The ASUS VP249QGR is one such model, featuring the simple and sleek design members of the company’s VP series are known for. The top and side bezels are very slim, with a dual-stage design. This combines a very slender panel border with a slim hard plastic outer component. The bottom bezel is thicker, dark grey matte plastic with a brushed texture. The OSD (On Screen Display) is controlled by pressable buttons on the underside of the bottom bezel, towards the right side. There are also some dark red button labels on the bottom bezel.
