The monitor is very nice and seems to work well. However, I have a dual monitor setup on my iMac (the Benq being the second), and the Benq-provided calibration software can only be run on a single-monitor configuration.

I'm a film photographer, and have to use an old fuji Sp-3000 film scanner to scan my negatives to digital files. The software that runs on the scanner is limited to windows 2000 and janky fuji software, and doesn't allow for any software color profiles or management.

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 competition, it's actually comparatively good value.

Outstanding colour accuracy; Great calibration tools; Highly adjustable

No integrated speakers

Great monitor so far. Using the i display Pro I got a very good picture totally comparable to my much more expensive Eizo CG2730. No issues using the quadro P6000 10bit output on this " 10" bit monitor although it's actually 8bit + frac but so was my last Eizo CG monitor.

So investing in a monitor pays off in the long run, happy with the product and highly recommended it

I've got an old Canon 60D. I thought I was taking nice pictures - I just didn't know how good they were. Especially in the black & white pics I'm taking, I get to see a huge array of grey shades. I had no idea. So many tones that I just couldn't see before I got this monitor.

A great professional-level monitor for jobs that demand high colour accuracy

Equally important is having a panel that will display a wide range of colors and the right mix of color controls necessary to calibrate the screen.
