The SW240 will be available in May and is the most affordable monitor in their offering, with a perfect price point for amateur photographers, students and hobbyists, looking to perfect the color in their workflow.

As the frontrunner of the professional monitor industry, BenQ has never slowed down but sought out further improvement for photographers, especially in the respect of the quality of color reproduction, viewing comfort and user convenience. The SW240 is no different; with its 99% Adobe RGB wide color gamut which offers an impressive range of vibrant colours, it’s the perfect piece of professional equipment, where the user can save money against other similar spec models, without a compromise on quality. With the help of BenQ’s Palette Master Element Calibration software, users can tune and maintain the color at its most optimal state and adjust the image processing chip in the monitor without changing the graphics card output data. It keeps the images consistent with its original copies, without being affected by graphic settings.

The SW240 has a perfect screen size for photographers to do their work with ease. With a 24.1” 16:10 panel, it can display two full A4 pages plus tool palettes, for photographers to easily compare the content on the screen. The BenQ team always seeks the easiest way for our users to use a monitor; by upgrading user experience, they have developed a new OSD hotkey (Color Mode HotKey)for switching 
different color modes smartly and with ease, which is ideally located on the bottom edge of the monitor. Also, the SW240 has its edge-to-edge ultra slim bezels, allowing photographers to set up a dual-monitor workspace for an impressive view.
