Works great, easy to calibrate, and my prints come out fantastic after editing on this. I haven't edited on anything in the top tier of photo editing monitors, but this is a fraction of the price and works fantastic.

This monitor works great with my Linux photo computer. When I do my photo processing I don't go cross-eyed from a too small monitor. The color rendition is excellent.

I do photography and this monitor was recommended by someone on YT for that purpose. This has such an amazing picture. It is color calibrated by professionals so if you have photos printed online what you see is what you will get back. You can also take a pic with your phone of the screen and won't see and the lines like you see with less expensive monitors. I was hesitant at first because I could spend a lot less for the same size at a retail store. Very happy I took a shot and spent the $500 for this one. Will be buying another one when I go to a duel monitor setup.

I bought this to along with my new 16? MacBook Pro. While I have not use it for editing in Lightroom, I really like this monitor. I have opened Lightroom to view several photos and I am very pleased with the quality of the images. I am thinking about buying another one so I have two monitors plus the laptop screen.

Excellent build and quality. Not using the stand it comes with but seems like a good build as well. Image is sharp and easy on the eyes. Wish it had a SDI connection but I would definitely recommend it.

So far it has been great! I calibrated it using my Spyder calibration device and I kept a close eye on the colors for color shifts and defects as it went through the process. Everything was flawless. There is some small 'blooming' of brightness in the very corners of the monitor but it is only noticeable when the screen is set to completely black. Otherwise I don't notice it and it doesn't effect my photo editing process at all. I am very happy I ended up deciding on this monitor.

The gold standard for color correction and grading, as far as I'm concerned. Calibrated perfectly out of the box, exceptional color and image, and ports galore. Connection via either HDMI or USB-C is superb--only the negligible difference can be noticed between the two. Easy to switch between color spaces (the ability to switch between RGB, sGRB and 709 is fantastic). Unbeatable for price point.

I thought this monitor was a dud at first. Turns out by default when you use HDMI it goes into 'limited color mode' and looks completely washed out. Once I turned that off in the nvidia control panel settings I was blown away by how good the colors looked. Had been trying to calibrate it and mess with the settings because it looked so poor before but with full color I left it on sRGB mode and it's been great. 4K resolution is huge for photo editing and video editing, and the colors are calibrated so it works very well. The eye care feature is actually my favorite, it says to give your eyes a rest every fifteen minutes or so and is a great reminder to take a break from work. I was annoyed that there was only a mini-displayport and HDMI connector included (rather than regular displayport) but HDMI works fine.

The setup only took about 10 minutes, and so far I haven't had any issues. As someone who has never purchased a Benq monitor I'm impressed with the quality for the price and would definitely buy from them again.

The fact that it came calibrated with a data sheet was a huge surprise and the reason that I will hopefully be purchasing another one soon

For the price tag of being under $500, this is a monitor I absolutely love! The color and design are fantastic and it’s weight is pretty light so it goes on my janky monitor arm. I wish that when connecting the Display port out, it would be an additional monitor, not just a mirror. Other than that, I’ve had the monitor for about a month and no regrets.

Designing photography products is made easier with this screen due to the vibrant colors and high resolution. The stand is sturdy and sufficient to hold the massive screen. When the monitor is off, there is an orange glow from the power button. Doesn’t affect me since the screen is in the office, but may affect some people. Adorama shipped the product quickly and efficiently.

I purchased three of the BenQ PD2700U monitors and all I can say is that they are simply fantastic for my needs. I do web development and some video. Out of the box the three monitors were color matched so closely I could not tell a difference. Also watching 4K content on YouTube and other websites, these monitors are amazing. The build quality of the monitors is very good and solid construction. I also like the thin bezel design on the sides. Makes for great viewing with the monitors side by side. You will not be disappointed with these.

Great monitor. Missing some key features for color accuracy but a good mid level pro monitor. If you need accurate dcip3, stepping up to a monitor that offers it is about double the cost. For 4K, accurate srgb/rec709, great stand, hdr, and pip...it’s great for the price.
