ASUS OLED Display
100% DCI-P3 best-in-class colour gamut. Vivid displays for precise creativity, colour work and vibrant visual entertainment. 70% less harmful blue light: with lower harmful blue-light levels, OLED offers better eye care and sleep quality. Clearer images at any brightness. Rich colours even at low brightness — always stunning.
DisplayHDR™ 600 True Black
The deep blacks allow you to see previously unseen details in dark movie scenes.
0.2 ms fastest response time on any laptop
Blur-free action scenes in movies and games, with smooth text scrolling.
Ultimate professional-grade colours
ASUS OLED laptops deliver exceptionally detailed and realistic visuals, with a cinema-grade 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut. This means that the colours reproduced on the display are richer and more vivid: it’s ideal for colour-intensive projects, but also enhances any kind of content.
ASUS OLED laptops maintain a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut at both high and low brightness levels, while on a standard LCD laptop the colour gamut is reduced dramatically at low brightness levels. At a gray-level brightness of 16 G, LCD laptops only have an 11% DCI-P3 colour gamut, while ASUS OLED laptops maintain a 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut.
Eye Care - 70% blue-light reduction for eye care
Blue light is known to cause visual discomfort and disrupt sleep quality. However, due to the nature of the special organic lighting materials in an OLED display, ASUS OLED laptops emit 70% less harmful blue light1, and they’re also certified by TÜV Rheinland and SGS. More importantly, unlike traditional blue-light filters, shifting the spectrum means there’s no need to compromise colour accuracy.
Eye Care - Eye care, even more critical for children
Since children’s eyes are not fully developed, with a more transparent lens and cornea, harmful blue light can penetrate the eye more easily, potentially causing premature ageing of the retina.
Lower blue light, better eye care
Research has shown that in a five-year-old child’s eyes, approximately 60% of the received blue-light emissions pass through to the retina, compared to only around 20% for a 60-year-old adult. With ASUS OLED displays, the significantly lower blue light levels mean better eye care for children.
Perceptual Brightness - OLED has 1.6x colour volume compared to LCD
On conventional LCD displays, detail and colour quality usually decrease dramatically as the brightness is reduced. But ASUS OLED laptops are able to show great detail at lower brightness settings due to their high contrast and their ability to maintain a wide colour gamut at low brightness. When calculating the 3D colour volume — which adds illumination to the traditional 2D colour gamut — ASUS OLED displays have about a 60% higher colour volume, offering better colour performance at any brightness level.
OLED has much higher perceptual brightness
ASUS OLED laptops can maintain good colour reproduction at any brightness level, so you can freely adjust the screen’s brightness to suit your working environment, while still enjoying exceptionally vivid colours. For example, in the living room environment (usually illuminated at about 100 lux), you only need 177 nits brightness in an OLED display to produce the same clear image as 400 nits brightness in an LCD display. At the lower brightness levels needed on OLED displays, there’s less harmful blue light emitted.
Contrast - True black: See the unseen
ASUS OLED laptops reproduce blacks perfectly. An OLED pixel consists of three sub-pixels, each with its own self-generated illumination: For example, a 2.8K (2880 x 1800) display has 5,184,000 pixels, which means it has 15,552,000 self-illuminated sub-pixels, compared to just a few dozen LED backlights in a Full HD LCD display. When displaying black on an OLED display, the pixel is simply turned off to produce the darkest possible black. This enables extremely crisp and clear images even in the darkest scenes. You’ll be surprised to see how many new details you’ll spot in your favourite movies!
Response Time - Fastest response time on any laptop for smooth actions
ASUS OLED displays have a 0.2 ms response time — the fastest of any laptop, and 50x faster3 than the average laptop LCD display. In fact, most of LCD laptop displays have a response time between 10 and 25 ms. This ensures smoother fast-paced action scenes, low-latency gameplay, and subtle details like blur-free text scrolling.
Coors - Express the true you
VivoBook 15 OLED with a metal lid is about pushing boundaries and breaking new ground, and its bold look makes a statement. Choose between uncompromising Indie Black, futuristic Transparent Silver, and if you’re really daring, go for the adventurous Hearty Gold.

ASUS Intelligent Performance Technology (AIPT)
Each model in the new VivoBook series provides exceptional heat dissipation via an upgraded 8 mm heat pipe and a new IceBlades fan that efficiently accelerates heat transfer. The 87-blade IceBlades fan and impeller are made of a liquid-crystal polymer that allows them to be lighter and thinner than ordinary fans. Each IceBlades fan blade has a 3D-curved aerodynamic design, allowing the fan to achieve better flow rate and lower noise. In addition, the IceBlades fans also use a fluid-dynamics bearing, which can achieve better vibration reduction and lower noise when compared to ordinary fans.
