BenQ GW2790 27" Black 2024

★★★★★ 4.6 (177)

A 27-inch 1080p IPS panel with 100Hz refresh and 5ms response time separates this display, backed by flicker-free Eye-Care tech and an adaptive brightness sensor. USB-C input joins dual HDMI and DisplayPort, while ePaper and Coding modes minimize eye strain during extended reading or coding. It’s best for office workers and programmers prioritizing smooth scrolling and all-day comfort over color-critical accuracy.
