you should definitely get a soundbar, i cant even stand to use my main tv without one after i got used to it. also they are dirt cheap and compact nowdays, one of those cheap onn ones at wal mart would do wonders. Altho Mine is a Vizio with Atmos and a subwoofer. It's actually pretty annoying as it often has bugs and doesnt always turn on correctly etc, but that's just that particular model, several years old it was well known for bugs, and i'm not going to spend 100's replacing it now. but the actual sound is great night and two days lol. Especially since TV speakers tend to be awful. if you can get one with a subwoofer it will be even much better, but anything will be great compared to a tv speakers.

the forhelp only came with a short maybe 2 ft (which I actually like it being short for a portable monitor) cable with male mini hdmi on one end and male hdmi on the other. so since it's my only mini hdmi cable i own, i have to use it with whatever device is using the monitor. would have been much better if they included adapters. just gonna grab some cheap adapters off amazon though.

Yea. I do have a soundbar with living room TV but I do high majority of my gaming on a 32" Samsung tv. After using toslink adapter attached to my portable speakers, it made the gaming more immersive experience even with 15.6" screen. Now it kind of feel weird to play without that nice bass. I am definitely going to look into a around $100 deal soundbar. I have toslink port on my 32" Samsung so I could use it with sports, chromecast/firestick apps, etc.

I bought VCE 2-Pack HDMI Mini Adapter (for chromecast/firestick)

I was finally able to connect my M2 macbook air today and looked great on A1C.
I just had to use the usb c-usb a to for power and usb c to usb c to connect Macbook to A1C.

Now next thing want to try is connecting iPhone/iPad. Tried connecting lightning to mini hdmi but did not work. If anyone has luck connecting iPad let me know what type of cable is required for that to work.

I have both the S1 Table and A1 Gamut monitors now. Each for like $75. Both work and look great. Both models were launched in April 2021. They probably just messed up your order and gave you the A1 Gamut. The boxes are pretty much identical. The bluetooth with my chromecast/firestick work awesome with my portable speakers and I just bought a toslink adapter for like $12 so I connect my ps2, ps3 and ps4 with both monitors. If people want to get a big upgrade with sound like with my sony/jbl speakers, it is available and can be done for pretty cheap with both monitors with a cheap adapter.

These portable monitors and especially the addition of the toslink adapter for the improved audio brought new life into my older game systems (PS2, PS3 and PS4).

No, I purchased the A1 Gamut, and received the A1 Gamut, but a different version without the audio jack, a different hinged stand, and with the buttons on the back of the monitor and not on the side.

As can be seen below, both the S1 and the A1 have the buttons on the side:

https://www.arzopa.com/products/a...op-monitor

Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, I kept this one vs. the Khuise due to the much better stand and speakers.

The S1 GAMUT ( Also known as the S1 Stand) is different than the A1 Gamut. I have both. Look closer at the sides. You will notice that S1 Stand has a rolling button, push button and a headphone jack on top . There are no side buttons on the A1 Gamut. Those are just ports. The A1 Gamut doesn't have that rolling button. It has 4 rear buttons. There aren't any rear buttons on the S1 Stand model.

The rear buttons are better on the A1 than the rolling button on the S1 Stand to me.

I didn't buy off the Arzopa website. I got them off Amazon.

S1 Stand (side buttons with audio jack, side speakers, folding cover)

A1 Gamut (rear buttons, downward firing speakers, higher contrast ratio, hinge cover, slimmer and more compact)

The A1 Gamut you link LITERALLY states and shows the power/return button (A), roll button (B), and 3.5mm audio out jack (C) on the side of the monitor brobot, there is nothing at all on the side of my monitor, maybe you received the same one I did but if you look at the pictures in the reviews you will see buttons on the side and an audio jack, none of which are present on my A1 Gamut…

The A1 Gamut on Amazon is completely different than the A1 Gamut on the company website. Look at the A1 Gamut on Amazon. Look closely at the sides. There are 2 versions of the A1 Gamut. I have the A1 Gamut from Amazon.... Don't look at the website A1 Gamut. Look at the model A1 Gamut from AMAZON. Did you buy it from A1 Gamut ( no headphone jack, hinge case, rear buttons) or the A1 Gamut (rolling side controller button, audio jack and folding case) from the website?

I have both the S1 Table model and A1 Gamut model and both were bought from Amazon. I didn't buy the their website.

Do not look at the company website. Look at the A1 Gamut model on Amazon as I am assuming you bought it from Amazon and not the company website. Completely different features than the A1 Gamut on their website. Look closely at the sides.

When I bought the A1 Gamut on Amazon, I definitely knew it was missing the audio jack, had rear buttons and had a hinge case. I never even checked out the company website. I went by with Amazon description.

The picture I attached is from the link you provided for the A1 Gamut from the Amazon website, it clearly has buttons on the side as well as a multitude of pictures on the reviews that also show buttons on the side…

Incorrect. Here is a link from Amazon. Where are the button on the side here? You are confusing ports as buttons. The buttons are on the rear from everyone who purchased the A1 Gamut in this Amazon deal. Look at the Amazon picture. Notice that it doesn't the toggle button, push button and audio jack like how my S1 Table had. .

Everybody got what they saw in the pictures and the description whether the S1 Table or A1 Gamut. Look at the sides. No buttons here. Just ports. The 4 buttons are on the rear just like you, I and everybody else got.

Did you buy from Amazon or their website? This is why nobody else mentions missing side buttons and missing audio jack.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091GFZ...tails&th=1

I have no idea where you got that picture but I do notice that it says $149.99. Do not pay $149.99 for the A1 Gamut.. On Amazon right now, the A1 Gamut is on sale for $74.99 and it shows 5 pictures and 1 video (none of that looks like your attached image). I live in the United States. Not sure if you are getting different products and prices from other countries. And that image you attached isn't on the Amazon website in the United States. This deal has almost 120K views and there isn't any other person mentioned getting the wrong product delivered or incorrect description.

The deal is back on for me right now at $74.99 after applying a $20 coupon clip but it is the A1 Gamut. I already purchased the A1 Gamut (Hinge cover, 4 rear buttons, no audio jack) before and the coupon is back again for me.

You don't see the roll button on the right side of the monitor in the link you sent yet again…? Boy you're dense… the previous picture was from the link you provided but from last night, price changed today… here is the picture yet again of the monitor in the link you sent with the roll button on the side… in these recent monitor threads there are people talking about the EXACT same thing, some people got what's on the picture, some got what I and what I think you got, and that's a monitor without the roll button on the side but with the buttons on the back of the monitor…

Please show me a picture of the buttons on the back in the link you provided. Thanks…

I don't see that specific picture anywhere on the Amazon website. It is insane that it costs $149.99 at your Amazon website but in the United States Amazon, it cost $74.99 after a $20 clip coupon.

There are 2 models of A1 Gamut. For some odd reason, only you out of like +100k viewers thinks that that everyone is getting the wrong shipped out models when the Amazon description and pictures are absolutely correct.

I am using chrome/Firefox and I live in the US.

Ever wonder why nobody is complaining about description and getting the "wrong product"? Sounds like user error if you went to the company website and thought you were getting the company website A1 Gamut with the hinge cover, side buttons and audio jack.

I bought the A1 Gamut off Amazon and got the exact model I the pictures and description. Amazopa isn't messing up orders or tons of people would be complaining... Not just one person who is confused with the Amazopa website and Amazon.

* Amazon shows the 5 pictures and video on the main site but when I click and scroll to pictures (8 pictures), I see the buttons on the right side. It is an earlier model pic that should be taken off. In the description, they never stated audio output. The newer model is improved with the rear buttons vs side buttons. I knew it had rear buttons and no audio output from the description and posters comments. I read the specs from the Amazon website and not this original slickdeal poster.

I'm on vacation, I live in the US. Glad we're on the same page though, the pictures reflect another model on the main page but when you scroll down it indeed shows the newer model (which wasn't the case when I ordered this whenever the deal first came out, most people were still getting the old model with the shitty stand and buttons on the side), I never contested this fact, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS SAYING; simple, holy $hit you're a blabbering idiot… I'm not the "only" one, when I ordered the A1 Gamut I got a different monitor than what is on the pictures and the seller reached out to me to explain, see pics attached.

I didn't need to see picture with rear buttons. Not a priority for me. I read the comments in the slickdeals thread and everyone knew that. I also noticed that the A1 Gamut never stated it has audio jack. I can read the description. Duh. Never said it anywhere. User error from you to assume it did. I go by why Amazon description and comments in the thread.... You made the mistake by looking at the Amazopa website and assumed it was the same model and features. You are confused and maybe looked at the S1 Table model too and made the audio jack assumption.

Only reason I looked at the Arzopa website is because I received two different monitors when I ordered them 1 day apart… Of note is that I kept the one without the audio jack because I don't need it, how is that "user error", I'm just stating facts, two different models were being sent out… I was never confused, other people on these threads also received different models…
