The 27-inch QHD display provides a resolution of 2560 × 1440, delivering detailed imagery and sufficient workspace for professional editing applications.

The QHD resolution also provides enough workspace for editing tools and application interfaces without requiring the higher system resources associated with larger ultra-high-resolution displays.
99% Adobe RGB for Professional Photography
The SW272Q provides 99% Adobe RGB coverage, making it particularly suitable for photographers and professionals working with colour-sensitive images.
Adobe RGB provides a wider colour space than standard sRGB and is especially valuable for photography and print-oriented workflows.
The monitor also supports:

This wide colour coverage allows creators to work across different colour spaces while maintaining consistent visual results.
Delta E ≤ 1.5 for Accurate Colour Reproduction
Colour accuracy is essential when the final output needs to match the creator’s original vision. The BenQ SW272Q achieves Delta E ≤ 1.5, providing highly accurate colour reproduction.
BenQ’s AQCOLOR technology is designed to reproduce colours as accurately as possible, helping creative professionals confidently work with subtle differences in:
- Skin tones
- Shadows
- Highlights
- Gradients
- Product colours
- Textures
- Natural landscapes
- Studio photography
The monitor’s 16-bit 3D LUT further supports smooth colour transitions and precise colour processing.
Fine-Coated Panel for Reflection-Free Viewing
The SW272Q features BenQ’s Fine-Coated Panel, designed to minimize unwanted reflections and glare.
The special coating helps create a simulated paper-texture appearance on the display, providing a more natural viewing experience when working with photographs and print-oriented content.
The monitor is also TÜV Rheinland Reflection-Free Certified, making it suitable for creative environments with different ambient lighting conditions.
By reducing distracting reflections, the Fine-Coated Panel helps creators focus on fine image details and colour adjustments.
Paper Color Sync for Accurate Soft Proofing
For photographers and print professionals, knowing how an image will appear when printed is extremely important.
Paper Color Sync helps simulate the appearance of a photograph based on selected colour settings, printer characteristics, and paper type. This allows creators to preview their images on screen before sending them for printing.
Paper Color Sync is particularly useful for:
- Professional photographers
- Photo studios
- Fine-art photographers
- Commercial photographers
- Print designers
- Publishing professionals
- Creative agencies
It provides a more predictable workflow between digital editing and physical print output.
