New-Generation BenQ PhotoVue Monitors Elevate the Pursuit of Perfect Color Performance

Singapore, August 2, 2023 – BenQ, internationally renowned brand of digital lifestyle devices and innovator of professional display technology, today launched SW272U and SW272Q, the latest generation of PhotoVue professional photography monitors. Featuring exclusive Fine-Coating panel technology and certified color quality, the 27” 4K and 2K photographer monitors advance the pursuit of perfect performance that photographers and video editors have entrusted to BenQ PhotoVue monitors for many years.

“Our pursuit for perfection never ends, and with the new generation of BenQ PhotoVue monitors SW272U and SW272Q, we ensure spectacular user experiences for photographers and color experts far beyond industry standards," said Conway Lee, President of BenQ Corporation.

PhotoVue monitors employ BenQ-proprietary AQCOLOR Technology with individually factory-calibrated color quality, enhanced by the new Fine-Coating panel certified by TÜV Rheinland for reflection-free performance. This results in a paper-like screen effect which, in conjunction with BenQ Paper Color Sync software, delivers 99% coverage of Adobe RGB, DCI-P3, and Display P3 wide color gamuts with ΔE ≤ 1.5 color accuracy for industry-leading screen-to-print results as the ultimate platform for accurate photo editing and reliable reproduction to printed output.

Further augmenting PhotoVue monitors’ color performance, BenQ third-gen Uniformity and Color Consistency technologies utilize high-precision apparatus to adjust hundreds of sub-regions of the screen, ensuring precise colors across the entire display as well as perfect color matching across multiple monitors.

PhotoVue SW272U and SW272Q are certified by Pantone Validated, Pantone SkinTone and CalMan Verified for color performance and calibration. Hardware calibration is facilitated by Palette Master Ultimate, BenQ’s exclusive, powerful yet intuitive color management software popular among color professionals, as well as full support for Calman, Colorspace, and other third-party photography and videography calibration solutions.

Featuring an available detachable shading hood bridge for dual operation as standalone screens or multiple hooded monitor setups, the new-generation PhotoVue models provide best-in-class creative experiences with aesthetically functional design that includes a leatherette pad at the base for safe placement of digital cameras, calibrators, and other devices, as well as USB-C connectivity with 90W of power delivery.

BenQ’s commitment to color-critical markets is exemplified by BenQ’s partnership with Pantone, serving the global community of color professionals who depend on the Pantone system for color accuracy. The new PhotoVue monitors come with a one-year free subscription to Pantone Connect Premium, enabling photographers, video editors, and designers to share accurate color palettes and collaborate with team members, clients, marketers, and printers via the cloud from a mobile app.
