Moveable OLED expose ASUS ZenScreen in overview: Amazing image quality and color home coverage

OLé OLED. The producer advertises the feather-light (650 g) secondary expose primarily with excessive color accuracy (100% DCI-P3), the excessive brightness (400 nits height), instant response time (1 ms), HDR10, and so forth. We check what the Asus OLED is dazzling for and whether or not the charges of direction flip out that factual.

Expose: The producer might perhaps exhaust parts from somewhat about a suppliers alongside side expose panels, drives or memory sticks with same specs.

The case of the 15.6-bolt ZenScreen is especially made of steel, and most sensible the shadowy expose frame is made of plastic. Thus, the display camouflage is somewhat stable. Nevertheless it’s restful light – the producer states most sensible 650 g and that’s also precisely the payment that our own scales expose. Thus, it’s even lighter than the 780 g of the IPS version.

The expose can every so often be zigzag, nonetheless the plastic frame can crack infrequently. The maximum thickness is dazzling below 9 mm, nonetheless that most sensible applies to the lower third of the expose. It is miles even thinner above, we measured about 5 mm.

A brand unique tripod thread is found on the lower, thicker halt – very expeditiously-witted! The central threaded connector protrudes about a millimeters from the casing over again.

The color is silver-grey, the Asus emblem is emblazoned in reflective letters on the abet, and the producer has also made a expose below the expose on the front.

There are now most sensible dinky, narrow support an eye on buttons on the left edge. The “hole” for the stand has disappeared; the characteristic is now taken over by an integrated magnetic case that will most definitely also be folded into a stand.

The warranty length for the product in Germany is three years.

Equipment include a refined-having a search brown/blue conceal or “gorgeous case” on the one hand, and surprisingly, the packaging itself. The latter deserve to be saved since it’s miles going to even be transformed into a video display conceal in about a steps. Reflections are then reduced at boring night, shadowy field and the color intensity is reinforced by less incident light.

The brown Honest Case, on the somewhat about a hand, not most sensible protects the panel from scratches nonetheless might most definitely also be folded and unfolded in various methods to create various stand methods for the video display. It also adheres magnetically to the expose casing and might perhaps thus even be removed with out effort.

On the opposite hand, we had primarily the most problems with the conceal. It will even be bent in so many places that it’s intriguing to procure the expose into a expeditiously-witted reveal as any other of a semi-recumbent one since the conceal in total bends very with out effort. It is not in particular stable as a stand.

There will not be this form of thing as a VESA mount, a tripod is basically helpful for intensive exhaust.

Price Response Times

↔    Response Time Black to White
1.6 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ blended	↗ 0.8 ms rise
	↘ 0.8 ms fall
The display camouflage reveals very instant response charges in our exams and deserve to be thoroughly suited for instant-paced gaming. In comparability, all tested devices vary from 0.4 (minimal) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 2 % of all devices are higher. This implies that the measured response time is more fit than the typical of all tested devices (22.7 ms).
↔    Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
0.8 ms … rise ↗ and fall ↘ blended	↗ 0.5 ms rise
	↘ 0.3 ms fall
The display camouflage reveals very instant response charges in our exams and deserve to be thoroughly suited for instant-paced gaming. In comparability, all tested devices vary from 0.25 (minimal) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 0 % of all devices are higher. This implies that the measured response time is more fit than the typical of all tested devices (35.9 ms).

Display camouflage Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

Display camouflage flickering / PWM detected	485 Hz
The expose backlight sparkles at 485 Hz (Seemingly using PWM) . The frequency of 485 Hz within reason excessive, so most customers sensitive to PWM might perhaps restful not seek for any flickering. On the opposite hand, there are reports that some customers are restful sensitive to PWM at 500 Hz and above, so be conscious. In comparability: 53 % of all tested devices attain not exhaust PWM to shadowy the expose. If PWM became detected, a median of 19555 (minimal: 5 – maximum: 3846000) Hz became measured.

Asus primarily advertises the excessive color home coverage of allegedly 100% DCI-P3 and the Delta E of less than 2. The latter will not be specified in more component, nonetheless it surely is factual per our measurements for the grayscale, where the deviation is of direction below the label of 2.

On the opposite hand, the color deviation is higher and might perhaps not be improved by a singular calibration; the panel is practically completely adjusted ex-manufacturing unit.

Allegedly, the ZenScreen achieves 100% DCI-P3 coverage, which we might perhaps additionally verify. Even AdobeRGB is lined by about 96%, and sRGB with the DCI-P3 is lined practically totally. Thus, the OLED is also dazzling for expert photo or video bettering.

Clearly, the shimmering flooring is anxious outside, nonetheless the factual brightness and the solid shadowy level manufacture up for that somewhat. On the opposite hand, which that you might restful get a shady space and be particular that the viewing attitude is scream.

The ZenScreen stays cool with out a fan in all cases. Even the energy present barely heats up at around 30 °C.

(+) The average temperature for the higher facet below maximal load is 23 °C / 73 F, when compared with the typical of 31.2 °C / 88 F for the devices within the class Multimedia.
(+) The maximum temperature on the higher facet is 26 °C / 79 F, when compared with the typical of 36.8 °C / 98 F, starting from 21.1 to 71 °C for the class Multimedia.
(+) The bottom heats as much as a maximum of 25 °C / 77 F, when compared with the typical of 39.1 °C / 102 F
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than pores and skin temperature with a maximum of 26 °C / 78.8 F and are for this reason truth cool to the contact.
(+) The average temperature of the palmrest space of same devices became 28.9 °C / 84 F (+2.9 °C / 5.2 F).

Besides its dimension, the energy consumption of an OLED mainly depends upon the displayed recount material. The LEDs merely about flip off in shadowy, so unlike IPS panels, shadowy recount material consumes less than very brilliant recount material.

When having a search via script within the fashioned, white Windows theme, the display camouflage consumes about 11 W at a brightness of 100 percent. Asus itself states that the consumption is below 15 W, which we can verify.

Related via USB-C to a DisplayPort-capable USB-C port of a notebook, the ZenScreen doesn’t need an further energy present and is powered by the notebook.

And these that need a in actuality mobile expose also can energy the ZenScreen with a sufficiently solid energy financial institution. The expose can address 5 to 12 V at 2 A.

On the opposite hand, it will be tight at 5 V and a pair of A in look of the consumption. It restful works, nonetheless the brightness is reduced to 80 percent when connecting to 1 other PC via USB-C.
