BenQ GW2790E 27 Inch Eye-care Gaming Monitor, 100Hz, 1920x1080p, IPS, 2X HDMI, DisplayPort, Built-in Speakers, Wall Mount, Adaptive Brightness, Thin Bezel

I purchased this monitor as a backup to my Del 4K monitor. And although it does not have the resolution or the depth of colour to the Del it holds up well for the price point the screen is clear and bright and the colours are comparable to the more expensive Del monitor. I’m going to give it a solid 4 out of 5 for screen quality and build quality however the stand is not up to BenQ usual quality. Overall, I am thoroughly impressed as I paid less than £90. Overall, I’m going to give it 5 out of 5 because it’s such a fantastic monitor for the price and using it as a dual monitor in conjunction with my four times more expensive Del monitor it holds up very well.

Pros: +Good image quality for the price you're paying +Multiple, configurable image options. I've attached a few in the images. Image 1 = Stabdard, Image 2 = M-book and Image 3 = E-paper) +Has an E-paper which is in black & white. It's good for use at night or for reading. +It has a low blue light mode that you can adjust directly from the monitor. +Has 2 HDMI ports and 1 Display port +Very good performance for the price. 1080p, 100Hz, many features built in for <£100. +Decent sound quality, but I usually use headphones. +Very easy to set up. About 5 mins total. Cons: -Monitor stand is really short and cannot be moved (I bought and invision Vesa 100 monitor arm as seen in the photos). -No Type-C port, but that might not really be an issue for you. TL;DR: Great Price to performance ratio. Good image quality and low blue light mode is helpful. But, I recommend you get a monitor arm.

A surprisingly good quality monitor at a very reasonable price. I needed something that would manage a USB video input (and all of the rest). My newest laptop simply forgot about HDMI and would happily use the USBC, much to my delight. The speakers are more than the adequate, although I would have preferred to HDMIs, instead of two DisplayPorts, but given it's technological versatility I can appreciate why they did it. My one came with two power cables, a European and the UK one. Seemingly, according to the startup screen, it went through numerous certifications and you can see it is a very decent monitor and no corners cut. Recommended.

I bought this for my home office and it’s been a solid upgrade. The picture quality is sharp and clear, with bright, accurate colours and good viewing angles. Text is crisp, and it’s easy on the eyes during longer work sessions thanks to the low blue light mode and adjustable brightness. The 100Hz refresh rate gives everything a noticeably smoother feel, especially when multitasking or scrolling through documents. Setup was quick — it connected via HDMI and worked straight away with no issues. The speakers are low quality, but that’s pretty standard for built-in monitor audio. I don’t use them anyway, so it’s not something that bothers me. Overall, this is a great monitor for anyone setting up a home office or just looking for a reliable screen for everyday use. Clean design, solid performance, and good value for the price

Very happy with this purchase, good monitor for a good price. I'm not technically minded so i can't help with the spec side of things, but glad i bought it

At around £75 when i bought this monitor I am very happy I bought it for a very specific purpose which is to use with the cycling training application Zwift in my garage so I didn't want to spend a lot given where it was going to be used It replaced a very old 17" unit so at 24" its much better. The computer picked it up automatically and changed to 1920*1080/60Hz by default (using an NVidia 1650 GPU). I tried setting the graphic card to 75Hz refresh which it did with no problem but I couldn't detect any difference in use (and Zwift runs at a maximum of ~50fps on my PC anyway so I didn't need that higher setting) Very happy with the picture quality out of the box and I have made no adjustments at all. very crisp and flicker free. Ready for use about 5secs after powering on which is good as well I already have some other BENQ monitors and am pleased with those which is partly why I selected this unit 5 Stars for the monitor But - got the delivery notification that left with neighbour bit when I went to get it they had no knowledge of it. With no Amazon driver "failing to deliver" caught on our security camera it was pretty obvious that the Amazon driver has a new monitor so I had to ring up and complain - its tricky to navigate the Amazon automated customer service system but you can get to speak to a real person with persistence. And to be fair once I spoke to a real person another monitor was agreed to be sent FOC straight away, although it took another 3 days to arrive. Its the first time I have ever had anything like that from an Amazon delivery and it did leave a bad taste even though rectified quickly So 1 Star for delivery and 5 Stars for customer service

Great purchase. Excellent image with no problems. only fault was the sound volume, not loud enough. managed to connect my old speakers from a previous PC set-up. Now I am in heaven. Highly recommended.

Wonderful thanks

THE monitor is very good, for the price, perfectly adaptable colour modes, blue light filter, and gaming works very find for this class of monitors, qlso the responsiveness of the screen while gaming feels finem and at the same time this screen takes care of your eyes by adapting constantly the light intensity, of course dont use this during gaming

excelente monitor calidad precio lo mejor

Amazing for the price, love it

Ich habe mir den BenQ GW2490E Monitor bestellt, weil ich etwas günstiges aber gutes für den Alltag gesucht habe – und ich bin echt überrascht, wie viel man hier bekommt: Das gefällt sehr gut: Die Bildqualität ist bei Full HD absolut klar und ausreichend scharf – perfekt fürs Surfen, Office-Arbeit und Filme schauen. Die 100 Hz Bildwiederholrate merkt man insbesondere bei der Mausbewegung oder Scrollen – wirkt flotter und angenehmer als ältere 60 Hz Monitore. Farben und Blickwinkel sind akzeptabel: Bei seitlichem Betrachten kaum Einbußen, das Schwarz ist nicht ultra tief, aber für den Preis mehr als in Ordnung. Kein unangenehmes Flimmern, und die Augen-Schonfunktionen von BenQ helfen, längere Nutzungszeiten komfortabler zu gestalten. Verarbeitung wirkt solide; keine wackeligen Teile, Fuß stabil genug, Rahmen schmal – sieht auch optisch okay aus. Mögliche Nachteile / worauf man einstellen sollte: Wer super tiefe Schwarztöne oder High-End Gaming will, könnte bei diesem Modell an Grenzen stoßen – das IPS-Panel bietet nicht ganz das Kontrastverhältnis wie teurere Displays. Beim Anschluss mehrerer Geräte und hochauflösender Signale (z. B. 4K, obwohl der Monitor nur Full HD kann) sind die Möglichkeiten begrenzt. Einstellmöglichkeiten könnten besser sein (z. B. Höhenverstellung fehlt, Standfuß fix). Kein eingebauter Lautsprecher bzw. nur rudimentäre – wenn man Sound erwartet, muss man mit externen Lösungen arbeiten. Fazit: Für mich absolut empfehlenswert, wenn man ein gutes Display zum fairen Preis sucht. Alltags-Tauglichkeit + solide Bildqualität + angenehme 100 Hz – für diese Klasse bekommt man hier echt viel geboten. 5 Sterne von mir!
