SW242Q New Product Launched | Redefine the First Choice of Professional Photography Display

On April 20, BenQ SW series officially released a new generation of professional photographic display SW242Q. As the previous generation SW240 For the upgraded model developed over the past six years, SW242Q has achieved all-round improvement in color control, color quasi durability and post photography experience. Redefining the first choice of post professional equipment also makes the post professional equipment more accessible.

BenQ SW series professional photographic display is specially designed for photographers and professional film and television creative groups, and has served more than 50000 professional photographers or visual creators in total. At the same time, BenQ SW series is also a judge machine for three consecutive (27th to 29th) National Photography Art Exhibition (National Exhibition). BenQ SW series has always been the identity symbol and synonym of professional photographers and post creators. The birth of SW242Q means that more photography lovers and visual creators with high demand for color can use professional post equipment to make post creation more convenient.

Strong color control

Each step of post adjustment is accurately reproduced

Post color mixing is often the key to the completion of photographic works, and whether it can accurately present the ideal color mixing effect in post creation depends on the color control of the display itself. In order to enable photographers to create good works that resonate in the later stage, BenQ SW242Q improves the color control of photographers in the later stage from the two aspects of [screen color performance control] and [later stage picture revision environment control], making it easier to achieve the color effect of "no more, no less, just right".

SW242Q has a built-in 16 bit 3D LUT color lookup table, which can adjust the color on RGB 3D coordinates independently, and also greatly improve the performance of neutral grayscale. With the same area of color gamut, SW series displays can resolve more colors. Through this powerful color analysis ability, the color rendering performance of the 10bit panel can be fully exerted. Ensure smooth transition of large area gradient color and delicate color rendering.

Compared with the previous generation upgrade, SW242Q uses the third generation of brightness and color temperature uniformity technology. In addition to dividing the screen into 25 areas for separate color temperature and brightness control, it also strengthens the control of screen edges to further enhance the color uniformity of the entire screen.

Most photographers do not have dark room color mixing environment, and too dark color mixing environment will also lead to visual fatigue of the repair artist soon. SW242Q allows photographers to enjoy the experience of painting in the darkroom in the daily light environment. SW242Q is the first time to use Rhine antireflection certified Fine Coated panel in a 24 inch professional photographic display. It actively reduces light reflection from the screen end, and is equipped with a flocking hood as standard. By absorbing ambient light surrounding the screen that may cause screen glare reflection, it improves the contrast of the ACR lighting room under the same static contrast, so that the screen can show clearer color details.

Higher color quasi durability

Make delivery smoother and communication easier

The monitor is the photographer's "eye" in the later stage. The monitor has been responsible for monitoring and drawing repair for a long time, and color fading is inevitable. BenQ SW series professional photographic displays have always taken color accuracy as the core product force to create an accurate color management and delivery environment for photographers. At the same time, BenQ SW also knows that the late revision of drawings is not an overnight effort, and hopes to provide photographers with long-term, lasting and stable accurate colors. In addition to [getting it right], we also hope that SW can become a [lasting color accuracy] helper for photographers in their long-term late revision work.

Each BenQ SW242Q has undergone rigorous factory calibration before leaving the factory, and the calibration time is higher than that of ordinary professional displays in the long run, to ensure that each preset color mode strictly conforms to the industry standard, and further raise the average color standard Δ E to within 1.5, truly realizing the accurate color that is ready for use out of the box and online. The photographer does not need to repeatedly compare and adjust the color between multiple devices, Improve the efficiency of delivery process.

At the same time, each BenQ SW series professional photographic display supports hardware calibration, which aims to provide users with the right to independent high-precision calibration. Displays that do not support hardware calibration can only be calibrated through Software The color information output by the color calibration and reduction limiting display card matches the condition of the display after color fading to output relatively correct colors, but in the long run, it will not be able to calibrate the complete color gamut, resulting in the color difference can not be solved.

The hardware calibration criteria will not limit the color information output by the display card, but calibrate the hardware of the display itself. Long term use can still maintain the overall performance including the color gamut.

SW242Q can match with BenQ's newly developed colors Management software The Palette Master Ultimate carries out rapid hardware calibration. At the same time, the SW series also provides users with free color calibrator rental services, truly realizing the freedom of color management.

Designed for post image creation

Only to optimize the creative experience

In order to provide photographers with the best experience of post editing, BenQ SW series professional photographic displays not only provide photographers with exclusive [editing mode], but also build SW into a [post editing workbench] dedicated to photographers from the perspective of appearance and industrial design.

As a late stage artifact on the desktop, SW242Q adopts a special size of 16:10, which is closer to the 3:2 ratio of the camera CMOS. At the same time, 24.1 inch is matched with 2K resolution, which can meet the photographer's ergonomic comfort to the greatest extent while ensuring high visual clarity. Just rotate your eyes to view the full screen, and your eyes are comfortable, as well as sitting and drawing.

BenQ SW series professional photographic displays cover 99% of Adobe RGB, Adobe RGB can provide photographers with more space for post editing, and is the most suitable wide color gamut for image processing that can be displayed by display devices at present. By using RAW format and Adobe RGB color gamut for post editing, the maximum color details can be retained, so that the final color of the film is more rich and bright. SW242Q can switch multiple color modes with one key through shortcut keys in the menu bar, and can also match ICC color management files automatically with color management software, so that photographers can accurately output in various project workflows.

At the same time, SW242Q still has built-in black and white preview modes with three different concentrations (gamma), which can facilitate photographers to quickly switch to neutral gray for light and shadow modeling and tone processing. Online shooting of tone preview and fine processing of post editing are inseparable from black and white mode. One key switch greatly improves the working efficiency of photographers in the early and late stages.

SW242Q has also greatly upgraded the efficiency design such as interface. A variety of professional peripherals are customized for photographers. While supporting type-C 90W reverse power supply, the SD card slot is still provided for photographers. The display itself is a docking station. From operation to connection, the efficiency of photographers is improved to the greatest extent.

As a sincere work of BenQ SW series for photographers and post creators, SW242Q is the first choice of professional post production equipment, making professional post production photography accessible.
