BENQ SW272Q Professional Monitor | 27 Inch | 60HZ | 5 MS | 100% SRGB Rating

The BenQ SW272Q is a 27-inch QHD (2560×1440) IPS professional monitor from the PhotoVue series, designed for photographers, videographers, and colour-critical creative professionals. Its IPS panel delivers a wide 178°/178° horizontal and vertical viewing angle with a native contrast ratio of 1000:1 and a typical brightness of 300 nits, underpinned by LED backlighting and an anti-reflection fine-coating that carries TÜV Rheinland Reflection-Free certification. Colour fidelity is at the heart of the SW272Q. BenQ's AQCOLOR technology achieves Delta E≤1.5 out of the box, and the display covers 100% sRGB, 99% Adobe RGB, and 98% DCI-P3 colour spaces — making it versatile across web design, professional photography, and 4K video post-production workflows. A 16-bit 3D lookup table (LUT) ensures smooth colour blending and precise tonal reproduction. The monitor ships with Calman Verified, Pantone Validated, and Pantone SkinTone Validated certifications, and supports third-party video calibration software including Calman and ColourSpace. BenQ's Palette Master Ultimate software allows hardware calibration in three steps, while Paper Color Sync software simulates how colours will appear on specific printer and paper combinations before committing to print. Connectivity is well-equipped for professional use: two HDMI 2.0 ports, one DisplayPort 1.4, and a USB-C port that supports DisplayPort Alt Mode, data transfer, and up to 90 W Power Delivery for single-cable laptop workflows. The monitor is HDR10 compatible, and BenQ has validated select SDI-to-HDMI converters (including Blackmagic Teranex Mini and AJA Hi5 12G) for stable, uncompressed video signal input. HDCP 2.2 support is included. A headphone jack provides basic audio connectivity; there are no built-in speakers. Ergonomics are comprehensive: the stand supports tilt (−5° to +20°), swivel (30°/30°), 90° pivot for portrait orientation, and 140 mm height adjustment. VESA 100×100 mm compatibility is supported for third-party mounting. The unit weighs 9.4 kg with the shading hood and operates on a 100–240 V universal power supply, drawing 25 W typically and up to 160 W at maximum load.
