27" BenQ PhotoVue SW272Q
The BenQ SW272Q monitor, with its 27" screen and QHD resolution (2560 × 1440 px), is designed for photographers and graphic designers. It is equipped with an IPS panel that covers 99% of the Adobe RGB and 100% of the sRGB colour space, enabling precise colour management for both print and web output. The display features a special Fine-Coated anti-reflective surface with TÜV Rheinland certification, which reduces glare from ambient light and simulates the properties of paper with its surface texture. For high precision during final edits, a practical shading hood is also included, which effectively prevents stray light from hitting the screen surface.

Certified Colour Accuracy
Accurate colour reproduction is the cornerstone of any photo editing process. This colour-accurate monitor covers 99% of Adobe RGB and 100% of sRGB, delivering consistent and predictable results from image capture through editing to the final print. Calman Verified, Pantone Validated, and Pantone SkinTone Validated certifications confirm that the colour performance meets industry standards right out of the box. Furthermore, hardware calibration using a 16-bit 3D LUT (Look-Up Table) allows for fine-tuning and maintaining long-term colour stability directly in the monitor's memory, so the graphics card's output signal remains completely untouched. The GamutDuo feature displays the same image side-by-side in two different colour spaces, for example, Adobe RGB for print and sRGB for the web.
Unique Anti-Reflective Monitor Panel
The Fine-Coated panel is a key innovation for working in any environment. With TUV Rheinland Reflection-Free certification, it effectively suppresses glare and reflections from ambient light, which eliminates distractions and reduces eye strain. The image on this QHD monitor has a texture reminiscent of real paper, making it easier to assess details and completely removing distracting reflections. This feature is further enhanced by the Paper colour Sync software, which simulates the appearance of a photograph on a selected paper type and a specific printer. This gives you an accurate preview of the final print directly on the screen, significantly simplifying and speeding up the pre-press checking process.
Ergonomics and Advanced Monitor Features
The fully ergonomic stand is easily adjustable by changing the height, tilting, or rotating the screen 90° into pivot mode, which is ideal for comfortably working with portrait-oriented photos. The monitor can also be mounted on a custom VESA 100 × 100mm stand. Flicker-free technology, which eliminates invisible backlight flicker, and a Blue Light Filter, which reduces eye strain, ensure your eyes stay comfortable. Additionally, HDR10 support expands the dynamic range, which you'll appreciate when viewing and editing high-contrast content, where details in both bright and dark parts of the scene stand out.
Connectivity Options
Streamline your workspace with modern and versatile connectivity. The centrepiece is the USB-C port, which transmits the video signal, data, and simultaneously powers a connected laptop with up to 90W using a single cable. This solution frees you from excess cables and adapters.

Colour Coverage (Gamut)
Determines how accurately a monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for web, films, or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB is valued by graphic designers or professionals. The higher the stated value, the better the monitor displays colours. Maximum Brightness
The value, given in nits or cd/m², determines the monitor's brightness level. A brightness above 400 nits is key for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while standard office monitors are sufficient with values above 250. Refresh Rate and Response Time
Refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the image and the less eye strain. A lower response time (ms) value eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
