27″ 2K QHD IPS Monitor for Work and Study

The BenQ GW2790Q is a 27-inch flat-panel display with a 2560 x 1440 resolution and 100 Hz refresh rate. Its IPS panel covers 99% sRGB and delivers 16.7 million colours at 350 cd/m² brightness with a 1,500:1 contrast ratio. The 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles keep colour consistent across the 16:9 screen.

Upgrade from Standard 60 Hz Panels

Moving from a typical 60 Hz office monitor to this 100 Hz model makes scrolling, window dragging and light gaming feel noticeably smoother. The jump is worth it if you spend long hours reading code or documents and want reduced motion blur without paying for high-end gaming refresh rates.

Check Video Outputs and Desk Space

Your computer must provide DisplayPort 1.2 or HDMI 2.0 to reach the full 2560 x 1440 at 100 Hz. Verify cable length suits your layout and that the monitor’s 41 W typical power draw fits your available outlet. No built-in speakers are listed, so plan for external audio if needed.
