With over 9 in 10 employers in Singapore allowing flexible work arrangements, the nation has been labelled as one of the "strongest champions" of hybrid work. In the new era of workplace flexibility, BenQ seeks to provide hybrid employees and desk workers with a comfortable and productive set up to improve the work-from-home experience.

"GW90 Series monitors help personalise modern hybrid-working lifestyles," said Conway Lee, President of BenQ Corporation. "Their USB-C architecture simplifies multitasking productivity in traditional workspaces, at home, or even on the go. Software developers can benefit from specialized coding mode to ensure eye comfort and enhance work efficiency. Additionally, GW90 series facilitates remote collaboration with noise-cancelling communication and promoting holistic well-being via eye-care and fun aesthetic functionality."

In exclusive coding mode, users can see an increased productivity of programming work and visual comfort by optimizing the contrast and saturation of dark mode. With distinguishable shades of color, coding mode can support software developers to focus more on work and relieve eye strain in workspace or dime surroundings. Starting from previous version of GW85TC series, the coding mode has been well-received on Amazon and e-commerce platforms. Users have left numerous positive comments on coding mode, saying it reduces symptoms of eye strain and supports work for long hours.

Pioneering BenQ Eye-Care innovations including TUV Rheinland-certified Flicker-Free and Low Blue Light Technologies and Brightness Intelligence Gen2, which adds customizable settings to auto optimization of screen brightness. The color weakness mode compensation and simulated e-paper reading mode are also easily-navigated with BenQ Eye-CareU software for convenient and prolonged vision health protection.

Further promoting work-life balance and well-being, GW2790QT and GW3290QT provide height adjustability and pivot rotation to arrange vertical screen viewing for easy coding and multiple daisy-chained monitors in comfortable productivity-enhancing orientations.

Equipped with USB-C connection for data and video transmission and up to 65 watts of power delivery for charging laptops and phones, GW2790QT and GW3290QT monitors provide an integrated USB hub and comprehensive HDMI, DisplayPort, USB, and audio ports for fast switching between peripherals and smart devices. Integrated Noise Filter Speakers and Noise Cancellation Microphone ensure crystal-clear remote conferencing for added versatility and productivity.

Desktop devices, their cables, and office materials can be neatly organized using the optional GC01 base cover kit, which comes with two base cover inserts: a light grey cover with grooves and niches for smartphones, cables, pens, and office paraphernalia, and a green studded platform for setting up fun building blocks and brick figures.

Helping professionals reduce clutter and easily switch between work and leisure, BenQ GW90 Series monitors promote better physical and mental health through ergonomic designs to enhance today's busy lifestyles.

BenQ GW90 Series is available for purchase at $479 and $639 for the 27-inch and 32-inch monitors respectively and $29 for the base cover. The GW90 Series is available on Shopee and Lazada from 1 March onwards.
