I could use some advice on my monitor selection. I am both a professional graphic designer and a photographer. When I get to retire in two years I hope to devote all my time to my photography. But my work as a magazine designer has me spending a lot of time in Photoshop editing my own images, or images provided by my clients. I just upgraded my computer to a 14 inch MacBook Pro with Monterey. I need a 27" secondary monitor to do my work on. In December, after extensive discussions with salesmen at B&H Photo, it was recommended to me to get the BenQ PD2720U which was on sale from $1,099 to $769.00. My goal was to able to have two profiles, one for design and the other for photography and to use Palette Master, the BenQ software with an i1display Pro to calibrate the monitor. BenQ has been good with support, they just told me my monitor doesn't work with Palette Master. And perhaps I should be in the SW series, which is more geared to photography. I need type to be very crisp since I design magazines.
Question: If you are using a BenQ monitor, do you like it? What model?
If you think another brand would be better for my specific need, what would you get. You can see I am not look looking for an inexpensive monitor, nor can I afford and Eizo. Thanks so much!

I have the SW2700PT model that I bought from B&H and I downloaded Palette Master to my iMac Desktop. I connected my Mac to the BenQ Monitor and it has been with me for 4 years now. Excellent for editing.
