BenQ’s Latest Creative Series Monitor Accentuates Visual Details for Professional Designers

COSTA MESA, Calif. — Sept. 8, 2016 — BenQ America Corp.,  a leading innovator of professional displays, today announced the latest addition to its Creative Class monitor lineup. Engineered with professional designers in mind, the BenQ PD2700Q 27-inch monitor displays richer graphics with maximum color precision. The monitor comes equipped with a variety of specialized modes to optimize workflow and allow designers to achieve creative excellence, accentuating image detail for simplified editing, creating and visualizing.

“Designers understand the importance of color accuracy,” said J.Y. Hu, vice president, business line management at BenQ America Corp. “With the BenQ PD2700Q, they have a range of benefits that present their work in the best possible light while streamlining workflow. Packed with custom features, the PD2700Q offers incredible value, allowing designers to work efficiently while unleashing their creative energy.”

The BenQ PD2700Q monitor displays all the fine details at an impressive 2K QHD (2560 x 1440) resolution. The creative canvas features 10-bit depths of color and 100-percent sRGB color to represent a wider range of more than 1 billion colors. The IPS panel expands the working space and offers a wider viewing angle (178 degrees in both horizontal and vertical planes) with crystal-clear clarity and exceptional image quality at all angles.

Three premium display modes are tailor-made for designers to easily configure settings to best fit their working environment and reveal the finest details. The innovative dark room mode modifies brightness and contrast, creating the optimal setting for those designers working in darkened post-production environments. The CAD/CAM mode offers superior image contrast, allowing for lines and shapes of technical illustrations to stand out, especially when paired with design software solutions. The animation mode enhances details in dark shadows, allowing designers to fine-tune creations effortlessly without altering areas that don't need to be retouched. In addition, the animation mode offers 10 levels of display brightness for a clear working plane in any ambient light environment.

Furthering the optimization of a designer’s workflow, the PD2700Q offers multifunctional display capabilities for extra efficiency. This allows users to divide the monitor for side-by-side window viewing. Designers can also take application window multitasking to the next level with BenQ’s optional Display Pilot software, which provides enhanced desktop partition for multi-application viewing.

Designed to meet the demands of any professional environment, the PD2700Q is equipped to maximize ergonomic comfort. The monitor’s height, tilt and swivel are fully adjustable — allowing designers to see vertical layouts the way they are meant to be seen, with automatic full vertical monitor orientation. Providing the best visual comfort experience, BenQ’s Eye-Care features include ZeroFlicker™ to prevent the harmful effects of flickering and Low Blue Light, which filters out harmful blue light that can cause eye fatigue and irritation. Together, these technologies diminish eye fatigue and discomfort even after long hours of continuous work.

Packed with outstanding features at a great value, the BenQ PD2700Q monitor is available now and retails at $499. More information on the full line of BenQ products is available at   www.BenQ.us.
