BenQ GW2490C 23.8" FHD IPS Eye-Care Home Office Monitor — 1920×1080 | 144Hz | 5ms GtG | 1500:1 | 99% sRGB | USB-C DP Alt Mode | HDMI + DisplayPort | Built-in Speakers | AMD FreeSync | TÜV Flicker-Free | Low Blue Light+ | 3-Year Warranty

The BenQ GW2490C is built for home office users and students who connect a USB-C laptop or MacBook to their desktop monitor and want a single-cable video connection — the USB-C DP Alt Mode input transmits the laptop’s display signal over one cable without needing a separate HDMI or DisplayPort cable — alongside a 144Hz refresh rate for smoother everyday computing and casual gaming, AMD FreeSync for tear-free GPU sync, built-in speakers for video calls and media, and BenQ’s complete eye-care suite for all-day comfortable screen use.

The IPS panel at 23.8 inches delivers consistent colour, accurate 99% sRGB reproduction, and wide 178°/178° viewing angles — providing vivid, true-to-life colour for everyday web, document, photo, and video content from any viewing position. The 144Hz refresh rate provides the highest refresh rate in BenQ’s home office GW24-series lineup — delivering noticeably smoother scrolling, window dragging, video playback, and casual gaming compared to both 60Hz and 120Hz alternatives, reducing visual judder and fatigue during long daily computing sessions. The USB-C port with DisplayPort Alternate Mode transmits the full display signal from a compatible USB-C or Thunderbolt laptop or MacBook over a single USB-C cable — eliminating the need for a separate HDMI or DP cable and simplifying the desk setup for users who connect their laptop to the monitor daily. Note: the USB-C port does not support Power Delivery (laptop charging) — it carries video and data only. AMD FreeSync dynamically synchronises the monitor’s refresh rate with the GPU’s real-time frame output across the supported range — eliminating screen tearing and micro-stuttering during casual PC gaming on AMD Radeon and compatible NVIDIA GPU systems. The 1500:1 native contrast ratio delivers deeper blacks and greater image depth versus the 1300:1 contrast of the GW2490 predecessor — providing richer, more vivid image quality for multimedia, gaming, and general desktop use. Built-in 2W×2 stereo speakers provide clean integrated audio for video calls, media playback, and everyday desktop audio without needing a separate speaker. The 3.5mm headphone-out allows private listening by connecting headphones or a headset directly to the monitor. The internal power supply (no external AC adapter brick) reduces cable and device clutter on the desk versus monitors that use external power adapters. BenQ Flicker-Free DC dimming and TÜV Rheinland–certified Low Blue Light+ provide clinically validated protection against the two primary causes of digital eye strain — flickering backlighting and blue-light exposure — across all-day desk sessions. ePaper Mode, Care Mode, and Visual Optimizer (formerly B.I.+) provide additional comfort options for reading, extended work, and ambient brightness matching.
