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.

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.

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.
