Anti-glare shading hood for SW240 photography monitor

Dedicated Protection for Color Accuracy

Designed to effectively reduce the unwanted glare resulting from ambient lighting, the SH240 shading hood is perfect for the SW240 PhotoVue photographer monitor. By using the SH240 shading hood, the color accuracy of photographers’ photos can be assured. The SH240 shading hood can be used in both portrait and landscape orientations.

Purpose-chosen materials to eliminate glare

Anti-glare Material

To reduce reflected light, BenQ team had carefully selected the material for the SH240 shading hood. We’ve found the special kind of fluff that can absorb the most light to avoid disturbance from reflected light to the photographers so that they can focus on the displayed colors.

User-friendly monitor shading hood design for professionals and photo editing

User-friendly Design

SH240’s user-oriented design allows photographers to easily mount and remove a calibration sensor when running a calibration. Each component of the shading hood has its own markings to help users assemble with ease.

    Customers are mixed about the value of the monitor. Some mention that it's a very good product for the money, while others say that it was a complete waste of money. Some say that the quality control is awful and the tool they insist on using is awful.

    Customers have mixed opinions about the ease of setup of the monitor. Some mention that it's easy to setup and easy SW/HW calibration using Xrite, while others say that it takes some learning to understand the setup of controls, it'd be a bit annoying to put together and take apart again. The product instructions and manuals are overly geared towards windows users, and the cable connection documentation was difficult to decipher.

    "...ConsThe PriceEasy to set up but difficult to accurately calibrate - You must watch many YouTube videos or read reviews for accurate..." Read more

    10 customers mention4 positive6 negative

    Customers are mixed about the brightness of the monitor. Some mention that the backlight is the evenest they've ever seen, and the screen is non-glare. Others say that the monitor other than the amount of backlight bleed, this screen light modifier only shads out room light, and has poor contrast and uneven colors. The display is darker at the edges and can't hold deep shadows and highlights. The panel suffers from light leak and disturbs color accuracy.

    "...Display is darker at the edges which I do not like but apparently is typical for this type of display...." Read more

    "...great user interface (I love the puck), outstanding image quality, even backlight, no backlight bleed. It's superb for work and leisure...." Read more

    Glorious for photo editing, but hardware calibration a bit buggy on Windows
    4 Stars
    Glorious for photo editing, but hardware calibration a bit buggy on Windows
    Perfect screen and great uniformity when tested with stand alone software. A perfect monitor for photography. All the advertised features check out so I won't go into those details. This is about the best you can get for photography without dropping $5,000+. That said, if Eizo had a 32" 4K CS range monitor at this time, I might have gone with that one instead. But this BenQ is still close to as good as it gets.One thing, the hardware calibration with BenQ's Palette Master Element software is pretty darn buggy on Windows but works well on Mac. I've been working around color calibration software buggyness on Windows for almost 20 years... It's a common problem, so I'm not sure this all BenQ's fault. All calibrators seem to have quirks on Windows. I can say the BenQ hardware calibration is a good and long one. Unfortunately it doesn't offer uniformity test though. I ran that first with X-Rite software before I dove into the full setup.Part of my problem was Windows installed a 2017 BenQ monitor driver first even though I had installed the download driver for this monitor before plugging it in. It fixed after some reboots while I was mucking with settings. Come to think of it, I think it fixed itself when I changed to the BenQ USB 3.0 A/B cable.Oddly if I set "Output dynamic range" to "Full" in Nvidia control panel, the hardware calibration fails. If I set it to "Limited" the calibration looks fantastic and at least reports crazy low deltas (0.3 avg, 0.67 max). I'm not sure why I can't use "Full" range nVidia settings with this monitor. My other monitor connected to the same Windows machine (ViewSonic VP3881 sRGB+) does its hardware calibration just fine at 10-bit with output range set to "Full". This impacts the darkest/lowest range, allows more near-black detail when set to full theoretically. I believe I can see more gradation steps at the low end on the cheaper ViewSonic monitor but I'm not certain of this. It's not a big deal, but the OCD in me will try again some day. It's possible this doesn't matter depending on how the BenQ is doing things with hardware and software I suppose. The Calibration could be failing because some conflict happening. There is definitely a wider color gamut on the BenQ than the sRGB+ Viewsonic, not yet sure about bid depth though. Pretty happy though.I've been doing a lot of printing with this monitor so far. I would say while a large gamut monitor isn't required for printing anymore since some of the sRGB+ monitors are so good, it does still help. And it is amazing to look at images from a quality modern camera in the gamut that this BenQ covers. Photo editing in wide gamut is more enjoyable than it ever has been thanks to improved monitors, 4K workspace, and the improved depth and quality of RAW images. Big step up from 10 years ago.I did some Photoshop black to white gradation tests and confirmed we are in 10-bit/30-bit (3 channels). It doesn't have the banding on either monitor that you see in 8-bit mode. I'm just not sure I have the full bit range yet at the low end on the BenQ. I suppose I can test this by skipping hardware calibration next time and see what runing a software calibration using X-Rite's software that came with my i1Display Pro Plus produces. (Please add a comment if you know what's going on here with "Full" range causing hw calibration fails.)The hood comes in about 9 pieces and is a bit annoying to put together and take apart again for storage. Everything needs to slide and snap together. A bit cumbersome. It does the job but a hinge based solution would be better IMO. I'm not one who uses a hood all the time since my room lighting doesn't force me to, but I like hoods during calibration.
