The BenQ SW271 is a high-performance 27in 4k 16:9 IPS monitor, aimed at photographers and videographers who desire better colour accuracy than budget displays, but at a more affordable price than traditional pro monitors. The picture quality is excellent with a highly detailed and uniform image that can essentially display the entire Adobe RGB gamut.

Despite minor complaints about the monitor’s placement of the card reader and USB ports and slight color shifts at weird viewing angles, the fact is that this is a truly excellent monitor, and I recommend it even to people who don’t think they need it. If you’re a professional and you know what you need, then rest assured: the BenQ SW271 will give it to you.

The BenQ SW271 is relatively expensive, as far as monitors go, but if you’re a photographer or videographer who is looking for a large-screen with superb image quality, then it would make for a great investment. Photographers in particular should enjoy the fantastic colour accuracy and high level of detail that the monitor provides.

Deze BenQ SW271 is een welkom nieuw alternatief voor de veeleisende fotograaf die op zoek is naar een monitor om zijn of haar beelden op te bewerken. De specificaties van deze 4K-monitor zijn indrukwekkend en in de praktijk worden beelden op een prima wijze weergegeven. Scherpte, kleuren en contrasten zijn erg goed. De ergonomie en het werken met de BenQ is ons ook goed bevallen.

The BenQ SW271 is a fantastic monitor worthy of insistent recommendations if you are in the market for an Adobe RGB display. The IPS screen on our review model did not show any expected flaws indicating careful selection and process, plus the build quality is superb and downright robust.

With the SW271 BenQ has created one of the best 4k wide gamut displays that I have used to date. With the improved design that allows for much smaller bezels, the inclusion of USB-C and the highly accurate displays for both sRGB & Adobe1998, there is a...

Like the BenQ SW320 Pro 32″ Monitor Chris reviewed in September 2017, the SW271 is an excellent value in a very high-end monitor. I liked it so much that during my review I decided to use it as my primary display instead of my Late 2014 model 27″ 5K Retina iMac’s display. The 27” 5K Retina iMac offers higher resolution in the same screen area but the SW271’s larger color gamut won me over for both photo, processing and video editing.

The BenQ SW271 is a superb display that offers a huge UHD resolution workspace in combination with a wide gamut Adobe RGB display at a price point that is extremely competitive. With a street price of under $1100 USD, you get a colour accurate display with 4K resolution that packs HDR, hardware LUT and a suite of features tailored for photographers. The SW271 quite simply offers extraordinary performance at its price point and is exceptional value for money. Highly recommended.
