Overview
The BenQ GW2791 is a 27-inch IPS display with a 1920 × 1080 panel, kept simple for daily work. 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 and 1× DisplayPort 1.2. The stand tilts only. There are no speakers, and it weighs 4.13 kg with the stand. It suits everyday office, study and home use. The main trade-off: 81 ppi at 27 inches makes text look softer than on sharper panels.
