Reproducing the image you see is the essence of photography. Post-production work in applications like Lightroom, Capture One and Affinity Photo enables almost infinite adjustments and creative choices. The monitor you view these applications and images on has to be exact. Calibration is key. Your monitor has to run the entire color gamut and color space. BenQ PhotoVue Photographer Monitor SW series all have been certified by Technicolor and comply with 99% Adobe RGB, 100% sRGB, and 100% Rec.709 color gamut specifications.
The SW series features the Hotkey Puck on some models that enables users to switch between Adobe RGB, sRGB, and Black & White modes effortlessly, adapting to whatever workflow you’re working. Others feature Color Mode HotKey for quick color mode switching. They also have a detachable shading hood (optional on some models) to effectively reduce screen glare from ambient lighting and guarantee the best possible view of your work. Next, we’ll have a look at two monitors in our PhotoVue line that are packed with features for photographers on a budget.
