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 p...
In many ways, the BenQ SW2700PT defines a photography monitor for enthusiast-level users. There's the option of simply using the factory-set calibration – which delivers a truly excellent result with nothing more to do – or the capacity to calibrate via c...
Abstract: 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 178/178...

Outstanding colour accuracy, Great calibration tools, Highly adjustable
No integrated speakers
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 competi...

We are clearly past the time that a graphic professional had to pay a lot more than 917 pounds / 1,000 euros for a good monitor. Even Eizo has a monitor available around that price point. We do find that the price of the CS2730, as well as the price of th...

We have rarely had a test where two monitors were this close to each other in terms of performance yet use an entirely different technique. It is clear that AU Optronics has a winner with the AHVA technique – not that long ago the company was primarily...

Referencelevel accuracy, no calibration required, excellent light hood included, premium build quality, bright sharp AHVA panel, slick OSD controller, great value
Some gaps in Palette Master software but the monitor has no flaws worth reporting
A mainstream-brand 27-inch QHD monitor with an IPS panel will cost you between $400 and $600. The BenQ SW2700PT comes in just above that with the most accurate color we've ever seen, high contrast, solid build quality and a wide gamut option. With many...
