ASUS BE24ECSBT 24-Inch Touch Monitor: features, specs and who it suits

The ASUS BE24ECSBT is a 23.8-inch Full HD monitor with a 10-point multi-touch screen. It lets you tap, swipe and pinch on a desktop display, and its USB-C port can carry video, data and power to a laptop over a single cable. Here is what its specs mean and where it fits.

A touchscreen for the desktop

The panel is a frameless 23.8-inch IPS at 1920 x 1080. IPS panels typically hold their colour well from wide angles, which is useful when a screen is tilted back and used by touch. ASUS says it recognises up to 10 simultaneous touches, and that it is optimised for Windows 11 and 10. The listing adds that touch functionality depends on the operating system, so check support if you use macOS, Linux or Chrome OS.

Touch suits tasks such as signing documents, using drawing or note apps, presenting, or kiosk and point-of-sale style setups, where tapping is quicker than reaching for a mouse.

One cable with USB-C

The USB-C port handles data, video and up to 80W of power delivery to a laptop, per ASUS. That means a compatible laptop can charge, send its picture and connect to the monitor's USB hub through one cable. Not every laptop's USB-C port supports video output, and 80W may be more or less than your laptop's charger, so check your laptop's specs.

Other connections are HDMI, DisplayPort in and DisplayPort out for daisy-chaining a second monitor (depending on your graphics hardware), an earphone jack and a USB hub.

Stand and ergonomics

The stand tilts from +35° to -5°, swivels ±180°, pivots ±90° and adjusts in height by 130 mm. A wide tilt range is helpful for touch, since many people prefer the screen angled back. The pivot allows portrait orientation. The monitor is also VESA wall mountable, per the title. It weighs 13.4 lb (about 6.1 kg) and measures about 21.3 inches wide by 18.1 inches tall.

Who it suits

It suits office workers, reception desks, classrooms, designers who like to annotate by hand and anyone who wants to simplify a laptop desk to one cable. It is a 60Hz-style office monitor in spirit; the listing doesn't give gaming figures.

What to check before you buy

• Operating system: confirm touch works with the system you use.
• Laptop USB-C: check it supports video output and the power delivery you need.
• Resolution: 1080p at 23.8 inches is sharp enough for most office work, but not for fine detail work.
• Touch use: a screen that is touched needs regular cleaning; check the manual for cleaning advice.
• Mounting: if you want a wall or arm mount, confirm the VESA pattern in the manual.
• Daisy chain: this depends on your graphics hardware and the monitors in the chain.
