The ASUS ZenScreen Fold OLED is a foldable OLED display that we can take anywhere.
The ASUS Zenbook DUO (2024) has two 14-inch OLED displays with 3K resolution.
ASUS has launched a whole arsenal of products at the CES in Las Vegas that is taking place these days and, as it could not be otherwise, foldable devices have made an appearance. And the company has launched not one, but two products: an external monitor, codenamed MQ17QH, christened as ASUS ZenScreen Fold OLEDand a laptop, dubbed as ASUS Zenbook DUO (UX8406)which has two OLED displays connected by a hinge.
At the moment, the Taiwanese company has not confirmed the price or availability of any of the products. So, we will be waiting to update this text with prices and information regarding our country. Having said that, and having made the introductions, let’s get to know these two devices better.
ASUS ZenScreen Fold OLED, the first foldable OLED monitor
The ASUS ZenScreen Fold OLED is an external monitor. When fully opened, the device offers us a 17.3-inch diagonal screen with a 2560 x 1920 resolutiona more square format that is usually valued and useful for office tasks.
It is an OLED panel, as it could not be otherwise and, according to ASUS, it covers 100% of the DCI-P3 color space and has the VESA Display HDR True Black 500 certification.
As a foldable device, the monitor can be place in different ways. For example, in landscape mode, it’s like a regular monitor that can be quickly deployed in teleworking situations or while waiting for a flight. The monitor is 9.7 inches thick when fully open and weighs just 1.17 kilos, so there shouldn’t be any problems carrying it in a backpack.
ASUS has opted for a water drop hinge. According to the company itself, “designed with hundreds of parts, this detailed mechanism is able to bring the two sides of the screen closer together, almost completely eliminating the gap that can make foldable devices bulkier than desired.” In addition, ASUS assures that “any wrinkles” are minimized and that “you will barely be able to tell that there is a hinge behind the screen.” We will have to try it to get out of doubt.
