great moniter... difficulty in understanding how to set up, wish they had provided printed manual rather then having to read on the computer, meant that had to read information on my laptop and then go back to set up, I am computer challenged so that aspect was difficult. Otherwise, watching the videos that are provided on youtube are great. Still learning about the monitor. The learning curve is high, but can be done.

Great monitor, awesome sharpness, color, contrast, etc. as you would expect. However, it came with a stuck Red pixel and a dead (Black) pixel. :-/ Can workaround it and didn't want to risk a replacement being worse, but definitely disappointing as my Dell's never have dead pixels.

So far, I am very pleased with this monitor. It is clear, crisp, and the colors are great.

Purchased to have a hardware calibrated monitor for photo/video editing. The mechanics of the monitor are smooth with level adjustments and rotate to portrait style is great. Construction feels solid. Hood makes a big difference for consistency. The software calibrations in color spaces look great and hardware calibration was simple using Spyder X unit and palette master software. Ability to edit for various color spaces is priceless.

I took the chance of the switch to a new Mac Mini M1 to give myself a dedicated photography monitor. I can't be more happy. Besides the more inches moving from 21.5" to 27", the color rendition is now much better and I can do a more accurate job post processing my pictures. The little mouse to switch color mode, the additional two USB 3.0 ports and the SD card reader are other plus.

Nice screen, 2K is adequate and perhaps even preferred for editing photos IMO, although I may wish I had gone for 4K for video and other media at some point but just couldn’t justify the cost right now. Very nicely constructed though and the included hood is handy as well.

I bought this monitor to replace my Apple Cinema Display monitor. It is heads and shoulder above the Apple monitor. What I see on screen is what my photos look like. I spent a lot of time researching monitors, and I couldn't have gotten a better monitor . It's quality of build and quality of the images on screen belay the very reasonable price.

My BENQ is excellent for all the editing needs. Great color and easy on eyes for those long eye straining compositing and retouching jobs. It could be a compositor's best friend. I would recommend this product.

Best monitor for photographers on a budget. 2K (2.5 actually) is perfect for stills and no need for a magnifier

I noticed something that I never pay attention closely to the detail of the pictures. I thought most of the pictures that I took were sharped and good enough to use. Wtih this monitor, BenQ SW 2700PT, I noticed most of my pictures are not as sharped as I originally thought. This help me to change the way that I will take the pictures in the future on DOF since i love to shoot the lanscaping.

Crisp, clear and perfect color out of the box. I ran Spyder XPro when I received the monitor and the AdobeRGB matches the original color tuning by BenQ. The side screens are a tremendous help, and one I did not anticipate. Had they not been included as part of the original price, I would have bought them. Now, I will never be without them. This unit is so well engineered that there is a sliding opening in the top shade cover to allow the Spyder calibration device to lower directly into place. With Covid19 mandating staying inside, I will have a lot more time using and experimenting with PhotoShop and this monitor. My photos will now have the opportunity to look the best they can be, but alas, only within my abilities.
