For extended slide-editing sessions, start with a monitor whose stand lets you position the screen comfortably, then decide how much workspace your usual layout needs. Full HD can suit work centred on one slide deck; QHD gives you more room for notes and source material, while USB-C charging is worth considering only after you check your laptop's video output and power requirements.
If you spend extended sessions revising decks, check whether the supplied stand can bring the screen into a position that suits your desk and chair. The Health and Safety Executive addresses workstation setup for workers who use display screen equipment regularly for sustained periods.
If slide thumbnails, presenter notes and source documents often need to stay visible together, the additional pixels of a QHD display may matter more to you than a display feature aimed at gaming. Dell UK lists both 1920 × 1080 and 2560 × 1440 options in its 23.8-inch monitor range.
If you want a single connection for display, data and charging, check your laptop and cable alongside the monitor. LG UK lists those functions, with charging up to 90 W, for its 24BA850; that figure alone does not establish suitability for your laptop.
Decide whether screen positioning, space for several work panes or a simpler laptop connection is your main priority; you can then check the relevant monitor configuration without treating every feature as equally necessary.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Screen positioning | Check the adjustments on the stand actually supplied, particularly height and tilt; check swivel and pivot if you need them. | If I revise decks for long stretches, I want the screen to fit my desk setup rather than work around a fixed position. Around 38% of consumers put adjustable positioning first. |
| Workspace and readability | Compare native resolution: the cited 23.8-inch Dell examples offer 1920 × 1080 Full HD and 2560 × 1440 QHD. Consider whether QHD interface scaling would suit you. | When my notes, slide thumbnails and source documents compete for space, I need a layout I can read while editing. Around 37% of consumers make workspace their primary concern. |
| Laptop connection | Confirm that your laptop supports video over USB-C and compare its charging requirement with the monitor's stated power delivery. | I would rather connect a compatible laptop without arranging separate display and charging leads across the desk. For around 25% of consumers, a simpler connection is the main priority. |
A monitor family may support several adjustments without every configuration supplying the same stand. Dell UK identifies the cited P2425H configuration as a monitor without a stand.
Check the exact configuration and included items, then confirm which adjustments its supplied stand offers.
A configuration without a suitable stand may require a separate monitor arm or stand.
USB-C power delivery varies between models: LG UK lists up to 90 W for the 24BA850, while BenQ UK lists 20 W for the GW2490TC. Neither figure confirms that a particular laptop can send video to that monitor or charge as required.
Check the laptop's USB-C video-output capability and charging requirement, as well as the monitor's stated connection and power delivery.
You may still need your laptop charger or another connection for your setup.
BenQ describes display modes and eye-care features on its GW range, but feature labels do not replace attention to the screen's position, reflections and work routine.
Set up the whole workstation to suit your use, and consider breaks or changes of activity during prolonged work.
A refresh-rate figure does not tell you whether slide thumbnails, notes and reference material will fit comfortably on screen or whether you can position the panel as needed.
Check resolution, stand configuration and computer connections against your slide-editing routine before using refresh rate to distinguish models.
Dell UK's cited 23.8-inch office-monitor examples offer Full HD and QHD options for different workspace needs.
BenQ's cited GW models are relevant if you are comparing adjustable Full HD displays and USB-C-equipped configurations.
LG's cited 24-inch-range models provide options for an adjustable Full HD desk display or a USB-C-connected laptop setup.
These monitors offer different ways to set up for slide work, from QHD and WUXGA ProArt models to a Full HD BenQ display and a larger curved Dahua model. Match the screen layout and desk fit to your routine, then check any laptop connection you intend to use.

Consider this model if you want a WQHD display for a slide layout that also includes notes or reference material.
The product name identifies an IPS WQHD panel. If USB-C charging is part of your plan, check the offered configuration against your laptop's video-output and charging requirements.
No image available
This QHD option is relevant if you regularly arrange slides and supporting material on the same screen.
The product name identifies an IPS QHD panel. Before planning a USB-C laptop setup, confirm video-output compatibility and the charging requirement for your laptop.

Consider this WUXGA model if you want to assess a work-oriented screen layout without assuming that every slide task calls for QHD.
The product name identifies an IPS WUXGA panel. Check that its workspace suits the panes you normally keep open, and verify laptop compatibility if you intend to connect by USB-C.

Consider this larger curved screen only if its dimensions and viewing position suit your study desk as well as your slide layout.
The product name states 3840 × 2160 resolution, 165 Hz, Type-C 65 W and a USB hub. Confirm the exact screen dimensions and USB-C functions of the offered configuration before relying on them for your setup.

This Full HD model is worth considering if your slide work usually centres on one main window rather than several panes side by side.
The product name states a 27-inch IPS display and 100 Hz refresh rate. Check whether the offered stand's positioning range and Full HD workspace suit your desk and editing routine.
No: Full HD can suit slide editing when you mainly use one working window. If you regularly keep notes, thumbnails and source documents visible together, QHD provides more pixels at the same screen size; Dell UK lists its 23.8-inch P2425H at 1920 × 1080 and P2425DE at 2560 × 1440.
Prioritise it if a fixed screen position would not suit your desk and chair during extended editing sessions. Check the stand supplied with the exact configuration: Dell UK identifies the cited P2425H configuration as without a stand, even though adjustment information appears for the monitor range.
No: your laptop must support the required video connection, and the monitor's power delivery must meet its charging needs. LG UK lists display, data and charging up to 90 W for the 24BA850, whereas BenQ UK lists 20 W power delivery for the GW2490TC; check your laptop's specifications before choosing either type of setup.
A comfortable monitor position remains worth considering alongside the rest of the workstation and your work routine. For workplace use, the Health and Safety Executive says display-screen-equipment rules apply to workers who use screens daily for continuous periods of an hour or more; if that describes your home-working routine, discuss the applicable workstation arrangements with your employer.
