Singapore has been dubbed one of the “strongest champions” of hybrid work, with over 90% of employers offering flexible work arrangements. To cater to the growing demand for a comfortable and productive work-from-home setup, global display and digital lifestyle device innovator BenQ has launched its new GW90 Series monitors.
The series comprises 27- and 32-inch 2K QHD monitors, the GW2790QT and GW3290QT, respectively. These monitors are designed to maximize efficiency for any task, facilitate easy switching between devices and work activities, and enhance the work-from-home experience. They feature an ergonomic design, USB-C data transfer and charging, an integrated USB-hub connection, and a unique coding mode to enhance the efficiency of programming work and visual comfort.
GW90 Series monitors help personalize modern hybrid-working lifestyles. Their USB-C architecture simplifies multitasking productivity in traditional workspaces, at home, or even on the go. Additionally, the GW90 series facilitates remote collaboration with noise-cancelling communication and promoting holistic well-being via eye-care and fun aesthetic functionality.

The monitors come equipped with pioneering BenQ Eye-Care innovations, including TUV Rheinland-certified Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light Technologies, Brightness Intelligence Gen2, and colour weakness mode compensation. They also have simulated e-paper reading mode and are easily navigated with the BenQ Eye-CareU software, providing prolonged vision health protection.
In exclusive coding mode, users can increase their productivity and visual comfort by optimizing the contrast and saturation of dark mode. This mode is particularly useful for software developers, who can benefit from the distinguishable shades of colour that help them focus more on their work and relieve eye strain.
The GW2790QT and GW3290QT monitors provide height adjustability and pivot rotation to arrange vertical screen viewing for easy coding and multiple daisy-chained monitors in comfortable productivity-enhancing orientations. They also have an integrated USB hub and comprehensive HDMI, DisplayPort, USB, and audio ports for fast switching between peripherals and smart devices.
In addition, the monitors come with an optional GC01 base cover kit that enables users to organize their desktop devices, cables, and office materials neatly. This kit includes two base cover inserts: a light grey cover with grooves and niches for smartphones, cables, pens, and office paraphernalia, and a green studded platform for setting up fun building blocks and brick figures.
The BenQ GW90 Series monitors promote better physical and mental health through ergonomic designs to enhance today’s busy lifestyles, reduce clutter, and facilitate easy switching between work and leisure.
BenQ GW90 Series is available for purchase at $479 and $639 for the 27-inch and 32-inch monitors, respectively and $29 for the base cover. The GW90 Series is available on Shopee and Lazada from 1 March onwards.
