ASUS BE249QFK 23.8" Negro 2025

The ASUS BE249QFK is a 24-inch 1080p monitor with a built-in webcam, mic, and speakers, so it's perfect for video calls without extra gear. The 100Hz refresh rate and ergonomic stand are the highlights, but the 250-nit brightness and bottom-quarter display quality hold it back. If you need an all-in-one conferencing setup, it's worth a look, especially at the lower end of the USD 173 to USD 218 price range.

The 100Hz refresh rate is the standout here. Most office monitors are stuck at 60Hz, so scrolling and window dragging feel noticeably smoother. The 5ms response time is fine for productivity and casual games, but fast-paced shooters will show some ghosting. The 250-nit brightness is adequate for indoor use, though it'll struggle near a sunny window. Color coverage at 99% sRGB is solid for documents and video calls, but the 8-bit panel and HDR10 support are more checkbox features than real HDR performance. In our database, the display quality lands in the bottom quarter, which tells you this panel prioritizes function over wow factor.

The BE249QFK doesn't compete with the MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED E2 or Alienware AW2725D. Those are high-refresh gaming panels with OLED contrast and color that blow this ASUS out of the water. The LG UltraGear 27G810A-B and Samsung Odyssey G7 G75F are also in a different league for gaming performance. But none of those have a built-in webcam, mic, or speakers. If you need an all-in-one conferencing setup, the ASUS is the only one in this group that does it out of the box. The Dell S2725QC is the closest competitor in spirit, offering a 4K panel and USB-C connectivity, but it lacks the integrated webcam and costs more. So the ASUS wins on convenience, not raw display quality.

Pricing is all over the place depending on where you shop. In the US, listings range from USD 173 to USD 218, and that USD 45 spread means you should shop around before clicking buy. The best deal we're seeing is on the lower end of that range, so don't pay full price if you can avoid it. In Canada, prices swing from CAD 245 to CAD 283, another CAD 38 gap worth watching. For a monitor with a built-in webcam, mic, and speakers, the lower end of these ranges feels fair. At the top end, you're paying a premium for convenience that a cheap external webcam could match.

The ASUS BE249QFK is a 24-inch 1080p monitor built for one thing: video calls. It packs a Full HD webcam, mic array, and speakers right into the frame, so you don't need to bolt on extra gear. The IPS panel looks decent and the 100Hz refresh rate is a nice bonus for a work display.

But it's not a gaming monitor or a color-critical tool. The 250-nit brightness is fine for a normal office, and the 5ms response time won't blow anyone away. What it does well is simplify your desk setup and make you look presentable on Zoom without a pile of accessories.

Skip this if you need a bright, color-accurate display for photo or video work. The 250-nit brightness and bottom-quarter display quality won't cut it. Gamers chasing high refresh rates and fast response times should look at the MSI MAG 271QPX or Alienware AW2725D instead. And if you already have a decent webcam and speakers, you're paying extra for features you don't need.

Buy this if you spend your days on video calls and want a clean desk without a separate webcam, mic, and speakers. The ergonomics are excellent, the 100Hz refresh rate is a nice touch, and the eye care features make long workdays easier. It's not for gamers or anyone who needs accurate color or high brightness. For the right person, it's a practical, no-fuss workhorse.
