ASUS BE24EQK 24"

The BE24EQK bundle gives you two 24-inch 1080p IPS monitors with built-in webcams, mics, and speakers for $469 USD. But the performance sits at the 21st percentile with a 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time. It's a video conferencing convenience play, not a quality display purchase.

Let's be blunt: the performance numbers here are rough. 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time put this at the 21st percentile in our database. That's fine for email and video calls, but anyone expecting smooth motion in games or even fast scrolling is going to notice the limitations. The 300 nits brightness is serviceable for an office, but it's not going to fight off a sunny window.

The IPS panel does bring 178-degree viewing angles, which is the one bright spot. Colors stay consistent when you're showing something to a coworker sitting off to the side. But the 8-bit, 16.7 million color spec lands at the 44th percentile for color, which is middle of the pack at best. This is a monitor that does the basics without any flair.

Stacked against the competition, the BE24EQK doesn't put up much of a fight. The LG UltraGear 27GX790A-B and the MSI MPG 271QR QD-OLED X50 are in a completely different league for gaming and color performance, though they cost more and don't come in a dual bundle. The Samsung Odyssey OLED G6 G60SF and Alienware AW2725D similarly blow past this ASUS on refresh rate and color accuracy. The Dell UltraSharp U4025QW is the closest in spirit, a productivity-focused panel, but it's a 40-inch ultrawide with far better color coverage. The BE24EQK's only real edge is the integrated webcam and the two-for-one bundle price. If you need a turnkey video conferencing setup, this works. If you care about the actual image quality, look elsewhere.

At $469 USD for two monitors, a dual mount, and integrated webcams, the price per panel works out to about $235. That's not outrageous for a business monitor with a webcam built in. But the value proposition gets shaky when you consider what you're giving up. The display performance is at the 21st percentile, and the color is at the 44th. You're paying for the convenience of the bundle, not the quality of the screens. If you already have a webcam or don't need the dual mount, you can find better panels for less money.

The ASUS BE24EQK bundle is a two-pack of 24-inch 1080p IPS monitors with built-in webcams, mics, and speakers, plus a dual desk mount, for $469 USD. That's about $235 per panel, which sounds reasonable until you look at the scores. Office use lands at 37.9 out of 100, professional at 35.9, and creative at 34.3. Those aren't numbers that get anyone excited.

The display itself sits at the 39th percentile in our database, and performance is down at the 21st percentile. This is a 60Hz, 5ms panel with 300 nits of brightness and 8-bit color. It's built for video calls and spreadsheets, not gaming or color work. The webcam and mic array are the real selling points here, and they're genuinely useful for a conference room or a home office setup where you don't want extra peripherals cluttering the desk.

Skip this if you care about display quality at all. The 21st percentile performance score means anyone doing photo editing, video work, or gaming will be frustrated by the 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time. The 300 nits brightness is also a weak spot for bright rooms. And with only HDMI and DisplayPort, connectivity sits at the 45th percentile, which is limiting if you need USB-C or multiple input options. If you already own a webcam or don't need the dual mount, you're paying extra for features you won't use while getting a below-average panel.

The ASUS BE24EQK bundle is a niche product that makes sense for exactly one type of buyer: someone setting up a video conferencing station who wants everything in one box. The built-in webcams and mics are genuinely convenient, and the dual mount is a nice touch. But the display performance at the 21st percentile and the overall display quality at the 39th percentile are hard to ignore. At $469 USD, you're paying a premium for convenience while accepting a below-average screen. If your work involves anything beyond documents and video calls, you'll feel the limitations quickly.
