![]() ![]() With a 10 bit display, the colors will almost always look smooth across your screen. As the single color moves from one gradient to another, you can notice “banding” or hard transitions between the gradients. This will be most notable in situations where you have strong gradients of a single color such as a sunset or blue sky. With most monitors displaying content at 8-bit, a 10-bit display is capable of showcasing more than one billion different colors. If you notice any significant changes to how your image looks, your display doesn’t have IPS technology built in.Īdditionally, this monitor is capable of display 10-bit color if you have the right GPU. Lean to the left or the right (or even stand up or duck down). An easy way to see if your current monitor is an IPS display is to sit directly in front of it while looking at one of your images. When viewing a non-IPS display, the saturation and contrast of your image can fluctuate depending on the angle you are viewing the display from. It is an IPS panel, which stands for “In-Plane Switch”, which is a term used to describe a monitor that has great viewing angles (178 degrees to be exact). With the SW271 we have an LCD display that puts out an impressive 4k resolution. If your display isn’t showing you the true colors of your image, regardless if you are using a laptop or desktop, how can you hope to accurately edit your photos? While we will talk a bit about Color Management in the next section of this review, you still need to have the display hardware capable of achieving the level of accuracy we should all be shooting for. Fortunately, the BenQ SW271 excels in this regard! The single most important aspect of any monitor is how accurately it shows both color & contrast. These additional ports only work if you connect your display to your computer via the USB 3.0 cable included in the box or the USB C/Thunderbolt 3 port. Lastly on the back of the monitor, behind the left edge of the display, you will find two full USB 3.0 ports as well as a full SD card slot. That is a pretty big deal as it means that your display gets more screen real-estate while having a smaller footprint. The bezels on the top, left and right of the monitor look to be either 1/3 or maybe even 1/4 of the size of the bezels I have on my larger BenQ 32″ SW320 4k displays sitting on my desk. The display itself is gorgeous, but more importantly in terms of design, they have managed to seriously shrink the bezels from previous BenQ display lines. When you get the BenQ SW271 out of the box and set up on your desk, either by using the included Desktop Stand or by attaching the display to an Ergotron Arm (more on that later), you will notice the new screen design, at least if you have used BenQ displays in the past like I have. Additional Cables: USB type-C cable(1m), mDP to DP cable (1.8m), HDMI 2.0 cable (1.8m), USB 3.1 cable (Gen 1)(1.8m). ![]()
