Monitor BenQ BL2490, 24" IPS FHD, 100Hz, HDMI, DP

BenQ BL2490 is a 24-inch IPS monitor for general use that combines FHD resolution and a higher than standard 100 Hz refresh rate. It is aimed at everyday work, multimedia, and lighter gaming, without unnecessary extras and inflated price class. The IPS panel with wide viewing angles 178/178 gives you stable colors, even when you are not exactly centered in front of the screen. Add the convenient HDMI and DisplayPort inputs, and you get a monitor that easily fits into almost any desktop setup.

What you get

With a resolution of 1920 x 1080 on 24 inches, you have a clear picture and readable text without having to scale the interface. The IPS panel with 16.7 million colors is suitable for working with office software, basic photo editing, and comfortably watching movies. The 100 Hz refresh rate makes motion smoother compared to standard 60 Hz – useful for scrolling in a browser and for gaming. The response time of 5 ms is adequate for everyday use and casual gaming. Thanks to VESA 100 x 100 mm, you can easily mount it on a stand or wall bracket, thus compensating for the lack of height adjustment.

• 24" IPS panel with wide viewing angles 178/178, so colors and contrast remain stable even if you view the screen at an angle.

Who it is suitable for

This model is a logical choice if you need a basic monitor for office, studying, working from home, and multimedia, but want a smoother experience than standard 60 Hz. It is also suitable for casual gaming at FHD, without claims for professional e-sports. If you are looking for a monitor with very high brightness or full ergonomics with height adjustment, you may feel limitations here.

BenQ BL2490 combines a practical IPS panel, 100 Hz refresh rate, and basic but sufficient parameters for everyday work. It is a good option if you value the balance between price, smoothness, and normal picture without unnecessary extras.
