How is the BenQ holding up? My end game is printed work so I'm only interested in their new SW271 and SW320, both are 99% Adobe RGB and 4K. It seems like NEC is a standard so I'm wary of BenQ and Asus at the moment.


I added the NEC I want to B&H's cart, I'm seeing $35.42 shipping, $85.44 duties, $71.20 GST and $1 brokerage. What's really annoying is that they charge GST in USD. As of right now, it is cheaper in Canada but I'll keep my eye out a Black Friday deal.

Basically if you aren't going to buy a really good monitor with a LUT, you're better off going the other way, buying any decent IPS panel, and a cheap calibration puck - that will get you close enough if your work isn't color critical.

That's weird - here is what I am seeing and it's actually even cheaper than it showed me yesterday, and now it's showing me free shipping too:



With 1.3 FX though it's about the same as Canada right now.

5% is 5% whether its on a USD or CAD price

Weird it's showing that.

If prices are about the same, I'd rather just go with a Canadian retailer. I'm sure any warranty work will be easier.

I don't know why, but seeing GST in USD just seemed wrong. You're right, 5% is 5% regardless of currency.
