Small-desk leaflet editors
You need room for bilingual copy and layout tools without losing the space used by your keyboard and printed reference pages. Compare the monitor’s dimensions with its stand fitted, not just its screen size.
Who this is for
Colour-sensitive layout editors
You prepare artwork that may be reviewed on screen or against a print proof. A documented colour mode and calibration claim help you assess the display, but cannot establish how a particular printer and paper will reproduce the leaflet.
Laptop-first desk users
You want fewer cables around a compatible laptop and may need the monitor to connect peripherals or supply charging power. Check both the laptop’s video-output support and the monitor’s USB-C functions.
What matters when choosing
For bilingual leaflet editing, screen format changes how you arrange the page, while the stand and connections determine whether that format works on your actual desk. These model-specific routes show where each trade-off becomes important.
QHD layout space
Consider it when: you want more pixels for copy, images and editing panels. BenQ UK specifies a 25-inch, 2560 × 1440 display for the PD2506Q.
Allow for: its stand-equipped footprint of 570.0 × 256.9 mm, according to BenQ UK; measure the desk before treating the screen as compact.
Taller 16:10 documents
Consider it when: reviewing page flow and bilingual text vertically matters more to you than QHD resolution. ASUS United Kingdom lists the ProArt PA248QV as a 24.1-inch, 1920 × 1200 display.
Allow for: fewer pixels than the cited QHD BenQ; inspect text size and application scaling at your intended viewing position.
USB-C laptop hub
Consider it when: a compatible laptop, charging and connected peripherals take priority. Dell UK lists an integrated hub and 90 W USB-C power delivery for the UltraSharp U2424HE.
Allow for: the U2424HE’s 1920 × 1080 resolution, and confirm that your laptop supports the required video output and charging arrangement.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Desk fit and canvas | Measure usable width and depth against the dimensions with the stand fitted. Compare QHD pixel space with a taller 16:10 format for your editing tools. | I need the screen, keyboard and printed sheets to fit without crowding my working position; roughly 33% of consumers put desk fit and usable canvas first. |
| Colour workflow | Check the colour mode required for digital review and distinguish stated gamut coverage from calibration claims. Confirm print-profile and proofing requirements with the print provider. | When I prepare logos or photographs for review, I want a defined display mode rather than relying on a vivid-looking picture. Around 27% of consumers prioritise colour confidence. |
| Laptop connection | Match the laptop’s video-output and charging requirements to the monitor’s USB-C functions and power-delivery rating; check the ports needed for peripherals. | I move a laptop on and off this desk and want fewer separate connections. For approximately 20% of consumers, a compatible, simpler laptop connection is the primary need. |
| Viewing position | Check stand height and tilt against your installed seating position; consider pivot only if you will review pages in portrait orientation. | Long copy-review sessions make it important for me to position the screen comfortably beside my notes. Roughly 20% of consumers put adjustability first. |
Buying pitfalls
-
Choosing by screen diagonal alone
A 25-inch screen can still take up considerable desk depth: BenQ UK specifies the PD2506Q at 570.0 mm wide and 256.9 mm deep with its stand.
Measure the usable desk area, leaving room for the keyboard, reference sheets and cables. If considering an arm, check the monitor’s mounting specification and the arm’s clamp requirements too.
-
Assuming USB-C replaces every laptop connection
Charging and video depend on both devices. BenQ UK specifies 65 W power delivery for the PD2506Q, while Dell UK lists 90 W for the U2424HE; neither rating establishes compatibility with every laptop.
Check your laptop’s charging requirement and video-output support, then confirm the exact monitor’s USB-C functions and supplied cable.
-
Expecting colour specifications to guarantee a print match
A monitor’s gamut and calibration claims describe the display, not the printer, paper or viewing conditions used for a finished leaflet.
Choose the display mode appropriate to your work and ask the print provider which colour profile and proofing process to use before approving production.
-
Leaving old-monitor disposal until delivery
Replacing a monitor also means arranging an appropriate electrical-waste route for the old one.
Before ordering, ask the retailer about same-type take-back arrangements or check a suitable electrical-waste collection option.
Brands to consider for these monitor formats
BenQ
The Creative Pro PD2506Q is a 25-inch QHD option for editors considering documented colour coverage, USB-C connectivity and an adjustable stand.
- BenQ UK specifies 2560 × 1440 resolution, 100% sRGB and Rec.709 coverage, 65 W USB-C power delivery and 110 mm of height adjustment for the PD2506Q.
- Its stated 570.0 × 256.9 mm stand-equipped footprint needs checking against the desk. The manufacturer’s colour figures do not validate a screen-to-print match.
ASUS
The ProArt PA248QV and PA248QFV are 24.1-inch, 16:10 options for document-oriented editing.
- ASUS United Kingdom specifies 1920 × 1200 resolution and 100% sRGB and Rec.709 coverage for the PA248QV, alongside a manufacturer colour-accuracy claim of Delta E below 2.
- These WUXGA models have fewer pixels than the cited QHD option. Check the exact model’s laptop connections rather than assuming USB-C charging.
Dell
The UltraSharp U2424HE is relevant when a laptop connection and integrated hub take priority on a small desk.
- Dell UK lists a 23.8-inch IPS display, integrated USB hub, 90 W USB-C power delivery and an adjustable stand for the U2424HE.
- Its 1920 × 1080 resolution provides fewer pixels than the cited QHD display; laptop video output and charging compatibility need separate checks.
Joybuy monitor choices for leaflet editing

ASUS ProArt PA248CNV IPS WUXGA
Consider this WUXGA model if a taller document workspace matters for bilingual copy. Measure the complete stand against your desk and confirm that its USB-C video and charging functions suit your laptop; treat colour claims separately from print-proofing requirements.

iiyama ProLite XB2492HSU 24-inch Full HD monitor
This 16:9 Full HD option is worth considering if it provides enough room for your editing panels and page view. Measure its stand against the desk, and check the exact colour and connection requirements of your workflow rather than assuming laptop charging.
No image available
ASUS ProArt PA248CRV IPS WUXGA
Its WUXGA format may suit vertically oriented copy review. Confirm the stand-equipped dimensions before choosing it for a small desk; if laptop charging or colour-sensitive work is central, check the exact connection and colour specifications for this model.
No image available
ASUS ProArt PA24ACRV IPS QHD
Consider its QHD format if arranging text, images and editing controls across the screen matters more to you than a taller 16:10 format. Check the stand’s full dimensions, the colour mode required for your work and any USB-C compatibility needed by your laptop.
No image available
Dell P2425 24-inch monitor
Consider this model for document editing if its screen format suits your leaflet layout. Check its stand-equipped footprint against the desk and confirm the exact USB-C and refresh-rate specifications before relying on either for a laptop setup.
Common questions
How should I position a monitor on a small desk?
Position the installed screen so its top is at or slightly below eye level, as Ergotron advises. Check that the stand, keyboard and printed pages still leave you a workable viewing position; an adjustable stand can help if the desk or chair limits placement.
Will USB-C provide video, charging and hub functions with my laptop?
Not necessarily: the laptop and the exact monitor must support the functions you need. Check the laptop’s video-output and charging specifications against the monitor’s USB-C video mode, power delivery and hub ports before counting on a single connection.
What should I do with an old monitor when replacing it?
Arrange a suitable electrical-waste collection or take-back route rather than leaving disposal until the new monitor arrives. Ask the retailer how its same-type take-back arrangement works for your order and whether you need to arrange drop-off or collection.
