The BenQ GW2486TC is a 23.8-inch Full HD IPS monitor offering a smooth 100 Hz refresh rate and comprehensive USB-C docking with eye-care technologies. Its 1080p resolution and modest 250 nits brightness limit sharpness and visibility in bright environments. Ideal for home-office and coding tasks.
The HP Series 3 27-inch FHD monitor delivers a smooth 100 Hz experience, IPS color accuracy and FreeSync support, making it a solid budget option for office work and casual gaming.

Professional reviewers position the HP 327pf as a solid value proposition, highlighting its sharp FHD panel, 100 Hz refresh rate and slim design while noting the trade-offs of modest brightness, lack of HDR and a basic stand. The monitor is praised for delivering smooth motion and decent color coverage for its price, but editors caution that power users seeking higher contrast, wider color gamut or more ergonomic flexibility may look elsewhere.
Everyday users generally like the monitor's easy setup, clear 1080p picture and fluid 100 Hz performance for light gaming and office work. Recurring complaints focus on the low brightness in bright rooms, a wobbling tilt-only stand, and the absence of built-in speakers or extensive connectivity.
