Secondly, the IPS technology ensures high color accuracy, making this monitor suitable for color-sensitive applications such as photo editing.

Ergonomics at the Forefront

The stand of this monitor allows for very flexible adjustment options: Adjust the height, tilt it up and down, swivel it left or right, or rotate it 90° into portrait mode (pivot). The perfect monitor orientation for any seating position or task is just a reach away.

With the street price of around 1,200 euros for a professional monitor, there is little for creative professionals to think about. It's not just the features and technology that are right here, but also the price.

The BenQ SW272U presents itself as a convincing successor to the SW271C, which scores points in particular for its well-lit, viewing-angle-stable IPS panel with a wide colour gamut. This enables professional image retouching and proof simulations.

  • PositiveThis monitor combines excellent image reproduction and colour accuracy with high resolution, large colour spaces and HDR capability
  • NegativeThe new base of the SW272U lacks the recess for the hotkey puck familiar from other BenQ models. The calibration process is quite time-consuming.

The BenQ is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to put their image processing on a colour-safe footing. A laptop can be connected to the SW272U with just one cable via the USB-C port. Another practical feature is the integrated SD card reader at the bottom of the monitor.
