BenQ AQCOLOR monitor

It is not news that our AQCOLOR monitors offer color-critical professionals a unique set of tools that allow for improved and more efficient workflows. However, no features that make our PhotoVue series great happen by chance. On top of selecting the best panels to give all of our SW series monitors leading specs and performance, our design team invests countless hours refining the industrial design of our displays.

It is perhaps BenQ’s renowned industrial design that makes our screens stand out from the crowd. From the color and shape of materials used to bundled accessories like our Hotkey Puck and shading hood, these are some of the most crucial design aspects of our PhotoVue monitor series.

  4. Conclusion

Matte Grey Material

The primary fabrication material of our SW series photographer monitors is a sturdy grey plastic that encloses the whole monitor and adds a comfortable bezel around the screen. This high quality polymer makes the monitor design very durable and improves performance for photoediting purposes.

The neutral grey color of this plastic takes its inspiration from the 18-degree grey commonly used in photography to obtain consistent exposure and color. This matte neutral texture gives PhotoVue monitors a very professional look that matches the preferences of professional photographers. Additionally, the grey bezel improves perceived contrast for even better performance.

Shading Hood

Perhaps the most valued design feature of our AQCOLOR monitors for photographers is the shading hood included with every PhotoVue model. This easy-to-install hood protects from stray light in the room, preventing unwanted glare and reflections on the screen that distract from what is important to you.

The lightweight shading hood was part of the design of our SW series from early on. This means that its functionality is part of the monitor itself. Hoods adjust to the screen being in either horizontal or vertical positions and effortlessly snap into place. The inner side of the shading hood has a lining of non-reflective soft velvet that further dissipates any stray light. Our design team chose this material for its ideal properties after testing dozens of options in the lab. These characteristics make BenQ shading hoods the best on the market, striking the right balance of functionality, durability, and ease of installation.

Details That Matter

In addition to the most prominent features that make our photographer monitors a great choice, other smaller design decisions ensure the best workflow in professional environments. Smaller but thoughtful details contribute to the overall feeling of refinement that characterizes PhotoVue monitors.

For example, the LED light on the front is unobtrusive to the photographer’s work thanks to its low brightness and white color. Additionally, it is easy to turn off entirely from the OSD for those who prefer to work in a dark environment. OSD control buttons on the SW series are front-mounted for accessibility. These large buttons are tactile for haptic feedback, and they are evenly spaced to prevent confusion even in the dark.

Conclusion

It is not by chance that all types of photographers prefer our SW series monitors. Careful selection of the best materials and refined industrial design go into creating some of the best products for color-critical professionals. BenQ is committed to listening to the feedback of professionals and to creating products that match their needs. All of this is what defines our AQCOLOR brand of monitors.
