I'm mostly working/reading and casually gaming on it, don't really have time or craving for newest games so it was enough, but recent work really spurred me to get a bigger screen for eyes and watching pleasure. I wanted to get something solid, for when maybe I finally build a solid PC, but yeah... Eurostat Electricity Price (as of 1st Half of 2020), ** Consumption duration based on Initiative EnergieEffizienz (as of 2013) Image quality is where the 2470HSU puts in a good word for itself, or rather did until the dead pixels issue begun to arise, with an overall nice image aside from it looking a bit washed out in colour due to a lower than ideal sRGB coverage of about 95%, manually increasing the RGB channels by 10% each helped quite a bit though, but still, for an IPS display this really shouldn’t be necessary, at the very least calibrate the default settings better Iiyama. Now, it’s time to outline a few important factors and what they are by which all monitors should be judged by.
The first monitor I got was a Acer XF240QSbiipr - TN. I know, I know, life taught me already, that I should do my research before build literally anything so I read much (for a few days actually) about panels, hz, response rate, yadda yadda. I heard about worse colors, viewing angles and all that, but I haven't had any TNs in years (8-9?) personally, and the ones I had in my previous workplace weren't actually bad for normal text usage. I wanted to test out the function of the newest ones as well. It was ok, the hz jump was nice. Colors were ok after some fiddling in the settings - a bit I could have gotten used to it, I'm sure. But I needed it for vertical use - which on a TN was indeed abyssmal. Nevertheless, if I wanted a pure gaming monitor or even for just daily normal horizontal use, it would have been a nice buy. Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²).The Iiyama G-Master GB2470HSU-B1 is a monitor with a 23.8-inch display diagonal and a native aspect ratio of 16:9. It features an IPS panel type, which offers wide viewing angles and accurate color reproduction. The display resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels, providing Full HD clarity for your visual content. Additionally, the monitor offers a wide horizontal viewing angle of 178°, enabling comfortable viewing from different positions.
There are various panel technologies. Each has its own specific features - viewing angles, color reproduction, response time, brightness/contrast, production cost, etc. The image quality depends directly on the type of the display panel used. With those important factors covered it’s time to get into the usage tests, the 2470HSU performed superbly in the Blurbusters UFO ghosting test but I’d expect no less from an IPS display. Although I will note that for an IPS display the default settings are a bit washed out, I’ve never experienced this before from an IPS display and is undoubtedly down to sRGB coverage not being quite as high as it should be. You can alleviate the issue thanks to the advanced OSD settings that let you individually increase colour saturation of the RGB channels but still it is none the less an indicator of the IPS panel not quite being up to snuff which is disappointing.

In the end, I was happy to spend 16k on this monitor. I got everything that was important to me from him: an excellent monolithic height-adjustable stand that firmly holds the monitor on the table; a good ips-matrix with a high-quality picture with natural colors and really minimal illumination for ips-matrices; 165 Hz. The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene. Size class of the display as declared by the manufacturer. Often this is the rounded value of the actual size of the diagonal in inches. To begin with, I have been using IPS monitors for nine years. About Iiyama, I always thought it was a brand of expensive luxury monitors for professional use (artists, photographers, designers, etc.). In my opinion, this was the case before – they did not have monitors cheaper than 250 US dollars. But, apparently, they have recently re-branded and decided to enter the wide market. So in choosing this monitor, I intuitively counted on a product with quality standards higher than competitive brands in the same price range. The calculation was justified by 100%.
Novice users need to be aware that iiyama ships this model with the FreeSync Premium support turned off by default, which is strange. The only interruption on the front is a circular blue LED that can also be switched off via the OSD. OD”, TraceFree” (Asus monitors) or “Overdrive” etc. as it may also be called is a pixels ability to respond to changing from one colour to another, the faster the transition response, the less ghosting or pixel overshoot a monitor will be susceptible to with fast moving objects on screen. Depending on the monitor and refresh rate an overdrive setting that is too weak or too strong might result in ghosting or overshoot, not all monitors have a good Overdrive implementation though causing severe ghosting and blurring, so be mindful of that. Speaking of inputs, the panel supports FreeSync Premium DisplayPort between 48-165Hz and HDMI between 48-144Hz. Nvidia's G-Sync also works - the monitor is not on the official list, mind - evidenced by smooth performance in the Pendulum demo. I actually just wanted to share my story and maybe listen to other peoples choices and experiences with something similar as well. Approximately a month ago I began the search for a new monitor - for the last years I've been using an 17,3'' Laptop, so a jump to about 24'' would already be a big step. In terms of supported graphics resolutions, it works with 1920 x 1080, making it an excellent choice for Full HD content. The contrast ratio, both typical and dynamic, is 1100:1 and 80000000:1 respectively.

Information of the number of pixels in a unit of length. With the decrease of the display size and the increase of its resolution, the pixel density increases.
Information about the minimum amount of time, in which the pixels change from one color to another. Very often the manufacturer provides the response time for transition from grey-to-grey (G2G). The stand provides up to 130mm of height adjustment, which is enough to offer portrait mode at the highest setting. 18° of upward tilt and 3° downwards is standard and it stays fixed in position firmly. Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. The surface is matt.I am not a fan.I will never forget some of my IPS Dell with a glossy screen.Constant wow effect when viewing, even when you yourself are reflected as in a mirror because of the sun.It was very similar to the screen of good smartphones.Color saturation was off scale.Then I discovered that not everything matte is cool. The explosion in PC gaming has provided significant opportunities for a host of manufacturers. The monitor guys haven't been oblivious to this trend, and iiyama's strongest growth has come from its gaming-focussed division.
Good color calibration as is, from the factory.Yama’s experience in the production of professional equipment certainly makes itself felt.There was almost nothing to twist in Lutcurve.Better than there is not to do.The monitor initially shows the picture as well as it can.In the end, in fact, I only reduced the amount of green.But I saw an excess of green, in my opinion, on all my monitors, so I suspect that the moment is purely subjective. The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively.
