BenQ GW2450

The BenQ GW series brings VA (Vertical Alignment) panel technology to the company's consumer line of desktop displays. Quality-wise, VA technology falls somewhere in between IPS (In Plane Switching) and TN (Twisted Nematic) panel technology; they offer...

Affordable. Rich color reproduction. Great contrast ratio. Energy efficient

No HDMI port. Stingy feature set. Weak dark grayscale performance

The BenQ GW2450 is a reasonably-priced 24-inch monitor based on VA (Vertical Alignment) panel technology. It offers robust colors and deep blacks but is short on features.

BENQ GW2450

BENQ GW2450

BenQ has been a leader in panel technology for monitors and it shows on the BenQ GW2450. The VA panel technology gives you better color reproduction than the common TN panels. The high contrast ratios will help the colors really pop, and the variety of...

The BenQ GW2450 uses VA panel technology instead of TN

The height on the screen cannot be adjusted, it can only be tilted, but there is the option of mounting it on the wall

The screen specs are superb and BenQ has managed to make this monitor's response time much faster than typical VA panels.

Fantastic Monitor!

This monitor has an amazing color and contrast range - much better than competing models that cost a lot more. No dead pixels, no backlight bleed. I use this one for editing work in PhotoShop. It replaced an older IBM LCD model. For awhile, I had this...

great product

I really love this product. It is very simple, out of the box ready, and really enjoyable once setup. The instant recognition of the great quality of this display is worth the price.

The Best Picture Quality of Any Monitor Available

I consider myself a videophile who is obsessed with picture quality, and even though the reviews were great for this monitor I was extremely hesitant to buy a monitor that cost only $170. I wasn't sure if the picture quality of this monitor could match...

The best picture quality of any monitor in any price range. The deepest blacks of any TV or monitor I have ever seen. Great side viewing angles. Ridiculously low price for the picture quality

While the side viewing angles are great, the vertical viewing angles are not as good. The screen becomes dominated by whites and hard to read when it is viewed from an extreme upward angle (>60 degrees). The bezels are thick and reflective. The...
