Setting this up doesn’t take long and has full compatibility with a range of devices from X-Rite and DataColor. In terms of reproducible colors, and as mentioned earlier, the SW321C delivers 99% of the Adobe RGB color space and 95% percent of DCI-P3 which is a cinematographic color space. It’s taking over from sRGB – or, rather, its video equivalent, Rec.709 – as the standard for color reproduction on transmissive displays, including tablets and smartphones. If you're on the hunt for the best monitor for photo editing or the best video editing monitor. it's worth consideration. Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases. The dynamic contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce over time, for example, in the course of playing a video. Adobe RGB (1998) is a color space, developed by Adobe Systems in 1998. It has a wider gamut than the sRGB (mainly in the cyan-green range of colors) and is widely used in professional printing.

During the set-up process, there were a couple of points that stood out. While my studio space gives me more room than most to move and shift kit around, my desk space is still relatively limited. The stand is easy to adjust and is quite sturdy. It features vertical tilt of -5° to 20°, left/right swivel of plus or minus 45°, pivot of 90°and height adjustment of 5.9 inches. Alternatively it can be mounted using a 100 x 100mm VESA interface.The monitor you look at every day when you edit video and digital images should be as good as your camera, otherwise you may not truly be producing the output you envision. Calibration is a must, but a reliable, high performance display is indispensible. There’s still some good arguments for using HD/QHD res monitors for photo editing, but 4K combined with an expanded color space reproduction represents a big step up in terms of more accurate rendering with finer tolerances and, in turn, access to more precise editing control. Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches. Information about the minimum amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. Very often the manufacturer provides the response time for transition from grey-to-grey (G2G). Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality.

Paper Color Sync simulates printing results using your desired gamut, printer model, and paper type. Eliminates guesswork and wasted effort. Nice! As a result clarity, color and contrast are all more accurately displayed, which BenQ sees as being particularly necessary for Paper Color Sync to work effectively… given we’re talking such small and subtle variations in color and contrast here. Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.

Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. As they launch each new generation, the quality and specifications of the displays seem to leap forward. BenQ monitors are the workhorses of the imaging display world, cheaper than the likes of Eizo and NEC but still able to provide outstanding display quality. Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market. Width The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene. BenQ advertises this monitor for Photographers due to the high resolution, colour Gamut and obviously screen size.

The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. Approximate diagonal size of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the diagonal is calculated from the width and height of the screen.BenQ offers their Palette Master Element software which helps you to set-up and maintains the quality of your display. The SW321C is the latest large scale monitors, and it’s a decent bit of kit. The exterior is kept simple with the monitor arriving as the screen, two-part stand and hood. The monitor’s connection bay includes a USB-C port which, among other things, provides the convenience of a one-cable connection to the computer when performing hardware calibration (and has 60 watts power available).
