High learning curve, but great monitor

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.

Good monitor, minus two pixels

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.

Great monitor

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.

Perfect photography monitor at a very reasonable cost.

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 Monitor

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.

BenQ SW2700PT

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.

Benq is a great monitor for working on pictures.

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.

Great monitor

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

Amateur Photography

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.

A huge step up in quality for just a few bucks more

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.

Perfect for Professional Photo and Video Editing

Oh my gosh... I have FINALLY found a reliable monitor that actually matches the colors it puts out! Super great quality, perfect size to relieve eye strain from my previous 24" Dell Ultrasharp that I've had for 7 years now. Definitely recommend!

Outstanding Color Accuracy and Resolution

2K QHD Monitor
With four times the resolution of Full HD displays, 2K QHD resolution delivers extraordinary clarity of fine details and textures for visually intensive work with the most perceptible quality in graphics, designs and photos that human eyes can see. Devoted to meet the latest professional color standard, BenQ has developed AQCOLOR technology to uphold the concept: Accurate Reproduction". BenQ has invited a color expert to lead the team and also actively participated in ICC (International Color Consortium) and ISO (International Standard Organization) to establish color-related standards and implementation.

Enrich Your Palette with 99% Adobe RGB
Fully visualize the true colors of nature. Adobe RGB color space offers a far greater range of color reproduction for shades of blue and green, resulting in dramatically more realistic color representation for outdoor and nature photography. With 10-bit panels producing over one billion colors for natural color transitions and subtle shading, SW2700PT guarantees the silkiest, smoothest gradations.

14-Bit 3D LUT and Delta E <= 2
The 14-bit 3D look up table (LUT) improves RGB color blending accuracy, resulting in impeccable color reproduction. Precise Delta E<=2 in both Adobe RGB and sRGB color spaces renders the truest and most representative view of the original image.

Hardware Calibration Produces Consistent Quality
Hardware calibration allows you to adjust the monitor's internal image processing chip without changing the graphics card output data, keeping displayed images consistent with the original content without being affected by graphic settings.

Palette Master Element Calibration Software Regulates Performance
By using Palette Master Element and a calibrator, you can tune and maintain the monitor's color performance at its most optimal state.

Professionally Factory Calibrated for Exacting Color Accuracy
Each BenQ Photographer Monitor is individually factory-calibrated upon production to assure precise Delta-E and Gamma performance. Achieving an average Delta E<=2 in both Adobe RGB & sRGB color spaces, calibration results are validated against industry color standards to deliver the truest and most representative view of original content.

Simple, Functional Design for Increased Efficiency

Advanced Black & White Mode
View your photos in a black and white film effect. Preview your photos in three different black and white presets before performing actual adjustments in your photo processing program.

Hotkey Puck
Hotkey Puck lets you switch between Adobe RGB, sRGB and Black & White modes effortlessly. The buttons can also be customized to map other modes or OSD settings, such as brightness and contrast to bring added convenience to photographers.

Shading Hood
The SW2700PT includes a detachable shading hood that effectively reduces screen glare from ambient lighting, ensuring superb color accuracy required for professional work.

Industry-Leading Eye-Care Technology
BenQ exclusive eye-care technologies reduce eye fatigue for user comfort, enhanced productivity and workplace safety during extended use.
