BenQ GW2790QT Vs. Dell P2723DE - Feedback & Recommendations Please

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice from the TE community on choosing a new monitor for my workspace, and I’d love to hear your real-world experiences!

I’ve narrowed it down to two 27-inch, 1440p IPS monitors: the BenQ GW2790QT and the Dell P2723DE. Both tick all my must-haves: QHD resolution, USB-C (with power delivery for charging my laptop), daisy-chaining support (DisplayPort Out), and built-in USB hub. I’m mainly working from home, so good ergonomics, eye comfort, and reliable build quality matter a lot.

Here’s why I’m split:

The BenQ GW2790QT has some nice extras like built-in speakers, a mic, and “eye care” features for eye strain. It seems a bit cheaper as well, and I’ve seen positive reviews.

The Dell P2723DE offers higher USB-C charging power (90W vs 65W, which could matter if you run a power-hungry laptop), plus a wired LAN (Ethernet) port, which is rare and handy. Dell’s support reputation is solid, but the price is higher.

Would love to hear if anyone is using either of these as their daily driver:

*How’s the panel quality (brightness, colors, viewing angles)?
*Are the USB-C and USB hubs reliable for laptops and accessories?
*Any quirks, firmware issues, or annoyances?
*If you’ve dealt with BenQ or Dell warranty/service in India, how was your experience?
*For those running Mac or mixed setups: any compatibility issues?
*If you use the speakers/mic on the BenQ, are they good enough for calls?

Open to any pros, cons, or “wish I’d known this before buying” advice!

Thanks in advance for your suggestions and honest feedback. It’ll really help me (and others!) make a well-informed choice.

Two reasons

  1. I need a displayport out for daisy chaining, as I plan on having a multi-monitor setup down the line
  2. 27” 4K seems to suffer for pixel density issues and rendering windows fonts/text sharply.

I am holding off on the 4K upgrade until MiniLED or OLED prices become more normalized. Staged upgrades :slight_smile:

I’ve used the Dell one at my work and I was quite impressed by the quality of it.

Personally at home, I use Lenovo P27h. I also had similar requirements as you but ended up with this one after shortlisting similar ones.

I got it from Lenovo directly as it was much cheaper. This is the link in case you’re interested

You typically want more PPI and crisper text right which a 4K 27" would provide? Unless what you’re saying is with Windows’ fractional scaling, it looks odd.

If PD 90W is a priority, you can check out the BenQ designer series new model 2706qn.

From offline store you can get for approx 28k.

It is an upgrade to the gw series in most cases except autobrightness.
