About this product
The BenQ GW2791 is a 27-inch FHD IPS monitor with a 1920x1080 resolution and a 100Hz refresh rate. It features a 1300:1 contrast ratio, 5ms response time, and VESA mount compatibility. Connectivity includes one DisplayPort 1.2 and one HDMI 1.4 input, plus a headphone jack. With a 100Hz refresh rate, it offers smoother motion than standard 60Hz monitors, making it suitable for casual gaming and everyday use. The IPS panel provides good color reproduction and wide viewing angles.
Our take
The GW2791 hits a sweet spot for budget-conscious users who want smoother motion without breaking the bank. The 100Hz refresh rate is a noticeable upgrade from 60Hz, and the IPS panel gives decent colors for the price. The 1300:1 contrast ratio is better than many in this range, adding depth to dark scenes. However, the 5ms response time isn't the fastest, and the HDMI 1.4 port limits bandwidth. Overall, it's a solid all-rounder for office work and light gaming, but competitive gamers might prefer 1ms panels.
