Review Summary

First off they are quite sizeable. I have a 5'x3' work area with three monitors and since adding a couple of 27"(ers) they overhang on each end by about 6" each end however the screen size is perfect for that viewing distance. Anything larger would be absolutely wrong. The resolution of 2k is the sweet spot but you absolutely must adjust your font/icon sizes because even at only 2k it's just too small at 100%. The color reproduction is very good HOWEVER I was extremely surprised that, visually speaking, the color and "depth" on my HD Dell U2412m with only 75% srgb was nearly identical when profiled with my Xrite Color Munki but the image sharpness is noticeably better on the BenQ when editing images and video. If you're a pro photo or video editor looking to upgrade from an older HD monitor than this is an extremely solid choice at a reasonable price. All the cables you need come included as well!

It is what the information about it says it is. I am very happy with it so far. Great colors and my prints are close to what I see on the screen without even specific calibration. Nice.

Amazing monitor for graphic designers. Comparable to the MacBook Pro retina screens when it comes to clarity. Great monitor at an unbeatable price.

This is an amazing monitor despite the fact was released in 2016. This is my first 27" monitor and it goes head to head against the screen of an iMac at the workplace. It is bright, clear and sharp. One of the perks I like and uses often is the Display Pilot application which allows me to change into different viewing mode without touching the side buttons on the monitor. Speaking of the side buttons, these are poorly design buttons that can be frustrating at times that I had to feel each button to find the correct button which half of the time I missed. Despite the poorly placement of the buttons, this is a great monitor to stare at for a long period of time. I recommend to anyone who wants to save cash and okay with comprising an older monitor (USB 2.0 and mono speaker) that delivers amazing color and sharpness! Standard shipping delivered the monitor on-time. And this my first time purchasing an item from Adorama. I am pleased. And will be making more future purchases!

Fantastic monitor. I wish I had gone for the 4K version. as QHD is fine, but 4K would have provided a bit more clarity for what I do on a monitor of this size.

Fantastic monitor! It looks great and a perfect side by side display for my 27” iMac. Setting it up was so easy with all the different input options and only took a few minutes. The screen options make settings the picture the way you prefer are simple and the picture rivals my iMac 5K retina. Great buy and you will not regret it.

Best monitor I have ever had. Most of my work is photo editing in Light Room and this monitor has taken it to a new level. I save time because there is no need to keep zooming in and the calibration seems to be spot on. I have used a calibration program for years but when I turned this on everything looked great right out of the box. I may check it in a month or so but for now I am back to work. The looks is very sharp and it takes very little space. The adjustments for up/down and tilt are exceptionally quality and make it very easy to adjust to the perfect position. I would highly recommend this product and consider myself lucky to have found it.

Needed a 27", 1440p, IPS monitor for non-4K video editing. This is by far the best value I could find online. Obviously, the PD2700Q is not sleekest looking monitor, but the sub-$300 price tag is allowing me to overlook that. Otherwise, it ticks all the boxes.

Great 2K 27” monitor, with plenty of inputs. Height, angle... plenty of adjustability to suit every need. I found this display to be great for work (my main use), gaming and multimedia. I’ve used on both MacOS and Windows 10. And it”s a low energy consumption, which is a plus! The only drawbacks (hence, no 5 stars): the controls are on the back of the bezel, and that there’s no auto-input selection (you have to manually select the correct input).

So far I love this monitor. The goal was to make my retouching easier and that's exactly what it did. My old mac was giving me trouble and with this BenQ I'm able to have my final images look much closer across different devices. My only quibble would be that I wish I could adjust the height a bit higher but it works fine as is.

Needed a WFH display and this is just what I needed. Mulitple inputs, built in speaker, I used to use two displays in the workplace, now this 27 in in plenty for the work I need to do, spreadsheets, mail, several aps....and easy on the eyes.

Lo positivo. El envío fue rápido y me sentí podía confiar en ellos a pesar de ser mi primera compra en Adorama. Cada cierto tiempo recibía un correo dándome información de mi paquete. El producto llego el día indicado. Aun estoy en proceso de prueba del monitor BenQ PD2700Q 27” por lo que no puedo dar una critica al respecto, pero las primeras evaluaciones me han dejado bastante satisfecho, tiene muy buena calidad de imagen y cumple todos los requisitos que deseaba para un monitor (en especial el precio). Los 10 bit me servirá para una mejor visualización a la hora de la edición de videos y fotografía. Lo negativo. Y solo por esto no le doy 5 estrellas. Debido a lo frágil que puede ser un monitor considero q debería estar mejor empaquetado. Por lo menos ponerlo dentro de una segunda caja porque vamos a estar claro, los servicios de envíos no son precisamente cuidadosos con los paquetes. En el momento de la entrega en señor de UPS lanzo la caja hasta mis pies antes de avisarle que tuviera cuidado, estos detalles pudieran ocasionar danos serios a los equipos.

Beautiful monitor. Easy to hook up. So happy it came with different cables. Using it with my MacBook Pro. No hassles. Started up right away. Color looks awesome. Doing photo editing so it’s great so far. Am working from home so not sure about accuracy to my work computer or Epson proofs, but it looks good. Love that the monitor stand can be adjusted easily, up, down and at an angle. For this price, it can’t be beat! Shipping was fast too.

I purchased this monitor as an upgrade from an old HP 17 inch widescreen monitor and I have been very pleased with the size and clarity of the text and pictures on the monitor screen. I am now able to view my photos much clearer in the post processing stage. An excellent monitor with good color and good clarity in images. I would definitely recommend this monitor to anyone looking to upgrade.
