*The characteristics of an OLED display can eventually change over long periods of use, leading to visible changes. This is completely normal, and can cause behavior such as image burn-in or persistence: this means that a faint ghost of an image remains visible even when it’s replaced by a new image. These effects are more likely to occur if a non-moving (static) high-contrast image is displayed for an excessively long time. ASUS laptops with an OLED display minimize this risk by setting Windows Dark mode as default, as well as shortening the idle time before the screen is turned off — both on mains (AC) and battery (DC) power. This dual approach minimizes the potential for burn-in to maximize the lifespan of your OLED display lifespan, and also reduces unnecessary power draw for optimal battery life. We also recommended adjusting the brightness of your OLED display to complement the ambient lighting in your environment, rather than keeping the screen at maximum brightness at all times. You should also ensure that you have an animated, dark-background screensaver enabled in the Windows Settings tool.

*The devices referred to on this web page are the most highly-specified models available. Please check the product specifications to ensure that the correct type of display is configured before purchasing in-store or online.

*1. Processor and graphics card model varies according to device configuration while NVIDIA® Studio Driver and MUX Switch are only available for GeForce RTX™ 40 series laptops.

*2. By default, all models are set to a 60 Hz refresh rate. Users can increase this to the display’s maximum refresh rate manually via the display settings. For more information, please read the guidelines: https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1013049/#Win11_A3.

*3. Average test results: Delta-E < 1.5, +/- 0.5. Over time, the Delta-E value of the display may change. It is recommended to recalibrate the color to ensure color accuracy.

*4. The figures are based on theoretical performance. Actual performance may vary in BIOS settings and real-world situations.

*5. Maximum SSD capacity may vary according to device configuration.

*6. Maximum RAM capacity may vary according to device configuration.

*7. WiFi 6E availability may vary by country and their specific regulations. Feature only supported by Windows 11 or later.

*8. Charges the battery to up to 50% within 30 minutes when the system is off or in Standby mode. Power adapter with a minimum capacity of 120 watts is required. After charging has reached 50% capacity, charging will resume at normal rate. Charging time may vary +/-10% due to system tolerance.

*9. Backlit keyboard and integrated fingerprint sensor are optional.

*10. Clinical testing using ISO 22196 standard protocol proved that bacterial growth were inhibited by 99% over a 24-hour period. A 99% reduction in potentially harmful microorganisms is defined as the number of bacteria on the surface dropping from 1,000,000 cfu/ml to 100 cfu/ml.

*11. The testing regime includes the requirements of both military-grade standards and ASUS quality tests, and varies depending on device. MIL-STD-810H testing is conducted on selected ASUS products only. Note that the MIL-STD-810H testing helps to ensure the quality of ASUS products but does not indicate a particular fitness for military use. Similarly, the test results should not be considered an indication or guarantee of future performance under the specified test conditions. Damage occurring under these test conditions or any attempt to replicate them would be considered accidental, and would not be covered by the standard ASUS warranty. Additional coverage is available with ASUS Premium Care.

*12. The screen-to-body ratio is calculated based on the visible body area of the display when the laptop is opened to 90° and the active display area.

*13. Compared to an average LCD laptop panel. Average LCD display has a 10 ms response time.

*14. Compared to average LCD displays in the market, measuring energy emission of blue light in between 415-455 nm wavelength.

*15. ASUS Antimicrobial Guard is applied to the laptop areas that users touch most frequently, including keyboard, the palm rest area, the power button/fingerprint sensor and touchpad. A sticker on the laptop will help to identify the device is covered by Antimicrobial Guard due to different spec configuration.

*16. Battery durability will vary depending on usage.

*17. .I/O ports may vary according to device configuration.

*18. Selected products are tested using enhanced military-grade MIL-STD-810H durability standards, with 12 test methods and 26 test procedures, to ensure extraordinary toughness. Based on ASUS internal market research using available information and testing reports from main laptop brand websites on Oct 28, 2022, ASUS consumer laptops use a regime consisting of 26 test procedures, which is the consumer laptop industry’s strictest and most extensive test regime for the MIL-STD-810H standard.

*19. EPEAT registered where applicable. EPEAT registration varies by country. See www.epeat.net for registration status by country.

*20. Percentage varies according to device configuration.
