Be Aware of Screen Brightness

Screen light may cause fatigue to our eyes without us noticing. BenQ Brightness Intelligence Tech (B.I. Tech) can detect surrounding light and adjust brightness automatically to safeguard all family members’ eye health. With a simple on/off switch, there’s no need to manually adjust brightness anymore!

Exclusive Brightness Intelligence Technology (B.I. Tech.)

The light sensor detects ambient light and the brightness and contrast of screen content. Then, it adapts brightness and enhances dark areas on your display without overexposing bright regions. Brightness Intelligence is a smart feature for your display.

Height Adjustable Monitor

BenQ’s Height Adjustment Stand ensures the best viewing angle for maximum comfort with an extensive range of monitor adjustments – height, tilt, pivot, and swivel. Everyone in the family can easily adjust the monitor height and viewing angle when taking turns using the monitor.

Reduce Blue Light Exposure for Better Sleep Quality

The blue light emitted from digital devices can lower the production of melatonin. This affects our sleep quality, which is closely related to the productivity at work and learning efficiency at school the next day. The GW2780T with Low Blue Light Technology filters out harmful blue light for both good sleep quality and eye health.

Flicker-Free Makes for Better Viewing Comfort

Studying or working all day can really tire our eyes out, and when we have to stare at a screen, especially a laptop, and do assignments at home, the screen flickering can put extra stress on our eyes, causing excessive blinking and frequent rubbing of the eyes. The GW2780T with Flicker-Free Technology can effectively diminish eye fatigue and irritation for better viewing comfort and working efficiency.

Study with Real Color

Scientific research shows that congenital color vision deficiency affects 8% of males and 0.5% of females. For children who like creating art, color weakness might likely affect their color recognition and interest in art learning.

Digital Learning is an Inevitable Trend

Children at an early age, especially middle school students, spend more time on laptops or tablets with a short viewing distance or in dim light. These are the main reasons that cause short-sightedness. Though laptops and tablets are convenient and highly portable, they are not suitable for doing research or creating content because a small-sized display is bad for eyes and bone growth.

Parents and Children Enjoy Learning Together

Most parents are willing to accompany their children through their learning process. The GW2780T with a wide viewing angle makes it easier for both parents and children to enjoy the fun of learning together.

TÜV Rheinland Certification

BenQ Eye-Care Monitors are certified by TUV Rheinland, a global leader in technical and safety certification, for Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light performance that truly benefits human vision. As the first brand of Eye-Care monitors in the world, BenQ is committed to safeguarding vision health at the forefront of viewing comfort and enjoyment with this permanent addition to its monitor product line.
