With USB-C connectivity, it enhances work efficiency with fast video, audio, and data connectivity and also provides a convenient way to quickly charge USB-C devices, such as notebooks, smartphones, or tablets, with 60 watts Power Delivery. The monitor comes with an anti-reflective hood that effectively reduces color distortion and reflections from ambient light, as well as the Hotkey Puck, a wired OSD controller. The new BenQ SW271C will be available in stores starting in March for a suggested retail price of € 1,499 including VAT.

Professional USB-C Monitor Guarantees Highest Color Accuracy

Highly valued by professional image editors, color accuracy is guaranteed by 99% Adobe RGB, 100% sRGB, and 95% DCI P3 color space coverage, with end-to-end color consistency achieved through built-in hardware calibration. Each SW271C comes with a factory calibration report and certifications from CalMAN and Pantone. Custom hardware calibration is always possible using a 16-bit 3D Look Up Table (LUT) with BenQ's own Palette Master Element calibration software, ensuring consistent color representation.

Professional image editors can also enjoy features such as an enhanced black-and-white mode, GamutDuo - for comparing images and videos in different color spaces, AQCOLOR for accurate color reproduction, and 10-bit color depth. Uniformity technology calculates the optimal color and brightness values for hundreds of parts of the screen and displays them, resulting in a brilliant image with homogeneous lighting. An extra wide viewing angle of 178° horizontally and vertically allows for collaborative viewing of work results without limitations for viewers, even when viewing from the side or from above or below the screen.

Paper Color Sync Software Simulates Print Colors on the Screen

With the Paper Color Sync technology, the SW271C allows you to accurately view print results by simulating the output of the print on paper. The color space, printer model, and paper type can be determined for optimal results. This allows professional image editors to see the quality of the final result before the print job is printed.

High Comfort at the Workplace

The SW271C offers maximum adjustability to the seating position to enable ergonomic working. The display can be rotated up to 45 degrees on both sides and tilted up or down between -5 and 20 degrees. Additionally, the monitor stand is infinitely adjustable in height by 150 mm. For the 90-degree rotation function, the included anti-glare cover can easily be adjusted to portrait mode. Maximum user convenience is provided by the Hotkey Puck, a next-generation wired OSD controller that allows intuitive operation of the OSD menu and switching between different color modes. It is also possible to assign personal preference settings. The SW271C offers connections for DisplayPort, 2x HDMI®, and 2x USB 3.1, USB-C, as well as an integrated SD/MMC reader, leaving little to be desired in terms of connectivity.

Video Editing Made Easy

The professional display supports various video formats and selected SDI-to-HDMI devices; film enthusiasts can connect their SDI devices to the monitor and enjoy their video material in the best quality via stable and uncompressed signal transmission. The SW271C is also particularly suitable for efficient video editing in HDR quality.

BenQ offers a three-year warranty for the SW271C, including on-site replacement service.
