FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Triple Eye Protection?

The Triple Eye Protection, which includes Visual Optimizer, Low Blue Light, and Flicker-Free technology, significantly reduces eye strain and fatigue during prolonged use, making the monitor more comfortable for extended work or viewing sessions.

Is this monitor suitable for professional gaming?

The 144Hz refresh rate offers smoother motion than standard monitors, making it good for casual gaming. However, professional esports players often require higher refresh rates (240Hz or more) for competitive play.

How do I access the monitor's settings?

You can adjust the monitor's settings using the physical buttons typically located on the bottom or back of the monitor, which will bring up the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.

What does 99% sRGB mean?

99% sRGB refers to the monitor's ability to display 99% of the colors within the sRGB color space. This indicates a high level of color accuracy, suitable for tasks where true-to-life colors are important, such as web design and photo editing.

Can I use this monitor with a laptop?

Yes, the BenQ GW2490CE is compatible with most laptops that have standard video output ports like HDMI or DisplayPort. You will need the appropriate cable to connect your laptop.

How should I clean the monitor screen?

Always power off and unplug the monitor first. Use a soft, lint-free cloth, slightly dampened with water or a dedicated screen cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or spraying liquid directly onto the screen.

Troubleshooting

Monitor does not power on

Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the monitor and a working power outlet. Try a different power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on.

No image displayed on screen

Verify that the video cable is securely connected to both the monitor and the computer. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor. Restart both the monitor and the computer.

Screen flickering or distorted image

Check the video cable for damage and ensure it is properly seated. Try a different video cable. Lower the display resolution or refresh rate in your computer's display settings. Update your graphics card drivers.

Colors appear inaccurate

Adjust the color settings through the monitor's OSD menu. Ensure the correct color profile is selected in your operating system. For precise color work, consider using a calibration device.
