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 forย 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. As a teacher, the BenQ DesignVue Designer would be an amazing addition to my remote teaching. It would also be awesome for my son who has been begging me for a monitor so that he can play his Xbox with his friends. Our current monitor has a funny line going down it that is very distracting when youโ€™re trying to work.

  2. I would use this monitor to edit videos on adobe. The extra resolution will be extra helpful, and my current monitor is a VA, which causes the colour temperature to be warmer. I think the colours on this BenQ IPS will be a big improvement.

  3. I would use this as an additional monitor at work as my laptop screen is so small, itโ€™s difficult to see, this larger size would be an improvement.

  4. I will use it as an extra monitor to stream aquarium videos, roaring fire videos, and other peaceful things while I use my existing dual monitors for healthcare work. It’s better than the page-a-day calendar I currently zone out and stare at.

  5. I would love a new monitor since I am working at home and my old one is failing! Thanks for the chance

  6. I will use it to edit photos and itโ€™s a lot bigger and has better resolution than my current monitor

  7. A larger monitor will be great for all my daily computer and online use: Word and Excel documents, photo editing and management; email, job searches, banking, social media, topic research, movie viewing, etc.

  8. I use Photoshop, so a professional grade monitor would be perfect for my usage. Iโ€™m already familiar with colour calibration and other colour management features. Iโ€™m sure that the BenQ would give me superior results.

  9. I will use it to enjoy entertainment during these lockdown times especially and itโ€™s a lot nicer and larger than my current monitor

  10. I would utilize a product like this Benq design vue 27 inch monitor for lots of photo and video editing for my Autism content.

  11. I would give this to my wife to upgrade her from a single monitor setup to a dual setup now that she has to work from home!

  12. I would use it to watch movies! The one I had is broken and I could really use a new one. Thanks so much for this chance!!

  13. I am working from home and my current monitor is a hand-me-down so its on its last legs. A new monitor will greatly appreciated to improve my working space and ability to continue to design.

  14. I will use it for my work from home setup. It will provide more screen estate than my existing monitors.

  15. I would use this monitor with my laptop while working from home. It is better than my current one because I don’t have a current one.

  16. I have a lot of photographs that this monitor would be ideal for editing, and the large size makes me envious compared to the much smaller monitor I am now using.

  17. I am finding it hard to work with only my laptop screen. Preparing online lessons and class Zoom sessions is what I would use this monitor for. I need it as it is so much larger than using only the screen of my laptop and the DualView setting would also come in handy.

  18. My current monitor is more than 10 years old and on the small side. I have a summer project planned which includes scanning, editing and organizing very old family photos and I think viewing and editing them on a larger, better quality monitor will make this task a breeze.

  19. My current monitor is my brothers and its 7 years old it was a nice monitor when it came out but I could always use an up grade plus my brother wants the monitor back eventually please help me have a nice monitor for my own.

  20. I am in my 70s and will have to accept that the BenQ DesignVue Designer Monitor is something that i am missing in a monitors performance.The one i have now is OK i guess,as i dont know what i could be able to do and see in this BenQ Monitor.

  21. As a teacher having to deliver classes remotely due to Covid-19, this BenQ DesignVue 27โ€ 4K monitor will provide enough real estate to have multiple student screens, documents, and web pages open at the same time. I will also use it to create digital art with Corel Painter. Last but definitely not least, my son will be blown away by the colours, clarity, and smooth, lag-free motion when he connects to his game system. Itโ€™s a million times better than my old 19 inch VGA monitor which just kicked the bucket a month ago. No comparison whatsoever!

  22. I will use this monitor for gaming. Itโ€™s an improvement over my own because of the higher resolution and the better colour.

  23. Iโ€™m looking to start a YouTube channel focused around VR content. I currently only have a laptop and am upgrading to a desktop. I would use the monitor for video editing as well as photo editing

  24. I would use this BenQ DesignVue Designer Monitor for CAD and rendering programs. It is better than my current monitor because it has a higher resolution, better contrast, and significantly better viewing angles.

  25. Working from home during the pandemic, I only have the laptop screen to use. It is small old budget laptop with a 13″ screen, but that is not the issue, it is the lack of contrast and brightness that have me looking for a second screen to use. However I cannot afford one at the moment. Working with graphics and CAD programs requires a bigger high quality screen and this would fit the bill perfectly.

  26. I will use it to do my work as a freelance writer and edit Youtube videos. My current monitor is something we found for free on Kijiji and it is tiny and has very bad graphics. This new monitor is huge and would allow me to breeze through all of my daily tasks as I could see them all

  27. First off anything is better than my current monitor because it is so old. I would love a well-calibrated designer monitor for editing pictures

  28. I will use it to play games during summer break and itโ€™s a lot bigger than my current monitor.

  29. I would like to use this for gaming. It is much better than my current monitor because it is much much larger.

  30. I would use the monitor for working on spreadsheets and emailing and it is a lot bigger than my laptop screen.

  31. My daughters are both useing a small very old monitor that my husbands work let him have when they upgraded the systems..I am not tech savvy but my girls certainly are…they are 9 and almost 12…trying to do all the school work online is frustrating because they dont have the proper type of device for it..they have both missed the class conference calls because no web cam ๐Ÿ™ ..they were looking forward to seeing their friends via video chat..they never complain about what they have or dont have..they are very sweet kind kids. Thank you for the chance to enter โ€

  32. โ€œI will use it to watch movies and itโ€™s a lot bigger than my current monitor.โ€

  33. I’d use this monitor for gaming, the vivid display would look amazing during racing games, it’s larger and way more crisp than my current monitor

  34. I would use it to increase my work-from-home productivity as it is better than my current 14โ€ laptop screen.

  35. I would be using the monitor for checking emails for employment opportunities, social media, and gaming. This monitor is better than the one I’m currently using because it actually has hdmi inputs and is HD. Also the power button wouldn’t be a hassle to use.

  36. I would use it to play Roblox – my favourite PC game. This would be better than my 20′ monitor

  37. I was using a 32″ TV as a second monitor when I started working from home almost 3 months ago. Since my wife started her maternity leave she took her TV back and I am stuck using my 15″ laptop monitor only and my work is suffering. I could really use this monitor while I am working from home (which will continue after COVID is over) and I need it since the larger size will help me to get my work done quicker each day and allow me more time with my new baby!

  38. I would use it for working on the game I am currently making. It would be a huge improvement because right now I have a 24 inch monitor and having a second larger monitor would be awesome for having multiple programs open at once.

  39. My current monitor is small and cracked thanks to the kids chasing the dog who scared the cat that jumped on to the shelf over the monitor but didn’t make it knocked over the monitor causing a small crack it the top right hand side. So if I won I would have a nice bright bigger monitor and the kids would love it for their schoolwork and I would find it easier to read my emails. Thanks for the chance.
