Product Information

It's possible to save the results of performance as an HTML document so that you have a record of how the monitor is performing, which could be particularly important for colour critical work or to show that your computer and monitor is set up correctly. Validation Report - Using the advanced mode on Palette Master Element, you are able to measure the monitor's colour performance (Calibration 1), and we measured an averageΔE of 1.72, and a maximumΔE of 3.81, which is good. The SW271C has a 27-inch display with 3840x2160 (UHD) resolution. It's using an IPS panel for wide viewing angles, and its matte finish helps reduce glare from overhead lights. A shade hood is included, with all the parts for a horizontal or vertical orientation. The display is, as expected, downright gorgeous. It's mostly the same as the older SW271, with 100% sRGB, 100% AdobeRGB, and 95% DCI-P3 color reproduction, as measured with a SpyderX Pro colorimeter. A cable tidy is included on the rear of the stand for keeping everything neat once it’s set up how you like. There's also a handle at the top, making it easier to lift the monitor if needed. six-section, clip-together modular hood is supplied to provide proper shading and more effectively eliminate reflections, ensuring optimum viewing conditions regardless of the time of day. The hood’s modular design means it’s easily reconfigured with the monitor is being used in the vertical orientation.

From what I can tell – NEC has the advantage for color accuracy and the BenQ for screen resolution.However, greys are good, with them looking grey, with minimal tint, unless you've moved the image to the left or right of the screen. We found the best colour results were from using a calibration device in combination with the Palette Master Element software, which meant the software was able to write the calibration results to the monitor's LUT. On the surface, there is essentially no difference between the almost 4-year-old SW271 and the brand new SW271C. You get the same plastic exterior, the same chunky bezels, the same circular menu buttons, and the same 5-piece monitor hood. They both also use the same massive monitor base, which is almost comically large for a 27-inch 16:9 monitor. If I were keeping this for longer than the few weeks it took to review, I’d definitely put the SW271C on a monitor arm and save myself the desk space. Regarding] photo editing, we already have our own [Palette Master Element] software, which supports X-Rite and Datacolor calibrators,” said a spokesperson. “This is why at this moment we don’t have plans to support i1 Profiler or Spyder software to do hardware calibration.” While BenQ may have bent the truth a little bit with the claims of HDR and 10-bit color, there was no need to do the same for color gamut coverage and Delta E. Color accuracy on this display is top-notch. Using the i1 Display Pro and i1 Profiler Software, 6493K was the Colour temperature achieved in the centre of the monitor, but this deviated as we measured different points on the screen. Luminance was the requested 120 cd/m2, is 120 cd/m2 in the centre of the frame.

Earlier last year I had a chance to test the BenQ SW320 monitor, which turned out to be a solid choice for my photography needs. I was able to calibrate the display using both BenQ’s native Palette Master Element software and DisplayCAL, which provided me with great results at the end (you can see my calibration results in my detailed BenQ SW320 Review). I wanted to explore BenQ’s product line even further and this time I will be taking a closer look at the smaller 27″ version of the monitor, the SW271. Quite a few things have changed since last time I looked at BenQ monitors and with the most recent updates to calibration software, it seemed like I could get even more out of these wide gamut displays. Let’s take a look at what I was able to achieve with the BenQ SW271 in my environment. The resolution of 3840x2160‎ provides plenty of working space, while text is comfortable to read with Windows font set to 125%, although you may want to increase the font size further. As far as 27-inch professional photo monitors are concerned, the BenQ SW271 still has excellent affordability on its side, but more significantly it has a 4K resolution display, a more flexible set of inputs and some additional operating conveniences to assist with workflow efficiencies. Try Eizo CS2730 27″ QHD + i1DisplayPro = about 1200 euro. It is going to be replaced by CS2731 but the two are more or less the same, if you want the new panels with high contrast (for an IPS, about 1500:1) for video content you have to move to Eizo CGs which are expensive. Market segmentation.I have looked at the Dell UP2720Q which was well reviewed by Nasim but there is a 6 week wait time from Dell to get it.
