27-inch 120Hz IPS Monitor

The BenQ GW2790P is a 27-inch flat-panel display built on an IPS panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. It targets office workers and casual users who want smoother motion than a standard 60Hz screen without moving to a high-end gaming panel. The 1920 x 1080 resolution and 99% sRGB coverage suit general productivity, web browsing and video playback.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous use the monitor draws 25 W in normal operation and peaks at 33 W, with sleep mode dropping below 0.5 W. The 1 ms MPRT response time is measured with the backlight strobing mode active, which reduces perceived blur during long sessions. Brightness stays at 250 cd/m² and the 1,500:1 contrast ratio remains stable across the 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles.

DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4 Limits

The single DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4 inputs both support the full 1920 x 1080 resolution at 120Hz. Higher refresh rates or resolutions beyond 1080p are not possible on either port. The stand offers tilt adjustment only; height, swivel and pivot require a separate VESA 100 x 100 mm mount. Buyers who need USB-C video, built-in KVM or a fully ergonomic stand should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

How much power does the GW2790P draw during an all-day session?

Normal operation uses 25 W and peaks at 33 W, while sleep drops below 0.5 W, so heat output stays modest for continuous use.

Which cables or adapters must I already have to connect the GW2790P?

You need a DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 1.4 cable matching your graphics output; the monitor includes no other video interfaces.

Will my older GPU with only HDMI 1.4 run the GW2790P at 120 Hz?

Yes, the HDMI 1.4 port supports the full 1920 x 1080 120 Hz signal, so legacy cards can drive the panel at its native refresh rate.
