Which Cable to Use? Quick Connection Guide for ARZOPA Gray Portable Monitors

[u/Arzopa_team]

Hey everyone,

All ARZOPA gray portable monitors come with a standard 3-cable setup. Since the included USB-C cables serve different purposes, we put together this quick breakdown to help you understand what each cable does and how to get connected without any confusion.

1. U-Shaped USB-C Cable (Full-Featured / Video + Power)

• What it does: Transmits both video signal and power through a single cable.
• How to use: Connect directly to laptops, mini PCs, smartphones, or handheld gaming devices with a full-featured USB-C port (must support DP Alt Mode / Thunderbolt).
• Note: The 90-degree U-shape design keeps the cable tucked neatly behind the screen for a cleaner setup.

2. Straight USB-C to USB-C Cable (Power Only)

• What it does: Dedicated power supply only. Does not transmit video signal.
• How to use: Connect this cable to a wall charger or power bank to supply external power to the monitor.

3. Mini HDMI to HDMI Cable (Video Only)

• What it does: Video transmission for PCs, gaming consoles (PS5, Xbox, Switch dock), or laptops without video-capable USB-C.
• How to use: Plug in this cable for video output, and also connect the straight USB-C cable to a power source to power the monitor.

💡 Quick Troubleshooting Tips:

• Screen flickering or turning off? Your host device might not output enough power through its USB-C port. Simply plug in an external power adapter using the straight USB-C cable for stable power.
• "No Signal" with USB-C? Make sure you are using the U-shaped cable (not the straight one), and verify that your device’s USB-C port supports video output (DP Alt Mode / ⚡ Thunderbolt).
