ASUS VA24DQFS 23.8" Unknown

The ASUS VA24DQFS pairs a 100Hz IPS panel with best-in-class ergonomics, landing in the 91st percentile for adjustability. The display itself ranks in the 21st percentile, so image quality is the trade-off. If you find it near USD 130, it's a bargain for an office setup.

The 100Hz refresh rate is the headline number here, and it's a genuine upgrade over the 60Hz panels most business monitors ship with. Paired with Adaptive-Sync and a 1ms MPRT response time, this thing handles motion far better than its office-focused branding suggests. The 3000:1 contrast ratio is also worth noting, it's higher than the typical 1000:1 you see on budget IPS panels, which helps with depth in darker scenes. The 68th percentile performance ranking puts it above average, though it's not going to scare any dedicated gaming monitors.

Color performance is more middle of the pack. The 99% sRGB coverage and 8-bit panel are fine for documents and spreadsheets, but the 54th percentile color ranking tells you this isn't a monitor for color-critical work. The 300 nits brightness is adequate for a typical office, though HDR10 support at this brightness level is more of a checkbox than a real feature. Don't expect HDR content to look dramatically different.

Stacked against the competition, the VA24DQFS holds its own in specific areas but falls behind in others. The LG UltraGear 27G810A-B and MSI MAG 272QPW QD-OLED X28 are gaming-focused panels with higher refresh rates and better color, but they cost significantly more and lack the business-oriented ergonomics this ASUS brings. The Dell S2725QC offers 4K resolution and USB-C connectivity, which the VA24DQFS can't match, but you'll pay for it. The Acer Nitro XV272U and HP OMEN 27qs both offer higher resolutions and faster panels, but again, the ASUS undercuts them on price at the low end of its range. If you need a no-frills office monitor with a great stand and smooth motion, this one competes. If you want image quality first, look elsewhere.

Pricing on the VA24DQFS is all over the place depending on where you shop. In the US, listings range from USD 130 to USD 298 across six vendors, which is a USD 168 spread. That's a huge gap for the same monitor, and it means you could overpay by more than double if you're not careful. The lower end of that range makes this a compelling budget pick for an office setup, especially given the ergonomic stand and 100Hz panel. At the higher end, you're creeping into territory where better displays exist. Shop around before you commit.

The ASUS VA24DQFS is a 23.8-inch 1080p IPS panel that hits 100Hz with a 1ms MPRT response time. That's a combo you don't see every day in a business monitor, and it lands this thing in the 68th percentile for performance in our database. The ergonomics are the real story though. Height adjust, tilt, swivel, pivot, and VESA mounting put it in the 91st percentile for ergonomics, which is best-in-class territory for a monitor at this price point.

But the display itself is a mixed bag. You get 300 nits of brightness, 99% sRGB coverage, and HDR10 support on paper, yet the display ranking sits at just the 21st percentile. That's a weak spot, and it shows in the customer feedback. A few owners using it as a second monitor next to a MacBook mention the image looks grainy by comparison. For office work, it scores a solid 74.3 out of 100, but the total score drops to 65.9, dragged down by a 23.4 portable score that's basically irrelevant unless you plan on hauling this thing to coffee shops.

Skip this one if image quality is your top priority. The 21st percentile display ranking and reports of grainy text mean it's not the pick for designers, photographers, or anyone who stares at fine detail all day. The 54th percentile color ranking also rules it out for color-critical work. And if you're hoping for a portable second screen, the 23.4 portable score should end that conversation immediately. This is a desk-bound office monitor, not a travel companion.

The VA24DQFS is a solid office monitor with a few surprising tricks. The 100Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time make it feel snappier than most business displays, and the ergonomic stand is genuinely excellent. The 74.3 office score reflects that. But the 21st percentile display ranking is hard to ignore, and the grainy image quality some owners report is a real concern if you're picky about text clarity. At the low end of its price range, it's a good deal. At the high end, it's not.
