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. Ergonomics Information about the ergonomic functions - height adjustment, swivel angles, tilt angles, etc. VESA mount Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. It’s easy to see why the BenQ SW321C is the 2020 TIPA Award winner for Best Professional Photo Monitor. Right now, the only question you should be asking yourself is “Do I have a workstation large enough for this incredible monitor?” That’s a very pleasant dilemma.
Information about the maximum vertical viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. Information about whether there is a possibility for wall mounting according to the VESA Mounting Interface Standard (MIS). The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen.An important aspect of a dedicated photo monitor is the minimization of reflections and glare on the screen. The SW321C comes with a modular hood, but more important is its ‘Advanced Reflectionless Technology’ (ART), a special micro-fine matte surface coating designed to defuse reflected ambient light with far better efficiency than previously. 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. Another very useful feature is ‘GamutDuo’ which works in the monitor’s picture-by-picture (PBP) display and provides mirrored images in two different color spaces (i.e. via two different inputs). Each image is also fully adjustable independently, and this is a facility that would ordinarily need two monitors side-by-side.
There are a couple of USB ports and an SD card on the side of the monitor as well (Image credit: TechRadar) Features 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. Each SW321C monitor is delivered to you individually calibrated and comes with a printed factory report, but the hardware calibration – via an external colorimeter – can be subsequently performed via BenQ’s proprietary Palette Master Element software (which is supplied on a CD-ROM). The value of hardware calibration on a photo monitor is that it bypasses the computer’s video card and color management with, in this instance, the much greater color precision of 16-bit processing (giving 65,536 levels per color). Consequently, hardware calibration is generally considered superior to software-based calibration (which also requires a colorimeter), but the latter will still ensure that the monitor is kept within specifications over time. 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).
As ever there are three main cables, one for the display; display port, 2 x HDMI, USB Type-C, then a standard USB Type A, Type B for the computer data connection a Micro B and of course power.
