RIOT OF COLOURS

I have been in the Indian IT industry since 1993 working for a few IT companies like TCS, i-flex, and Sutherland Global Services. Since 1st April 2018, have taken a break from the corporate lifestyle and have been enjoying life and spending time on my hobbies. Photography is something I was always interested in. It is primarily a play of light and being a Physics student, it was always a fascination for me. It won’t be wrong to say that “with easier access to digital technology, photography has reached the masses”, and I am one of the beneficiaries here. Within Photography, Birding is my preferred category. With my interests in nature, have participated in the following training programs by the Bombay Natural History Society: • Ornithology • Leadership in Biodiversity • Bird Migration Studies and Study Techniques

BenQ’s DesignVue series monitors, as the name indicates, are created for graphic designers who need a reliable display for colour-critical applications. Since graphic design and photography are closely related, the roles and means are often shared, and hence this review. Please note that since the monitor has only been launched in the market recently, the detailed specifications were not made available to Smart Photography, and so this review is based on our experience and the limited data available.
