BenQ 31.5 inch 4K Photographer Monitor (SW320)
Outstanding Color Accuracy and Resolution
Preserve the true colors you captured to ensure precious moments are perfectly remembered. BenQ Photographer Monitors’ IPS technology and superb 99% Adobe RGB color space provide spectacular color performance and superwide color range. Keep the moment and never let it fade away.
With four times the resolution of Full HD displays, 4K UHD resolution delivers extraordinary clarity of fine details and textures for visually intensive work with the most perceptible quality in graphics, designs, and photos that human eyes can see.
Devoted to meet the latest professional color standard, BenQ has developed AQCOLOR technology to uphold the concept: “Accurate Reproduction”. BenQ has invited a color expert to lead the team, and also actively participated in ICC (International Color Consortium) and ISO (International Standard Organization) to establish color-related standards and implementation.
Fully visualize the true colors of nature. Adobe RGB color space offers a far greater range of color reproduction for shades of blue and green, resulting in dramatically more realistic color representation for outdoor and nature photography. With 10-bit panels producing over one billion colors for natural color transitions and subtle shading, SW320 guarantees the silkiest, smoothest gradations.
The 14-bit 3D look up table (LUT) improves RGB color blending accuracy, resulting in impeccable color reproduction. Precise Delta E≤2 in both Adobe RGB and sRGB color spaces renders the truest and most representative view of the original image.
Hardware calibration allows you to adjust the monitor’s internal image processing chip without changing the graphics card output data, keeping displayed images consistent with the original content without being affected by graphic settings.
By using Palette Master Element and a calibrator, you can tune and maintain the monitor’s color performance at its most optimal state.
*Calibrator purchased separately
*Supported Platforms: Win7 or above, Mac OS 10.6.8 or above
*Supported Calibrators: X-Rite i1 Display Pro / i1 Pro / i1 Pro 2 & Datacolor Spyder 4 / Spyder 5
Each BenQ Photographer Monitor is individually factory-calibrated upon production to assure precise Delta-E and Gamma performance. Achieving an average Delta E≤2 in both Adobe RGB and sRGB color spaces, calibration results are validated against industry color standards to deliver the truest and most representative view of original content.
*Calibration eliminates slight color performance variations between individual panels of the same model. Therefore, the calibration data of each report will vary slightly from reports from other displays of the same model.
