Specifications are taken from BenQ's published product data for this model. Where BenQ does not publish a figure for this exact model it has been left out rather than estimated.

Mounting and orientation

The supplied stand covers the full range of ergonomic adjustment: 130 mm of height travel, -5° to 20° tilt, 45° swivel each way and a 90° pivot into portrait. Portrait mode is genuinely useful for document review and code. If you prefer an arm, the panel uses the standard 100 x 100 mm VESA pattern and weighs 4.9 kg without the base. In portrait the unit stands 666.2 mm tall, so check overhead clearance under low shelving.

USB-C laptop docking

The USB-C port carries DisplayPort Alt Mode video, USB data and 65 W of Power Delivery simultaneously. Any laptop whose USB-C port supports DisplayPort Alt Mode — which covers most current business notebooks and MacBooks — will drive the screen, charge and reach the monitor's USB hub over one cable. Machines that draw more than 65 W under sustained load, such as mobile workstations with discrete graphics, will charge more slowly and should keep their own power supply for heavy work.

Daisy chaining a second monitor

DisplayPort out with Multi-Stream Transport lets you run a second display from the GW2786TC rather than from the laptop. Connect the notebook to the monitor over USB-C, then a DisplayPort cable from the monitor's DP out to the second screen. MST behaviour depends on the host graphics driver, so confirm support on your laptop fleet before standardising on a two-screen daisy chain.

What else it connects to

One HDMI 1.4 input and one DisplayPort 1.2 input handle desktops, thin clients or a meeting-room source alongside the USB-C laptop. Two downstream USB Type-A ports at USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) serve a keyboard, mouse or external drive, with 4.5 W available for charging a phone. Firmware can be updated over USB, and BenQ's Display QuicKit and Eye-CareU utilities configure the monitor from the desktop.

What do the letters "TC" mean in GW2786TC?

In BenQ's GW naming, T indicates the ergonomic height-adjustable stand and C indicates USB-C connectivity. So a TC model has both: the full-motion stand and a USB-C port carrying video, data and power over one cable.

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 mobile workstation or a 16-inch laptop with discrete graphics draws more than 65 W when working hard, so it will charge slowly or hold steady rather than gain charge — keep its own adapter for heavy tasks.

How does the daisy chain work, and what do I need?

The GW2786TC has DisplayPort out with MST. Connect your laptop to the monitor by USB-C, then run a DisplayPort cable from the monitor's DP out to a second screen, and the desktop extends across both. MST support depends on your laptop's graphics driver, so verify it on one machine before rolling it out across a fleet.

Does it have a microphone for video calls?

Yes. BenQ specifies a built-in microphone with noise cancellation on this model, along with 2 W stereo speakers and a headphone jack. That makes it a self-contained endpoint for Teams or Zoom without issuing a separate headset.

Can I rotate it into portrait?

Yes, the stand pivots a full 90°, along with 130 mm of height travel, 45° swivel each way and -5° to 20° tilt. In portrait the unit measures 666.2 mm tall, so check the clearance under any overhead shelving first.

How does it differ from the 23.8-inch GW2486TC?

They are the same monitor in two sizes with the same 1920 x 1080 resolution, 100Hz refresh, 65 W USB-C and ergonomic stand. The GW2486TC is 23.8 inches at 93 PPI, so text is slightly denser; the GW2786TC is 27 inches at 82 PPI, giving physically larger text at the same desktop area. The 27-inch model also adds a second HDMI-era difference in stand travel and carries the same noise-cancelling microphone.

Is Full HD enough at 27 inches?

At 82 PPI, text is larger but less crisp than on a QHD panel of the same size. For data entry, browser work and line-of-business applications it is perfectly comfortable and often preferred because nothing needs scaling. If you want more desktop area and sharper text at 27 inches, the GW2790Q is the QHD alternative.

Does it come with a Singapore warranty and a GST invoice?

Yes. Every BenQ GW2786TC sold by SourceIT comes with the BenQ Singapore 3 Year Local Warranty and a GST invoice.
