A dash means the manufacturer does not publish that figure or we could not verify it. We never fill gaps with estimates.

Size, resolution, panel, refresh rate and response time are each checked against the manufacturer's listing on Amazon.es. Anything we could not confirm shows as “—”: we would rather leave a gap than invent a figure.

The review

On an OLED every pixel switches off completely, so black is the absence of light rather than dark grey. The practical consequence goes beyond night scenes: infinite contrast makes colours look more saturated and makes HDR actually work, because there is no backlight to manage.

The 0.03 ms response wipes out transition trails entirely, something no LCD achieves however fast it is. The counterpart is wear: OLEDs can retain static images displayed for hundreds of hours. ASUS includes maintenance routines and a three-year warranty covering that risk, but it is worth hiding fixed taskbars.

In its favour

  • Absolute black and infinite contrast
  • 0.03 ms, no trailing in motion
  • Genuine True Black HDR
  • Three-year warranty against retention

Against it

  • Risk of retention with static content
  • Lower sustained brightness than a Mini-LED
  • No HDMI 2.1

Best for: Someone's first OLED: heavy players wanting the biggest available jump in image quality.

What the reviews say

The visual impact on first power-up is what reviews repeat most; so is the worry about retention.
