Overview

Extra vertical space is the main appeal of the BenQ GW2381, a 22.5-inch IPS monitor with a 1920 × 1200 resolution and a 16:10 shape. The 100 ppi density keeps text crisp, and the 76 Hz refresh rate is a little smoother than a standard 60 Hz screen. Brightness is 250 nits with 1000:1 contrast. HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2 are fitted, along with two 1 W speakers. The stand tilts only, and the monitor weighs 3.9 kg. It suits a tidy home office or a school desk.

  • 22.5-inch IPS, 1920 × 1200, 100 ppi
  • 76 Hz refresh rate, 5 ms response
  • 1000:1 contrast, 250 nits, 8-bit
