What customers say about "Key Specs"

BenQ SW2700PT Photography Monitor

It's much bigger than my previous screen, and the clarity of 27" is fantastic.
This has to be a bargain if you are happy with 27 inch.
Excellent 27", 2K monitor with a great display! Saved myself a fortune.
Size and detail of 27" screen make managing my photos more precise.
I don't feel I'm getting the best sharpness on 2k screen.

BenQ SW270C PhotoVue Photographer Monitor

Blown away by the quality of this 1440p monitor.
If 4K is too expensive or overkill for your needs, the 2K BenQ SW270C should make a great choice for photographers.
27-inch monitor built for photographers, and it acts as a successor or upgrade to the popular SW2700PT that's been around for a few years.
The display has a 2560x1440 resolution, which many photographers prefer for editing images, as 4K can be overkill depending on the content at hand.
Honestly, the resolution of 2k not enough fo me, but otherwise the monitor is decent.

I am very impressed with the image quality and build of the monitor.
Great monitor, the colours are outstanding, bright and vivid.
Now I know why its called the Photographers Monitor due to the true bright colors.
Very happy with colour rendering and sharpness.
The contrast of the display is far from perfect, the blacks are not ‘black’.

What customers say about "Features"

BenQ SW2700PT Photography Monitor

The build quality is brilliant. Stand is easy adjustable.
The puck controller is hand for quickly changing between colour modes allowing for me to proof my work in various colour spaces.
As a photographer this monitor makes my life so much easier when it comes to retouching.
It shows my RAW files from a D810 in their full glory and has made editing so much easier.
Slight critcism of the very small buttons underneath the base frame - very awkward to operate.

BenQ SW270C PhotoVue Photographer Monitor

High-quality build with versatile stand and convenient controls.
Wide, sturdy base holds a rotating vertical arm to which the monitor attaches, and there's about six inches of movement for height adjustment.
It's compatible with a 100mm x 100mm VESA mount and this is really great.
The stand is heavy enough to balance the display no matter how it's sitting, and everything can be adjusted with one hand.
The small dial to program through the various set ups is not intuitive and not well designed.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

BenQ SW2700PT Photography Monitor

USB 3 hub and SD card reader on the side work well.
It comes with a variety of connections to suit whatever your output is.
Like the addition of USB hub and audio jack for convenient connections of small devices and headphones.
Would've liked a USB on the back for connecting my keyboard and Wacom tablet, especially when hooked up to two machines.
2 x USB ports and SD Card slot do not function. Also Head phones input do not function. All the drivers are installed.

BenQ SW270C PhotoVue Photographer Monitor

Purchased it to attach it to Macbook pro for photo editing. It does a nice job connected to the type-c port.
Take advantage of a USB Type-C port that supports video via DP Alt mode, as well as audio, device charging up to 60W.
USB port data transfer speeds up to 5 Gb/s. About connection, this monitor is amazing.
Lot of USB ports. There are also two downstream USB Type-A ports and an upstream USB Type-B port.
Generous port selection including USB Type-C for apple devices.
