BenQ GW2486TC 23.8" White
The 24-inch IPS panel with 100Hz refresh rate and edge-to-edge design delivers smooth scrolling and casual gaming, while USB-C with 60W power delivery simplifies single-cable connectivity and charging. BenQ’s exclusive Eye-Care technology with adaptive brightness reduces strain during long sessions, and the integrated noise-cancelling microphone transforms it into a practical conferencing hub. This monitor is best for home-office professionals and coders who need a flicker-free, color-accurate display with built-in eye protection for all-day desk work.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- Excellent ergonomic stand with height, tilt, swivel, and pivot 93th
- USB-C with 60W power delivery, daisy chain, and built-in mic 92th
- 100Hz refresh rate makes office work and light coding feel smooth 91th
- Eye-care tech with adaptive brightness is a real comfort booster 73th
Cons
- 250 nits brightness feels dim, especially near a window

- No KVM switch, just a plain USB hub, so you'll still be swapping cables

The proof
Performance
The 100Hz refresh rate is a surprisingly nice touch for a work monitor. Swiping through spreadsheets and scrolling feels way smoother than 60Hz, and even a little light gaming feels okay, though you'll want to keep your expectations in check because the pixel response is only 5ms. The 250-nit brightness is the biggest letdown, but if you're not sitting in direct sunlight, it's manageable. Color coverage hits 99% sRGB, which is fine for office work and casual Netflix, but don't expect HDR glory.

vs Competition
Most budget office monitors skip the adjustable stand or USB-C. The BenQ crushes them on both. Compared to the gaming monitors in this price bracket (like the MSI MAG 271QPX or LG UltraGear 27G810A-B), they'll smoke it on refresh rates and resolution, but they lack the all-day comfort features. If you need 4K for video editing or high fps for gaming, spend more on a Gigabyte M Series OLED. For everything else, the BenQ is the smarter buy.

Price
Value & Pricing
At $170 to $230, it's a fantastic deal. You'd normally pay $300+ for this level of ergonomics and USB-C in a 24-inch monitor from Dell or HP. If you spend most of your day in Excel or Slack, this is money well spent.

Overview
For a no-fuss home office monitor, the BenQ GW2486TC is a smart pick. It's a 24-inch 1080p IPS panel with a fully adjustable stand, USB-C charging, and some of the best eye-care tech we've seen. At under $250, it's a productivity workhorse that also throws in a 100Hz refresh rate for buttery-smooth scrolling. The built-in noise-cancelling mic and decent connectivity mean you can dock your laptop with a single cable and start your day instantly. If you're sick of hunching over a laptop screen, this is the upgrade your spine has been begging for.
Common Questions
Q: Will this monitor help with eye strain during long days?
Absolutely. BenQ's Eye-Care tech adjusts brightness automatically and reduces blue light, so you can stare at it for 8 hours without feeling like your eyeballs are sandpaper.
Q: Are the built-in speakers any good?
They're tinny 2W jobbies, okay for system sounds or a quick Zoom call, but you'll want real speakers or headphones for music or meetings.
Q: Can I raise it high enough for a standing desk?
Yes, the stand lifts a full 130mm, plus tilts, swivels, and pivots. It'll adapt to your weird desk posture, no problem.
Who Should Skip This
If you're looking for a high-refresh-rate gaming monitor or a 4K display for creative work, this isn't it. Go grab the Gigabyte M Series OLED or an ASUS ROG instead. This BenQ is a workhorse, not a show pony.
Verdict
Buy it. If you work from home and your current monitor is a hand-me-down from 2015, the GW2486TC will make your desk feel like a productivity sanctuary. The stand is a dream, the USB-C cable simplifies your life, and your eyes won't feel fried by 3pm. It's not flashy, but it's exactly what an office monitor should be.
