ASUS ASUS BE24EQK 23.8" Full HD 1920 x 1080 5 ms (GTG) Review
The ASUS BE24EQK bundles a webcam, mic, and speakers into one tidy package for your home office. Just don't expect the screen to impress anyone.
The 30-Second Version
Buy this monitor for the built-in webcam, not the screen. It's a clean all-in-one solution for video calls, but the 1080p/60Hz panel is strictly for office work.
Overview
The ASUS BE24EQK is a monitor that knows exactly what it is: a no-frills, all-in-one video conferencing station for your home office. It's not here to wow you with specs, but to solve the clutter problem. The one thing to know? If you're tired of juggling a separate webcam, speakers, and cables for calls, this monitor bundles it all into a clean, frameless package. It scores in the 85th percentile for social proof, which tells us a lot of people are buying it for exactly that reason.
Performance
Don't expect any surprises here, good or bad. With a 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time, it's firmly in the 'gets the job done' category for office work. Our database puts its performance in the 21st percentile, which is about as basic as it gets. The 300-nit brightness and 1080p resolution are perfectly fine for spreadsheets and video calls, but you won't be doing any color-critical work or gaming on this screen.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- The integrated 2MP webcam and mic array are legitimately convenient, turning a mess of peripherals into one clean setup. 86th
- Frameless IPS design looks sharp on a desk and the 178-degree viewing angles are great for sharing your screen in a small meeting. 83th
- Connectivity is solid with DisplayPort, HDMI, and even a legacy VGA port, covering all your bases. 75th
- ASUS Eye Care with flicker-free and low blue light modes is a genuine comfort feature for long days. 71th
Cons
- The display specs are bottom-of-the-barrel. At 1080p/60Hz, it feels dated compared to even budget monitors. 23th
- Built-in speakers are tinny and weak—fine for system sounds, but you'll want a headset for actual calls. 23th
- Some users report finicky setup getting the video to work, requiring calls to ASUS support. 31th
- It's heavy for a 24-inch monitor at over 10 pounds, mostly due to the built-in hardware.

Value & Pricing
At around $150, it's a fair deal but not a steal. You're paying a premium for the integrated webcam and mic. If you were to buy a similar spec monitor and a decent webcam separately, you'd probably spend about the same. The value is in the convenience, not the performance.
vs Competition
Stacked against a basic office monitor like a Dell SE2422H, the ASUS wins on built-in features but loses on pure screen value. The Dell is cheaper and often has better color out of the box. Compared to a dedicated video conferencing display like a Lenovo ThinkVision, the ASUS is more affordable but the Lenovo's camera and audio tech are usually a step up. For most home offices, the ASUS hits a sweet spot of 'good enough' across the board without needing extra gadgets.

Common Questions
Q: Is this good for gaming?
No, not at all. With a 60Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time, it's in our database's bottom third for gaming performance. Look for a monitor with at least 144Hz.
Q: Does it come with any free software?
Yes, it includes a 1-month subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud. It's a nice bonus if you use those apps, but check the offer's validity dates.
Q: Can I mount it on an arm?
Yep, it has a standard 100x100mm VESA mount on the back, so you can ditch the included stand for a monitor arm or wall mount.
Who Should Skip This
If you're looking for a beautiful screen for creative work, media consumption, or any kind of gaming, this isn't it. Go get a monitor with better color accuracy, a higher resolution, or a faster refresh rate instead. This one's for calls, not eye candy.
Verdict
We recommend the ASUS BE24EQK if your top priority is decluttering your desk for daily video calls. It's a focused tool that does its one job well. If you care more about screen quality, refresh rate, or gaming, look elsewhere immediately. This is a specialist, not a generalist.
