GW2490E 24 Inch Eye-care Gaming Monitor, 100Hz, 1920x1080p, IPS, 2X HDMI, DisplayPort, Built-in Speakers, Wall Mount, Adaptive Brightness, Thin Bezel

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.

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.

I ordered this as a result of starting to WFH. The screen is a good size for reading documents and working on apps such as excel, and it very good quality. I haven't used it for much else to cannot comment on refresh rate etc. The screen is quite durable as I have knocked it over when moving the desk before, and no damage was done. I would recommend this screen if you want to use it for working from home!

It's really decent for the price. I bought it because I needed a second monitor for connecting to my iPad for mirroring and I also now use it and plug it into my laptop. I like the fact it has 2 HDMI cables so two devices can be connected at once. I like the small rims around the edges so it looks sleek. Reason for 4 stars is because the sound is muffled. When connected to my laptop I need to play the sound from my laptop which was annoying at first till I found a good set up. Curiously when connected to my Switch the sound plays fine? Either way for my purposes it's great. I also like the fact it has eye safety features i.e. you can reduce blue light. I don't notice when it's on but means I can watch late at night and it not be too hard on my eyes. It does slant downwards a little but nothing too bad to notice.

I'm writing this review through this monitor. I've had it for quite some time now and it was worth every penny. It's never let me down. I highly recommend.

Very good monitor for the price break, would recommend for this size. No glare, great picture quality and not bad sound from the built in speakers.

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

It's a great budget 27 inch monitor, pleased with it. Purchased for a very good price. Picture is perfect for me. Very customizable, BenQ software allows quick changes to brightness and night modes. Takes the 2 PCs and the button is easy to switch between them. Speakers ok for windows sounds and bleeps and general windows use but I use a bigger speaker for other types of multi media consumption, films & music, I expected that, happy to have the basic speakers, I consider them a bonus for the price. I can see why it's a well reviewed monitor, I did my research and endorse all the positives about this monitor.

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

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!

This is a very good screen. Great for your eyes. I would highly recommend.
