The cheapest sensible way to leave 60Hz behind, with an IPS panel instead of the TN screens this price used to buy.
Quick Specs
- 23.8" IPS, 1920 x 1080, 16:9
- 120Hz maximum refresh rate
- 1ms MPRT response
- 300 cd/m², 1500:1 typical contrast, 99% sRGB
- HDMI 1.4 and VGA, Adaptive-Sync
Where the money went, and where it did not
At this price ASUS spent the budget on the panel: IPS colour and 178-degree viewing angles rather than the washed-out shift you get off-axis from a cheap TN screen, plus 120Hz and Adaptive-Sync so frame pacing stays clean in the 60 to 120fps range most entry GPUs live in. What it does not have is DisplayPort, USB, speakers or a height-adjustable stand. Inputs are one HDMI 1.4 and one VGA, and tilt is the only adjustment. If you need a riser or an arm, the 100 x 100mm VESA pattern is there.
Why 23.8 inches and 1080p go together
Full HD stretched over a 27" screen looks soft because the pixels get large enough to see. At 23.8 inches the same 1920 x 1080 sits at roughly 93 PPI, which is where 1080p still looks tidy for text and game UI. That makes this a good second monitor, a first gaming monitor for a school-leaver build, or an office screen that happens to handle games well. Buyers who already run a 1440p card should skip it and put the money into resolution instead of saving it here.

Questions
Before you buy
What do I need to run it at its full refresh rate?
To reach 120Hz at 1920 x 1080 you need a graphics card able to output that mode, a cable that supports it, and the refresh rate selected in Windows display settings - monitors often default to 60Hz out of the box. The ports on this panel are listed under Specifications above.
What sort of panel is it?
It is IPS with a 1ms MPRT response time. Panel type is the main thing that decides how a monitor looks off-centre and how it handles colour and contrast, so it is worth weighing against refresh rate rather than choosing on the headline number alone.
Can I wall-mount it or put it on an arm?
This is a 23.8 inch panel. Whether it takes a VESA mount, and at which spacing, is listed under Specifications - if a VESA size is shown there, any arm or bracket rated for that pattern and the monitor’s weight will fit. If you are not sure, send us the model of your arm and we will check.
Is it in stock, and when will it ship?
Yes - this one is in stock. Order before 12:00 on a working day and it ships the same day; after that it goes out the next working day. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday, so an order placed over a weekend or a public holiday ships on the next working day.
What does delivery cost, and how long does it take?
We deliver by courier anywhere in South Africa, and delivery is R180 on orders under R2 500 and free on orders of R2 500 or more. It takes 1-3 working days to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and areas within 100km of them, and 2-4 working days to areas more than 100km from a major centre, counted from the day the order is dispatched. Need it sooner? Express delivery is 1-2 working days for R210, or R150 on orders of R2 500 or more - choose it at checkout. We do not ship outside South Africa.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered?
Yes. Collection is from 11 Voortrekker Avenue, Edenvale, Gauteng, by arrangement - message us first so we can have the order picked and waiting. We are open 09:00 to 16:30, Monday to Friday.
What warranty does it carry, and how do I claim?
The warranty period for this product is listed at the end of the Specifications section above. Claims go through us, not the manufacturer - contact us with your order number and a description of the fault and we will handle it from there. Separately from any warranty, the Consumer Protection Act gives you six months from delivery to return goods that are defective, unsafe or not fit for their intended purpose.
What if I change my mind?
You have 14 days from delivery to change your mind - longer than the seven days the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act requires. The item needs to be unused and in its original packaging, and we pay the return shipping. Refunds go back to the payment method you used, within 30 days of the return reaching us.
How can I pay?
Payments are processed by Stitch. At the last step of checkout you are taken to Stitch’s secure page to pay, and brought back here once it is done. Your card details are entered on Stitch’s secure, PCI-compliant page and never touch our systems.
