27-Inch 2K QHD Display for More Workspace

The 27-inch IPS display features a 2560 × 1440 QHD resolution, providing significantly more workspace and detail than a standard Full HD monitor.

The additional pixels allow users to view more content on screen while maintaining sharp text and detailed visuals.

The QHD resolution is particularly useful for:

• Office applications
• Programming
• Coding
• Spreadsheets
• Document editing
• Web browsing
• Presentations
• Content creation
• Photo viewing
• Multitasking

For professionals who regularly work with multiple windows, the 27-inch QHD display provides a practical balance between workspace and desktop size.

109 PPI for Sharp Text & Detailed Content

The GW2790QT provides a 109 PPI pixel density, helping text, icons, images, and interface elements appear sharp and clearly defined.

Higher pixel density is particularly beneficial for users who spend significant time reading or working with detailed content.

For programmers, this can help make lines of code and development interfaces easier to view. For office users, documents and spreadsheets can appear crisp and well defined.

IPS Technology with 178° Viewing Angles

The monitor uses IPS panel technology, providing consistent image quality across the screen.

With 178° horizontal and 178° vertical viewing angles, content remains clearly visible even when viewed from different positions.

This makes the GW2790QT suitable for:

• Individual workstations
• Collaborative work
• Presentations
• Home offices
• Classrooms
• Shared workspaces
• Multi-user environments

The wide viewing angles are especially useful when multiple people need to view the display simultaneously.

99% sRGB Colour Coverage

The GW2790QT supports 99% sRGB colour coverage, providing vibrant and natural-looking colours for everyday digital content.

sRGB is widely used for websites, office applications, digital images, presentations, and general multimedia.

The monitor is therefore suitable for users who need dependable colour reproduction without requiring a dedicated professional colour-grading monitor.

350 Nits Brightness

With 350 nits typical brightness, the GW2790QT provides clear visuals in typical indoor work environments.

The brightness level is suitable for:

• Offices
• Home offices
• Study rooms
• Workstations
• Classrooms
• General indoor environments

Combined with the matte display coating, the brightness helps provide a clear viewing experience across different everyday working conditions.

1000:1 Native Contrast Ratio

The GW2790QT offers a 1000:1 native contrast ratio, helping create visible separation between darker and brighter areas of the image.

This is useful for everyday productivity, browsing, multimedia, coding environments, and general content consumption.

The combination of IPS technology, QHD resolution, and 1000:1 contrast provides balanced image quality for both professional and personal use.

USB-C Connectivity with 65W Power Delivery

One of the key advantages of the GW2790QT is its USB-C connectivity with 65W Power Delivery.

A compatible laptop can connect to the monitor using a single USB-C cable for supported display, data, and power functions.

This simplifies the workspace by reducing the number of cables required on the desk.

The 65W Power Delivery can help keep compatible laptops charged during everyday work sessions.

This makes the monitor particularly suitable for:

• USB-C laptops
• MacBook users
• Windows notebooks
• Work-from-home setups
• Hybrid workstations
• Mobile professionals
• Modern office environments

Integrated USB Hub for Added Convenience

The GW2790QT includes an integrated USB hub, providing convenient access to downstream connectivity.

Instead of reaching behind a desktop PC or laptop to connect accessories, compatible devices can be connected through the monitor.

This is useful for:

• USB peripherals
• Smartphones
• Storage devices
• Keyboards
• Mice
• Other compatible accessories

The downstream ports can also provide convenient data and power access for compatible devices.

One-Cable Laptop Workspace

The GW2790QT is designed to make laptop-based workstations more convenient.

A compatible laptop can connect to the monitor using USB-C, allowing the display to become a central part of the workstation.

This can reduce cable clutter and make it easier to switch between mobile and desktop working environments.

For hybrid workers, freelancers, programmers, designers, and business professionals, this provides a cleaner and more organized workspace.

Daisy Chain for Multi-Monitor Productivity

The GW2790QT supports daisy chaining for compatible multi-monitor setups.

Daisy chaining allows users to connect multiple compatible displays in sequence, helping expand available screen space without requiring separate display connections for every monitor.

A multi-monitor setup can be useful for:

• Software development
• Financial analysis
• Content creation
• Research
• Business productivity
• Video editing
• Data analysis
• Multitasking

The additional screen area allows users to keep more applications visible at the same time.

Pivot Rotation for Vertical Workflows

The monitor supports pivot rotation, making it possible to use the display vertically in compatible setups.

Vertical orientation can be particularly useful for:

• Programming
• Long documents
• Web development
• Reading
• Social media management
• Coding
• Document review

When combined with a multi-monitor setup, pivot rotation allows users to customise each screen according to their workflow.

Coding Mode for Better Code Readability

The GW2790QT includes a dedicated Coding Mode designed for developers and programmers.

Coding Mode optimizes contrast and colour saturation to make content within dark coding environments easier to distinguish.

This can be useful when working with:

• Code editors
• Integrated development environments
• Terminal windows
• Development tools
• Command-line interfaces
• Dark-themed applications

For developers who spend several hours reading code, a dedicated coding display mode can make it easier to customize the viewing experience.

Monitor for Programmers & Developers

The GW2790QT’s combination of QHD resolution, 27-inch screen size, Coding Mode, USB-C connectivity, and multi-monitor support makes it particularly suitable for programming.

A developer can use the additional QHD workspace to keep:

Code Editor + Browser + Terminal + Documentation

visible simultaneously.

This reduces the need to repeatedly switch between windows and can make multitasking more efficient.

M-Book Mode for MacBook Workflows

The GW2790QT includes M-Book Mode, designed to minimize visual differences between the monitor and compatible MacBook displays.

This can provide a more consistent viewing experience when moving between the MacBook’s built-in display and the external monitor.

The feature is useful for MacBook users who want to extend their workspace while maintaining a familiar display appearance.

MacBook-Friendly Productivity Setup

For users working with a MacBook, the GW2790QT can function as a larger external workspace.

The combination of:

• USB-C connectivity

• 99% sRGB
• 27-inch display

makes the monitor suitable for modern MacBook productivity setups.

It can be used for office applications, programming, web design, content creation, research, and general professional work.
