BenQ GW2486TC 23.8" Full HD USB-C 100Hz Home Office Monitor
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BenQ GW2486TC 23.8" Full HD USB-C Home Office Monitor (GW2486TC) - 3 Year Local Warranty
23.8 Inches at 93 PPI — The Standard Issue Office Screen
Twenty-four inches remains the default deployment size for most Singapore offices, and the GW2486TC is BenQ's current take on it: a 23.8-inch IPS panel at 1920 x 1080, which works out to 93 pixels per inch. That is dense enough for crisp text at 100% scaling and small enough that two units fit comfortably side by side on a standard 1400 mm desk. Colour coverage is 99% sRGB with a 1300:1 native contrast ratio, and the panel refreshes at 100Hz rather than the usual 60Hz.
USB-C Docking with 65 W Power Delivery
The USB-C port carries DisplayPort Alt Mode video, USB data and 65 W of Power Delivery over one cable, so a docked ultrabook charges and drives the screen with no separate dock on the desk. Two downstream USB Type-A ports at USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds host a keyboard, mouse or external drive, with 4.5 W available for phone charging. For hot-desking floors and hybrid teams that plug and unplug several times a week, removing the dock from the desk removes the most common support ticket with it.
Daisy Chain and a Noise-Cancelling Microphone
DisplayPort out with Multi-Stream Transport lets a second screen run from this monitor rather than from the laptop, which matters on thin notebooks with one spare port. Alongside it sit one HDMI 1.4 and one DisplayPort 1.2 input for desktops or meeting-room sources. A built-in microphone with noise cancellation, 2 W stereo speakers and a headphone jack make the monitor a complete conferencing endpoint — useful at reception, in a shared meeting pod, or on any desk where a headset is not always to hand.
Full Ergonomic Stand and BenQ Eye-Care Certification
The stand gives 130 mm of height travel, tilt from -5° to 20°, 45° swivel each way and a 90° pivot into portrait, which suits document proofing and code review. Eye-care is the full BenQ set: flicker-free operation, Low Blue Light Plus, Brightness Intelligence Gen2 ambient adaptation, an ePaper reading mode and Colour Weakness assistance, certified by TÜV Rheinland for Eye Comfort, EyeSafe 2.0, Flicker-free and Low Blue Light. The matte coating handles the reflections that come with glass-walled offices.

Compatibility & Installation
Mounting and orientation
The supplied stand offers 130 mm of height travel, -5° to 20° tilt, 45° swivel each way and a full 90° pivot into portrait. For an arm or wall bracket the panel uses the standard 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern and weighs 3.8 kg without the base — light enough for any gas-spring arm and for dual-arm setups where two of these sit side by side. In portrait the unit stands 616.7 mm tall.
USB-C laptop docking
The USB-C port carries DisplayPort Alt Mode video, USB data and 65 W of Power Delivery at the same time. Any notebook whose USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode will drive the screen, charge and reach the monitor's USB hub over one cable. Mobile workstations that draw more than 65 W under load will charge slowly and should keep their own adapter for sustained heavy work.
Daisy chaining and other inputs
DisplayPort out with MST lets a second display run from this monitor instead of from the laptop — connect by USB-C to the first screen and DisplayPort from its DP out to the second. MST support depends on the host graphics driver, so verify it on one machine before standardising. One HDMI 1.4 input and one DisplayPort 1.2 input handle desktops and meeting-room sources alongside the USB-C laptop.
Audio, peripherals and management
A built-in noise-cancelling microphone, 2 W stereo speakers and a headphone jack cover Teams and Zoom without accessories. Two downstream USB Type-A ports at 5 Gbps serve the keyboard, mouse or a portable drive. Firmware updates over USB, and BenQ's Display QuicKit and Eye-CareU utilities let you set brightness behaviour, break reminders and low blue light from the desktop rather than the on-screen menu.

Frequently Asked Questions — BenQ GW2486TC
What do the letters "TC" mean in GW2486TC?
T indicates the ergonomic height-adjustable stand and C indicates USB-C connectivity. A TC model therefore has both: the full-motion stand with pivot, and a USB-C port carrying video, data and power over a single cable.
How does it differ from the older GW2485TC?
Both are 23.8-inch Full HD USB-C models in the same family. The GW2486TC is the current generation: BenQ specifies it at 100Hz refresh with 65 W USB-C Power Delivery, Low Blue Light Plus, an ePaper reading mode and a noise-cancelling microphone. The GW2485TC remains available if you are matching an existing fleet.
Will 65 W charge my laptop?
It is enough for most 13 to 14-inch business ultrabooks and MacBook Air class machines under normal office load. A 16-inch laptop or mobile workstation with discrete graphics draws more than 65 W when working hard, so it will charge slowly rather than gain charge quickly — keep its own adapter for heavy tasks.
Can I rotate it into portrait?
Yes. The stand pivots a full 90°, with 130 mm of height travel, 45° swivel each way and -5° to 20° tilt. In portrait the unit stands 616.7 mm tall, so check clearance under any overhead shelf.
What is the daisy chain for?
DisplayPort out with Multi-Stream Transport lets you run a second monitor from this one instead of from the laptop. That frees a port on a thin notebook and keeps a two-screen desk down to one cable at the laptop end. MST support depends on your graphics driver, so verify it on one machine first.
Should I choose this or the 27-inch GW2786TC?
Same resolution, refresh rate, USB-C wattage and stand — the difference is physical size and pixel density. This 23.8-inch model is 93 PPI, so text is denser and two units fit side by side on a standard desk. The GW2786TC is 27 inches at 82 PPI, which gives physically larger text for the same desktop area.
Does it have a microphone for video calls?
Yes. BenQ specifies a built-in microphone with noise cancellation on this model, alongside 2 W stereo speakers and a headphone jack — enough for Teams or Zoom without issuing a separate headset.
Does it come with a Singapore warranty and a GST invoice?
Yes. Every BenQ GW2486TC sold by SourceIT comes with the BenQ Singapore 3 Year Local Warranty and a GST invoice.
