BenQ GW2491 23.8-Inch 100Hz FHD IPS Eye-Care Monitor

BenQ GW2491 overview

The BenQ GW2491 is a 23.8-inch Full HD eye-care monitor designed for everyday desktop use, study, office work and casual entertainment. BenQ’s official specification identifies an IPS panel, 1920 × 1080 resolution, 100Hz refresh rate and 5ms gray-to-gray response time. The 16:9 screen uses a matte finish and is specified at 250 nits typical brightness, 1300:1 native contrast and 99% sRGB color gamut. This gives buyers a clear, compact display format for common desktop applications without suggesting professional factory calibration or high dynamic range. The model name is GW2491; do not confuse it with similarly named GW2490, GW2490T, GW2491P or larger GW2791 products. The local catalog’s existing product identity, URL slug, category, variant, SKU, MSRP, status and image records remain attached to this exact item.

Panel, resolution and image characteristics

The 23.8-inch diagonal corresponds to 60.452 cm in BenQ’s regional specification. Its 1920 × 1080 resolution uses a 16:9 aspect ratio and approximately 93 pixels per inch. At normal desktop viewing distance, this format balances readable interface text with broad compatibility for office PCs, laptops, video playback and mainstream games. The IPS panel is rated for 178°/178° viewing angles at the manufacturer’s contrast criterion of CR ≥10. BenQ lists a matte screen coating, LED backlight and 16.7 million display colors. The stated 99% sRGB gamut is useful when comparing basic display capability, but it does not certify factory calibration, color accuracy tolerance or suitability for print-critical grading. Actual image appearance depends on source content, operating system scaling, color profile, ambient light and individual display settings.

100Hz motion, response and gaming compatibility

BenQ specifies a 100Hz refresh rate and 5ms GtG response time. A 100Hz panel can refresh more often than a 60Hz monitor when the computer delivers compatible frames, which can make pointer movement, scrolling and supported games appear smoother. The monitor also includes BenQ AMA pixel overdrive. The 5ms GtG value is the official response figure; it should not be rewritten as 1ms or treated as a universal transition time under every overdrive setting. The specification reviewed does not list variable refresh rate, AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-SYNC support. One Bangladesh listing explicitly says FreeSync/G-Sync are not supported. For buyers who require tear-free variable refresh or competitive gaming features, confirm exact compatibility with BenQ and the retailer before purchase. HDMI/DisplayPort capabilities, computer output and cable quality also affect available display modes.

Eye-care controls and color modes

BenQ lists Flicker-free Technology, Low Blue Light and ePaper support. The specification page also lists TÜV EyeSafe 2.0, Flicker-free and hardware Low Blue Light certification, along with Eye-CareU software. These are documented product functions and certifications; they should not be presented as medical protection or a guarantee against eye fatigue. The OSD provides Standard, Game, ePaper, Coding and Cinema color modes. ePaper is intended for a paper-like reading appearance, while Coding provides a distinct display preset for text-heavy work. Users can still adjust brightness for room conditions and should take normal breaks during long sessions. The official manual describes on-screen controls and the Low Blue Light Plus setting. BenQ’s visual-care tools are relevant for students and office users who spend long periods reading, browsing or editing documents.

Connections, audio and power

The official specification lists one HDMI 1.4 input, one DisplayPort 1.2 input, HDCP 1.4 and a headphone jack. The monitor is not listed with integrated speakers, so external speakers or headphones are needed for audio. BenQ’s regional page lists a built-in power supply, 100–240V input, 17W normal consumption, 22W maximum and less than 0.5W in sleep mode. Its datasheet differs slightly, reporting 20W normal and less than 0.5W standby; regional specifications or document revisions can account for such differences. This catalog uses the current official page figures while recording the datasheet discrepancy for transparency. BenQ lists an HDMI cable as a regional signal cable, and the datasheet describes a 1.5m HDMI cable and power cord in the box. Package contents may vary by market, so verify included cables with the local seller.

Stand, VESA mounting and physical fit

The supplied stand supports tilt from -5° down to +20° up. BenQ does not list stand height adjustment, swivel or portrait pivot. If the monitor needs a different height or viewing position, a riser or compatible arm may be required. The rear uses a 100 × 100 mm VESA mounting pattern. The official manual describes a separately purchased wall-mount kit and four M4 × 10 mm screws; users should follow the bracket manufacturer’s instructions and ensure the wall or desk arm supports the monitor safely. The monitor measures 416 × 542 × 182 mm (height × width × depth) with the base and 318 × 542 × 48 mm without the base. Its net weight is 3.06 kg with base and 2.67 kg without base. Check desk depth, cable clearance and mount capacity before installation.

Bangladesh warranty, availability and model checks

Bangladesh retailers identify the GW2491 as a BenQ monitor and commonly list a three-year warranty. Warranty duration, provider, service location, eligibility and required documentation are local sales terms rather than a universal promise for every imported unit. Confirm the warranty issuer and invoice details at purchase. External Bangladesh listings observed during this audit ranged roughly from ৳13,500 to ৳15,999, depending on seller and offer timing. Those prices describe other retailers and do not indicate BiponiBD’s own selling price, stock or discount. Inspect the carton and rear label to confirm GW2491 rather than a similar GW2490/GW2791 family model. The official India specification names China as country of origin, but the country field for this catalog unit remains dependent on the actual product label and shipment batch.

Who the GW2491 suits

The BenQ GW2491 suits a compact desktop setup where Full HD resolution, an IPS viewing experience, a 100Hz refresh rate and BenQ eye-care presets are priorities. It can serve study, coding, routine office applications, web browsing and casual gaming. Its standard HDMI and DisplayPort inputs simplify connection to many desktop PCs and laptops, and the headphone jack accommodates private listening. Choose another model if you need QHD or 4K resolution, integrated speakers, a height-adjustable stand, a documented variable refresh feature, a higher refresh rate or a verified 1ms response claim. Before buying, match the exact model code, confirm the included cables, and ask the local seller to document the warranty issuer and service terms. The specifications in this description prioritize BenQ’s exact-model documentation and disclose the small power-consumption variation between its official product page and datasheet.
