Display and Colour Gamut on BenQ SW321C

The most important features a photographer needs while editing are the Color accuracy and the Resolution of the monitor. The color accuracy matters because it directly affects the printing results and the appearance of the photos on other devices and on the Web. And the resolution is essential to see the crisp and clear texture of the Photographs.  SW32IC with its latest hardware doesn’t disappoint in both requirements as this 4k monitor can cover up to 99% of Adobe RGB, 100% of SRGB, and 95% of DCI-P3/Display P3 Color Space for better color accuracy.

BenQ SW321C supports a full range of Video resolutions with uncompressed and non-distorted playback. The 24P/25P film content can be played without any pulldown or other distortion.  Moreover, HDR10 and HLG capability will ensure that the pictures will be Vivid, vibrant, and lifelike.

Software and Features on BenQ SW321C

Additionally, if we look at the software features, Paper Colour Sync Technology can be considered a revolutionary addition.  With this feature, the possibility to calibrate perfect Photographs before printing becomes viable. Additionally,  This feature can help us simulate actual Printing Results before we print the pictures just by picking the color gamut, paper type, and the Printer model as a reference.  This can save a lot of time for photographers as they won’t have to just guess the result.

Moreover, 10-bit color depth available with this panel is very essential for smooth color Gradations. Additionally, a 16-bit lookup table (LUT) with over 1 billion colors will ensure that RGB blending is accurate. Additionally, it also supports third party Video calibration Software such as Calman and LightSpace that will ensure that the image will be consistent and accurate on all levels.

The uniformity feature included in BenQ SW321C will ensure that the whole panel is uniform in projecting the colors, depth, and brightness for the better viewing experience. If you use dual monitors than BenQ has made sure that you get uniform Visuals on all their monitors. To achieve that effect well-prepared instruments are utilized in every production line.

Ports on BenQ SW321C

The port selection of BenQ SW321C is quite good as well. You get 2xUSB 3.1 hubs, one SD card reader, 2xHDMI v2 ports, One 1.4v display port, and finally 60W USB-C port for Data and Power Delivery with a single cable. Though the placement for ports seems to be a bit lacking, we do get most of the things that we will need. Additionally, the Monitor comes with good quality Cables making it a complete package. For the thing, we are getting the final price to seem fairly reasonable.
