4k ips at 60hz - 200£ ...for people who work at home that do not game a lot or not at all seems like a great deal.

So many great monitor deals, holding out until Black Friday or Christmas sales

I have had this monitor, it's really quite a decent panel.

Tempting but is 4K @ 24" even beneficial?

Easily. The only debate worth having in my eyes is having 4k on a smartphone, a monitor is a no brainer.

I bought this a few months ago at this price, while most people argue a 24 inch 4K monitor isn't good... I think it's pretty nice. Scaling may be required as said by some people but for me 100% was fine. Just be aware that you are expected to sit close to this monitor to get a better 4K experience.

Thanks, was just about to buy this but seen it has been cheaper I will hold off, great deal though.

Can imagine some text scaling will be needed at this size

Prefer 10bit colour in my monitors but Samsung stopped selling the U24E850R and the LG 24UD58 has terrible backlight bleed so maybe this will have to do. Strange to include DVI when that can't do 4k @ 60hz.
Use with a MacBook Pro in retina mode (aka HiDPI) and it's pretty much the perfect size.
There is a decent review on the eBuyer site of this monitor, goes quite in depth about it. The scaling is apparently best at 150% but that is just an opinion.
IPS // 4K // 4ms response time // 60Hz // 80% sRGB // Good stand and build quality // Cheapest 4K monitor on the market apparently.

This is a good monitor but I would recommend getting an ultrawide monitor or use a 4k tv instead. The monitor can be overclocked to 73hz. When placed next to my old 23.4 AOC 1080p monitor it was better, but the difference was only noticeable when looking for a difference, it wasn't night and day.

Are you sure you have this exact monitor? Because one thing that annoys me about the CB241HQK is that its panel refreshes at 60Hz only. You can input non-60Hz video, but the monitor will either drop or duplicate frames because it always refreshes the panel at 60Hz.

I run mine at 72Hz and don't seem to have any issues with the display at all, with alot of gaming too.

Go to testufo.com/ If you set your PC to output at 60Hz, the little moving UFO should be silky-smooth.
If you set your PC to output anything else (like 72Hz), the UFO movement will probably be slightly jerky, because the monitor drops frames in order to refresh the actual panel at 60Hz.
