Overview
Ergonomics are the reason to choose the 23.8-inch BenQ BL2490T over the otherwise similar BL2490. Both use the same Full HD IPS panel, 100 Hz refresh, 250 cd/m² brightness, 1300:1 contrast, 99% sRGB, dual HDMI 1.4 inputs and DisplayPort 1.2. The BL2490T adds 110 mm height adjustment and ±20° swivel, making it easier to align on a long-term office desk, though it still does not pivot. Two 2W speakers and BenQ's eye-care, ePaper and Coding modes cover routine business use. Connectivity remains basic: there is no USB-C, USB hub or Ethernet. The panel is also modest for bright rooms and offers no HDR support. Buy it if you want the BL2490's simple 100 Hz office panel with a much better stand; skip it if you need docking, portrait rotation or a sharper-than-Full-HD workspace.

HDR & Brightness Reality
The BL2490T has no HDR support, and its specifications clearly favour office comfort. Brightness is 250 cd/m², contrast is 1300:1 and colour coverage is 99% sRGB, with no local dimming or peak-brightness claim. Those figures are adequate for documents, coding and calls under controlled lighting. Buyers should value the adjustable stand, 100 Hz refresh and eye-care modes rather than expecting cinematic contrast or HDR highlights.

Frequently Asked Questions
01 Why choose the BenQ BL2490T instead of the BL2490? +
The display panel and ports are the same, but the BL2490T adds 110 mm height adjustment and ±20° swivel. That makes it much easier to position correctly.
02 What ergonomic feature is still missing from the BL2490T? +
The stand does not pivot into portrait orientation. A 100 x 100 mm VESA arm is needed for vertical use.
03 How suitable is the BL2490T for bright-window offices? +
Its 250 cd/m² brightness is adequate in controlled lighting but limited against strong glare. The matte coating helps, but it cannot create extra output.
04 Does the BL2490T provide any docking features? +
No, it offers two HDMI inputs, DisplayPort and audio out only. There is no USB-C, USB hub or Ethernet.
05 What does the 100 Hz refresh improve during office work? +
It makes scrolling, pointer movement and interface animation look smoother than at 60 Hz. The change is visible even without gaming.
