BenQ SW272U 27-inch 4K 90W USB-C Photographer Monitor, 99% Adobe RGB/P3, fine-coating panel with TUV anti-reflection certification, 1.07 billion colours, 16 bit 3D LUT, Wireless Hotkey Puck

Probably the best quality colour accurate monitor money can buy at this price point. Half the price of an Eizo but only very slightly inferior.

This review is for the BenQ SW272U 4K Photographer Monitor -- I tell you this because, all too often we see reviews on Amazon products, only to find the review section covers more than one item, and as far as I know, there are no other reviews for this model.In summary, this is a superb monitor that does everything I want it to do -- and the wireless control puck is an added bonus for flicking through the important colour profiles.Primarily I have it set up to work my Windows machine, but it also operates as a secondary monitor for my Silicone iMac via USB-C.I think a few people expressed dissatisfaction with some of the connections, but personally I don't bother with the auxiliary USB sockets, so I really cannot comment.If you haven't had one before, the included monitor hood is a welcome addition to block out excess light, but it may take a while to get used to adjusting it to suit your own field of vision - and it does make it harder to stick a webcam on the top.The packaging is crazy though -- polystyrene free, the compartmentalised box is a feat of engineering in itself, so be careful you don't discard any important parts once you're done unpacking.You pay good money for this, and you do get what you pay for.

I was a bit nervous ordering an item like a monitor from Amazon as Ive seen how these delivery 'guys' sometimes handle the boxes they deliver. This one however was shipped straight from BenQ. The packaging the monitor came in must have been designed by a former tank or bomb shelter designer! What they did with the cardboard was something else. While the construction was mostly from cardboard the protection it provide for the monitor was spot on. In other words don't have any fear about ordering direct from BenQ through Amazon. The display SW321C itself is a real step up from their cheaper version or should I say less expensive, the BenQ PD3220U that I was not particularly happy with. So far the display which Im currently running off my 2020 iMac looks pretty awesome. Just waiting for my Mac Studio to arrive. Images in Lightroom and Photoshop look great and the ability to switch from Adobe RGB to B@W is a great feature as are all the other colour spaces that are available. Using it for video editing and colour correcting in FCP looks to be a real step up from the 5K iMac display colour wise. Ive never used a monitor with a hood and have to say what a difference. the hood makes as there is zero glare on the monitor. I think that partly due to its very matt finish. All in all it's a great looking display and cant wait to use its Paper Colour Sync feature for printing. Being able to do proper accurate WYSIWYG on screen soft proofing is going to be a printing game changer. Like all feature rich tech its going to take time to fully test and try and become comfortable with all the features.

This is a review of the BenQ SW321C 32 inch 4K photographer monitor - BenQ's top of the range monitor. There is no doubt that this is a fantastic monitor but...The only negative is the backlight bleed in 2 or three corners. I returned the first three monitors for this reason and decided to keep the fourth. All four had virtually the same issue with backlight bleed. In the end I decided I could live with it as it is only visible on a completely black screen, or black in those corners, which is extremely rare. From reading reviews, it seems that this anomaly is present on virtually all 32 inch IPS monitors currently.In all other respects the monitor is 5-star. Great and accurate colours out of the box, great uniformity, great anti-reflective screen, great ergonomics and menu system, great Hot-key Puck for quick switching between colour spaces and brightness and a superb shading hood.The monitor is very sturdy with a good swivel base and the bezels are a little thicker than many monitors but I quite like that as it helps define the screen and avoids distractions.The connections are easy to access if you slightly swivel the monitor by 45-90 degrees. I like the easy to access buttons on the bottom right bezel but due to the Hot-key Puck, I rarely need to use them.I am a professional photographer so the price, although expensive, I felt I could justify. Professionally, I am mostly using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop software, both of which scale fine on a monitor of this size and resolution. I do also use the monitor for a little gaming, mainly Microsoft Flight Simulator and Perfect Golf, both of which do not require high refresh rates, and the monitor really brings these games, or simulations, to life with the 32 inch size, 4k resolution and sublime colours.One other thing, I found that running my desktop at native 100% 4k resolution, the text was just a bit too small for me. I found the "recommended" or default scaling of 150% meant I didn't see as much on screen as I would like and seemed to waste the purpose of a 32 inch screen. However, I found 125% scaling suited me best and is a good compromise.If price is not a major issue or if you earn your living doing colour critical work on a monitor, then I would highly recommend this. So far, very happy with it... despite the slight annoyance of backlight bleed.

The media could not be loaded. Great display, beautiful colors, decent angle of view, good contrast on grey and black areas.Easy to adjust.Extra SD card slot and few USB 3.0 ports it does come handy.

Perfect! Seems brand new. Works as expected! Thank you!

As a photographer/printer for some 40 years this is the perfect replacement for my older BenQ monitor. Overkill for some, but it's a great Investment.

Flexible stand height which is really useful as it has to fit under a shelf. I run it at about 45% brightness and have calibrated it once so far and the colour gamut was still very accurateI use it for video and photo editing. I am glad I did not go for the 4K version as the characters would have been too small on a screen of this size.
