BenQ GW2490 24" Computer Monitor 100Hz FHD 1920x1080p IPS Eye-Care Tech VESA Mount Thin Bezel Low Blue Light Adaptive Brightness Wall Mount Built-in Speakers DisplayPort HDMI Port2

Bottom line: The BenQ GW2490 24" Computer Monitor 100Hz FHD 1920x1080p IPS Eye-Care ($99.99 on Amazon as of 2026-10-06): 100Hz refresh rate smooths desktop scrolling and casual gaming versus standard 60Hz panels; main trade-off: 1920x1080 on a 24-inch IPS panel looks coarse next to 1440p at this size.

Mike Perry — Hardware researcher since 2014. For projectors, gaming displays and video upscalers, synthesises manufacturer specs against measured reviews (ProjectorCentral, RTINGS), treating non-ANSI "lumen" figures as marketing claims rather than first-hand lab testing. Core beat: GPU performance across gaming, rendering, and local-LLM inference. How we check display specs →
