Overview
Small flats and dorm desks call for something like the Asus VA249QGS, a 23.8-inch IPS monitor that doubles as a USB hub. A four-port USB-A hub sits on the back for keyboards, drives and webcams, while the Full HD panel runs at 120 Hz, reaches 350 nits and holds 1500:1 contrast. One HDMI 1.4 and one DisplayPort 1.2 cover video, and two 2 W speakers are built in. The stand lifts 130 mm, and the whole monitor weighs 4.8 kg.
