Users Complain About
Best For
Office workers and remote professionals needing eye‑care features, students and researchers who read a lot on screen, casual gamers looking for smoother motion without high‑end GPU demands, multimedia viewers, and users building dual‑ or triple‑monitor setups.
Not Ideal For
Professional photo/video editors requiring higher resolution and wider color gamuts, hardcore gamers demanding 144 Hz+ refresh rates or premium G‑Sync/FreeSync, and users who need very high brightness for bright office spaces.
Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers note that the GW2790 punches above its weight with a 100 Hz panel, comprehensive Eye‑Care technologies, and a full suite of ergonomic adjustments rarely seen at this price point. They commend its 99% sRGB coverage and versatile color modes, positioning it as a solid all‑rounder for office, study, and light entertainment, while acknowledging that it lacks the higher resolutions and premium gaming features of more expensive models.
What Users Say
Everyday users appreciate the monitor’s comfort features, especially the ePaper mode and smooth 100 Hz scrolling, as well as the flexible stand and bezel‑less design for multi‑monitor rigs. Common complaints revolve around the modest pixel density, average brightness, modest built‑in speakers, and difficulty finding the unit at an attractive price.
Common Complaints
Low pixel density leading to less sharp text, underwhelming built‑in speaker quality, higher than expected price, moderate brightness for bright rooms, and a plastic‑feel construction.
What People Are Saying
“The ePaper mode is perfect for reading—makes the screen look like an e-ink display.”
“Swivel and height adjustment make it easy to set up in any workspace.”
“Love the 100 Hz—scrolling is so smooth, and games look better.”
“Bezel-less design is great for dual-monitor setup.”
“Text isn’t as sharp as on my old 24-inch 1080p—pixel density is low.”
“Speakers are okay for alerts, but not for music.”
“Pros: Easy to set up, great color modes, sturdy stand, multiple inputs. Really like the e-book desaturated color mode when my eyes get tired. Cons: Hard to find at a good price. Overall: Would recommend.”
How It Compares
vs. Dell P2723D
Advantages
Disadvantages
Choose Dell P2723D if you need a sharper 1440p display for professional work; choose BenQ GW2790 for eye‑comfort, higher refresh rate, and ergonomic flexibility at a lower cost.
vs. LG 27MP400-B
Advantages
Disadvantages
BenQ GW2790 is the better choice for users prioritizing comfort and smooth motion, while LG may appeal to those seeking a basic, possibly lower‑priced 1080p monitor.
vs. AOC 27B2H
Advantages
Disadvantages
For budget‑conscious buyers who only need basic 1080p output, AOC is an option, but the GW2790 offers far more features for a comparable price.
