Description
The BenQ GW2490T is a professional-grade 23.8-inch FHD monitor that prioritizes ocular health and ergonomic flexibility. Utilizing an IPS panel with 1920x1080 resolution, it delivers consistent color accuracy across 178-degree viewing angles. The display is distinguished by its 100Hz refresh rate, which provides smoother motion transitions compared to standard 60Hz office displays, and its integration of Brightness Intelligence Gen2 (B.I. Gen2) for automated environmental light adaptation.

Operating the GW2490T is enhanced by the Eye-CareU software, which allows users to manage eye-care settings and receive break reminders directly through the OS. The 100Hz refresh rate significantly reduces perceived motion blur during scrolling, making it more comfortable for reading long web pages. The B.I. Gen2 sensor effectively balances screen brightness with room lighting, preventing the display from being too bright in dark environments or too dim in well-lit offices. The 1300:1 contrast ratio provides a slight edge in text clarity over standard 1000:1 IPS panels.
Compared to the standard GW2490, the GW2490T adds a comprehensive ergonomic stand, making it the preferred choice for users without external monitor arms. While many budget IPS monitors cap at 75Hz, the 100Hz panel here offers a 33% increase in frame delivery, resulting in more fluid cursor tracking. It competes directly with entry-level professional displays but offers a more robust suite of eye-care certifications, specifically the Eyesafe 2.0 standard which manages blue light at the hardware level without yellowing the screen.
