Benq 27 Inch Monitor Price History

I'm a semi-retired professional photographer and I had the 27-inch model of this BenQ monitor. I recently ordered the 32-inch and it is every bit as excellent as the 27-inch. The color calibration is accurate out of the box, and with a color calibrator I purchased from B&H, my color calibration is measured as ambient, which means it changes as the light in my room changes. My ambient light changes a lot and the BenQ w/calibrator doesn't miss a pixel! I couldn't be happier. My 27-inch BenQ is 5 years old and it survived a move from California to Nevada, and Silicon Valley and Nevada heat (before I finally got air conditioning).

Before I purchased this BenQ Monitor, I had an older 1440p 27 monitor that I bought back in 2014. Wow what a difference! Right out of the box this monitor has colors that really pop and the the pictures are very sharp. The color accuracy and sharpness is much better when working on my digital photography as well. I feel that this monitor is well worth the money, especially if like me you were interested in upgrading the size, I went from 27 to this 32 and the extra 5 is worth it, especially since the resolution is now 4K! I would highly recommend this monitor!

I am using it to connect a 27 inch secondary monitor with no issues.

This is a great option for an economical 27 inch monitor.

To begin with, anyone who complains about the price has not checked out what the very limited field of competition sells their 27 4k OLED monitor for. This is roughly 1/2 or more the list price of the competition (which has now come down in price to within $600 dollars of this Philips model ~ I wonder why?) & I think it's a better monitor than the life is good people. Note the KVM Switch and the color plate options, plus a huge amount of ports to work with. The stand has a five inch range of motion up and down you can operate with a finger and it has the ability to rotate into portrait mode. That said the image is what will set the hook in for you. Better blacks will not be seen, especially when you turn out all the lights and realize there is no blooming into grays for blacks and those blacks are infinity devoid of light photons. 1080 upscales very well to 4k. But you will get lost in legit 4k content when viewing the Philips 27E1N8900. Forget all the big screens at home or at Lowes cinema and just hunker down in front of this 27 inch guy. I had been waiting for something along these lines for quite a while that had both quality and value to pair with my MacBook Pro in clamshell mode. It accomplishes this via a USB-C cable that both distributes the content from the Mac and powers it at the same time. (The single upgrade I will make will be swapping out the USB-C cable that came with the monitor to a thunderbolt 4 cable to yield the best possible connection with my MacBook Pro.) Oh... & Philips stands solidly behind this monitor with a 4 year guarantee. Enough said. Highly recommended.

Worked with my LG 27 inch monitor. Easy to assemble.

I got this to replace an older 24 secondary monitor and compliment my BenQ 27 2K main screen. Has the same 99% Adobe RGB and 100% sRGB as my 2K monitor.

I have been using an NEC PA272W wide gamut monitor (27) for the past several years and loved that monitor. I decided to try a larger monitor with 4K resolution and settled on the BenQ SW321C. No regrets. The larger size monitor made an immediate impression. I kept both monitors side-by-side for a few days until I was satisfied that then BenQ was up to expectations. There is no going back to a 27 monitor for me. Second, the resolution is a small step up from the NEC. Not as huge as I expected, but definitely noticeable even with the larger size. The gamut on the BenQ seems to be a bit better than the former NEC is well. Calibrating with the BenQ Palette Master software with my Xrite i1 Display Pro was a piece of cake. I am running Windows 11 and had no glitches. Windows automatically used the newly calibrated profile in the display settings. I also am now a huge fan of EASILY switching between adobe RGB and sRGB profiles. I shoot and print most of my work in Adobe RGB. However, being able to switch to sRGB, wither with the buttons on the monitor or the Hotkey Puck, is very easy and useful. For what this monitor offers and at the price, well I'm pretty happy.

This monitor is very nicely built and the display is impressive. While the screen is not quite as bright as my 27 5K iMac, the overall display quality is very good and colors are accurate. BenQ's power supply is internal, another plus. The BenQ display has no problems waking from my Apple Studio's computer sleep mode, my HP monitor required being powered off and back on each time.

If you are looking for a production monitor - you probably want to look at Benq's other models - but if you are ready to move up from 27 to 32 with 4k at a reasonable price point - this one is it. I'm just a hobbyist and casual gamer and this monitor fit perfectly for me. My photos look great on the screen, and games look good. Absolutely no problems. The only downside is the lack of height adjustability, but it's not a major concern for me.
