A good computer monitor is one of the most important aspects of a robust photo editing workflow. However, color-accurate, high-quality displays are often quite pricey, sometimes prohibitively so. BenQ aims to change that with its new SW242Q monitor.
BenQ's new PD3225U "design monitor" features Thunderbolt 3, 98% coverage of the P3 color space, and Pantone validation through LG's IPS Black panel technology.
BenQ has announced a pair of new 27-inch SW-series monitors aimed at photographers, including the SW272U and SW272Q. The new monitors share many features, although they differ in resolution and offer slightly different shading hoods.
Apple’s Peek Performance event went down with its signature flair and once again surprised the PC industry with a new chip, the M1 Ultra, that looks set to raise the bar on real-world performance and power efficiency. Yet the Apple Studio Display feels like a dud in comparison.
As cameras have rapidly evolved over the last decade, so have the requirements to get the most out of them. Specifically, what a photographer should care about when it comes to a computer has gone from simple, to somewhat complicated and often nuanced.
Pantone has launched the Pantone SkinTone Validated program, which is an addition to its existing validation program for colors and is the first such program that will attempt to validate the appearance of skin tones in displays and print.
One of the most important items a photographer can have is a top-notch display on which to edit their images (or video). The BenQ PD3420Q is the company's latest ultra-wide, and it promises a huge amount of screen real-estate for an affordable price: a multitasker's dream.
With the release of the new-and-improved PhotoVue SW271C, BenQ is once again hoping to win over photographers with impressive color accuracy and targeted photo editing features at a reasonable price. But unlike the original SW271, the SW271C is entering a much more competitive marketplace, at a price that isn't quite so "reasonable" anymore.
BenQ has announced the SW271C, an upgrade to the photographer-favorite SW271, its latest color-accurate professional monitor designed for photographers. The company says that it brings top-tier professional monitor technology to a broad audience at an affordable price.
BenQ has announced the PD3420Q, a 34-inch, 2K resolution, 21:9 ultra-wide, HDR design monitor that covers 100% of sRGB and 98% of P3 color spaces. The company promises out-of-the-box color accuracy powered by BenQ's AQCOLOR technology.
BenQ has finally launched the SW270C monitor, the successor to the best-selling 27-inch SW2700PT model, which has been a favorite among budget-conscious photographers. I had the pleasure to be one of the first European photographers to test the new SW270C, and made sure to properly put it through its paces for one whole month before writing this review.
After sharing a brief preview of their newest 27-inch, 2560 x 1440 resolution PhotoVue SW270C monitor at NAB 2019 earlier this year, BenQ has finally released the affordable photo editing monitor to the world.
If you've got some cash to burn and you're looking for the ultimate photo editing monitor, BenQ's got a great new gadget for you to consider. It's called the SW320, and it's 31.5-inches of 4K, HRD, IPS, Adobe RGB color space goodness.
