Pros and cons

Description

The BenQ SW270C is a 27-inch monitor for graphic professionals such as designers, photographers, and video makers. The monitor has a color output of 10 bits, which is equivalent to 1 billion colors. Thanks to the HDR 10 support, these colors also come into their own in a clear and vivid way, allowing you to enjoy high contrasts. The support of different color spaces ensures that your content appears on the screen in true-to-life colors. The Hotkey Puck G2 on the foot is a switch that allows you to easily switch between different color spaces and settings to ensure the perfect photo, video, or graphic design. The SW270C has a USB-C connector so you can connect various peripherals. You can easily connect the monitor to a laptop with a USB-C connector and charge it at the same time.

Review is 9,2 out of 10.

Pearl.. stands its ground between Eizo and NEC

Image quality/colors
uniformity is good
Pug is very useful
if you have to say something then the place where usb and sd connection is (if you want to use this a lot)

After reading and viewing many reviews, I finally gave in and bought the sw270c. Ordered in the evening, delivered the next day. Never regretted the purchase for a moment. In terms of quality/price, you get a lot compared to the more expensive Eizo and NEC monitors. Monitor can also display 99% adobe colors. The monitor is 2k instead of 4k. 2 k is more than enough for photography in my opinion! Certainly for hobby/amateur photographers (but I am inclined also for professionals) this monitor is a real asset if you want to display the right colors correctly.

Must have for color critical work

Hardware Moderate Calibration
Easy to calibrate with Palette Master Element
Lots of info available on Youtube channel ArtIsRight

Just a really good monitor. Uniformity across the screen is fantastic. I switched from Eizo to this monitor. Absolutely no regrets. I have a lot of printing to do. If you've got your color manager in order, this monitor is your best friend. Connect with a USB-C cable to your Macbook Pro that is also charged. A shading hood that usually has to be bought separately is included with this monitor along with 3 different types of cables. Top!

Top monitor, especially in that price range.

Colors 'out of the box' immediately good
Puk is more convenient than expected
Comes with a USB 3.1 cable (was not in the description)
Does not automatically switch inputs

Replaces my much more expensive (but outdated) Eizo and is not inferior to it in terms of color match and screen uniformity. I had ordered a USB 3.1 cable because it was not mentioned in the description of Cool Blue, but it was included. This screen is QHD (2K) and that is better than 4k for a mac. Ideal for a mac is a ppi of 110 (this is 109) or double (220) for retina. A 4k variant on 27 inches is exactly in between, so you have to scale software. Just delivered the next day.
