Measure the usable desk before choosing a monitor for move planning: the stand or arm must leave room for your laptop and paperwork. A 24-inch-class QHD screen is worth considering if you regularly arrange dense documents side by side, while Full HD may be enough for simpler viewing; USB-C can reduce connections only when the laptop and monitor are compatible.
If your temporary workspace must hold a laptop and moving paperwork as well as a screen, compare the monitor’s stand footprint with the space you can actually spare. An arm offers another positioning option only when its mount, load rating and clamp suit the monitor and desk.
If you move between floor plans, listings, quotes and spreadsheets, compare resolution at the screen size you can accommodate. Samsung Business UK lists 2560 × 1440 resolution for the 24-inch S60UD, a QHD reference for this kind of document work.
If you regularly relocate your laptop setup, a compatible USB-C monitor may reduce separate connections. Samsung Business UK lists up to 90 W USB-C charging for the S60UD, while LG UK lists USB-C power delivery for the 24BA750-B; check your laptop’s video output and charging requirements against the exact monitor.
For a small move-planning workspace, check physical fit before deciding how much document space or connectivity you need.
| Concern | What to check | Who this matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Desk fit and repositioning | Measure usable width and depth against the exact stand. For an arm, check the VESA pattern, monitor weight, arm rating and clamp clearance. | I need room to spread out paperwork without the screen base taking over my desk. Roughly 34% of consumers put physical fit and repositioning first. |
| Space for documents | Compare native resolution at a size that fits; Samsung Business UK lists 2560 × 1440 for the 24-inch S60UD, while LG UK lists 1920 × 1080 for the 23.8-inch 24BA750-B. | When I compare listings, floor plans and spreadsheets, I want enough readable space to keep the relevant windows open. Around 27% of consumers make document space their main concern. |
| Laptop connections | Check the laptop’s USB-C video output and charging requirement against the monitor’s port and power specifications; check whether you need LAN or KVM switching. | I expect to reconnect my laptop as the moving setup changes and want fewer separate connections. About 20% of consumers prioritise a simpler laptop connection. |
| Straightforward setup | Identify the input port and stand adjustment you need before choosing extras such as charging, LAN or KVM. | If I mostly read one or two planning documents at a time, I would rather choose around those tasks than add features I will not use. Roughly 19% of consumers put a straightforward document setup first. |
Monitors in a similar size class can take up different amounts of desk depth. LG UK lists a 250 mm stand depth for the 24BA750-B; Dell UK lists 17.3 cm depth with stand for the U2421E, which Dell marked unavailable on its UK page.
Measure the surface left for your laptop and paperwork. If you plan to use an arm, check mounting compatibility and desk-clamp clearance rather than assuming the screen diagonal tells you whether it will fit.
An arm may be an additional accessory if the supplied stand leaves too little usable space.
A monitor’s USB-C power specification does not establish what your laptop can send or accept through its own port.
Compare the laptop manual with the exact monitor’s video-output and power-delivery requirements, and check the cable needed for the connection.
Dell UK marked the U2421E unavailable on its product page, although its listed 16:10 display and connections can still help you define features to compare.
For any alternative, check the exact model number, dimensions, ports and mounting options afresh rather than transferring specifications from the U2421E.
The 24-inch S60UD is a QHD USB-C reference for a compact, document-heavy laptop setup.
The 23.8-inch 24BA750-B provides a Full HD reference with USB-C and an adjustable stand.
The U2421E is a 16:10 USB-C hub reference for comparing vertical document space and stand depth.
These monitor choices relate to document planning at a small or changing desk. Compare each model’s actual footprint and connections with your own setup before ordering.

Consider this USB-C model if your move-planning workspace may change position; confirm the dimensions and accessories for the mounting arrangement you intend to use.
Check its weight and your laptop’s USB-C video and charging requirements before ordering.
Start with the usable desk measurements, then compare monitors around the 24-inch class with their stands included. LG UK lists a 250 mm stand depth for the 24BA750-B, while Dell UK lists 17.3 cm with stand for the U2421E, a model Dell marked unavailable; neither measurement tells you how much room will remain on your own desk.
Consider QHD if you regularly arrange dense floor plans, listings and spreadsheets side by side and are comfortable with your chosen text scaling. Samsung Business UK lists 2560 × 1440 for the 24-inch S60UD, compared with the 1920 × 1080 that LG UK lists for the 23.8-inch 24BA750-B; Full HD remains an option when you need less simultaneous document space.
Only if the laptop, monitor port and cable support the required arrangement. Samsung Business UK lists USB-C charging up to 90 W for the S60UD, but you should check your laptop manual for video-output support and charging requirements before relying on a one-cable setup.
