5 Reasons Why BenQ has the Best Monitor for Programming

We all agree that a computer monitor is a key to enhancing working efficiency, especially for software developers who need to work long hours. In recent years, more and more companies have adopted hybrid working, resulting in many developers needing to buy monitors at home for their work. Here are five tips for choosing a monitor for programming.

1. Coding Mode Enhances Productivity for Programming

Many software developers often use IDE (Integrated Development Environment) in the dark mode because they believe it can help them relieve eye strain and focus more on work, especially when they are in dime surroundings.

BenQ's product development team studied user behavior by interviewing several programmers and released an exclusive coding mode that optimizes the contrast and saturation of dark mode, which programmers most frequently use to improve their productivity. As a result, their working efficiency can be significantly enhanced, and eye comfort is ensured during coding.

2. View Additional Content in Vertical Monitor

There are many benefits of working with a portrait monitor, and they all boil down to one thing – more space. Turning their view 90 degrees, developers can see more lines of code. Programmers will say their portrait monitors can display an increase of 150% to 180% times of lines by flipping their monitor, which increases productivity. Not just for coding, as long as viewing long, narrow content on a portrait monitor cuts out the unused space and enables you to concentrate on your content.

3. Ideal for Programming in Dual Monitors

Programmers often need dual monitors to fulfill their needs with long working hours and having to open multiple windows simultaneously. BenQ’s monitors for programmers are perfect for this setup with USB-C and daisy chain to easily connect 2 to 4 monitors.

Combined with BenQ’s multi-functional monitor stands, personalized dual screen setups could be achieved to meet all your preferences and needs.

4. Height Adjustable Monitor for Comfy Programming

BenQ GW85TC/GW90QT monitors come with a range of customizable features, including height adjustment, tilt, pivot, and swivel options, making it easy to tailor your viewing experience. Furthermore, these monitors are thoughtfully designed to allow for rotation to either side, giving you the flexibility to position the vertical screen on either the left or the right, depending on your personal preference.

5. Reduce Eyes Strain with Eye-Care Monitor for Coding

As the leading brand in Eye-Care monitors, BenQ’s monitors feature trustworthy Eye-Care technologies like Brightness Intelligence, Low Blue Light Plus, Flicker Free, and Color Weakness mode. As a result, using an Eye-Care monitor can effectively mitigate the ocular discomfort caused by long hours of coding.

Brightness Intelligence (B.I.) is BenQ’s proprietary technology that uses built-in sensors to detect ambient lighting and automatically adjusts the screen’s brightness accordingly to ensure optimal working conditions when working from home.

In addition, BenQ was the first manufacturer that released Eye-Care computer monitors with Low Blue Light and Flicker-Free globally, which are widely adopted nowadays. Hence, no doubt, BenQ has the most matured technology to relieve your eye strain.

For people who have color vision deficiency, BenQ monitors support color weakness mode can help them distinguish differently colored codes with more relative ease.

BenQ Eye-Care history

BenQ Eye-CareU software is an integrated software developed by BenQ that blends software and hardware solutions for your most comfortable viewing experience. It allows you to adjust all Eye-Care features easily with a simple click and set timers or get a notification when there’s insufficient ambient lighting. With Eye-CareU, making setting adjustments has never been easier.

Bonus: Perfect Monitor Light Bar for Home Office Setup

When working long hours at your desk, the significance of suitable lighting in your laptop workstation setup cannot be overstated—it's as crucial as selecting the right monitor.
