The BenQ GW2270H, possibly the best photo editing monitor and maybe one of the best computer monitors, features a full HD screen with a speedy refresh rate and a solid response time. This low blue light 21.5-inch monitor boasts a dynamic contrast ratio and flicker-free technology, giving you possibly the best business monitor choice out there.

Why We Like It – BenQ GW2270H

The BenQ GW2270H has a high pixel resolution and fast response time. This low blue light 21.5 inch monitor boasts a dynamic contrast ratio and flicker-free technology. Pretty decent viewing angles for a smaller monitor.

Pros
  • Affordable
  • High aspect ratio
  • Energy star rated
Cons
  • Frame feels wobbly

Performance

The performance of this “second room” monitor gives you high bit color and a bright panel type VA screen, while you can appreciate the high pixel resolution and fast response time, like the Asus Designo Curve MX38VC. The energy star rated, low power consumption, is a pleasant surprise for this LED-backlit display.

Viewing Angle

Pretty decent viewing angles for a smaller monitor that can be used for a second office space or entertainment room. Although the screen has a smaller size, you still can enjoy the 5 MS response time picture from multiple points in your space, much like with the BenQ SW2700PT.

Durability

Although the frame and stand feel a bit shaky and on the plastic cheap side, the price you’re paying for this 21.5 inch monitor is low enough for you not to really worry about it. Like the BenQ SW321C PhotoVue, it can be knocked around a bit or even mounted which shouldn’t affect the quality picture.

Ports/Expandability

Standard VGA HDMI ports allow you some expandability options for this monitor. Add some decent speakers or other smart devices to use this as a central hub of control. Going to get enough expansion opportunities here.

Value

What can be said about a monitor like this when it comes to price? You’re getting solid features for a low rate. Shipping is a bit on the high side for this one but you could add a fairly cheap three-year protection plan to enhance your incentives to give this one a try.
