About this product
The BenQ GW2791 is a 27-inch Full HD IPS monitor with a 100Hz refresh rate, 1300:1 contrast ratio, and 5ms response time. It offers multiple connectivity options including HDMI and DisplayPort, plus a headphone jack. Designed for gaming and casual computing, it has a 16:9 aspect ratio and 1920x1080 resolution. Priced at $181.35, it's a slightly higher-end variant of the base model.
Our take
I upgraded to the GW2791 for its better contrast ratio and the same 100Hz speed. The 1300:1 contrast makes blacks deeper than typical IPS, which improves movie watching and gaming. The 5ms response is okay for most games, but I notice minor ghosting in fast-paced shooters. The headphone jack is convenient for late-night sessions. Build quality is decent, but the stand could be more adjustable. Overall, it's a good balance of price and performance for a secondary or budget gaming monitor.
