Dude, I ordered the same monitor at the best price during the Amazon sale. And, surprisingly, I have the same dongle that I will be using with the MBK Air M1.
Can you specify how good picture quality is mainly the contrast ratio (blacks and whites) and brightness for watching dark scenes in movies, compare it to your MacBook Air. I want to buy it for my PS5 and laptop for movies and casual games.
Thanks for the review. I've been looking to buy a new monitor for home use after doing a lot of research online I find this monitor best for budget, comparing to other monitors at this price range it's a steal deal
Hey im planning to buy this as well rn. How has the lomg term usage with it been? would you still recommend buying this monitor? PS: I've a macbook air m1
Hey what's the maximum resolution that you're getting on this monitor? I have the same monitor and laptop but it can only go upto 1680x1050 while the supported maximum resolution is 1920*1080. What cable are you using?
@tamtonaquib I used a USB C to Display port cable earlier for my Mac M1. But it caused those issues so returned it. Got a USB 3-in-1 hub for HDMI and it works fine now
I would say 7, macbook has retina display this doesn’t but colour accuracy is good for the price. You can see the pixels but I think for the after 1-2 hours it would not even matter. You would understand how much relaxing it is to work on a big screen.
@@pratiktiwari9342 You are really a humble and awesome person. Being a person used 14 inch display laptop which is literally 12 year old for entire life till now. That's why questions are rising. Hope you got it.
See I haven't used the speakers in particular. But you would need to connect an external speaker for better audio. What I would suggest is test it out and if you don't find it the sound good enough just connect external speakers.
If you can wait a little more then wait for the EW2490 model, it is the same monitor but has much better speakers and powerful high-speed data transfer ports.
Bhai maine kal 27" m order kiya h, I have office macbook pro 16" , 27" FHD(gw2790) sahi rahega ya 24", Office work, reading, trading charts, because everyone says 27" we should go for atleast 2k resoultion.
dell monitors are expensive but they provide 5 years of premium warranty and they claim that if you got a single dead pixel we will going to replace the monitor or panel in 2-3 days. Note: if you buy from their exclusive website then you will get 5 years of warranty. cons with dell even if you are paying 10k for dell s2421hn its only comes with 75hz refresh rate that too bad for the price we are paying but after sales service is very good. and Benq after sales service is not that good lots of customers facing issue in their unit and the problem is that benq took so long time for the engineer visit, replacement. only one service centre in delhi with average reviews of 3 stars.
If you like to have a vertical display then no but if horizontal setup works this can do the job. But if you’re very much keep on display quality, go for the QT model
for reading documentations and coding , would this be a good choice? and one more main question if i have a 60 htz laptop, will it run 100htz in monitor if i extend it. please answer
For documentation and coding. I think it will do the job but if you are looking to use the monitor in vertical setup then you have to look for some other model
buy GW2480 INSTEAD, the older version of GW2490. I am using it for the past 2 years. Everything is the same except for the refresh rate from 60hz to 100hz, less power consumption, future-proof, more software support, and better speakers. if I were you, I would have purchased the newer model and got myself a VGA to HDMI port.
instead of ancer dongle, USB C to DisplayPort cable is better as it gives 100HZ this ancer dongle might be giving you just 30 or 60 HZ not more than it
I'm planning to buy this monitor and i think 24 inch 1080p is perfect for my requirements which wouldn't look as blurry as the 27 inch model with mac. Do the eye care features like blue light stuff gets disabled while using mbook mode? And what usb hub are you using. As a full stack developer i need a usb hub that can withstand 8 hours of workflows per day with this external monitor connected. Also wonder if you've ever faced battery drain issue with external monitor (without clamshell mode)
@@pratiktiwari9342 Do you charge your mac all the way to 100% (as there's no inbuilt feature in mac os to put a hard limit) in the clamshell mode? I got a GW2490 and I'm loving it, best budget monitor for mac
@@md_musharaf I'd say it's one of the best monitor for mac users and even for the non mac user due to it's built in auto brightness sensor and certified eye care panel. As someone who sits infront of his computer for long hours I've definitely noticed less eye strain issue in this monitor.
Bhai ek request hai, aap iska photo provide kar sakte ho black screen me full brightness par so that me bleeding issue dekh saku please sir. I would be a great help and I will also buy this from your affiliate link. Please sir. App image ka drive link de sakte ho
This is a FHD monitor and does not have bleeding issues. Generally bleeding issue happens in 2k or 4K more. But yeah if you really care about picture quality go for a higher resolution.
i am also searching monitor for my m1 air. similarly to you i am jumping between that 25K qt and this 1080 base models of BenQ. i literally convinced by 2k qt monitor because it has pivot mode for coders like me. but i read in some review that with the type C connection it charge the macbook but it also damage the type c port if we use it as power delivery. Hence i am skipping it. But now i am struggling between 24 and 27 inch base models. i am qurious to know why you had not gone for 27 inch because it just 11K. is there any trade off for that.
See if you are buying a FHD monitor go for 24inch because 27inch would more pixelated display. And especially for MacBooks 24inch FHD monitors give better ppi compared to 27inch
the monitor is v bad. the eye strain it gave me from using it for 30 mins made me return it. even at 0 brightness and ePaper mode the eye strain was so bad my eyes got watery. the hdmi cable is also not that good.
Dont Buy BenQ GW2490 🥵waste of money dont take it give lot of troubles(after 4days use only....yellow shadeon righside of monitor) service engineer come after 10day of service call log and he said this problem i report in job sheet but .no support benq im faceing replacement problem since june month till now no solution they asky silly qustions like {what is ur purpose ot this monitor} and deny replace ment you have call daily for your update

Super informative video. Is this monitor has audio output 3.5 jack? Tell about more features like, number of ports and other features.
It has 3.5mm jack 2 hdmi ports and one dp port
Yeah ports are limited but you can always buy a dongle in case you require more.
Hi pratik, can you clarify if the monitor is compatible with vesa stands?
In comparison to macbook display how much would rate it on the scale of 10. 10 means absolutely similar and 1 extremely pixelated and faded off
I would say 7, macbook has retina display this doesn’t but colour accuracy is good for the price. You can see the pixels but I think for the after 1-2 hours it would not even matter. You would understand how much relaxing it is to work on a big screen.

How is this monitor for photo and video editing? Please reply.
It has 99%sRGB, so it is a good choice for photo/video editing.
hello brother i am student and wanted to go for this monitor should i buy it ?
Thank you sir can you tell me which one should i buy lg 24ml600s or this one?
Both are good but if you are using MacBook go for this and one more thing this is 100hz and the latest in the market.
How is its inbuilt speakers? Enough for UA-cam video?
See I haven't used the speakers in particular. But you would need to connect an external speaker for better audio. What I would suggest is test it out and if you don't find it the sound good enough just connect external speakers.
@@pratiktiwari9342 he hasn't purchased them, just use your monitor speakers and tell everyone about the output. not everyone has external speakers.

How is it working now ? any issues ?
I'm also considering to buy it
Pls tell
It’s working fine…no issues as of now
What about picture quality
Dell vs benq which best for study reading & watching movies contents
It depends both companies are good
dell monitors are expensive but they provide 5 years of premium warranty and they claim that if you got a single dead pixel we will going to replace the monitor or panel in 2-3 days. Note: if you buy from their exclusive website then you will get 5 years of warranty.
cons with dell even if you are paying 10k for dell s2421hn its only comes with 75hz refresh rate that too bad for the price we are paying but after sales service is very good.
and Benq after sales service is not that good lots of customers facing issue in their unit and the problem is that benq took so long time for the engineer visit, replacement. only one service centre in delhi with average reviews of 3 stars.
From where you purchased this monitor?? Flipkart or Amazon?
Amazon
Hey how you have connected Mac with external monitor? Please share the link of the wire.
Through Anker dongle
Thanks Bro - Could you pls post a link of both the products (Monitor and dongle) ?
What is the height of the monitor with the stand?
Did you measure the sRGB percentage? it is said 99%, but is it above or below 99% in real measurement?
I don't know that
Even I am confused between Benq GW2790QT and this one. Its 3 times expensive than this one.
Is it good for coding purpose?
If you like to have a vertical display then no but if horizontal setup works this can do the job. But if you’re very much keep on display quality, go for the QT model
How's the built in speaker quality
Not good
for reading documentations and coding , would this be a good choice?
and one more main question if i have a 60 htz laptop, will it run 100htz in monitor if i extend it.
please answer
Yes, I think that would not be an issue
For documentation and coding. I think it will do the job but if you are looking to use the monitor in vertical setup then you have to look for some other model

How are you getting 100hz with that anker dongle? It supports 4k 30hz means the output should be only 60hz in 1080p

How to connect this monitor to a CPU which is having a VGA port only (no HDMI port available for my CPU). Please tell me.
You can use an adapter I guess
@@pratiktiwari9342 is there any difference between VGA to HDMI and HDMI to VGA adapters? Or both works the same?
buy GW2480 INSTEAD, the older version of GW2490. I am using it for the past 2 years. Everything is the same except for the refresh rate from 60hz to 100hz, less power consumption, future-proof, more software support, and better speakers.
if I were you, I would have purchased the newer model and got myself a VGA to HDMI port.
Im also buying a monitor. Acer/ benq?
Benq if you are going for basic but if you want gaming then I think you can find a good monitor from acer
instead of ancer dongle, USB C to DisplayPort cable is better as it gives 100HZ this ancer dongle might be giving you just 30 or 60 HZ not more than it
