The BenQ SW242Q is a 24.1-inch PhotoVue monitor created for colour-managed photography and screen-to-print workflows. Its 2560 × 1600 IPS panel combines 99% Adobe RGB, 98% P3 and 100% sRGB coverage with Delta E ≤ 1.5 accuracy, a 16-bit 3D LUT, hardware calibration and BenQ Uniformity Technology.
Built for colour-managed photography
The SW242Q combines professional colour coverage, hardware calibration and a 16:10 WQXGA workspace with dedicated screen-to-print tools, giving photographers a compact display for editing, retouching and soft-proofing workflows.
99% Adobe RGB colour coverage
The SW242Q covers 99% Adobe RGB, 98% P3 and 100% sRGB, supporting wide-gamut photography and other colour-sensitive creative work.
Delta E ≤ 1.5 accuracy
BenQ specifies an average Delta E of ≤ 1.5 and includes factory calibration, providing documented out-of-the-box colour accuracy for professional workflows.
16-bit 3D LUT
A 16-bit 3D lookup table supports precise colour blending and tonal transitions, helping the display reproduce subtle colour differences across photographic content.
Hardware calibration
Hardware calibration allows compatible calibration software and equipment to adjust the monitor's internal colour processing rather than relying only on graphics-card output adjustments.
Third-Generation Uniformity Technology
BenQ Uniformity Technology helps maintain consistent colour accuracy and brightness across different areas of the panel for more dependable image evaluation.
Fine-Coated Nano Matte panel
The Nano Matte Fine-Coated Panel is designed to reduce distracting reflections and provide a paper-like viewing effect for screen-to-print work, with TÜV anti-reflection certification.
Paper Colour Sync
BenQ Paper Colour Sync software helps photographers preview supported paper and printer combinations on screen before printing, assisting soft-proofing workflows.
90W USB-C connectivity
The USB-C connection supports DisplayPort video, data and up to 90W Power Delivery, allowing a compatible laptop to connect and receive power through one cable.
Integrated card reader
The built-in card reader supports SD, SDHC, SDXC and MMC media, providing convenient access to compatible memory cards from the workstation.
KVM switch
The built-in KVM function allows compatible connected computers to share keyboard and mouse peripherals through the monitor, helping simplify multi-computer workflows.
GamutDuo
GamutDuo allows content to be viewed using two supported colour-gamut settings side by side, providing a convenient way to compare colour presentation.
Professional colour validation
