Product Information
Full details
The BenQ BL2790 monitor is designed for professionals and general users seeking a comfortable and efficient visual experience, particularly for extended work sessions. Its key benefit lies in its advanced eye-care technologies, such as Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light Plus, coupled with a 100Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals. However, its market positioning as a business monitor means it may lack some advanced gaming-specific features like FreeSync or G-SYNC.

FAQs
What is the difference between Coding Mode and ePaper Mode?
Coding Mode is optimized for programming by enhancing contrast and saturation, especially for dark themes, to improve readability of code. ePaper Mode simulates an e-book display with clear black and white text, designed for comfortable long-duration reading with minimal eye strain.
Does this monitor support adaptive sync technologies like FreeSync or G-SYNC?
No, the BenQ BL2790 does not feature AMD FreeSync or NVIDIA G-SYNC support. It is primarily designed for business and productivity tasks rather than high-end gaming that requires adaptive sync.
How does Brightness Intelligence Technology work?
Brightness Intelligence (B.I.) Technology uses a sensor to detect ambient light levels and the intensity of on-screen content. It then automatically adjusts the screen's brightness and contrast to provide optimal viewing comfort and clarity, reducing eye strain.
Can I adjust the height of the monitor?
No, the BenQ BL2790 does not feature height adjustment. However, it does support tilt adjustment, allowing you to angle the screen from -5 to 20 degrees.
What is the pixel density of this monitor?
With a 27-inch screen and Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, the pixel density is approximately 82 pixels per inch (ppi). This is suitable for general use, but may appear less sharp than higher-resolution monitors for detailed text or graphics.
Is this monitor certified for eye safety?
Yes, the BenQ BL2790 is TÜV Rheinland certified for Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light Technology, and also holds Eyesafe 2.0 certification, indicating its commitment to reducing blue light exposure and protecting your vision.
What are the built-in speakers like?
The monitor includes two built-in speakers with a combined RMS rated power of 4W (2W x 2). These are suitable for basic audio notifications or casual media consumption, but for immersive sound, external speakers or headphones are recommended.
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 outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on.
No image displayed or signal error
Verify that the video cable (HDMI or DisplayPort) is securely connected to both the monitor and the computer. Ensure the correct input source is selected on the monitor using the control buttons. Try a different video cable or port on your computer.
Screen flickering or distorted image
Check the video cable for damage. Ensure the display resolution and refresh rate settings on your computer are compatible with the monitor (e.g., 1920x1080 at 100Hz). Update your graphics card drivers.
Colors appear washed out or incorrect
Adjust the color settings in the monitor's On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. Ensure the correct color profile is selected in your operating system's display settings. Verify the `sRGB` coverage is adequate for your needs.
Eye strain or discomfort after prolonged use
Ensure that Brightness Intelligence, Flicker-Free, and Low Blue Light technologies are enabled in the OSD settings. Adjust screen brightness and contrast to comfortable levels. Take regular breaks from viewing.
