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%. 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. 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. 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 maximum number of colors, which the display is able to reproduce, depends on the type of the panel in use and color enhancing technologies like FRC.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. 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. The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen. 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. Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image.
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. In my instance, there is an unpleasant sound like a squeak when the monitor is turned off or in standby mode.At night, when the apartment is quiet, I hear the sound even a few meters from the table, if you listen specifically.Doesn’t affect my overall satisfaction with the monitor.Now, it’s time to outline a few important factors and what they are by which all monitors should be judged by. So yeah, that's the story. Anyone got similar experiences where they tried so many monitors in such a short time? Or any infos on iiyama and their quality? Do you think I should keep it or try getting a replacement (I'm a bit scared of getting much worse glow or more dead pixels on the panel - tho I do debate getting a second same iiyama G-Master just to compare if it would be better/worse)? Will the dead pixels 'summon/kill' more of their siblings XD? Let me know your thoughts/stories below.
Great Deal
