Overview
The BenQ GW2790QT is a 27-inch IPS display that doubles as a laptop dock, thanks to 65 W USB-C power delivery. It offers QHD resolution, 108 ppi pixel density, 350 nits typical brightness, 1000:1 static contrast and 99% sRGB coverage. The panel refreshes at 48–75 Hz and quotes 5 ms response. Inputs include 1× HDMI 1.4, 1× DisplayPort 1.2, USB-C 65 W and 3× USB-A. The stand offers 110 mm of height adjustment and swivel. 2 × 2 W speakers are built in, and it weighs 8.4 kg with the stand. It suits laptop users who want one-cable docking at the desk. The main trade-off: 75 Hz limits smoothness in fast action.
