![]() ![]() Things like panel quality, color uniformity, brightness uniformity, software compatibility and support are rarely discussed, but could be such serious issues that would end up being deal breakers for some. However, just like with any other product, specifications mean little in the real world, because no matter how impressive they might sound, there are other important variables involved that might negatively impact the performance of the monitor, or create disappointment and frustration for the end user. ![]() With a large 32″ screen size that measures 697.92×392.58mm, 4K resolution, 14-bit 3D-Lut, factory calibration, 99% AdobeRGB / 100% sRGB gamut coverage, Delta E below 2, HDR10, USB 3.0 hub, SD card reader, plenty of high-bandwidth input ports and a hotkey puck that allows switching between different color modes, it indeed sounds like a high-end monitor that could potentially be a photographer’s dream. On paper, the SW320 has impressive specifications.

Within the past few years, the company launched higher-end displays that are capable of hardware LUT calibration and one such product is the BenQ SW320, a large 32″ 4K monitor with an excellent set of features and a comparably low price point of $1,499. Unlike NEC and Eizo that mostly focus on high-end professional-grade monitors, BenQ aims at more consumer and enthusiast-level market, featuring products that deliver excellent value at very affordable price points. Thankfully, some companies have come forward with solutions that address this gap and one of them is BenQ. Unfortunately, high-quality displays are not cheap, and anything on the lower-end is often too big of a gamble, so finding the right monitor that has a good balance of price and performance is a challenge in itself. During this process, making sure that we are looking at calibrated displays is extremely important, because it allows us to ensure that the images are edited properly and consistently. As photographers, we spend quite a bit of time post-processing images. ![]()
