ASUS to Use OLED Screens on All New Models
In a move meant to differentiate them in crowded PC market ASUS, the # 5 supplier of notebooks will only use OLED panels due to their deeper blacks’ levels, vastly better contrast, and more responsiveness. ASUS said that even as LCDs have evolved to be brighter and faster, OLED offers a more pronounced visual "pop."
ASUS is trying to make its name synonymous with OLED, so much so that it's bringing it to new mid-range notebooks like the VivoBook Pro 14X and 16X. It's also touting the first 16-inch 4K OLED HDR screens on notebooks across several models: the ProArt Studiobook Pro, ProArt Studiobook and the Vivobook Pro. The fastest hardware will be in the StudioBook Pro 16 OLED (starting at $2,500). It'll be powered by H-series Ryzen 5000 processors, 3rd-gen Intel Xeon chips and NVIDIA's professional-grade RTX A2000 and A5000 GPUs. Next is the Studiobook 16 OLED ($2,000), which has the same Ryzen chips, Intel Core i7 CPUs and either RTX 3070 or 3060 graphics. Both notebooks will be equipped with 4K OLED HDR screens that with 550 nits and cover 100 percent of DCI-P3 color gamut. They'll also sport ASUS Dial, a new rotary accessory located at the top of their trackpads, offering similar functionality to Microsoft's forgotten Surface Dial.
Stepping down a notch is the latest ZenBook Pro Duo 15 OLED, the company's 15-inch dual-screen notebook, which can be equipped with up to RTX 3070 graphics and a core i9 CPU. ASUS has proven it can make dual-display notebooks genuinely useful, as in the Zenbook Pro Duo. The single-screen ZenBook Pro 15 OLED ($1,470), meanwhile, tops out with RTX 3050 Ti graphics and Ryzen 5000 processors. he Vivobook Pro 14X and 16X OLED ($1,400) are entirely new territory for ASUS, sitting above the mainstream Vivobook line, but below the more premium Zenbook. The 16X will come with up to a 4K 16-inch OLED screen, while the 14X has a 2.8K OLED 90Hz option. You'll be able to choose from Intel Core i7 or Ryzen 5000 H-series chips and up to RTX 3050 Ti graphics. And, not to be forgotten, the Vivobook Pro 14 and 15 OLED offer similar power in cases that weigh 3.09 pounds and 3.64 pounds, respectively. ASUS is not yet convinced it can find a market for the foldable $900 13” OLED built by Samsung and used in their foldable notebook.
