BenQ BL2790TC, 27", IPS, 1920x1080, 100Hz, 99% sRGB, HDMI, DisplayPort, Speakers

BenQ BL2790TC is a 27-inch professional monitor, oriented towards work and daily use, but with a bonus – high refresh rate up to 144 Hz for smoother images. You get an IPS panel with true colors and wide viewing angles, plus 1920 x 1080 resolution, which is easy for any modern GPU. The built-in 2 x 2W speakers save you the need for separate speakers for office and multimedia. The combination of professional positioning and higher refresh rate makes it a good hybrid between work and light gaming.

What you get

In practice, this monitor gives you a large 27" working area with a classic 16:9 aspect ratio, convenient for both text and tables and video. The IPS panel and 178/178 degree viewing angles mean that colors remain stable, even when you are not looking directly in front – useful for screen sharing or teamwork. The brightness of 300 cd/m² is more than sufficient for a standard office with good visibility during the day, without having to keep it at maximum. With 144 Hz refresh rate and 5 ms response time, motion is noticeably smoother than 60 Hz, which is felt in both scrolling and animations, as well as in more dynamic games. And with DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB Type-C, you have flexible connectivity – from desktop and laptop to modern devices through a single cable.

Who it is suitable for

BL2790TC is a good choice if you are looking for a professional 27" monitor for office, home office, programming, or multimedia, but do not want to give up the smooth 144 Hz experience. It is also suitable for casual gaming at 1080p, especially if your GPU is not high-end. If you are engaged in critical color work or looking for a higher resolution (1440p, 4K), this may feel a bit basic.

The most sensible thing about this model is the combination of professional focus, 27" IPS panel, and 144 Hz, plus rich connectivity through DisplayPort, HDMI, and USB Type-C – a balanced monitor for daytime work and light gaming in the evening.
