HDR & Brightness Reality
HDR10 support on the Asus BE249QG only means it can accept an HDR signal. Brightness is 350 cd/m², contrast is 1500:1 and no peak-brightness value or local dimming is listed. Those figures suit normal office work but do not create strong highlight separation or deep blacks. The 8-bit colour path and 99% sRGB coverage also point to standard SDR use. HDR should not influence the buying decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
01 Why does the Asus BE249QG still include D-sub? +
The analogue input supports older office PCs and specialist equipment that lack modern digital outputs. Image quality is better over DisplayPort or HDMI when those are available.
02 How useful is 120 Hz on a business monitor like the BE249QG? +
Scrolling, cursor movement and window animation look smoother than at 60 Hz. The 5 ms response and office feature set still keep it outside serious gaming use.
03 What is the BE249QG's biggest limitation for laptop users? +
There is no USB-C video or charging. A laptop needs a separate HDMI or DisplayPort adapter plus its normal power supply.
04 How flexible is the BE249QG stand? +
It provides 150 mm height adjustment, ±180° swivel, ±90° pivot and a -5° to +35° tilt range. That is unusually complete for a 23.8-inch office model.
05 Does the four-port USB hub make the BE249QG a docking monitor? +
No, it only brings four USB-A downstream ports to the desk. It lacks Ethernet, USB-C video and laptop power delivery.
