For a 2,560 x 1,440 display, the SW2700PT seems expensive, but you're paying for its colour accuracy and hardware calibration. For dedicated photo or video editors, these are features well worth paying for. And comparing the SW2700PT to the main competition, it's actually good value.

Great monitor so far. Using the i display Pro I got a very good picture totally comparable to my much more expensive Eizo CG2730. No issues using the quadro P6000 10bit output on this " 10" bit monitor although it's actually 8bit + frac but so was my last Eizo CG monitor.

So investing in a monitor pays off in the long run, happy with the product and highly recommended it

I've got an old Canon 60D. I thought I was taking nice pictures - I just didn't know how good they were. Especially in the black & white pics I'm taking, I get to see a huge array of grey shades. I had no idea. So many tones that I just couldn't see before I got this monitor.

A great professional-level monitor for jobs that demand high colour accuracy

To back up the Palette Master Element software BenQ includes a 14-bit 3D look-up table (LUT) to further enhance the accuracy of the native 10-bit panel. Other key features of the SW2700PT include 99 per cent of Adobe RGB coverage, an average Delta-E of less than 2 and a shading hood for the display.

Precise calibration software; Excellent colour reproduction; Multi-adjustment stand; Includes shading hood; Good power consumption

Lacks PiP and PbP; Noticeable IPS glow

When we first unpacked the SW2700PT we weren't surprised by its exceptional build quality or its large feature set. BenQ always puts maximum effort into its products and this new professional monitor is no exception. What did surprise us (only a little) was its phenomenal accuracy.

Reference-level accuracy; no calibration required; excellent light hood included; premium build quality; bright sharp AHVA panel; slick OSD controller; great value

Some gaps in Palette Master software but the monitor has no flaws worth reporting
