as-nails monitor — this isn’t built to survive drops

Expect booming sound — it has speakers, but they’re not concert-worthy

7. Final Verdict

Here’s the deal: the ARZOPA Z1FC isn’t some ultra-premium, mind-blowing display — but it doesn’t pretend to be either. It’s affordable, lightweight, surprisingly fast, and honestly really fun to use.

I’ve used it for editing Google Docs on the road, watching Netflix from my phone, and even playing Elden Ring on my Steam Deck (yes, 144Hz totally makes a difference). It’s not perfect — there are quirks with power and cables — but once you dial it in, it’s awesome.

If you’re hunting for a budget-friendly, high-performance portable monitor, this one is absolutely worth checking out.

Final Score: 8.8/10

Fast, light, affordable, and actually kind of stylish.

Trying to design a great WLED board 🌈🦄🦃

While waiting for the turkey to finish brining, we're designing a board for using WLED - and we want to make like the bestest board in the whole world.

Our resident mermaid, firepixie

, makes a lot of projects with WLED, and she loves it! So, how can we make something that will be powerful but not too bulky? Here are some things we're thinking about as the design starts to congeal like cranberry sauce:

Power via USB Type C PD with a slide switch that selects between 5, 12, and 20V (24V pixels can usually run fine at 20V) OR via a 2.1mm DC jack. With ideal diodes, it's good for up to 5A from either.

ESP32-Mini module with built-in or optional wFL antenna port. The classic '32 has broad support, even if we'd prefer the 'S2 or 'S3.

There are three output signal terminal block sets, with power and ground for each. They'll be level-shifted to 5V.

Built in I2S microphone (we're still pondering this one).

Stemma QT I2C port to connect external sensors/OLEDs/etc.; separate analog/digital input JST port.

1.3"x1.75" / 33mm x 45mm size with mounting holes.

Anything we're missing, anything that's extraneous?

Get ready to dominate the battlefield anywhere with the upcoming launch of the Lenovo Legion Tablet in India! This powerhouse tablet, arriving on July 20th, boasts the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 SoC and a buttery smooth 144Hz display, making it a dream device for mobile gamers. While other manufacturers like Asus have dabbled in the "gaming tablet" space with Windows devices, the Lenovo Legion Tablet takes a different approach, offering a pure Android gaming experience.
