The AQCOLOR Advantage

BenQ AQCOLOR technology delivers “Accurate Reproduction. ” This translates to the display of color precisely as it is intended to appear. Led by a color expert, the BenQ team took part in the ICC and ISO to establish color-related standards and implementation guidelines.

Gold Standard Color

BenQ is dedicated to absolute color accuracy. SW series is engineered to deliver optimal color performance for photography and video editing.

10-bit color depth

Access more than one billion colors, natural shading, and smooth color gradation with SW240.

14-Bit 3D LUT and Delta E ≤ 2

The 14-bit 3D Look Up Table (LUT) improves RGB color blending accuracy, resulting in impeccable color reproduction. Having Delta E≤2 in both Adobe RGB and sRGB color spaces renders the truest and most representative view of the original image.

Professionally Factory Calibrated for Exacting Color Accuracy

Each BenQ Photographer Monitor is individually factory-calibrated upon production to assure precise Delta-E and Gamma performance. Achieving an average Delta E≤2 in both Adobe RGB & sRGB color spaces, calibration results are validated against industry color standards to deliver the truest and most representative view of original content.

Calman Verified and Pantone Validated

BenQ professional monitors are Calman Verified and Pantone Validated. Creative pros demand excellence. BenQ delivers.

Hardware Calibration

Hardware calibration allows you to adjust the image processing chip in the monitor without changing the graphics card output data. It keeps images consistent with its original copies without being affected by graphic settings.

Palette Master Element Calibration Software

With the use of Palette Master Element and a calibrator, you can tune and maintain the color performance of the monitor at its most optimal state.

The Ideal Monitor for the Photography Novice

Affordable, professional equipment that’s ideal for those who are beginning or looking to further their photography skills. Accurate, factory-calibrated, out-of-the-box color means you can get set up quickly, easily, and more cost-effectively, leaving you more time and money to perfect your craft.
