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.
