In typical Asus fashion, the display is another strong area for the ZenPad S 8.0. It features the same 2048×1536 resolution of the iPad Mini 4 (and all of the other recent iPads) which is unusual for an Android tablet but increasing in popularity. This resolution works out at 320 PPI across the 8-inch display, which is terrifically sharp for a tablet.
As it is an IPS panel, viewing angles are very good and I noticed no discernible colour shift at all. Asus have also included ‘VisualMaster' technology within the display, meaning contrast and brightness adapt to both the surroundings and what is being displayed. Essentially what we have is a tablet with lovely contrast and colour reproduction, meaning viewing photos and video is particularly satisfying.
The brightness is also very strong, with indoor usage proving fantastic, while outdoor usage is also very good. No tablet is going to be as good in direct sunlight as it is indoors, but the ZenPad S 8.0 still delivers readable text outdoors and on the move.
On the whole, this display is hugely impressive with its sharp resolution, lovely colours and bright display. Asus have impressed me previously with their displays on other devices, and they continue to do so here with the ZenPad S 8.0.
