Ultra-Portable Design and Setup
With the ZenScreen OLED 14, Asus presents one of its most portable mobile monitors to date, as the 8 millimeter thick screen weighing just under 500 grams should fit easily into many laptop bags and can be set up in a few simple steps thanks to a fold-out stand. This makes it a good traveling companion for professionals or students who need a secondary display without much hassle, the thin profile is really quiet remarkable for an OLED panel, you can simply slip it into your bag without worrying about bulk.
Connectivity and Power Features
The screen has two USB-C ports. If a power supply unit is plugged into one of these ports, a laptop connected to the second USB-C port can be charged with up to 85 watts. Alternatively, the monitor can also be supplied with power from the laptop, but Asus does not have an integrated battery. The monitor is compatible with both Windows and macOS, and settings such as brightness can be conveniently adjusted via the Asus DisplayWidget Center app. It also supports daisy chaining for multiple displays, though this will depend on your laptops capabilities.
OLED Panel Specifications
The heart of the latest ZenScreen model is the 14-inch OLED panel, which is designed in 16:10 format. This panel achieves a resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels and can display 90 percent of the DCI-P3 color space. As is typical for OLEDs, perfect blacks and fast response times should be possible, although Asus does not provide any information on the frame rate and brightness – in order to reduce power consumption, mobile monitors usually compromise in these two areas in particular. The colors look vibrant though, making it ideal for photo editing or watching movies on the go.
Pricing and Availability Status
Asus has not yet confirmed when or at what price the ZenScreen OLED 14 (MQ14FCKV) will be available on the market. For reference: The larger ZenScreen MQ16FC is already available for $279. This gives potential buyers a rough price range but nothing official yet, so youll have to wait for an announcment before purchasing. It is recomended to check the Asus website periodically for updates on release dates.
