ASUS ASUS Dual 23.8" BE24ECSBT Multi-Touch Monitor Kit Review

The ASUS Dual BE24ECSBT Multi-Touch Monitor Kit delivers two adjustable 24-inch 1080p touchscreens. It's ergonomic and well-connected, but the touch functionality is reportedly limited and only works on Windows. It's a niche pick for users who absolutely need touch input on a desktop setup.

If you're looking for a dual-monitor setup with touchscreen capabilities for under $800, the ASUS Dual 23.8" BE24ECSBT Multi-Touch Monitor Kit is a unique option. This kit includes two 24-inch, 1080p IPS touchscreen monitors designed to boost productivity. It's packed with features like USB-C connectivity, height-adjustable stands, and daisy-chaining support, making it a solid pick for creative pros or anyone who wants a more interactive desktop experience. The big question is whether the touch functionality is worth the premium over a standard dual-monitor setup, and we dug into the data to find out.

Let's be clear: you're not buying this for gaming or color-critical work. The 75Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time are fine for office tasks and casual use, but they land in the 42nd percentile for performance in our database. That means it's squarely in the 'good enough' zone. The 300-nit brightness and 8-bit color panel are also decent for general use, scoring in the 76th percentile for color. The real performance story here is about the touchscreen, and based on user feedback, it's a mixed bag. It works for basic interactions, but don't expect the fluidity of a high-end tablet.

Prices for this dual-monitor kit swing wildly, from about $362 to $738 depending on the vendor. That's a huge spread. At the lower end, it's a compelling value for two fully adjustable, USB-C monitors with touch capability. At the high end, you're paying a hefty premium for touch features that might not work as well as you'd hope. If touch isn't a strict requirement, you could get a pair of higher-resolution, faster refresh rate monitors for similar money.

This monitor kit exists in a weird niche. Compared to a standard office duo like the Dell UltraSharp 27" 4K, you're trading resolution and crisp text for touch input. Against gaming-focused competitors like the MSI MPG 32" 4K or the ASUS ROG Swift OLED, the BE24ECSBT isn't even in the same league for speed or image quality—it's not meant to be. Its real competition is other touchscreen monitors, like some of HP's offerings. The key differentiator here is the ergonomic stand and daisy-chaining, which are rare in the touchscreen world. If you need a touchscreen that's also easy on your neck, this ASUS kit has an edge.

Skip this kit if you're a gamer, a video editor, or a graphic designer. The 75Hz refresh rate and 1080p resolution won't cut it. Also, if you use a Mac or want touch for tablet-like browsing, look elsewhere—the touch features are Windows-only and reportedly unreliable. For those users, a standard high-refresh-rate gaming monitor or a professional-grade 4K display would be a much better investment.

Should you buy this? Only if touchscreen functionality is a non-negotiable part of your workflow and you're setting up a permanent, Windows-based desk. The excellent adjustability and connectivity make it a genuinely good office monitor, but the touch implementation holds it back from being great. If you can live without touching your screen, you'll get a better overall experience from a standard dual-monitor setup with higher resolution panels. This kit is a specialist tool, not a general-purpose champion.
