Its 23.8-inch viewable IPS panel provides wide 178-degree viewing angles, ensuring consistent color and clarity from virtually any position. With a 1920x1080 resolution and 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, this monitor offers ample screen real estate for multitasking, media consumption, and everyday computing tasks.
Engineered with eye comfort in mind, the GW2490 incorporates BenQ's proprietary Brightness Intelligence Technology (B.I. Tech), which automatically adjusts screen brightness based on ambient lighting conditions. Combined with flicker-free technology, Low Blue Light Plus, and Eyesafe certification, this monitor reduces eye strain during extended use, making it suitable for long workdays or immersive gaming sessions.
Technical Overview
This monitor leverages In-plane Switching (IPS) technology to deliver accurate color reproduction and consistent performance across its 99% sRGB color gamut. The 5 ms Gray-to-Gray (GTG) response time, enhanced by Advanced Motion Accelerator (AMA), minimizes motion blur for smoother visuals in fast-paced content. A 100 Hz standard refresh rate further reduces motion artifacts, providing a fluid viewing experience for video playback and casual gaming.
Connectivity is handled by two HDMI ports and one DisplayPort, supporting HDCP for protected content playback. Integrated dual speakers offer basic audio output, while the on-screen display (OSD) provides intuitive access to settings like Game Mode, M-book Mode, and ePaper Mode for optimized viewing in different scenarios.
