Overview
The BenQ GW2486TC is a 23.8-inch IPS display that doubles as a laptop dock, thanks to 65 W USB-C power delivery. It offers Full HD resolution, 92 ppi pixel density, 250 nits typical brightness, 1000:1 static contrast and 99% sRGB coverage. The panel refreshes at 48–100 Hz and quotes 5 ms response. Inputs include 1× HDMI 1.4, 1× DisplayPort 1.2, USB-C 65 W and 2× USB-A. The stand offers 130 mm of height adjustment and swivel. 2 × 2 W speakers are built in, and it weighs 6.2 kg with the stand. It suits laptop users who want one-cable docking at the desk. The main trade-off: Full HD on 23.8 inches (92 ppi) is less sharp than QHD or 4K panels.
