27-inch 1440p IPS monitor for colour work
The BenQ SW270C is a 27-inch IPS display with a 2560x1440 resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It reproduces 1.07 billion colours at 300 cd/m2 brightness with a 1000:1 contrast ratio. Wide 178-degree viewing angles keep colours consistent from the side. This monitor suits photographers and designers who need accurate colour on a mid-sized screen.
Sustained colour accuracy at 60 Hz
The panel runs at a fixed 60 Hz refresh rate with a 5 ms response time. During long editing sessions the 300 cd/m2 backlight and 1000:1 contrast remain stable without the brightness drift seen in some high-refresh gaming panels. The 1.07 billion colour depth provides smooth gradients for print soft-proofing. Buyers who want high-refresh motion for competitive gaming will not find it here.
DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4 connectivity limits
Video inputs are DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI 1.4, each capped at the panel's 60 Hz maximum. Both carry the full 2560x1440 resolution at 1.07 billion colours. The older HDMI 1.4 port cannot drive higher refresh rates or HDR metadata. A 100x100 mm VESA mount is included for arm or wall installation. Users who need Thunderbolt daisy-chaining or USB-C video must choose a different model.
