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 would use this monitor to edit my photos. I would use the dual view feature to see different edits of the same photo side by side. I cannot do this with my current monitor.

  2. I would use this monitor to help me with work because my current monitor is significantly smaller and it would make working from home a lot more manageable and efficient.

  3. I would use this as my gaming monitor because it is way bigger and better than my current monitor

  4. I would use it for creating 3D models, animating and vfx simulations! It would really improve my at-home workstation.

  5. I would use it to edit photos as well as watch movies on. It is bigger than my current monitor.

  6. I would use this monitor for digital painting; it is much bigger and has a much better resolution than my current monitor.

  7. I would use it for everyday tasks like checking e-mail and watching movies. The resolution is sharper than the monitor I currently use

  8. While I am not a designer and can’t claim to be one. The aesthetically pleasing and comfort viewing this will provide me for my work purposes as an IT freelancer are going to be golden. A 4K IPS resolution will be a much needed change for a strong primary monitor in my dual-monitor setup. I will be using this primary monitor to work on documents, editing and gaming and with my secondary for document comparison. Thanks for the opportunity!

  9. As a new photographer I still have to sharpen my skills on editing and i would use this monitor to wait my pictures and videos I take from my drone. It would be way better for me all of my current editing is done mostly on my brothers desktop.

  10. I would use it to transfer all the pictures I take and edit them. This monitor is a lot bigger than the one I use noe

  11. My current monitor is over 11 years old. It’s small, with outdated features and in sad shape. I’ll use it for all my computer needs but especially for photo editing.

  12. This monitor is perfect for Steam PC games. The resolution is far superior than the one I use now

  13. I would use it to watch Peter Noone, Herman of Herman’s Hermits live on Facebook every night.

  14. I’d use it to get in on more gaming. The monitor I use doesn’t give me an immersive experience like this one would

  15. This would be a welcome upgrafe as it is larger than my present monitor, split screen would be an asset as well.

  16. I would use it to help edit and update my various web pages that I have designed. It would be a lot clearer than my 2002 monitor that is only 16 inches and the split monitor would help with the before and after the edits to be sure the website is edited correctly.

  17. I would use it for watching my favorite Youtube videos. It is bigger than my current monitor

  18. I’ll use it for application and perhaps some photo/video editing.

    Oh, I’d also need a second. I like two monitors and I’d need to maintain some symmetry.

  19. I would use this monitor as a dual monitor (this one would be the main one, of course!) for some of the larger spreadsheets I use. Further, it would be my work monitor (as an extended desktop) while I use the other to have Google Meet/Zoom conferences so I can see people and work/takes notes at the same time. (I’ll also fit in some PS4 gaming on this one in there – don’t tell my wife and kids!) This one is EASILY better than my current by size (a full 5″ bigger) and because it is a glorious 4K which will truly bring out the power of my PS4 Pro. The contrast ratio is much better than my current and it’s BenQ, an actual reputable brand.

  20. This would be a great monitor for working at home where I could connect to my laptop to get a larger workspace. Open multilple apps without having to tab in between!

  21. I would use this monitor for photo and video editing as the family historians, we would be able to do a better job

  22. Would use this for playing games and watching movies. The resolution is much stronger than my current one

  23. I will use the monitor to create printed vinyl computer mods. The DualView setting of this monitor would give me a huge advantage over my current monitor.

  24. I will use this monitor to replace my current laptop monitor and it will be better because my current screen has the corners blacked out

  25. The monitor I’m using currently my laptop screen and a really old specimen that does not have HDMI. I’m honestly looking forward to the difference a high-end monitor provides.

  26. There isn’t a good handshake between my computer and monitor. Trying to deal with videos and pictures is rather painful at times.

  27. I would use this monitor to watch movies. I’ve been watching movies on a 17″ screen – a larger monitor would be so much better !

  28. This would be great since we are now working from home and this monitor is bigger than my current one. Will make reading documents easier.

  29. A little photo editing, a little gaming, and a little Skifree. I guess I could use it for work as well…

  30. Working from home this monitor will allow me to be more productive, and be easier on the eyes than my current one.

  31. I would use this to help me edit the videos i make for my family and its much bigger than my current screen which would be very useful when editing!

  32. With my old eyes, the extra screen size will help me play better online bridge, watch netflix and Skype with the Grandkids.

  33. I will use the monitor to go through my pictures. The BenQ DesignVue monitor is much larger in size than my present monitor.

  34. I will use this to Zoom with my grandchildren and it has a much bigger screen than my current monitor

  35. I’d use the BenQ for as a primary monitor for editing, larger screen size than my MacBook laptop.
