BenQ 27" PD2700U - designer monitor

Computer monitors, like the many created by BenQ, are an essential part of our daily life for work and play. We all love a large, clear, vivid display when working or playing games. Visual artists, especially, need a well-calibrated designer monitor that delivers an accurate representation of colours. BenQ is a brand creatives are familiar with and have trusted through the years. You can check out the selection of great BenQ monitors online at Best Buy, then enter for a chance to win the amazing 27 inch 4k designer monitor shown above.

BenQ designer monitors are perfect for every visual artist.

This monitor is perfect for someone who relies on delivering quality visual products. BenQ DesignVue Designer Monitor is sharp, bright, good contrast, and pre-calibrated out of the box, this monitor is made for artists. In a different article, I talked about how editing can improve your photography instantly. When editing photos it is important that you are using a calibrated monitor to make sure that your colours and contrast represent the photo exactly how you want. Having a 4K monitor also helps you see all the details in your photos and gives you a higher appreciation of photography, especially if you are using a high megapixel camera where it captures every single detail on its frame.

DualView Setting

One of the features that I love about this monitor is the DualView setting. This allows you to split the monitor into 2 different colour profiles. Features like that make a monitor like this help professionals create high quality digital and printed products by showing what the photo would look like on print or on different screens, so your work will look consistent where ever you see it.

What else can a great monitor do for you?

Other than editing photos, videos, or creating graphic arts, this monitor is also great for watching movies or simply just doing an everyday task like emailing, setting up your website, or writing. It has HDMI & DisplayPort which allows you to connect it to your computer and do another device, perfect for working and switching it to a console game monitor when you need a break. Jacob made a review about this exact same monitor where he gets into more details about this monitor.

  1. I will use the monitor for playing games with my friends and doing my design work.

    BenQ makes the best monitors. Its colour accuracy and quality will be a huge improvement from my current monitor!

  2. I would use this monitor for my home office! It’s been difficult using a 13” laptop to work on large spreadsheets

  3. What an upgrade this would be! Lets get to know our current monitor, shall we?

    1) Attacked by small humans – they thought holding magnet to it “creates pretty colors”
    2) Has fallen off desk many times so the connections in back are off-centre and you have to tilt monitor to align
    3) Still useable, but that crack in the screen makes the Windows Start Button unviewable
    4) NO HDMI connection! Oh the humanity!

  4. I will use this monitor to work from home I can have my databases I use on this screen and my laptop from work as main screen makes copy and paste a breeze and it is a great size. Thanks for the chance

  5. I would actually give this to my son who is putting together his own gaming computer and could use a wicked little monitor to play on. If I won that is.
    Thanks for the chance,
    Mishelle G

  6. I would use this monitor in my home office. Anything beats my current 10 year old 19 inch monitor!

  7. I will use it regularly for split-screen photo and document editing; the size and resolution are a welcome upgrade from my current monitor.

  8. I will give it to my very deserving son who has been doing his homework on his computer every week without being asked! ( he really needs a new monitor! )

  9. I would use it as the primary screen of my home office and it will be perfect alternative screen when I play games.

  10. I would connect it to my laptop when I’m home and it is far better and much bigger than my laptop’s screen.

  11. I will use it to make working at home more pleasant. It is bigger and crisper than what I currently have. Makes me miss the monitors at my office.

  12. I would use this monitor for gaming, I play world of warcraft every day and my monitor is over 14 years old 🙁 I need a new one.

  13. I’d love to have this monitor for gaming. The resolution on mu current monitor is very poor.

  14. I will use it regularly for split-screen photo and document editing; the size and resolution are a welcome upgrade from my current monitor.

  15. I would use this as my primary monitor and move my current one to secondary. It’s better than what I have due to the virtually all the performane/resolution specifications.

  16. I love taking pictures of my grand kids and I would love a bigger monitor to edit these pictures.

  17. I would use this monitor as a second screen for my laptop. I would be able to have multiple screens readily available to cross reference information while I work or watch a movie while I am playing games on my laptop. It is better then my current monitor because my laptop has a 17″ screen so this would be a lot bigger and I don’t have a second screen available right now.

  18. My current one is worn out. I’d use it as a second monitor to my MacBook for my programming lessons.

  19. The colour accuracy and respresentation in this monitor is so good. It’s bigger and more accurate than what I’m using now which is from the stone age!

  20. I want to take some online classes in web and graphic design to upgrade my skills. I would LOVE a new monitor because I am currently using a much smaller one that was actually a hand-me-down from my husband.

  21. I would connect this monitor to my laptop to stop me from hunching over!! It’s much larger than my current one and way better quality!

  22. I do a lot of Photoshop work, and I’ve struggled with the picture/color quality on my second monitor. This would be fantastic!

  23. I spend hours every day looking at laptop monitor. If I had this monitor I would connect my laptop to it to ease the eyestrain.

    This monitor is better than my current one because I only have the laptop display. It would be amazing to have a proper sized screen for getting my work done.

  24. My work involves a fair bit of graphical editing, plus i enjoy playing video games with my kids, so it would serve to huge roles.

    This monitor is better than my current one in every way. i’m working with a 4 year old, 24″ monitor and the colours have been getting worse for a while.

    The BenQ DesignVue would be a most welcome addition.

  25. My screen at home is pretty small – a big 27 inch monitor would be perfect for working from home, lots more screen real estate!

  26. My old monitor doe not have clear crisp colours for watching movies, but I would love the new Ben Q as it has precise clarity and colours which which be great for photos and movies.

  27. I’ve been working form home on a laptop with a very small screen. This would definetly help make working a bit easier.

  28. It’s a lot bigger than the present one I have and I will be using it to work from home.

  29. Wow as we get older seeing is getting harder and a bigger screen would be better not only for our eyes but my back as i have to lean in to see!!!!!

  30. I would use it to edit films and I want it to make my laptop setup similar to a desktop setup

  31. I mark-up large mechanical drawings, it is very difficult to see the big picture when using my small Microsoft Surface screen. My speed and quality of work will increase as a result of using this new screen

  32. I will use it to edit movies and pictures it’s a lot bigger than my current 19″ Benq monitor which is still going strong being 15 years old

  33. I would use this monitor for my photoshop creations. My current monitor has a crack in the screen. The screen and goes black and flashes on and off randomly. It takes forever to start up when I turn on the computer and it’s bulky.

  34. I’m in school for graphic design so I would use it a lot for both personal and school related projects and also to watch netflix when I’m not working!

  35. I’d use it to edit photos, to surf the web and to enter contests. It’s a much bigger better quality monitor than the one I have which is getting old

  36. This monitor would greatly help me with my schoolwork. I’m doing a Masters in Public Health, which involves a lot of researching. As I don’t have a monitor, I currently do all my work on my laptop. Since I work with windows open side by side (research article on one side, my paper on the other), a monitor would greatly help me as it is much bigger than my little laptop and would greatly assist me!

  37. I will use this monitor as a second monitor because since I started working from home, I only work from one monitor (laptop). It would make my job much easier to have the two monitors that I am used too and a bigger screen for spreadsheets is more nicer.

  38. I will use this monitor for video editing. It has much better colour accuracy and depth than my current monitor!
