BenQ GW2491 24" Black
The 100Hz refresh rate on its 23.8-inch IPS panel provides visibly smoother scrolling than standard 60Hz office displays, complemented by TUV-certified Eye-Care technology for flicker-free extended use. Its ultra-slim bezel design and VESA mount compatibility make it a practical, space-saving choice for clean multi-monitor setups. This monitor is best for office workers and students who spend long hours reading documents and spreadsheets and prioritize eye comfort over color-critical accuracy.
