The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED has a better screen than the ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 for general use, gaming and AI, and engineering and design, while the ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 has a better screen for content creation, and software development.
The ASUS Zenbook 14X OLED boasts a high-resolution OLED panel, providing vivid colors and contrasts which is ideal for general use and for professionals in engineering and design who need accurate color representation, however, its standard refresh rate may not be suitable for the fast-paced visuals required for gaming and 3D applications. The ASUS Zenbook Pro 17 offers similar benefits with good screen quality, making it great for day-to-day tasks and for work that involves color accuracy, but like the 14X, its lower refresh rate may not meet the demands of gamers or professionals working with rapid motion graphics. In essence, both laptops are excellent for productivity and visual accuracy, but may not deliver the best experience for high-end gaming or 3D modeling that benefit from faster screen refresh rates.

PCMag
Matthew Buzzi | September 2023
"While one of the more budget-friendly configurations of the Asus Zenbook 14X OLED may make a compelling case as a top value pick, it’s difficult to be disappointed with the more expensive model we reviewed here. At its core, for all models, it’s a luxury-built laptop with extreme portability and a gorgeous OLED display. Our unit rocks with a snappy Core i9 processor for getting real work done, and the discrete GPU—even if it has a clear power ceiling—is a bonus for creative pros."
