4. Setup and Connection

The ARZOPA Z3FC monitor offers versatile connectivity options. Ensure your device supports video output via USB-C (DisplayPort Alternate Mode) or HDMI.

4.1. Powering the Monitor

• Via USB-C (Single Cable): If your device (laptop, smartphone, tablet) has a full-functioned USB-C port that supports power delivery and video output, you can connect it to either USB Type-C Port 1 or 2 on the monitor using one of the provided USB-C to USB-C cables. This single cable will provide both power and display signal.
• Via USB-C (Separate Power): If your device's USB-C port does not provide sufficient power, or if you are connecting via HDMI, you will need an external power source. Connect a USB-C power adapter (not included, 65W recommended for optimal performance) to one of the monitor's USB Type-C ports.
• Note: For optimal brightness and performance, especially when using HDR or with power-intensive devices like gaming consoles, an external power adapter (minimum 65W) connected to the monitor is highly recommended.

4.2. Connecting to Devices

Choose the appropriate connection method based on your source device:

• USB Type-C Connection (Full-functioned):
  Connect one end of the USB-C to USB-C cable to your device's full-functioned USB-C port and the other end to either USB Type-C Port 1 or 2 on the monitor. This connection supports laptops, MacBooks, compatible smartphones, and tablets.
• HDMI & USB Type-C Connection:
  If your device has an HDMI output (e.g., PC, PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch via dock), connect the Mini HDMI to HDMI cable from your device to the Mini HDMI port on the monitor. Then, connect a USB-C power adapter to one of the monitor's USB Type-C ports for power.
