ASUS ZenScreen is the slickest USB monitor I’ve ever seen

So what’s the deal with that pen poking through the hole here, you ask? Well, first of all, the ZenScreen does come with that pen. Secondly, it is intended for propping up the monitor in either orientation, should you wish to ditch the bundled foldable smart case to take full advantage of the device’s 8mm thickness and 780g weight. It also looks nicer that way. But make no mistake: the ZenScreen doesn’t support stylus input nor does it have a touchscreen, so don’t go drawing on the glass with that pen.

Other goodies include automatic screen rotation, four levels of blue light filter, TÜV Rheinland-certified flicker-free technology and eight video preset modes. You’ll also find a USB-C to USB-C cable plus a USB-C to USB-A adapter in the box. The ZenScreen is priced at US$249 which is significantly more than its conventional counterparts, but at least road warriors will be able to grab one soon — it’s about to hit the stores in Taiwan, with other markets to follow afterwards.

Once you do that, a 3D model of the Dunks will pop up and you’ll have the chance to buy a pair for yourself. There are also posters, like the one above, outside of Momofuku restaurants in NYC which can trigger the app’s AR feature — in case you’re looking for a more adventurous experience. This seems to be yet another effort by Nike to combat bots, a powerful tool for resellers that’s become a major problem in sneaker culture . Last month, the company introduce Stash, a way for people to unlock exclusive products in the SNRKS app based on their location. The SNKRS AR functionality only works for iOS users at the moment, though Nike says Android support is coming soon.
