Display
ROG Nebula Display
This panel boasts a 2.5K resolution, giving it incredible pixel density on a 16-inch screen, with a 240Hz refresh rate that makes all of your games look silky smooth. With 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 colour space, and a delta E colour accuracy of less than 1, prepare to be immersed in HDR content so lifelike that the screen melts away.
*Average tested result in MyASUS/ Armoury Crate Splendid Display P3 and sRGB colour gamut: Delta E < 1, +/- 0.5, and may vary by specification. Please note that the actual performance also may vary under different test procedures, equipment and patterns.
G-Sync Technology
Nothing breaks in-game immersion like stuttering and tearing. GPUs render frames at variable rates, but displays usually refresh at a constant clip, so they can get out of sync, causing visible hitching and artifacts that pull you out of the action. With NVIDIA G-SYNC, the refresh rate of the display synchronises with the GPU’s frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimize stuttering, and reduce input lag. Get ready to experience gameplay that looks and feels more natural than ever.
Dolby Vision® Technology
Scene to scene, frame to frame, Dolby Vision makes media look better. The technology improves on standard 4K high dynamic range (HDR) video, dynamically adjusting visuals to make every image in front of you richer, brighter, and livelier. Creators can film and edit their streams, videos, and other content in a format commonly used by industry professionals.
Pantone™ Colour Validation
Each IPS-level display is factory-calibrated to ensure that colours are accurate to the Pantone™ palette. Artists, designers, and content creators can add high-quality content to their portfolios and enjoy richer gaming visuals all on the same machine.

The sleek chassis and matte finish of the Zephyrus G16 simply beg to be touched.
Keys to Mastery
The trackpad and keyboard are critical for controlling your laptop, so we spared no expense with the design of the Zephyrus G16. Despite being just a 16-inch device, the G16 boasts a large 16:10 aspect ratio, matching the proportions of the screen itself effortless scrolling. We’ve also increased the keycap size by 12% for smoother typing as well, thanks to extra rigidity from the CNC machining. An extra long 1.7mm travel distance gives the keyboard a premium typing feel, and with a lifetime of 20 million presses, it’s a perfect long-term partner.

A Slice of Brilliance
In 2024, the G16 breaks the mould, debuting an all new lighting design: the Slash Lighting array. A bold streak across the lid of the machine, Slash Lighting is an evolution of the elegance and individuality that make Zephyrus so unique. It retains the customization of its predecessor, with a design inspired by sci-fi and contemporary art.
Pump Up the Volume
Get lost in the music with the new and improved woofers on the Zephyrus G16. With a staggering 47% volume increase and an ultra-low bass frequency of 100Hz, the G16 produces clear and vibrant sound that you wouldn’t expect from an ultra-slim 16-inch machine. Whether you’re vibing to your favourite podcast or saving the world in the latest games, the Zephyrus G16 is ready to pump up the volume.
Robust Connectivity
Despite its svelte and supremely portable chassis, the G16 offers all of the connectivity to enable your workflow or the battle station of your dreams. Dual USB-C ports, both of which support display output, and one that supports Thunderbolt™ 4 and DisplayPort 2.1 make the very most of this versatile connector. For your other peripherals, dual USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A ports expand connectivity even further. For quick file transfers or extra storage, a dedicated UHS-II MicroSD card reader stands ready.
Dolby Atmos
Richer audio draws you more deeply into gameplay and media. Virtual 5.1.2-channel surround sound powered by Dolby Atmos enhances spatial immersion with more nuanced, layered sound effects that you can optimize with specially tuned preset modes for movies and games.
3D Mic Array
Three modes for the integrated microphone array give you greater control over your input. Cardioid mode captures sound from right in front of the laptop, while minimizing input from the back, making it ideal for streaming and gaming. Stereo mode uses right and left channels to record a wider soundscape for live music or other immersive experiences.
Precision Craftsmanship
Built from aluminium alloy 6063, the chassis of the Zephyrus G16 is painstakingly CNC-machined to minimise excess volume while maintaining rigidity. Using precision tools just 0.7mm in diameter, channels for the keyboard, touchpad and speakers are milled to ultra-tight tolerances for a premium and robust chassis with components that stretch edge to edge. After an eight-step process, the sandblasted, polished and anodized G16 chassis stands ready to support its flagship hardware.
Armoury Crate
When you want to tweak settings, monitor temperatures, or tinker with your laptop, Armoury Crate is your command center. Real-time monitoring allows you to see what your GPU, CPU and memory are doing. RGB can be adjusted on a game-by-game basis with Aura Sync. Fan and power profiles allow you to change the acoustics, power delivery, and thermal characteristics of the laptop on the fly. And exclusive game deals keep your library topped off at all times.
