The BenQ SW321C 32-inch 4K UHD HDR PhotoVue LED IPS Photographer Monitor has been built for those who require 4K UHD colour accuracy, with support for 100% of the sRGB and Rec. 709 colour gamuts, 99% of the Adobe RGB colour gamut, 95% of the DCI-P3 and Display P3 colour gamuts, and HDR10 and HLG. Driven by BenQ's AQcolor technology and a resolution of 3840 x 2160 with a 60 Hz refresh rate, the SW321C helps deliver improved accuracy and productivity using 10-bit support for 1.07 billion colours, a 16-bit look up table (LUT) that improves RGB colour blending, and Delta E≤2 in Adobe RGB and sRGB colour spaces for a more representative view of the original image.
The SW321C features In-Plane Switching (IPS) technology, an anti-glare panel coating, a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio, a static contrast ratio of 1300:1, a dynamic contrast ratio of 20,000,000:1, a 250 cd/m2 brightness rating, 137 ppi, and a 5 ms (GtG) response time. Using the 178° horizontal and vertical viewing angles, it is possible to watch content from virtually any position. There are also two HDMI 2.0 inputs, one DisplayPort 1.4 input, and one USB Type-C port that supports DP alt mode, audio, device charging up to 60W, and data transfer speeds up to 5 Gb/s. Additional connectivity is achieved using two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports (downstream) and one USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-B port (upstream). Audio can be output using the 3.5mm headphone jack.
BenQ's SW321C also supports HDCP 2.2, Picture-in-Picture (PiP), Picture-by-Picture (PbP), Advanced Black & White Mode, which lets users preview different black and white presets to preview photos, a GamutDuo Mode, which lets users preview the same photo side by side using two different colour gamuts, native 24p/25p frame rate playback for film and video editors, and colour consistency across dual monitors. Additionally, Uniformity Technology helps deliver corner-to-corner authentic colour and luminescence, while Paper Color Sync simulates printing results using your desired gamut, printer model, and paper type. To further help improve viewing and accessibility, it features a vertical tilt of -5 to 20°, a left/right swivel of ±45°, a pivot of 90°, and a height adjustment of 5.9". It is certified for Mac, Windows 10, 8.1, 8, and 7, and is verified by CalMAN and Pantone validated.
BenQ is dedicated to absolute colour accuracy. SW series displays deliver industry-standard colour performance for photo and video editing.
Eliminate the stress of the guess. From capturing the image to the retouching process, to the final print, every step is critical. SW321C is uniquely equipped to deliver a streamlined, smooth retouching-to-printing process. Refined, simulated previews let you rest assured that what you see is what you print.
Uniformity Technology
BenQ Uniformity Technology offers screen-wide precise colour from corner to corner. This is accomplished by meticulously fine-tuning hundreds of sub-regions on the screen for balanced brightness and absolute confidence.
Multiple Monitor Consistency
BenQ ensures monitors from different production lines will display colour at an identical level. Photographers and videographers will perceive consistent colours when working on dual monitors.
Capture nature's beauty. SW321C meets high colour standards by covering 99% Adobe RGB, 100% sRGB/Rec. 709, and 95% DCI-P3/Display P3.
The 16-bit lookup table (LUT) improves colour blending for precise reproduction. Delta E ≤ 2 in Adobe RGB and sRGB colour spaces assures accuracy.
Access more than one billion colours, natural shading, and smooth colour gradations with SW321C’s 10-bit panel.
SW321C’s Paper Color Sync and A.R.T. (Advanced Reflectionless Technology) panels deliver unmatched ease and efficiency to preview photo prints accurately.
Paper Color Sync, a BenQ proprietary software, generates simulated images attuned to the colour settings, printer, and photo paper in use. A.R.T. panels, a global technology debut by BenQ, diffuse light to minimize reflection and enhance visual clarity. You’ll enjoy on-screen display with nearly identical properties to printed hardcopies.
With BenQ Paper Color Sync you can edit photos with efficiency and confidence in a time-saving screen-to-print process by selecting the colour gamut, printer model and paper type to get an on-screen preview which faithfully reproduces the final colour output.
With Paper Color Sync, you can confidently retouch your photos on our colour-critical SW series Photographer monitor to get the satisfactory results saving you the time and efforts from repetitively comparing your photos against your monitor.
Digital photography requires precise, refined tools. SW321C helps pros get the best results with HDR support and multiple video formats.
SW321C is compatible with HDR10 and HLG formats. Preview the HDR effect of video content during the editing process for your best results.
Preview video without pulldown or distortion. SW321C supports 24P/25P film content shown at native cadence for a seamless display.
SW321C supports world-leading video calibration software CalMAN and LightSpace. Users can adjust the 3D LUT for image accuracy and consistency.
With the use of Palette Master Element and a calibrator, you can tune and maintain the colour performance of the monitor at its most optimal state.
Hardware calibration counts. Since a monitor is being used for longer periods of time, it will exhibit the phenomena of reduced brightness and colour shift more or less. To accurately represent the tones and colours of the photos on the screen, apply hardware calibration on a regular basis is necessary. That’s why you need suitable software to support it and BenQ has developed the software Palette Master Element. After a display is carefully hardware calibrated, it allows precise control when manipulating images for realistic or stylized results
Palette Master Element, BenQ proprietary software for hardware calibration, assists to hardware calibrate your monitor. It simplifies calibration process and produces accurate colour results. With its minimalist user interface, you can finish your hardware calibration just clicks away. Apply Palette Master Element to fine-tune the colour engine on SW series monitors to fully support X-Rite / Datacolor colorimeter.
*Supported Platforms: Win7 or above, Mac OS 10.6.8 or above
*Supported Calibrators: X-Rite i1 Display Pro / i1 Pro / i1 Pro 2 & Datacolor Spyder 4 / Spyder 5
Start with the correct default profile, white point and luminance for monitor calibration. It’s easy to achieve colour accuracy with a simple user interface.
Your professional colour calibration completes with customized RGB primaries, white point, luminance, gamma and black point settings to get more refined adjustments
Each SW321C is individually calibrated for precise Delta-E and Gamma performance. Average Delta E≤2 in both Adobe RGB & sRGB colour spaces assures absolute colour precision and accurate representation of original images.
SW321C earns CalMAN Verified status and is Pantone Validated. Creative professionals demand excellence, and BenQ delivers.
