AI-generated summary
The ASUS ZenScreen MB249C is one of those “nice idea, niche reality” monitors. At £335 ex-VAT for a 23.8" Full HD panel, you’re paying a premium for the ZenScreen positioning—mainly portability and a business-friendly second-screen setup. In practice, it’s a good buy if you genuinely need a mobile/space-saving monitor (client work, hot-desking, quick desk upgrades, or moving it between home/office). If you’re mostly staying fixed in one place, there are cheaper options that give you the same day-to-day experience without the “special” tax.
I’d be cautious if your main goal is sharpness and desk productivity for long hours. Full HD at this size is fine, but it’s not the most value-dense choice in 2026—especially at this price point. And as a reseller, I’d steer buyers toward it only when the workflow truly benefits from the ZenScreen form factor; otherwise, you’ll feel like you paid for convenience you don’t fully use. If you tell me how they’ll use it (laptop docking? travel? number of hours/day?), I can say whether this is a smart fit or an easy “spend that money elsewhere” situation.
