For £105 ex-VAT, the ASUS VG249QE5A looks like a sensible “get on with work” 24-inch Full HD monitor. It’s the kind of spec you’d expect from a business-friendly budget panel: crisp enough at 1080p for typical office apps, solid everyday viewing, and nothing about it screams “gaming-only” or “design studio.” If you’re equipping a small office, running spreadsheets, CRM, report dashboards, or dual-screen setups, it’s easy to justify—especially if you just need dependable visuals without spending big.
That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re hoping for high-end colour accuracy, very smooth motion, or a premium viewing experience. Budget 1080p monitors can also struggle with brightness/contrast consistency and “seat it just right” ergonomics—fine for most desks, but not ideal if multiple people share the screen or you’re picky about colour. In short: buy it for practical office use where cost matters; don’t buy it if you’re doing colour-sensitive creative work, require standout motion quality, or plan to pay for this and then regret not going up a tier.
