Benq GW2790QT Coding Monitor, 27 Inch (68.58 Cm)

The BenQ GW2790QT is a 27-inch QHD monitor shaped around long hours of reading and writing code. Its IPS panel delivers 2560 by 1440 resolution at a 75 Hz refresh rate, with 99 percent sRGB coverage, 350 nits typical brightness and a dedicated Coding Mode that adjusts contrast and colour balance for text-heavy editors and terminals. Around that panel BenQ builds a complete desk workstation: USB-C with 65 W Power Delivery and DisplayPort Alt Mode, a USB hub, DisplayPort output for daisy chaining, noise-filter speakers, a noise-cancelling microphone and a full ergonomic stand, all backed by BenQ Eye-Care technologies for extended sessions.

Key features

• USB-C with 65 W Power Delivery, DisplayPort Alt Mode and data
• 99 percent sRGB colour gamut with 16.7 million colours
• Brightness Intelligence Gen2, Low Blue Light Plus and flicker-free backlight
• Height, tilt, swivel and pivot stand with DisplayPort-out daisy chain support

QHD clarity for dense code

At 27 inches, QHD resolution gives a pixel density of 109 PPI, so monospaced fonts render with clean edges and more lines of code fit on screen than on a Full HD display of the same size, with less horizontal scrolling through wide files and log output. The IPS panel holds 178-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angles, and the 1000:1 native contrast ratio keeps dark editor themes legible. Colour modes include Coding, Care mode, ePaper, Game, M-Book, Movie, Standard and User, so the same screen can move from an IDE to document review or media without separate calibration for everyday work. The anti-glare coating helps in bright rooms and shared offices.

Eye care for long sessions

BenQ positions this monitor for people who read screens all day, and the eye-care stack reflects that. Brightness Intelligence Gen2 senses ambient light and adjusts brightness and colour temperature automatically. Low Blue Light Plus reduces harmful blue light while preserving colour accuracy better than a simple software filter, and the flicker-free backlight removes the rapid pulsing that can contribute to fatigue. ePaper mode simulates a paper-like presentation for long documents, Color Weakness mode adjusts red and green perception for affected users, and an Eye Reminder function can prompt regular breaks. The monitor carries TUV certification for flicker-free and low blue light performance and meets Energy Star 8.0, TCO 9.0 and EPEAT Bronze requirements.

One-cable desk and daisy chaining

A single USB-C cable can carry the picture, USB data and up to 65 W of charging power to a compatible laptop, which removes a separate power brick from the desk for most ultrabooks used for development. Alongside USB-C the monitor provides one HDMI 1.4 input, one DisplayPort 1.2 input and a DisplayPort output with MST for daisy chaining a second monitor from the same host connection. Three USB 3.2 downstream ports plus a downstream USB-C port turn the monitor into the hub for keyboard, mouse and storage. Built-in 2 W by 2 W noise-filter speakers and a noise-cancelling microphone cover calls and stand-ups without extra hardware, and a headphone jack is provided for private listening.

Ergonomics and build

The stand adjusts in height and offers tilt, swivel and 90-degree pivot, so the panel can be turned to portrait for reading long functions, documentation or chat threads vertically. A 100 by 100 mm VESA pattern supports monitor arms and wall mounting where desk space is tight. With the stand the monitor measures 534.3 by 614.0 by 238.5 mm and weighs 8.4 kg. Power supply is built in, rated at 100 to 240 V, with normal consumption around 20 W and sleep consumption below 0.5 W, while maximum consumption is rated at 150 W when USB power delivery and hub loads are included.

For developers, technical writers and analysts who want one screen that handles code, calls and laptop charging together, the GW2790QT combines the relevant parts in a single, carefully specified package.
