Thank you for the great and useful review, you have answered many question I couldn't find in other reviews. regarding the Shading Hood Bridge, is it included with the SW272U or sold separately?
I'm in a dilemma about buying the SW272U over the 32" SW321C. Would you consider the SW321C old now and prefer to go towards the SW272U? Is the picture quality of the SW272U better considering the monitor is 400 nits vs 250 nits?
Hey there, at first I wanted the 24” monitor, then BenQ reached out to test the 27” and I am very happy with it. For photo and video editing, I would not go wider that 27” tbh as it becomes too large for the distance. Regarding the nits, it is all a matter of where you will be working and how much ambiant light there is. If you’re relatively far from other light sources (like the sun glaring on the screen) I’d say 250 nits will work. Take care
Hello! thnaks for the review. I got this monitor and it's just perfect. I just can't pivot the image though, even if I turn the monitor and got the last firmware. Any suggestions? thanks in advance
Thanks for your message and great! You mean to have the monitor in portrait mode? You need to go into the monitor settings and set the orientation to portrait or landscape. Hope that’ll do! Take care
The black on the U model looks mch lighter in the video than the C model and the light reflection looks worse. Is that from the lighting in the room you shot the video?
@@cris_photography Can you give your honest thought on the black level / contrast ratio of the SW272U? It seems very dim and blacks seem a bit washed out in the video.
1500$ for 8bit ? No, thanks. My old 301NEC's colour is better. Or new OLED 32" 4k 240hz from Asus or Dell - colour is good (no worse than this 272) - not best, but good. For the same price. LG 272 - is a very overrated monitor. Yes, colors are not bad. But, 8 bits for $1500. And its colors are worse than those of monitors 10 years ago.

Glad to hear!
No, the shading hood bridge is sold separately on BenQ’s website

Thank you for the great review. You mentioned that the display can not be calibrated through HDMI. What about Display port? Would it work as expected?
My pleasure Kevin. No, only USB-C for calibration 😉
@@cris_photography thank you Cris for your fast reply 🙌🏾🙌🏾

Hey, probably the video. Hard to give it justice in a video honestly

don't use rechargeable AA batteries in the puck.. use AA alkaline batteries, they'll probably last over a year..
Duly noted - thank you for the tip 😉 cheers

Thanks for your feedback and for watching
8 bit does not mean bad color accuracy. It's just not as smooth as 10 bit.
