ASUS BE24EQSK 23.8" Black

The ASUS BE24EQSK is a 1080p IPS monitor with a built-in webcam, mic, and speakers, built for video calls. Ergonomics are top-notch, but color and speed are just average. Worth it if you want an all-in-one conferencing setup and can find it at the lower end of the price range.

The 1080p IPS panel delivers 300 nits of brightness and a 5ms response time. That's solid for office work and video calls, though the 75Hz refresh rate is a small step up from the usual 60Hz. Color performance sits at 72% NTSC, which lands it in the middle of the pack for this category. The built-in webcam is the real differentiator here, and it's a 2MP Full HD unit with an AI noise-canceling mic. For a monitor at this price, that's a practical combo. Just don't expect it to impress anyone editing photos.

Stacked against the MSI MAG 271QPX QD-OLED or the LG UltraGear 27G810A-B, the BE24EQSK looks like a different species entirely. Those are high-refresh gaming displays with far better color and speed. The ASUS isn't trying to compete there. It's closer in spirit to something like the BenQ MA270U, but even that has a higher resolution and better panel. What the BE24EQSK has that none of those do is the built-in webcam and mic. If you don't need that, there are better displays for the money. If you do, it's a niche pick that saves you from buying a separate webcam.

Pricing is a bit scattered. In the US it's listed at $180, while Canadian retailers range from CAD 241 to CAD 355. That's a CAD 114 spread, which is wild for the same monitor. If you're in Canada, shop around, one listing is noticeably cheaper than the other. At the low end, this is a reasonable deal for an all-in-one conferencing setup. At the high end, you're paying too much for a 1080p panel with modest color performance.

The ASUS BE24EQSK is a 23.8-inch 1080p IPS monitor built for one specific job: video calls. It packs a 2MP webcam, mic array, and speakers right into the frame, so you don't need to bolt on extra gear. The panel itself is fine, nothing fancy, but the ergonomics are genuinely good for a budget office display.

At 75Hz with FreeSync, it's not a gaming monitor, and the color coverage is modest at 72% NTSC. But if your day is Zoom, Teams, and spreadsheets, this thing covers the basics without eating your desk or your wallet.

Skip this if you need accurate color for photo or video work, the 72% NTSC coverage will frustrate you. Gamers should also look elsewhere, 75Hz and 5ms won't cut it for fast-paced titles. And if you already own a decent webcam and speakers, you're paying for features you don't need. A standard 1080p IPS monitor with better color can be had for less.

This is a monitor for people who live on video calls and want a clean, simple setup. The integrated webcam, mic, and speakers are the whole point, and they work well enough for daily meetings. The ergonomics are excellent, and the eye care features are a nice bonus for long days. Just know you're trading display quality for convenience. If your work involves color accuracy or high refresh rates, this isn't your monitor.
