Description
The BenQ RD240Q redefines the developer workspace with a 24.1-inch IPS panel featuring a 2560x1600 resolution. This 16:10 aspect ratio provides significantly more vertical space than standard 16:9 displays, allowing programmers to view more lines of code simultaneously. Equipped with a 90W USB-C port for single-cable connectivity and Brightness Intelligence Gen2, this monitor is optimized for high-productivity environments.
This product is for:
- Software Engineers: Benefit from the 16:10 ratio and specialized Coding Mode for high-contrast text.
- Web Developers: Utilize the 95% P3 color gamut for accurate UI/UX design and testing.
- Late-night Coders: Leverage the Night Protection mode and B.I. Gen2 for low-light comfort.
- Multi-monitor Users: Use the MST (Multi-Stream Transport) support for seamless daisy-chaining.
- Technical Students: Protect long-term vision with TUV-certified hardware low blue light technology.

The user experience is centered on clarity and comfort. The dedicated Coding Mode offers two presets—Dark Theme and Light Theme—specifically tuned to improve the contrast of syntax highlighting. The anti-glare coating and 125 PPI pixel density ensure that even the smallest characters remain sharp. For those working in dark rooms, the Night Protection mode lowers the minimum brightness level beyond standard monitors to prevent eye searing.
Compared to standard 24-inch 1080p office monitors, the RD240Q offers 11% more vertical pixels and a much higher pixel density, resulting in sharper text. Unlike general-purpose monitors, the RD240Q includes Display Pilot 2 software, which allows users to map specific display settings to software applications, automating the switch to Coding Mode when an IDE is opened.
Q&A:
- What is the benefit of the 16:10 aspect ratio for coding? The 16:10 ratio provides extra vertical height compared to 16:9, allowing you to see more lines of code and reducing the need for constant scrolling.
- Can I charge my laptop through the monitor? Yes, the USB-C port supports Power Delivery up to 90W, which is sufficient to charge most modern high-performance laptops while transmitting video and data.
- Does this monitor support multi-monitor setups? Yes, the RD240Q supports MST (Multi-Stream Transport) via USB-C, enabling you to daisy-chain an additional monitor directly from the display.
- What makes the Coding Mode different from standard modes? Coding Mode is specifically calibrated to enhance the contrast and saturation of text colors, making it easier to distinguish between different elements of code syntax.
- Is the eye-care technology certified? Yes, the monitor holds TUV Eye Comfort 2.0 and EyeSafe 2.0 certifications, featuring hardware-level low blue light and flicker-free performance.
