Monitor BenQ GW2490, 24" IPS QHD, 100Hz, HDMI, DP

BenQ GW2490 is a 24" IPS monitor for general use, aimed at everyday work, multimedia, and casual gaming. The combination of 24", 1920 x 1080 resolution, and IPS panel gives you a clear and pleasant picture with good text readability and accurate colors for this class. 100 Hz refresh rate is a noticeable upgrade over the standard 60 Hz and makes motion smoother – in browsing, scrolling, video, and games. Add to that 178/178 degree viewing angles, and you get a monitor that looks good both on a desk at home and in an office environment.

What you get

The IPS panel with 16.7 million colors and 1300:1 static contrast provides more vibrant and stable colors compared to older TN solutions, which is important if you often work with photos, videos, or just want interfaces to look good. Full HD resolution on 24" means pixel density that is comfortable for work without having to constantly play with scaling – text remains readable, and interfaces do not become too small. With 100 Hz, the image is more continuous during fast mouse movements and in dynamic scenes, while 5 ms response time is more than enough for casual and mid-level gaming without annoying blurring during normal use. The HDMI and DisplayPort inputs allow you to connect both a desktop computer and a laptop or console simultaneously, while VESA 100 x 100 mm opens the possibility to mount it on a stand or arm if you want a cleaner desk.

• 24" diagonal is a good balance between desk space and a large enough working area for work, movies, and games.
• 1920 x 1080 resolution is standard for gaming and office, easy to run even from budget GPUs without sacrificing low FPS.

• 100 Hz refresh rate makes motion smoother and more enjoyable compared to typical 60 Hz, which is felt in both Windows and games.
• 5 ms response time is suitable for everyday gaming, video, and multimedia without visible trails during normal use.
• Brightness 250 cd/m² is more than sufficient for indoor work, without blinding you with excessively bright light.

• 36 months warranty gives you peace of mind for the monitor for a long period.

Who it is suitable for

BenQ GW2490 is a good choice if you are looking for a 24" monitor for general use: office work, studying, home use, multimedia, and light gaming at 1080p with smoother motion thanks to 100 Hz. It is suitable for people who want an IPS picture and smooth scrolling but do not need a higher resolution or expensive “esports” features. If you are looking for an ultra-fast e-sports solution with maximum low latency and 240+ Hz, this is not the right model.

The combination of a 24" IPS panel, 1080p resolution, and 100 Hz makes it a practical, balanced monitor that works well in many scenarios without burdening your budget or hardware.
