Advantages of AQCOLOR

BenQ AQCOLOR technology delivers "Accurate Reproduction". This translates into a color displayed exactly as it is intended to appear. Led by color experts, the BenQ team participates in the development of color-related standards and implementation guidelines by ICC* and ISO**.

*International Color Federation
**International Organization for Standardization

Industry standard color performance

BenQ is committed to absolute color accuracy. SW Series monitors deliver industry-standard color performance for photo and video editing.

10-bit color depth

Access over 1 billion colors, natural shades and smooth gradations with the SW270C.

99% Adobe RGB

The Adobe RGB color space provides a wide range of color reproduction for blue and green hues. This provides a more realistic color representation, especially for outdoor and nature photography. The SW270C also covers 100% sRGB and Rec.709, as well as 97% DCI-P3 and Display P3.

Color accuracy

16-bit look-up table (LUT) improves RGB color mixing accuracy for impeccable color reproduction and Delta E ≤ 2 in AdobeRGB and sRGB color spaces for the most realistic and representative original Image view.

color consistency

BenQ exceeds industry color standards and is committed to achieving the highest level of color accuracy in every detail.

uniformity technology

BenQ Uniformity Technology delivers accurate color from corner to corner across the screen. This is achieved by carefully fine-tuning hundreds of sub-areas on the screen for balanced brightness and absolute confidence.

Multi-monitor consistency

BenQ ensures that monitors from different production lines will display the same level of color.
Photographers and videographers will perceive consistent colors when working on dual monitors.

Hardware calibration

Hardware calibration allows you to adjust the image processing chip in your monitor without changing the graphics card's output data. The image remains identical to the original copy and is not affected by graphics settings.

Palette Master elemental calibration software

Using Palette Master Element software and calibrators, you can adjust and maintain color performance at its best.

Factory calibrated for out-of-the-box color accuracy

Each SW270C is individually calibrated for precise Delta-E and Gamma performance. Average Delta E≤2 in Adobe RGB and sRGB color spaces ensures absolute color accuracy and accurate representation of the original image.
*Calibration eliminates slight color performance differences between individual panels of the same model. Therefore, each reported calibration data differs slightly from reports from other monitors of the same model.

Calman Verification and Pantone Verification

The SW270C achieves Calman Verification status and is Pantone Verified.
Creative professionals demand excellence, and BenQ delivers.

Sophisticated video editing results

Digital photography requires precise, refined tools. SW270C helps professionals get the best results with HDR support and multiple video formats.

High dynamic range (HDR)

SW270C is equipped with HDR10 technology. Videographers can preview HDR effects on video content during the editing process for optimal results.

Video format support

No drop-down or distorted preview video. SW270C supports 24P/25P movie content displayed at native tempo for seamless display.

Select SDI to HDMI device compatibility

BenQ has tested selected SDI to HDMI devices for compatibility with the SW270C. Therefore, videographers can connect their SDI equipment to the monitor for stable and uncompressed signal transmission and true-quality video images.

Support third-party video calibration software

SW270C supports the world's leading video calibration software Calman and LightSpace. Adjust the monitor's 3D LUT (Lookup Table) for accuracy and consistency at all levels.

Intuitive design

BenQ's professional productivity and efficiency improvements simplify photo retouching and video editing.

USB-C Port

The USB-Cᵀᴹ port provides high-speed video/audio/data transfer and power transfer over a single cable.

Lens hood

The SW270C includes a removable lens hood that reduces screen glare from ambient lighting for exceptional color accuracy.

Advanced black and white mode

Choose from three different black and white preview presets to preview your photos before you edit them in your photo editing program.

Hotkey Puck G2

Easily switch between Adobe RGB, sRGB and black and white modes. Set buttons to other modes or OSD settings for visual editing.

GamutDuo mode

GamutDuo allows you to view content side by side in different color spaces for comparison in photo editing.
