BenQ GW2490T 23.8" Full HD 100Hz Home Office Monitor
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
BenQ GW2490T 23.8" Full HD Home Office Monitor (GW2490T) - 3 Year Local Warranty
The Standard 24-Inch Deployment Screen, With a Proper Stand
Twenty-four inches at Full HD is still the default desk screen across most Singapore offices, and the GW2490T is the version of it that does not need an aftermarket arm. The stand gives 110 mm of height travel, tilt from -5° to 20°, 20° swivel each way and a full 90° pivot into portrait. The panel is a 23.8-inch IPS at 1920 x 1080, which works out to 93 pixels per inch — dense enough for crisp text at 100% scaling, with 99% sRGB coverage and 1300:1 native contrast.
100Hz Refresh on an Office Panel
Refresh runs at 100Hz rather than the 60Hz still common at this price, so scrolling through long spreadsheets, documents and web applications is visibly smoother. Response time is 5 ms grey-to-grey and VESA MediaSync keeps video playback free of tearing, which matters more than you would expect on a screen that spends part of its day in a Teams call. Brightness is 250 nits typical with 16.7 million colours and 178° viewing angles in both directions, so a colleague leaning in still sees an accurate image.
Portrait Rotation and Two Units Per Desk
At 540 mm wide, two GW2490T units sit comfortably side by side on a standard 1400 mm desk — the usual dual-screen layout for finance, operations and service-desk roles. The 90° pivot also lets one be rotated as a dedicated document or log screen; in portrait the unit stands 589 mm tall and 343 mm wide. Without the base it weighs 3.5 kg, light enough for any gas-spring arm if you would rather mount both on a single dual bracket using the 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern.
Certified Eye-Care and Low Running Cost
The panel is flicker-free with hardware Low Blue Light and Brightness Intelligence Gen2, which trims brightness as ambient office lighting changes rather than holding a fixed level into the evening. ePaper mode gives high-contrast monochrome for long reading, Colour Weakness mode assists staff with colour vision deficiency, and Eye Reminder prompts breaks. TÜV Rheinland certifies it for Eye Comfort 2.0, EyeSafe 2.0, Flicker-free and Low Blue Light. Typical draw is 20 W, with Energy Star 8.0, TCO Certified 9.0 and EPEAT Bronze for tender paperwork.

Compatibility & Installation
Mounting and orientation
The supplied stand gives 110 mm of height travel, -5° to 20° tilt, 20° swivel each way and a full 90° pivot into portrait. The panel uses the standard 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern and weighs 3.5 kg without the base, so it suits single arms and dual brackets equally. At 540 mm wide, two units fit side by side on a standard 1400 mm desk. Rotated into portrait the unit stands 589 mm tall.
What it connects to
Two HDMI 1.4 inputs and one DisplayPort 1.2 input let you attach three sources at once without a switch — for example a docked laptop on DisplayPort with a desktop and a thin client on HDMI. All three carry the full 1920 x 1080 at 100Hz, and HDCP 1.4 is supported. There is no USB-C on this model; if single-cable laptop docking is the requirement, the GW2486TC is the same panel size with a 65 W USB-C port.
Audio
Built-in 2 W stereo speakers and a headphone jack handle Teams and Zoom audio at desk volume. There is no built-in microphone on this model, so staff who spend much of the day on calls should be issued a headset or a USB-C model with a noise-cancelling mic.
Management and green procurement
BenQ's Eye-CareU utility sets Brightness Intelligence behaviour, break reminders and low blue light from the desktop rather than the on-screen menu — the practical way to hold one configuration across a floor of identical units. For tender documentation, the GW2490T carries Energy Star 8.0, TCO Certified 9.0 and EPEAT Bronze, at a typical draw of 20 W.

Frequently Asked Questions — BenQ GW2490T
What does the "T" in GW2490T mean?
In BenQ's GW naming, T indicates the ergonomic height-adjustable stand. The plain GW2490 is the same 23.8-inch Full HD panel on a tilt-only base. A C suffix adds USB-C connectivity and a Q indicates QHD resolution.
How much does the stand adjust?
110 mm of height travel, tilt from -5° to 20°, 20° swivel each way and a full 90° pivot into portrait — the range most workplace ergonomics assessments ask for, without an aftermarket arm.
Will two of them fit on a standard desk?
Yes. Each unit is 540 mm wide, so a pair sits comfortably on a 1400 mm desk with room for a keyboard tray. At 3.5 kg without the base they also work on a dual-monitor arm using the 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern if you want the desk surface back.
Can I rotate it into portrait?
Yes, the stand pivots a full 90°. Rotated, the unit stands 589 mm tall and 343 mm wide, which fits an A4 page vertically at readable size — useful as a dedicated document, log or code screen beside a landscape primary.
Does it have USB-C for single-cable laptop docking?
No. Inputs are two HDMI 1.4 and one DisplayPort 1.2. For USB-C carrying video, data and 65 W of charge over one cable, the GW2486TC is the same size with that port.
How does it differ from the 27-inch GW2790T?
Same resolution, refresh rate, stand travel and eye-care feature set. The difference is physical size and density: this 23.8-inch model is 93 PPI, the GW2790T is 27 inches at 82 PPI. Choose 23.8 inches for dual-screen desks and denser text, 27 inches for a single larger primary.
What eye-care certifications does it carry?
TÜV Rheinland certifies it for Eye Comfort 2.0, EyeSafe 2.0, Flicker-free and Low Blue Light (Hardware Solution), alongside Brightness Intelligence Gen2 ambient adaptation, ePaper reading mode, Colour Weakness assistance and Eye Reminder break prompts.
Does it come with a Singapore warranty and a GST invoice?
Yes. Every BenQ GW2490T sold by SourceIT comes with the BenQ Singapore 3 Year Local Warranty and a GST invoice.
