Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £206 ex-VAT, the ASUS BE249CGN is a pretty sensible buy if you want a dependable 24-inch business-friendly monitor that also won’t make you hate gaming/quick motion work. The IPS panel and 120Hz support are the real reasons to consider it: in day-to-day office use it looks decent and wide-view, and for lighter gaming or scrolling-heavy work it feels smoother than the standard 60Hz pack. Plus, the port selection (including USB‑C) is the kind of thing that saves faffing with dongles, especially if you’ve got modern laptops that can carry video + charging over one cable.

That said, it’s not a “great deal” for everyone. Don’t buy this if you’re specifically chasing crisp text sharpness (it’s only Full HD at 24"), or if you expect HDR to be meaningfully transformative—HDR10 on entry-level monitors is usually more marketing than magic. Also, if you do lots of colour-critical work, you’ll want to budget for calibration tools and double-check colour performance rather than assume IPS + HDR means pro-grade. Overall: good value for general office + some entertainment, especially in a mixed-device setup. For pure high-end office clarity or serious creative work, I’d look at higher-resolution options instead.
