For a 2,560x1,440 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...

While this unit can operate as a standard panel for all the normal home and office tasks the extra top and side shields when fitted give that exact colour that the photographer craves.Having recently unhooked a 4K offering it's nice to be let down...

Over the years, I've used quite a few different monitors, including Eizo and NEC professional monitors, and the BenQ SW2700PT matches or exceeds the performance that I'd have expected from those more expensive brands.And I'll say this again many people...

If you plan to use the monitor mainly for image editing and demand the very best in colour reproduction, the BenQ SW2700PT isn't a match for the Eizo monitors we've tested, which continue to earn our top recommendations. That said, it's roughly half the...

We have had a look at a great many screens over the years on Tech Addicts and it has to come to the point whereby a screen becomes the benchmark for others to aspire. The BenQ SW2700PT is that screen. A 27inch AHVA IPS panel and viewing angles of...

1440p monitors aren't as conventional as 1080p and 4K options that pop up in the market because the former is more commonly used while the latter is highly sought after. 1080p is also easier to run for almost every level of hardware available today,...
