Our take on the BenQ GW2291 FHD Eye-Care Monitor for Optimal Viewing
The BenQ GW2291 is a 21.5-inch Full HD monitor built around an IPS panel, so colors stay consistent when you view it off-angle. It runs at up to 100 Hz with a 5 ms gray-to-gray response, which is smoother than the 60 Hz office monitors it competes with. BenQ's eye-care features and built-in speakers make it a low-clutter pick for a desk used for documents, browsing and video. Against similarly sized rivals it trades a little brightness (250 cd/m²) for a faster refresh and height adjustment, which many budget 22-inch screens lack.
- IPS panel keeps colors stable from the side
- 100 Hz refresh is smoother than typical 60 Hz office screens
- Height adjustment lets you set a comfortable eye level
- Built-in speakers save desk space
- Full HD at 21.5 inches gives sharp text

Questions and answers
- Is the BenQ GW2291 good for gaming?
- It handles casual games with its 100 Hz refresh, but the 5 ms response and 60 Hz-class competition mean it is not aimed at fast shooters. For work and video it is fine.
- Does it have built-in speakers?
- Yes. The monitor has built-in speakers, so you can play audio without separate desk speakers.
- Can I adjust the height?
- Yes. The stand allows height adjustment, which is uncommon on budget 22-inch monitors and helps you line the screen up with your eyes.
- What ports does it have?
- It has an HDMI 1.4 input. There is no DisplayPort or USB-C, so check that your computer or dock outputs HDMI.
- Is a 21.5-inch 1080p screen sharp enough?
- Yes. At this size Full HD gives a high pixel density, so text looks crisp for documents and web pages.
- Is it good for a bright room?
- Brightness tops out at 250 cd/m², which is adequate indoors but can look dim near a sunlit window. A brighter panel suits very bright rooms better.
