Elevating Colour Precision for Photographers

BenQ SW272U | ₹1,39,990

The importance of top quality equipment is something that is well understood by photographers, and with colour correction and image manipulation becoming integral to photography, there is no choice but to make a similar investment on your computer hardware, especially the monitor.

Display 

The primary highlight of the SW272U is its 27-inch 4K panel, boasting an astonishing 99% coverage of the Adobe RGB colour space. This means that photographers can trust that the colours they see on screen closely mirror the colours in their actual photographs. The inclusion of DCI-P3 and Display P3 ensures that it’s suitable not only for photography but also for video editing and graphic design, offering versatility for creative tasks.

Precision and Clarity 

BenQ is giving colour accuracy high priority with a Delta E ≤ 2 rating, ensuring minimal colour deviation and true representation of hues. The 10-bit colour depth and 16-bit 3D Look-Up Table (LUT) allow for smoother gradients and transitions, which is particularly vital for demanding tasks such as retouching and colour correction. The on-screen display (OSD) is intuitive and responsive, ensuring effortless customization of colour profiles and other settings.
