I don’t do 4k or 8k video and have no desire to watch video/TV content on a screen that close to me. In these days of super high resolution screens, I’m going to say that for general working I prefer the lower PPI of this 1920 pixel wide screen. (Note – At the time of writing, I see the SW240 being offered in the US with a free hood) The BenQ hoods fit very easily (see my other reviews) but I’m sure that if you’re really on a tight budget and wanted to use the SW240 in a bright environment, you could make one from black art board -) Not too much actually – reminding me that I never used one for the first 25 years of my image editing history. I use a monitor hood with the main monitors in my office, so did wonder if I’d notice the lack of one with the standard SW240. Even that is much less noticeable if you’re properly square on to the screen. The IPS screen is pretty even, with only a slight falloff along the very bottom of the screen I tested.

This means that if I swap from C1 to C2 I need to swap the active profile in my System Preferences – this is why meaningful profile names matter.įor the ‘quick sRGB check’ I don’t bother, since web display colour management still remains an area of unpredictable mystery (made worse by phones).įor video, you might want different settings groups, but the nice thing is that you have all the options. The ICC profile is what applications (such as Lightroom/Photoshop) use to ‘know’ what to display. Swapping the calibration does not change the active ICC profile for the screen. With my Macs, there is one thing to note about swapping calibrations on the monitor. – ‘Quick check’ of what images will look like to many web users My own set of three ‘quick select’ options are: The standard setup includes a B&W mode for the screen – I do a lot of B&W work, so prefer to do conversions from colour to B&W under my control. The quick selection button offers three settings to be used.
