Surface Pro 4 tablet has an excellent screen -- 12.3", 2736 x 1834 pixels (~267 pixels per inch), 100% sRGB, and 430 nits brightness. Aspect ratio is 3:2 (2736 / 1834 = 3 / 2 = 1.5 / 1). Great for productivity but you'll see slightly larger black borders when viewing 16:9 movies.
ASUS ROG Flow Z13 has an excellent screen, too, about 1" larger (diag) but it's lower resolution -- 13.4", 1920 x 1200 pixels (~168 pixels per inch), 100% sRGB, and 500 nits brightness per the SD listing. Aspect ratio is 16:10 (1920 / 1200 = 1.6 / 1). Better for productivity than 16:9, but not quite as good as 3:2 (which is roughly 16:10.7, so less scrolling). You'll see a smaller black border when watching 16:9 movies.

TY. I've skimmed through reviews on Amazon, this one is probably not a good fit for me.

TY, great comparison.
I'm almost leaning towards getting another surface ...except for I'm really over the Surface factor - I think regular style laptop would suit me better. I have been really happy with the surface over the years performance and screen wise but the battery life is greatly diminished and (for the last few years) it completely dies when the machine is turned off, even though I've turned off connected standby and all other gimmicks.

Would you care to say anything about this screen?

It's clear you're primarily focused on the laptop screen. I suggest you read the Q&As at the Best Buy link, search for and read online reviews about this laptop, and then if you're still interested go to a Best Buy and check out the laptop in person if the display is that important. Your eyes will tell you if the screen is acceptable from your perspective and for your purposes better than any spec or comment.
A couple of other items:
This laptop is 3.48lbs -- is ~2x heavier than your Surface Pro 4 a concern?
Finally, this laptop comes with a 90 watt USB-C power adapter. When you see a power supply higher than 65 watts, you should check it out (where possible) and see how big / bulky it is. There are plenty of smallish 65 watt USB-C chargers (for laptops that support USB-C charging) but beyond that the selection dwindles.
Good luck with your search.

Grammar, additional comment.
