AI-generated summary
If you’re paying £749 ex‑VAT for an ASUS 27" QHD monitor, you need a pretty specific reason to believe it’s worth it. In day-to-day office use—spreadsheets, emails, admin apps—there are cheaper 27" QHD options that get you the same “sharp enough” productivity without the premium bill. Where this price starts to make sense is if you’re regularly working in a desktop-heavy workflow (design, detailed document work, data analysis with lots of UI) and you actually benefit from a more polished panel/processing and better out-of-the-box tuning. For anyone who wants one monitor that looks good and behaves consistently across long work sessions, it’s the kind of spend that can reduce hassle over time.
That said, I’d only buy it if the deals line up with your use case. If you mainly do basic office tasks, or you expect to run it for gaming/high-refresh scenarios, you’ll likely find better value elsewhere—either at the same size with more “performance per pound,” or at a similar price with features that matter more to your workload. Bottom line: good choice for a workstation-style buyer who cares about overall image quality and day-in/day-out reliability, not a smart default for cost-conscious fleets. If you tell me what your users actually do (office vs design vs CAD vs dev vs light gaming) I can sanity-check whether this is the right spend or a “nice to have” that’s overpriced for your needs.
