BenQ GW2270 review

The most obvious omission is the lack of any height adjustment in the stand. As a result, you’ll have to resort to a monitor arm, desk stand or a stack of books to set it at your ideal height. It does have a 100 x 100mm VESA mount for attaching to various mounts, though.

All you do get in the way of adjustment is some forward and back tilt, so you’ll at least be able to get the screen perpendicular to your line of sight. Not surprisingly, there’s no means of pivoting the display into a portrait orientation either.

Another sign of cost saving is that the screen itself isn’t finished in a hard-wearing plastic. Instead its surface is fairly flexible and so it’s easy to press in and make the liquid crystal beneath distort.

However, this isn’t of huge concern since these screens are designed to cope with some gentle distortion. For a monitor that will be used in an environment that’s more challenging than your typical clean and tidy office, you may want to look elsewhere.
