Question 1

Can I use it with a PC that has HDMI 1.4?

Accepted Answer

HDMI 1.4 can output 4K but only at 30Hz. For full 60Hz at 10-bit, you'll need DisplayPort 1.4 or USB-C. If your PC only has HDMI 1.4, you'll be limited to 4K 30Hz.

Question 2

Is the 10-bit color depth true 10-bit or 8-bit+FRC?

Accepted Answer

The SW321C uses an 8-bit + FRC (Frame Rate Control) panel to achieve 10-bit color. It's not a native 10-bit panel, but in practical testing, gradients are smooth without visible banding.

Question 3

Does the SW321C have a fanless design?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the monitor is fanless, which makes it silent for use in recording studios or quiet editing environments. It does not have a built-in calibration sensor like the Eizo, so fans are not needed.

Question 4

Can I use the SD card reader for UHS-II cards?

Accepted Answer

The built-in card reader supports SD/SDHC/SDXC and UHS-I. It does not support UHS-II, so for high-speed card transfer, use an external reader.

Question 5

Does the monitor come with a calibration report?

Accepted Answer

Yes, each unit is factory calibrated and ships with a detailed calibration report (e.g., delta E values, gamma curves) inside the box. You can also download the latest report from BenQ's website using the serial number.

Question 6

Is this monitor good for digital art/illustration?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the high DPI (137 ppi) and wide gamut make it excellent for detailed digital painting, and the accurate color ensures your artwork looks correct on other devices. Just be aware of the low HDR brightness if you work with HDR textures.

Question 7

What is the warranty and does it include pixel policy?

Accepted Answer

BenQ offers a 3-year limited warranty, including coverage for backlight and pixel defects according to their zero-bright-pixel policy (any stuck-on bright pixel is covered).

Question 8

Does it support dual color spaces simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

No, but you can define custom modes and toggle between them via the OSD hotkey. It doesn't split the screen into different color modes like some Eizo displays.
