The ASUS ZenScreen Smart monitor was unveiled by the brand at Computex 2024 as its first model with Google TV that straddles the line between productivity and entertainment for consumers to enjoy.
The 27-inch display features a 4K resolution along with ultra-thin bezels and a compact stand alongside 5W Harman Kardon speakers, a headphone port and even a rear storage section. This can be used for tucking away a keyboard, mouse and even the accompanying Google TV remote to keep desktop peripherals out of the way when streaming content.
The ASUS ZenScreen Smart monitor comes as part of a growing number of hybrid displays that are engineered with the computing needs of professionals, while also incorporating entertainment features. The brand has yet to announce when it plans to start shipping the monitor.
