Few beers and kinda high, but I need this thing in my life.
Thanks again.
1) You aren't using the bottom most USB C port which supports enough power (the top USB c port should be used to power the monitor).
2) You are using a USB C to C cable that you already own, which has probably charged your switch on power banks or wall power no issue. However that cable may not support video/data only charging!!! In that case, use the included USB C to C cable with the monitor which supports video/data.
Hope this helps at least 1 person.

You using the external power? Or have HDR enabled?
yeah poring over the listing pictures, the khuise 15.6 and the forhelp 15.6 dont appear to be the exact same monitor rebadged as i initially suspected. the forhelp has an additional usb c OTG port on one side that the khuise simply doesnt.
the forhelp seems high build quality and as i dont see any glaring issues such as dead pixels (altho i havent painstakingly checked) i'll likely keep it. i have it paired with my tg-16 mini console currently and works great for that. could also it it for security cameras, raspberry pi tinkering or pairing with a mini pc. just wish the top end brightness and pop was a little better but asking for the moon from a 80 dollar chinese monitor seems unlikely. i also noticed fwiw the forhelp had a lot of reviews and was rated very highly, 5 star average over 1000+ ratings, so that also makes me feel better about keeping it.
Edit: Now I started looking at the Arzopa. It claims 300 cd/mm (but then again the forhelp does too and seems to be false). It has an full size HDMI built in, and a much better case design which may be worth it alone. it is currently 10 more at 90 after coupon tho. i dunno i might order it and if it's good return the forhelp. again the case design and fuill size hdmi seem worth it, and it might be brighter but that would remain to be seen..
this is NOT the same Arzopa as in the OP. That one only has mini HDMI and is 75 after coupon.
EDIT # 4 BILLION I guess this is the S1 vs A1 discussion that is going on. The A1 does not have a audio out jack, and I suppose that is a bit of an issue although i dont use it currently. Back to provisionally sticking with the forhelp (which does have a 3.5mm jack).
Anyone with the Arzopa S1 can comment on the brightness? Gets bright?

Please link the Arzopa that has a full size hdmi. I saw one on Amazon that matches your description, but comments in the Questions section say that it has a mini hdmi.

says in the illustrations it has full size hdmi anyway.
there are two versions, a 60 hz for 99 nominally and a 144 hz for 149 nominally. the 144hz only has mini hdmi. the 60 hz has full size hdmi.
I guess HDMI to mini HDMI adapters are small and $7 for a two pack on Amazon anyway. Although it's still an extra hassle/more fragile. Also I'd wonder about HDMI 2.1 support and all that (the 6.99 I saw only was HDMI 2.0) if you need/want it.

to add it works fine with a portable power brick. many hours like at least ten. very nifty camping or road trip device.
I've been impressed with the KHUISE B0BSCWS8QX (actually says Auleset on the monitor). Good quality, slim bezel, nice cover/stand. Works well over single USB-C cable. Maybe not the best off-angle viewing though not a concern. Has HDR for streaming videos. None of the specs are listed though I imagine a lot of these panels mentioned in this thread are similar. Worth getting it, especially at the sale price.
At that point it's bright enough I'd believe the 300 nits claim, and I'm happy with it. thrilled honestly, neat tech for 80 dollars.
game would normally be lower latency, but as this is essentially an ips pc monitor it should by nature be low latency. i suspect game mode doesnt do anything but fiddle with the brightness/contrast according to some chinese engineer's idea of best for a certain application, like i suspect the other modes (RTS=brighter so you can see the little units better, maybe, etc). if i dont feel any latency in other modes when gaming i certainly wont bother with game mode.
i guess one concern i might have on any of these is if the little settings...thing breaks, they seem fragile as well as hard to operate.
my jump starter brick thingy will run both the monitor and the snes mini since it has two usb-c outputs. did not appear to be drawing power down very quickly either, although i didnt do it long. neat. in a power outage i could play snes to my hearts content, which i totally wouldn't do because i'd be burning up from lack of ac, lol.

I have been so impressed with both monitors whether gaming, casting, chromecast/firestick, etc.. When I use the Prozor Toslink adapter with the playstation 2,3 and 4 to my portable speakers, it really makes the gaming experience better. Now I kind of want to buy a soundbar for my 32" Samsung TV.
Some quibbles though... The magnetic A1 Gamut stand is less stable than I'd like and when I briefly tried, I could not get it to work with just one USB C cable to my Mac Mini M2 like my previous portable Dell monitor. I ended up just using the USB cable for power and HDMI cable. Maybe I'm missing something but not a big deal.
I do wish they had full HDMI ports instead of mini ones. But the image quality and color seems very good and I was impressed with that.
Brightness is good too. I don't like my eyes blown out so I dropped the brightness to around 70-80.
The OSD controls on the A Gamut drove me crazy for a bit until I better figured out how the buttons work. The OSD controls on the S1 Table seemed more intuitive and easier to use.
I plan on keeping both monitors. Each was about $75+tax.
I have a (much) more expensive portable Dell monitor but it is smaller (not good for my old eyes) and it has no HDMI connection which is a big limitation. The Arzopas are bigger and more functional, albeit with a larger screen size and weight.
