23.8" BenQ GW2491
The BenQ GW2491 is a versatile 23.8" monitor designed for work, built on a combination of smooth visuals and advanced eye protection. It is based on a 23.8" IPS panel with a Full HD (1920 × 1080) resolution, which provides a sharp image for reading text and working with details at this screen size size. Compared to standard office screens, it offers a 100Hz refresh rate that makes everyday activities, such as scrolling web pages or working with documents, noticeably more pleasant. The panel, with 99% coverage of the sRGB colour space, delivers accurate and vivid colours, which is crucial not only for everyday use, but also for editing photos or watching videos. Thanks to a suite of Eye-Care technologies, including Eyesafe certification, this IPS monitor actively reduces eye strain during long work shifts.

Key Features of the 23.8" BenQ GW2491 Monitor
- Colour coverage reaches 99% of the sRGB space
- Flicker-free technology and a blue light filter protect your eyesight
- The stand supports tilting for a better viewing angle
- The monitor is ready for a VESA mount
- Connectivity options include DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4
True-to-Life Display with an IPS Panel
The image is based on an IPS panel with a 16:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. This technology offers wide viewing angles of 178° and accurate colour reproduction, which in this case is confirmed by 99% coverage of the sRGB spectrum. Colours are therefore consistent and vivid from almost any viewing angle. A contrast ratio of 1,300:1 provides deeper blacks and brighter whites compared to older panels. The 250 nits brightness is sufficient for working in normally lit rooms and the matte screen surface effectively reduces unwanted reflections from windows or artificial lighting.
Smooth Motion
This Full HD monitor offers a 100Hz refresh rate, which is a noticeable improvement over standard 60Hz or 75Hz screens. The higher frequency results in smoother motion rendering, which you'll appreciate not only when watching videos, but especially during daily work. Scrolling through documents and the web is smoother and less choppy. The 5ms (GtG) response time then reduces ghosting and blurring in fast-moving scenes, contributing to an overall sharper image perception.
Eye Protection with Technologies
The monitor integrates a suite of BenQ Eye-Care technologies to reduce eye strain during prolonged use. Flicker-free technology eliminates the invisible backlight flicker that is a common cause of headaches and burning eyes. A hardware-based blue light filter with Eyesafe certification reduces emissions of potentially harmful blue light in the 415–455nm range. Unlike software solutions, it maintains colour accuracy and does not cause a yellowish tint to the image. The monitor also includes an ePaper mode, which adjusts contrast and brightness to simulate reading from an e-reader, making it suitable for working with text.
Ergonomics and Flexibility
The monitor's stand allows for basic ergonomic adjustment, specifically tilting in the range of -5° to +20°. This helps the user find the right viewing angle. For more advanced mounting options, the monitor offers a VESA mount with a size of 100 × 100mm, which is used for mounting on a wall or on an adjustable arm.
Connectivity Options
For connecting to a computer or other devices, the monitor uses modern DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4 interfaces. Both interfaces support the full resolution and 100Hz refresh rate. It is also equipped with a 3.5mm output for connecting headphones for private listening.

Colour Coverage (Gamut)
Determines how accurately a monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for web, movies, or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB is appreciated by graphic designers or professionals. The higher the stated value, the better the monitor displays colours. Maximum Brightness
A value given in nits or cd/m² determines the brightness of the monitor. A brightness of over 400 nits is key for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while standard office monitors are fine with values over 250. Refresh Rate and Response Time
Refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the picture and the less eye strain. A lower response time (ms) eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
