Asus ZenBook 14 UX434FL Laptop Review: ScreenPad Is Here To Stay

On paper, the 5.65-inch IPS touchscreen and its 2160 x 1080 native resolution, high contrast ratio, and ~90 percent color coverage sound as good as any popular Android smartphone. In practice, however, the screen will be grainier than anticipated due to the matte overlay. Reducing the resolution will hide some of the graininess, but there’s no doubt that this matte overlay impacts visual quality by a noticeable degree.

Analyzing the ScreenPad with an X-Rite colorimeter reveals a backlight that’s even brighter than the main display which is good because the user will almost always be looking at the ScreenPad from a wider angle than the main display. Colors are not that well calibrated and grayscale is overly cool, but it is possible to calibrate the ScreenPad to address these shortcomings. Colors and grayscale would improve noticeably after calibrating the display ourselves as shown by our screenshots below.

ScreenPad 2.0 is a significant step forward when compared to the original ScreenPad on the old ZenBook Pro 15 UX580 in terms of picture quality and usability. It’s still not quite as crisp as we would like, but the differences are noticeable. An external mouse is still recommended or else precision inputs on the small display will be difficult.

HWiNFO reveals Toshiba to the original manufacturer of the ScreenPad with the panel name ScreenXpert.
