What customers say about "Display"

ViewSonic VP2785-4K 4K Ultra HD Professional Monitor

Stunning monitor for quality of display, color calibration, and feature set.
Still exploring the color calibration options, but very impressed with both the pre-calibrated settings and ability to fine tune.
I will say the image quality is nice with excellent color reproduction and clarity.
As for color accuracy, it is simply stunning.
Great color and picture quality. Only thing to adjust out-of-box was brightness and contrast.

BenQ SW271 4K Photography Monitor

The Photographers Monitor true, true colors.
I think the image quality is good for the price of this monitor.
This monitor is apparently aimed at photographers who demand perfect colour reproduction.
Great monitor, the colours are outstanding, the build quality is brilliant, and the included hood was a great bonus.
Great homogeneity in brightness and colour temperature.

What customers say about "Features"

ViewSonic VP2785-4K 4K Ultra HD Professional Monitor

The KVM feature works fine, basically connecting two monitors and splitting the screen in half for each.
With the feature set this monitor offers, there is simply no better value.
Switching the input on the monitor makes all peripherals available to that station.
The build quality is excellent. The stand and monitor is highly adjustable and stable.
Seems well suited for professional photographers and video editors. The menu options are extensive.

BenQ SW271 4K Photography Monitor

Another main feature what made me buy this monitor was the ability to switch colour profiles on the fly along with the brightness.
Build quality is good, the supplied shade is excellent and it’s nice to be supplied with all the cables required in the box.
I love this monitor, it oozes with quality and feels very solid.
Editing photos and video in Photoshop and Premier is so much easier with so much screen space to play with.
The hood is a useful addition as mine is next to a window and it prevents glare onto the screen.

What customers say about "Connectivity"

ViewSonic VP2785-4K 4K Ultra HD Professional Monitor

I bought it for my boss so he could connect his Macbook Pro with a single USB-C to USB-C Cable. Really good.
The monitor provides plenty of power to keep the Macbook charged over the USB-C connection.
The display quality is great, and I love that the same cable that connects it to my MacBook Pro also powers the laptop.
Connectivity is excellent. Worked with Netflix Windows 10 app streaming a 4K movie.
After I connected it to the computer the Dell tower was unable to power up.

BenQ SW271 4K Photography Monitor

Wow just plugged it in - its beautiful!
USB 3 hub and SD card reader on the side work well.
I use the i1 Display Pro and, once you understand it, the results of the hardware calibration using the software seem excellent.
I also tried the enclosed cables, same problem, still only 8 bit output.
The only thing that annoyed me was the display port cable that came with the monitor. It was a DisplayPort to mini display port.
