ASUS ProArt PA247CV 23.8" 24" Review

The ASUS ProArt PA247CV is a connectivity and ergonomics champ in a 24-inch package. It offers fantastic adjustability, accurate colors, and super-convenient USB-C charging for laptops. It's not a high-resolution or gaming screen, but for under $230, it's a brilliant buy for a tidy, professional desk setup.

The ASUS ProArt PA247CV is a 24-inch 1080p monitor that's laser-focused on one thing: being a rock-solid, no-fuss workhorse for your desk. It's not here to wow you with flashy gaming specs or a massive screen, but to deliver reliable, accurate color and exceptional adjustability for the price.

And honestly, for the money, it nails that brief. You get a factory-calibrated IPS panel with 100% sRGB coverage, a USB-C port that handles video, data, and 65W laptop charging, and a stand that moves in every direction you could want. It's a Swiss Army knife for a basic workstation.

Performance is where this monitor shows its priorities. The 75Hz refresh rate and Adaptive-Sync are nice touches that make everyday scrolling smoother than a standard 60Hz panel, but it's not a gaming screen. Our data puts its overall performance in the 46th percentile, which is fine for office and creative tasks. The 1080p resolution on a 24-inch screen is sharp enough for text and spreadsheets, but you won't get the pixel density of a 4K display. Where it really shines is color accuracy out of the box, scoring in the 76th percentile, which is impressive for this price bracket.

For between $179 and $229, the value proposition is strong if you need its specific feature set. You're paying for the ProArt color accuracy and that fantastic ergonomic stand, not raw pixel count or speed. Compared to a basic $150 office monitor, the USB-C and stand alone are worth the upgrade. But if you don't need color-critical work or all that adjustability, you can find cheaper 1080p screens.

This isn't competing with the 4K gaming monsters listed. Its real rivals are other 24-inch work monitors like the Dell P-series or a basic LG UltraFine. The ASUS wins on ergonomics and connectivity—that USB-C hub is a killer feature for MacBook or ultrabook users. Compared to a Dell UltraSharp 27" 4K, you're giving up resolution and screen real estate for a lower price and that killer stand. For a dual-monitor coding or office setup, the daisy-chaining and slim bezels make the ASUS a smarter pick than a fancier but less flexible screen.

Skip this if you're a gamer wanting high frame rates, a video editor needing 4K resolution, or anyone who wants a minimalist monitor without a bulky stand. For those uses, the money is better spent on a higher-refresh 1080p panel or a larger 1440p screen.

Buy this if you're setting up a home office or a color-accurate secondary workstation and value a clean, adjustable setup over screen size. It's perfect for spreadsheet jockeys, writers, and light photo editors who want one cable to rule them all for their laptop. The included 3-month Adobe Creative Cloud trial is a nice bonus for creatives dipping their toes in.
