Benq Monitor Photo Editing 27 Inch

After searching for and testing several monitors (Dell, LG) for photo editing, I finally landed on the BenQ PD2725U, and I'm glad that I did. It's a beautiful monitor in every way, especially for my primary purpose: photo editing. The image quality is absolutely gorgeous, and the colors appear to be as rich and true as I could ever hope. The hockey puck takes a little getting used to, but after awhile it seems easy and seamless to make adjustments, or change the color settings. The only difficulty I had was with the monitor's initial setup - BenQ shipped DisplayPort, HDMI, Thunderbolt, and USB Type A to Type B cables, but not the one I needed (USB-C) to connect my recent vintage laptop. After futzing around with the Thunderbolt cable, I finally realized that it just wasn't going to work, and went out and bought a new cable. For a $845 monitor, I was a little disappointed that it didn't include one of the most commonly used cables. Otherwise, I'm extremely pleased with the monitor.

This is my 2nd BenQ Photo Editing monitor and as with the first, this is an excellent monitor. From packaging to performance to customer service, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.

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.

I recently replaced two aging 19-inch monitors, which were getting difficult to match with the Samsung 34-inch monitor, which provides a lot of breathing room with much to spare. I do a lot of photo and graphics editing for print, and visual quality and resolution are especially important. Color balance is spot on out of the box, and though the monitor is factory set way too bright for photo editing, it was easy enough to back off the brightness and contrast to get it to the point where it matches photos on my 13x19-inch pro-printers. The 100 Hz refresh rate means no flickering (even noticeable at 75 Hz on the old monitors), and the finer resolution makes photo editing easy.

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

Excellent monitor for photo editing.

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.
