if you recruit a professional out there chances are you're satisfied working with the monitor or monitors of your choice I'll be honest with you I love editing videos on my Delpy 2715 q4k monitor it has served me well for more than two years now and my reasoning behind choosing that panel was obviously the UHD resolution and the icing on top of that was the IPS display 10 bit support with a display that supported 99% of the srgb color gamut but that wasn't cheap and it came with the cost of $700 and that shouldn't be a concern for most professionals since it is a necessity to produce content that's color accurate and at the end of the day that's their source for generating revenue but if you're starting a career as a creative professional on your own you might be looking for affordable options that won't sacrifice features and I think thank you has something for you but before that quick look at our sponsor light up your build with hue plus by NZ XD it fits into two and a half inch drive slots comes with four individually controlled RGB strips with plenty of connection cables for best routing and is wonderfully controlled through the camp software get 10% off at NZXT comm link in the description this is the PD 2700 Q 27-inch monitor what's impressive about this panel is its price at $500 and the features that come with it might be an attractive option for you creative professionals out there more specifically you're getting a 2560 by 1440 resolution IPS panel with native 10 bit support and 100% coverage of the srgb color gamut if I were to put this in simple terms these specs are very comparable to the P 2715 Q except for the resolution but I'll get to that in a moment from a design standpoint there's not a lot going on here which is good for blending into a work environment the bezels are not flush with the screen but the build quality is pretty robust in my opinion the screen is matte coated and it did a great job diffusing reflections even in a bright room it's not as pretty as some of the LG monitors that we've taken a look at but let's be realistic here how many of you care about aesthetics for a monitor leave a comment down below the assembly process was fairly simple the Stan came attached with the and attaching that to a baseplate was just a matter of tightening the screw to it if you prefer to vase amount this panel the only option here is a hundred millimeter setting so keep that in mind the stand offers 25 degrees of tilt swivel and even landscape to portrait configuration there's also a 130 millimetres of height adjustment and the stand comes with a flat base so if you'd like to sort items off your desk you have that option taking a glance at the i/o we have two USB 2.0 downstream ports followed by a single upstream port but it's 2016 so I would have preferred USB 3.0 moving on we have a 3.5 millimeter audio output mini DisplayPort full-sized DisplayPort and HDMI it would have been nice to include a type-c connector but at this price point I'm just going to waive it for them on a positive note they do include HDMI mini DisplayPort to display port and USB 2.0 cables these six physical buttons to adjust the display settings were located behind the right-hand side of the monitor when one of them is pressed you're greeted with a quick setting like brightness input picture mode and the last option is to dive in deeper into the OSD which is where you can adjust the contrast sharpness gamma color temperature and the option to reset the color the picture Advanced tab is loaded with different profiles like rec.709 srgb cad animation low blue light output option for darkroom setting eco and custom user profile now check this out guys there's a dual view option where you can set half the screen to display the picture profile of your choice for example I can have the left side of the screen output and srgb profile and on the right I can opt for a CAD profile you see Bank use marketing this monitor to be as flexible as it can so which satisfy the majority of creative professionals out there and the results do speak for themselves there's also system settings that you can play around with especially if you want to assign custom keys and now to answer the most important question how does the display perform and what's the experience like using one of these it's fantastic when compared to the P 2715 Q I notice the colours on the bank you wear a bit warmer and there should be obvious since I've enabled the srgb color profile on it compared to my custom profile on the Dell everyone has their own taste when it comes to profiles for displays and this monitor is certainly flexible for the end-user viewing angles were excellent with no contrast or color shift but rather the color reproduction throughout the panel from side to side top to bottom was just amazing and this was expected from an IPS panel it sharp easy to get accustomed to and perfect for content creators I also noticed just a slight amount of back bleed around the corners but it's very minimal so in reality it's not a big deal I did my testing by spending some time opening a previous premiere projects that have worked on edited a few recent voiceovers and created thumbnails for recent videos it was just like using my Dell 4k monitor and I'll be honest with you that monitor was scaled at 150% to to its 4k resolution so technically it was just like using a 1440p display and that made me realize something given the sharpness of the 4k screen Windows still has a bit of catching up to do with its scaling plus there wasn't a lack of screen real estate using the bank you monitor even when scrubbing through a video timeline so for editing in general you'll be happy using the PD 2700 Q monitor now if you're into photography this is probably where the 4k monitor reigns supreme over the thank you especially when you're editing high resolution RAW files but there isn't a significant difference between the two and I'm sure most of you would be more than happy to edit on the bank you monitor now what about gaming for those time when you need to take a break from editing well this is a 60 Hertz screen that doesn't have free sync or G sync so don't expect miracles however its color depth and excellent contrast ratio sure makes games look really good so there you have it a wonderful new addition from banku for a relatively affordable price point targeted towards creative professionals I actually have the PD 2700 Q paired with the eurocom tornado f5 for my second workstation setup and it's primarily going to be used for testing hardware and maybe editing short videos that don't require intense CPU and GPU usage the gram spectrum keyboard by Tesoro comes with a new mechanical agile switch with low profile key caps with super fast response and shorter actuation distance plus all the customization included with RGB lighting and macros for a premium user alright question for you guys what are your thoughts about the PD 2,700 cue from thank you it's not a gaming monitor by any stretch of the imagination but for you creative professionals out there would this be an attractive option or are there any alternative solutions that you might be interested in let us know in the comments down below I mean bird hurricane axe thank you so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one
