MSI PRO Monitor Guide: Choosing an Office Display in the UK
Short answer: if your main screen has just died and you have work tomorrow, the MSI PRO monitor to look at is the 23.8-inch MP242L — a Full HD IPS office display at £147.50 with free next-day UK dispatch, so you can be back at your desk in the morning.
When a monitor fails mid-week, you do not have time to research — you need the right screen, first time, delivered fast. This guide explains what the MSI PRO range is, gives you the spec at a glance, and ends with a two-minute checklist so you can order with confidence and not lose a day's work.
What "MSI PRO monitor" means
PRO is the office/business range — built for productivity and long desk sessions rather than gaming lights and extreme refresh rates. The model stocked here is the MP242L: a plain, reliable everyday office screen.

Pick the right screen fast
The one thing that trips up an emergency purchase is ports. Before you order, check your laptop or PC has an HDMI or DisplayPort output (almost all do) — that is what the MP242L uses. If your old screen was 24-inch Full HD, this is a like-for-like replacement, so nothing else in your setup needs to change.
Emergency replacement checklist
- Confirm you have an HDMI or DisplayPort cable (or order one at the same time).
- Check the next-day dispatch cut-off time on the product page and order before it.
- Confirm the item shows in stock in a UK warehouse.
- Keep the box for 30 days in case you want to return it.
For a 24-inch, in-stock, next-day office screen, the MSI PRO MP242L at £147.50 is a safe, fast choice.
Honest boundary: the PRO range is built for office and productivity work, not gaming or colour-critical creative jobs — if you need those, look at a different class of monitor. And next-day delivery depends on ordering before the cut-off and the item being in stock, so check both before you rely on it.

Frequently asked questions
What is an MSI PRO monitor?
MSI PRO is the office and business line of monitors, aimed at everyday desk work rather than gaming. The model sold here, the MSI PRO MP242L, is a 23.8-inch Full HD (1920x1080) IPS display with a matte anti-glare finish and a 100Hz refresh rate.
Is the MSI PRO MP242L good for office work?
Yes. Its IPS panel gives steady colour and wide viewing angles, the matte coating cuts glare in bright rooms, and Full HD at 23.8 inches keeps text sharp at a normal desk distance. It suits email, spreadsheets, documents and video calls.
Does the MSI PRO MP242L work with a laptop?
Yes. Connect it to a laptop's HDMI or DisplayPort output with a single cable and it works as a second screen. It does not offer USB-C single-cable docking, so it charges nothing over the video cable; use the laptop's own charger.
Can I get an MSI PRO monitor delivered next day in the UK?
MSIPRO offers free UK delivery with next-day dispatch on the MP242L when it is in stock. Check the dispatch cut-off time shown on the product page before you order so it goes out the same day.
Does the MSI PRO MP242L have built-in speakers?
No. It has a headphone output but no built-in speakers, so use headphones or external speakers for sound.
