Whether you’re working remotely from home or navigating a hybrid work model, having the right tools is essential for productivity. The BenQ GW90 series, launched earlier this year, aims to cater to the needs of programmers and hybrid workers with its ergonomic and eye-care-focused monitors. In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the BenQ GW2790QT, a 27-inch variant from this series, and evaluate its performance, features, and suitability for various work scenarios.
The BenQ GW2790QT is a 27-inch QHD (2,560 x 1,440 pixels) monitor featuring an IPS panel and a typical brightness of 350 nits. The monitor boasts a 99% sRGB color accuracy, making it suitable enough for tasks requiring precise color representation. With a refresh rate of 75Hz and a response time of 5ms, the GW2790QT is not targeted at gamers, although it can also handle casual gaming.
The OSD menu is clean and easily navigated thanks to the handy joystick button control at the bottom side of the screen.
