Overview

The BenQ GW2786TC is a 27-inch IPS monitor built around single-cable laptop setups, with 65 W of USB-C power delivery. It offers Full HD resolution, 81 ppi pixel density, 250 nits typical brightness, 1300:1 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 7.9 kg with the stand. It suits laptop users who want one-cable docking at the desk. The main trade-off: 81 ppi at 27 inches makes text look softer than on sharper panels.
