BenQ GW2490E 24 Inch Monitor, Gaming 100Hz, Full-HD, IPS, Eye-Care, HDMI, DP

Great value as part of the Amazon 2nds programme was in perfect condition.Monitor itself is bright with good colours and the versatility of the stand makes this perfect for the home office. Bought it because it’s 65w pd via usb-C and it makes a lot of difference in a small office space at home.

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.

At around £75 when i bought this monitor I am very happyI 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 usedIt 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 wellI already have some other BENQ monitors and am pleased with those which is partly why I selected this unit5 Stars for the monitorBut - 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 quicklySo 1 Star for delivery and 5 Stars for customer service

Display quality is OK. The auto brightness, which is the main reason I bought it for, works satisfactorily in dark conditions. The sound from the internal speakers is really poor no matter the settings. My previous 3 yr old Dell monitor had grea sound, with no auto brightness. Colour accuracy is not the best. Build quality is OK.

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.

Got the screen on offer at £63 and at that price...what a deal! The resolution is great - I use it for my home office and it works great for that... can't comment for gaming. The framing is very narrow so the total size of the screen isn't massive. It's lightweight too and was easy to set up. Would recommend.

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.

OK it's an early review. - 3 weeks - for 24 inch version.I find this sort of review hard to quantify - I'm comparing a new 2025 monitor with a 10 year + one which failed.Technology has moved on - so hard to compare.All I can say is - at the price point I bought this monitor at I'm very impressed.Sharp graphics - Great colour contrast - and for this price decent sound.I don't want to use the word basic - but for a lowish cost monitor - early impression is excellent.Only con I can find is - yes I'm an idle sod - but when it goes to sleep (rather than turning it off) - does it really need to 'display' a sleep light (amber)? When it goes to sleep just turn the light off guys.
