Score: 62/100
BenQ GW2486TC
Score: 82/100Rankings
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 Sceptre C275W-1920RN is a 27-inch curved VA monitor offering 100 Hz refresh and full sRGB coverage, making it suitable for immersive media and casual gaming. However, its 8 ms response time and lack of adaptive sync limit its appeal for competitive gamers. Best for budget-conscious users who prioritize curvature and color over high-speed performance.

Professional reviewers commend the Sceptre C275W-1920RN for its affordable immersion, strong VA contrast and full sRGB coverage, positioning it as a solid budget choice for media and casual gaming, but they consistently point out its low pixel density, sluggish response time, and lack of adaptive sync as drawbacks that prevent it from satisfying competitive gamers or color-critical users.
Everyday users generally like the monitor's curved design, vibrant colors and built-in blue-light filter, noting good value for the price, yet they commonly complain about fuzzy text, ghosting, washed-out blacks and the short power cable, indicating mixed satisfaction depending on usage priorities.
Professional sources such as CDW and BenQ's own product brief praise the GW2486TC for its vibrant 1300:1 contrast, smooth 100 Hz motion, and comprehensive ergonomics. Reviewers highlight the unique Coding Mode and Brightness Intelligence Gen2 as differentiators that enhance productivity and eye comfort in a home-office environment.
Direct consumer reviews are not present in the data, but product pages and vendor descriptions suggest users appreciate the single‑cable USB‑C docking, extensive adjustability, and eye‑care features, while no recurring complaints are documented.
