Work Modes
The monitor integrates features to increase productivity. DualView mode displays designs in two different colour modes side-by-side, making comparison easy. The Animation function increases the brightness of dark areas while maintaining a balanced exposure level in light areas. CAD/CAM mode is designed for technical illustrations and provides high contrast for lines and shapes. Other modes, such as Darkroom and ePaper, adjust the display for working in a dark environment or for comfortable text reading. A built-in KVM switch allows you to control two computers with one set of keyboard and mouse.
Detailed Picture with AQcolour Technology
At its heart is a 27" IPS panel with a 3840×2160 (4K UHD) resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. The refresh rate is 60Hz and the response time is 5ms (MPRT). The contrast ratio is 1,200:1 and the brightness is up to 350 cd/m². Thanks to AQcolour technology and factory calibration, the monitor covers 99% of sRGB and is Pantone and Calman certified. The matte display surface reduces glare and BenQ Uniformity technology maintains consistent colour and brightness across the entire screen.
Monitor Ergonomics
The monitor stand provides extensive positioning options to customise your workspace. The user can smoothly adjust the height, tilt the screen forwards and backwards, or rotate it 90 degrees to a vertical position using the pivot function. This rotation is practical when working with long documents, programming or editing portrait photos. All these features help you find the right position, thus reducing physical strain during long work sessions. For alternative mounting methods, the monitor is fully compatible with VESA 100×100mm mounts.
Eye Protection and Other Features
The monitor uses BenQ Eye-Care technologies that actively reduce eye fatigue during prolonged use. Flicker-Free eliminates the invisible backlight flicker that strains the eyes. The blue light filter reduces emissions from the harmful light spectrum. The effectiveness of these protective features is proven by certification from the independent company TÜV Rheinland. Also included are built-in speakers for basic audio output. In standard dynamic range (SDR) mode, the monitor has a G energy rating with a power consumption of 45W.
Connectivity Options
The monitor offers flexible connectivity options for computers and other peripherals, with the modern USB-C interface serving as an all-in-one universal solution. The package includes DisplayPort, HDMI and USB-C cables, so the device is ready to use right away.

Colour Gamut
Determines how accurately a monitor can display colours. sRGB is ideal for web, movies or games. DCI-P3/Adobe RGB is appreciated by graphic designers or professionals at work. The higher the stated value, the better the monitor displays colours. Maximum Brightness
Given in nits or cd/m², this value determines the brightness of the monitor. Brightness above 400 nits is key for HDR content and readability in sunlight, while values above 250 are sufficient for standard office monitors. Refresh Rate and Response Time
Refresh rate (Hz) determines the number of frames displayed per second, so the higher the value, the smoother the image and the less eye strain. A lower response time (ms) value eliminates motion blur. 144Hz+ is ideal for gaming, while values around 75Hz are suitable for office monitors.Specifications
