Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Honestly, at **£2,150 ex-VAT**, this ASUS ZenScreen Fold OLED is only going to make sense for a pretty narrow set of users. The “fold” concept is the whole point: you’re effectively getting an OLED screen that travels and sets up in a way a normal 17" monitor just can’t match. If you’re a consultant, designer, or field-based engineer who genuinely needs a high-quality display that packs down small (and you’re working in places where a full monitor is a pain), OLED’s contrast and color make it feel premium in day-to-day work. For people whose job is visual accuracy and who care about readability/quality, it’s a nice tool—provided you actually benefit from the portability.

Where it’s a hard sell is for everyone else. If this is for a standard office desk setup, you’re paying a massive “form factor” premium and you’d usually get better value by buying a conventional OLED or even a high-end LCD monitor that’s easier to live with long-term (dock positioning, cables, desk space, and just fewer “special device” quirks). Also, at this price, it becomes very sensitive to total cost of ownership—any reliability issues, warranty expectations, or downtime costs are magnified. Buy it only if you *need* foldable portability as a core workflow requirement; otherwise, it’s likely to feel like overpaying for a feature you won’t fully use.
