No. This is not an Anime Matrix Model. The Anime Matrix Model according to articles that I've read so far is stuck with a 60hz refresh rate (double-check it), and a little heavier/ thicker than this model. As far as I know, the anime matrix model is not available yet in the market as of this month May 2020.

ASUS - ROG Zephyrus G14 14" AniMe Matrix Gaming Laptop - Ryzen 9 - 16GB - RTX 2060 Max-Q - R9 4900HS - 1TB SSD - Moonlight White AniMe Matrix.
A: NO, this version doesn't haves the AniMe Matrix.
Models Supported: ROG Zephyrus G14 (GA401 and GA402 series with AniMe Matrix™ Display supported.) ※ Note: Not all GA401 and GA402 series products come with AniMe Matrix™ Display supported. You can check the label on the giftbox.
Asus put the optional Anime Matrix display on the lid on the G14, but not on the G15, as well as added a reflective prismatic nanofilm layer under the array of dots on both, which shines in different colors based on the angle you're looking at it.
The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 AniMe Matrix is a fun spin on an excellent gaming notebook, adding a customizable, dynamic LED grid to the laptop's lid. You've never seen anything like it, though the added cost dampens some of the “best value” mojo of the original G14.
ROG Zephyrus G14 GA401QM-RTX30601 with AniMe Matrix™ Featuring up to an 8-core AMD Ryzen™ 9 5900HS CPU and GeForce RTX™ 3060 GPU, this slim and stylish powerhouse rips through the most demanding apps and games.
The Zephyrus M16 features the AniMe Matrix LED and more. And all this without taking out the webcam. So yes, there's a small webcam at the top of the display, so you will still be able to do your virtual calls and video recordings.
Summary: With all the other competent 14-inch performance laptops available these days, the ROG Zephyrus G14 stands somewhere in the middle of the pack, as the potentially best-balanced laptop in its class, and I feel that applies to both the 3050Ti and the 3060 configurations.
This “AniMe Matrix” display consists of 1,215 Mini-LEDs that support 256 levels of brightness each and can be used to show anything from the time to music visualizers, GIFs, or an animated logo from your favorite technology website (see above).
This high-end G14 is really in the Blade 15 Advanced's price category, and that's a tougher class than it's occupied in the past. The G14 has a nearly flawless chassis and a powerful CPU that may be worth $1,599, but you shouldn't spend $2,500. To earn that price tag, it needs to bring better performance.
Due to the limitations of the matrix display, images and animations work best if they contain simple shapes with very high contrast.
You might have noticed in some of the images above that there was a fancy border around the drawings and a “THIS WAY UP” arrow. Those images were created using my template. You can download the template here.
According to ASUS, the AniMe Matrix consists of 1,215 LEDs. In practice, I can only find 1,214 LEDs.
You might notice that when you import designs made using my templates into the Armoury Crate software, the design doesn’t quite seem to go to the edges. Did I make the template too small, robbing you of some precious design real-estate?
Hopefully this blog post has been informative and inspires you to create your own content for the matrix display.
As bad as Armoury Crate is, one of the features it has that no other program does is the ability to control the AniMe Matrix. If ROG Manager is to fully replace Armoury Crate for people with versions of the laptop that have the matrix, this feature will be important. The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
There is actually an open source implementation to control different vendors' RGB: https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB. Although, I'm not sure if AniMe Matrix uses the same interface as AURA.
I have a model with the matrix. I don't have the spare time to invest in development but I'd be willing to test.
Although, would you be interested in trying out setting the keyboard brightness? One use case would be turning the keyboard back light on when it's sunset, and turning it off when it's sunrise.
That's not a feature I'd be interested in. Setting brightness based on a schedule is very unreliable. You really need an ambient light sensor to make dynamic brightness useful. Without one it becomes an annoyance for the user, in my experience.
Question: If you disable the "Armoury Crate Control Interface" in Device Manager under System Devices, are you able to still interface with AniMe Matrix?
Anime Matrix current settings still work when disabling "Armoury crate control interface". It will stop working when I stop the armory crate service. It seems there's a persistent lightingservice.exe that's running to maintain the anime matrix which is under the aura service.
