As a chronic migraine sufferer, THANK YOU for including the minimum brightness reading. Literally went through all your monitor review videos and gave them each a thumbs up.
this monitor is ultra bright not for people like me i was at 0 brightness and white color still was too bright to me i returned it cause it was unbearable
I might be a bit late, but I really appreciate the review. I was looking to get a monitor for my first pc build and didnt want anything too expensive so I went ahead and looked at some reviews like yours. You told litterally everything that is important. I got this monitor and it is as good as you said it was. Thanks!!!
I'm not looking for a monitor anymore as I'm very happy with my BenQ EX2510 which I bought on your advice, it's still great to watch your videos about other monitors though!
I own one. It's a good monitor. I had some coil whine on HDMI but none on Display Port. As an added incentive they have a 1-month no dead pixels guarantee, which is really awesome because even if you have only one faulty pixel you can return them the monitor and ask for a new one. Other manufacturers don't do this. You need like 2-3 dead pixels or other significant faults.
Thank you for the honest review bro. I got two of these, both had several dead pixels. And I can confirm that the stand is too big and not ergonomic at all. I returned both and got the xv272up thanks to your precious advice ;) and very happy with it, it's perfect
@Ronghua Yin hey bro I’m considering buying the monitor that you have the benq 2510s how good is it on a scale on 1 to 10 and have y had any problems with it
Great review once again! A few months ago when i was looking for a monitor i discovered your channel and saw the requests to review this model. I remembered iiyama from the CRT times, and after digging around the internet i decided to get it. I am super happy with it, glad i went with an IPS instead of a VA, perfect for CS, but also for other stuff, as i have only one monitor.Also i really like how it looks, no cheesy red accents and racing gamer crap, it looks great on a monitor arm. Luckily for my OCD my unit has no coil whine. Was hopping u would review it to get an icc profile, that really sets your reviews apart from the rest. For me you have the best monitor reviews on RUclips, keep up the good work!
I have one question for you if you have it, how do i turn the monitor on like for the first time? I'm not really technical and need help about this thanks (sry for the copypasta i just need quick help)
@@FilipFCB Sorry, i only saw this now. I do not understand what do you mean , you just press the power buton on the back of the monitor ,it's the botom one.
I have one question for you if you have it, how do i turn the monitor on like for the first time? I'm not really technical and need help about this thanks
I've bought this monitor but in only "G" version, the shop told me they don't have it in stock and they'll send the "GB" which left me suprised. When i received it I was worried that it might have the coil whine issue, but it doesn't. The design works great for me, love the minimalistic look. The stand is indeed too big, I have a shallow desk and its really far from the wall, making it take almost half of my desk depth and the screen is not far from my face. The colors are good, just good, when looking at my Legion 5 2021 screen it looks subjectively better. I have some backlight bleed, but it's not awful. And what's really important for me, the screen is really responsive and the ghosting is minimal for the price. TBH i bought it because of your review, it seemed to tick all of my boxes, but i was worried about all the negative comments about this screen and the fact that you've got the monitor straight from iiyama which might suggest you got a golden sample.
hey man. what overdrive settings you're using? I noticed horrible ghosting at default 0 option, turned it off and it helped, but still can't say if t's ok and every 2470 has this problem.
OH MY GOD I BOUGHT THIS TODAY 6 HOURS AGO BEFORE THE REVIEW!!! But with Amazon Renewed for 100€. My AOC 24G2U died (bought with your video) and I was in panic because was the first model and I was in love, you give me very good news with this review. Love your work!!!! The only thing that can hurt me with this monitor would be the minimum brightness...
@@memedoni Well, I prefer the AOC, because the minimum brightness is lower (so you can use in darkness without crying) and AOC has a much better speaker. But I need to pay 190€ again for the AOC and only 100€ for iiyama!
@@hillman9730 Yeah, I'm reading your message with this monitor! For the price that cost me (100€), was a bargain. There are two things that bother me: - When monitor is connected to AC, but PC is power off, it does a little bit of white sound. - Lower brightness, THIS IS THE WORST OF THE MONITOR BY FAR (and the one that really matters), specially if you use at night, my older AOC has less lower brightness, at night I suffered this a lot at start, but now I'm used to this. So, I'm happy with it because in everything else is amazing (colors, contrast, response time & refresh rate, little frame, stand adjustable and rotative, two usb for having my bluetooth and mouse dongles, FreeSync running fine by DP with a GTX 1070, and I had lucky and doesn't have big light leaks). I think that the worse thing that can hurts from this monitor, is just the lower brightness and what can you get for the same price, for example if I need to buy this monitor or AOC 24G2U (older panel I had, not the newer, you can find both on techless channel) I would repeat with the AOC if they're on the same price, if it was like 170€ (AOC) vs 140€ (iiyama), I would go for iiyama with no doubt.
With your advice I bought the MSI G241 during a sale for £70 GBP off the original price, I cannot wait to try it out, great video and review as always. :)
i have two of the G-Master G2470HSU fast IPS monitors by iiyama... had mine a year now and im very happy... both cost me around £144 each back in early 2023... very fast panel... once you calibrate the monitor the colour reproduction is excellent... i do use this setup to edit photos in Affinity Photo... for gaming the panel is lovely... vibrant and sharp rock steady images with no ghosting or artifacts... everything looks great... i bought mine from Ebuyer UK... i didnt want the 27" version as that was slightly too big for my desk... anyways im very very happy! i did have an iiyama Vision Master Pro 19" CRT monitor back in 2001 which was fantastic so i always held the brand in high regard since then...
I looked into this monitor before seeing this review. When I got the G version of this monitor (non adjustable) I realised something: The stand. The stand is the same look as yours on the G version, but the GB version I saw had a completely different design (like a C shape). The stand on your model is like mine, however the stand is smaller and it doesn't protrude much at all. I can only surmise that the reason for this is because it is adjustable it needs a little more stability, especially for orientating. Excellent review btw. Very concise - to the point, detailed in the right areas. Good breakdown of settings and some helpful suggestions. I downloaded your ICC profile as well. The image really is good out of the box. I did reduce my brightness to 30 though. Edit: yes the speakers are horrendous.
Maybe I missed it somewhere in the video, but I wanted to know if the monitor does 120fps/1080p through the hdmi port? I'm asking, because I want to get this for my ps5, but I can't find any info online. Also I really like your videos and think you're extremely underated, hope this video gets a bit more publicity, you deserve it.
I purchased a G2770HSU a couple of weeks ago for.£155 from Amazon Warehouse. A small bit of bright leak on the lower right side, but I can live with that as it only seems to appear on dark loading screens. The stand size is definitely annoying tho, I promptly bought a clamping gas sprung arm with height, swivel, tilt & rotation.
I've got the B5 version (better stand) and MY GOD, finally a screen that is not KILLING your eyes. i can look at it with minimal lighting. I had the first 24G2 who at the end is way too strong, especially the bright colors. This one is really good. Thanks for the video, adjusted your settings and the image is wonderfull. G-Sync works fine without issues with Display port. Honestly screens with 410 Nits like the 24G2sp should not be available, this is simply danger for the eyes. Reducing brightness gives a fuzzy image. This one is until now the best gaming monitor i've tested.
im using a 240hz 14440p 27 inch one right now and the colours seems a bit washed out to me, ive owned 360hz TN pannels too so i know what bad colours look like, support for iiyama monitors is terrible too, there was 1 good review on my monitor that i could find, perhaps good as a 2nd monitor but definitely not insane, good price however
thanks for explaining this stuff and doing tests, especially recommending some settings. however i wish you explained more what the MBR/strobing mode is for
Got this monitor by accident (wanted the adjustable one but was to lazy to return it) and i felt it was a bit off with the colors (my first ips panel). After some time i got used to it and now im pretty happy. Also i can feel your pain to hit the power button more often than any other one. Great Review Btw are u from gemany bc u sound so :^)
I think a review of the Lenovo G27q-20 could be interesting. It's a 27" 1440p 165hz IPS G-sync certified monitor that's regularly on sale at the 250-300€ range which is super cheap given the specs. There's basically zero in-depth english reviews of it though.
For all the guys asking them this question, YES NVIDIA G-SYNC (VRR) works like a charm, ofc no other benefits from g sync but still, works very well in good range 45-165 hz. Cheers!
I Buy this monitor today, load your ICC profile and settings. Does iiama have software for control brigghtens and other stuff, i cant found on web? P.S. this is one of the rare channels that it has such high-quality content which is not influenced by sponsors and marketing, Good luck in your future work. EDIT: I found on Microsoft Store app: Monitorian, and that is all i need :) Best Regards!
In march i bought aoc 24g2u - got 2 dead pixels, decided to give a chance for this one, and couldn't be more happy. Perfect in every way ( except the speakers, hehe ). And for me, it looks better than aoc.
@@gorkemalbayrak6408 Just tried to turn it off, and yes, there is small hiss sound, but i hear it just when i put my ear next to the back side of the monitor. I think it is normal, even my speakers makes the same noise 🤷♂️
Thanks a lot for overdrive settings recommendation I thought I got a bad unit because default was looking so bad (horrible halos) on 60hz connected to a laptop. Regarding brightness, setting Blue Light Reducer mode to max (Mode 3) in OSD menu and Night Mode in OS(Windows) makes it completely usable in a dark room with no other source of light. I know it's not the same as reducing brightness but it's a compromise that works.
Wow, I'm so surprised this monitor isn't popular, I'm definitely going to purchase it and I'll make sure to use your affiliate link. Thanks so much for recommending it!
Yep it should. Iiyama as a brand should get more love overall, swapped all my monitors to iiyama for gaming and office purposes - and never looked back. People rather keep supporting brands that's ask more and give less but oh well, not my loss. 🤷
Iiyama's best times in which they made one of the best CRT-Monitors were in the days of CRT-Monitors(up to today the best monitors, no input lag, no tearing, no backlight bleeding, no black color issues, no IPS glow, no TN viewing angle issues, no VA issues etc...). However, Iiyama in our newer TFT times became an average Company. For me as an old school gamer till today CRT 4life! I tested some of the best TFT monitors on the market in real world gaming, but they never reaches the performance of an CRT monitor, it's unpossible. The peformance of CRT's are often tried to be copied , but up to today never have been reached.
Got this one (well not this one, the other one with the less interesting stand) thanks to this review, expected to arrive in two days. I've only used 60hz monitors so far, last monitor that I bought was in 2012, so it was time already. I've been looking through hundreds of models and reviews, my first option was the Gigabyte M27Q because I also wanted a resolution upgrade, but too expensive (€350) and seems like many other budget 1440p had different issues so I decided to settle with 1080p for now keeping it as cheap as possible. This was €148 in Amazon with condition 'as new' (it's from their warehouse), let's see how it goes.
@@tevinparker8189 I have no complaints so far. The unit was basically new, no dead pixels. As for performance, I can notice the higher refresh rate even on the desktop. Unfortunately I have only played Tarkov so far and my fps are too low (Ryzen 1600 AF and unoptimized game, deadly combination) so I don't think I'm taking advantage of it. I haven't noticed any noise when turned off like some reports said (I don't remember if this video talked about it). Due to the tiny bezels I had to get used to the feeling that the screen wasn't using full space, it bothered me for a few days especially if you come from an older screen with big bezels.
Great review! There is also a new refresh for this monitor called: "G-Master Red Eagle GB2470HSU-W5" - white version & "G-Master Red Eagle GB2470HSU-B5" - black version Would be really amazing if you could review that one. It is even cheaper than the version you reviewed. I wonder how this refreshed vesrion compares to that one you reviewed. From what I can gather its the exact same panel? edit: theres currently no english reviews on youtube for the refresh.
This is a brilliant review, covering exactly the properties I was interested in. I'm looking for a budget monitor for both gaming and photo editing. This one seems like a contender. Kudos and thank you!
Managed to damage the panel on my AOC24G2 so here I am :( Sold out everywhere where I live and I'm not fond of a 27". Thanks for the extensive review. Looking like the perfect replacement.
Thanks so much for review and settings. Just one question - is ICC profile used with changed rgb settings in the monitor menu (R-49, G-49, B-58) or without?
Bought the MSI G241 and i am super happy, contrast very high for IPS panel, no bleeding, a tiny clouding on the top. Thank you! I think it's perfect 144hz buget option for someone who dont need speakers and has VESA arm already (default one is metal solid but not much adjustment option just tilt). Edit: Gigabyte just launch g24f and this can be very good also!
I have a quick question, which monitor is faster and is it that much difference? I wonder about iiyama GB2470HSU and AOC 24G2SPU. I know that AOC have wide gamut, but is it faster or slower than iiyama?
Have found this monitor and was intrigued by the price tag so I looked for a review. Yours helped a lot and I really like the way you showcased data and the way you filmed. Your voice sounds very familiar, are you by any chance also the guy behind "LOLNEIN"? :) Regarding the monitor I opt for the 27" variant of this (G2770HSU-B1) which has the inferior stand because it costs only 9 € more (189,90 € as of today) and I plan on getting a dual monitor stand anyway.
I own this monitor for +/- 1 year now, i chose this monitor because of the 165Hz and 0.8ms was the best choice for budget and performance view at that moment. I'm thinking about buying 2 more of these for eyefinity gaming and using it for working from home. In my opinion this is the best full hd gaming monitor atm, changing the i-Style options is abit annoying from the backside but that's all I can think of.
@@hillman9730 yeah still using it. I have 3 of these monitors now. There is indeed abit of coil whine as they discripbe it. I dont use the monitor speakers, im using a gaming headset. Its good there is anything of a speaker in it but i would not use is as your primary speaker.
I have this monitor for close to a year now and I haven't once accidentally turned it off when looking for menu xD I am using the monitor A LOT, everyday, at least 6 hours and max 20 of course
@@hillman9730 Hi! yeah, sure I am! I like it, there are some more reviews on the internet, you might want to look for them. I think it's a pretty decent monitor, although I don't think that I have a lot to say because I basically use whatever I happen to have, and I haven't been using many monitors in my life, well except for the cheapest used ones I could find on the internet LOL :D I am overall happy with it. But again, I am not very picky.
I just got this monitor to replace the LG 24GN600-F as it makes a humming/buzzing noise at the full 144Hz and immediately the Iiyama GB2470HSU-B1 I can tell is a better monitor, colours look spot on right out of the box except for gamma, the LG was good but needed tweaks all over to get it right. Only thing really "bad" about the iiyama so far is having to use buttons to navigate the OSD thats a real pain in the arse compared to a nice little joystick. The monitor doesn't support Win10 HDR either so if thats a thing for you look at the LG, not that HDR should be on your checklist for monitors like this as at best you'll get a HDR10 capable monitor which is crap anyway. Definitely set OD to -1 if you run 165Hz as well to clean up those fast moving images. USB ports are handy to have too for things like LED mouse mats and decent USB microphones, internal power supply vs. external AC brick is also a big plus IMO.
True, I was looking at this monitor as it is higher HZ and is almost the same price in the uk as the GB2470HSU. I would love to see a review of this one.
@@markgrayson7428 I actually got the Dell S2522HG because it was for 179 pounds from 250. It was such a good deal and the monitor is super good ngl I really recommend it if you can get a good deal on it.
I'd like to see msi g242 review as well. Someone on reddit said it shares the same panel as AOC 24G2U v2. Unfortunately there is no reviews of MSI g242 on the internet right now :(
@@CheeseBeluga yeah AOC 24G2 V2 and Msi g242 has same panel...im looking to buy the msi g242 since Aoc has returned to make only the older version of AOC 24g2 and i couldnt find a new version in my region.
Hey ! Slightly off topic but do you think I can buy the AOC 24G2U now and get the V1 ? It will come back in stock the 8th of July on Amazon but I don't know if it will be the V1 or V2. Great video btw
HI Its me Again:) Does your monitor has the problem with NOISE when turned off or in standby mode? Some people complain about this. Is this like the problem for one or for all.
Got this monitor and im pretty satisfied though i have to admit that any fps is almost unplayable for me with overdrive on -1 idk why but the motion blur is too strong. On overdrive +1 or +2 it feels fine and i dont notice any inverse ghosting or stuff like that ingame. I also thought about getting the Mobiuz (used for around 200€) for the better backlight-strobing. Is it really that much better than the one on the iiyama? And can you use backlight-strobing along with the bluelight filter on the Mobiuz?
Is it possible to turn down color calibration sliders to lower the brightness even further independently of the backlight (at the expense of the color accuarcy, of course)?
It's possible, but using the contrast slider instead or turning down brightness through the graphics card control software would make more sense. Though all of those methods will significantly decrease the contrast ratio.
@@hillman9730 alright thanks! I recently found out that this monitor can display very beautiful colors but I haven't touched the monitor settings. (Besides the bright start up) Have you got the best settings? Thank you for your time btw!
I am not sure should I buy this one, Philips 24M1N3200ZA/00, or Dell G2422HS. I am looking for Full HD monitor 24', 165 hz monitor. Need it for gaming.
Hey, I bought this monitor this weekend after watching a lot of your videos. It arrived today, it's a great monitor however when the screen is in Stand-by mode/turned off it makes a pretty loud coil whine sound. Do you know of any way to fix this? I dont want to have to unplug my monitor every time after using it.
@@orze7218 Yep, can't fix it but I solved the problem with a c13 to c14 cable, just switch the monitor on and off with that. It's even easier to reach than the regular on/off button
Can someone explain what is best brightness and contrast to we put on this monitor i mostly use this monitor for gaming . I play a lot Pubg any can guide me a bit and give me some advice what is best for it thanks all best .

im using a 240hz 14440p 27 inch one right now and the colours seems a bit washed out to me, ive owned 360hz TN pannels too so i know what bad colours look like, support for iiyama monitors is terrible too, there was 1 good review on my monitor that i could find, perhaps good as a 2nd monitor but definitely not insane, good price however
thanks for explaining this stuff and doing tests, especially recommending some settings.
however i wish you explained more what the MBR/strobing mode is for
just recently discovered your videos they're sick, probably going to get this monitor as it suits me almost perfectly :D
Got this monitor by accident (wanted the adjustable one but was to lazy to return it) and i felt it was a bit off with the colors (my first ips panel). After some time i got used to it and now im pretty happy. Also i can feel your pain to hit the power button more often than any other one. Great Review
Btw are u from gemany bc u sound so :^)
Great to hear that you enjoy the monitor now (minus that power button of course...). And yes, I'm from Germany.
I have this same monitor, on color settings I increased the saturation colors and I prefer much more how everything looks.
Outstanding review, this is the gold standard in monitor reviews.
I think a review of the Lenovo G27q-20 could be interesting. It's a 27" 1440p 165hz IPS G-sync certified monitor that's regularly on sale at the 250-300€ range which is super cheap given the specs. There's basically zero in-depth english reviews of it though.
Looks like the perfect monitor for new gen consoles
@@reubanramsden6230 Sadly not for the PS5. It can't output 1440p
For all the guys asking them this question, YES NVIDIA G-SYNC (VRR) works like a charm, ofc no other benefits from g sync but still, works very well in good range 45-165 hz. Cheers!
I Buy this monitor today, load your ICC profile and settings. Does iiama have software for control brigghtens and other stuff, i cant found on web? P.S. this is one of the rare channels that it has such high-quality content which is not influenced by sponsors and marketing, Good luck in your future work.
EDIT: I found on Microsoft Store app: Monitorian, and that is all i need :)
Best Regards!
In march i bought aoc 24g2u - got 2 dead pixels, decided to give a chance for this one, and couldn't be more happy. Perfect in every way ( except the speakers, hehe ). And for me, it looks better than aoc.
do you hear coil whine sound when monitor on standby and when monitor is off ?
@@gorkemalbayrak6408 Just tried to turn it off, and yes, there is small hiss sound, but i hear it just when i put my ear next to the back side of the monitor.
I think it is normal, even my speakers makes the same noise 🤷♂️
@@donataspalevicius hi does the sound stop when you use your monitor?
Thanks a lot for overdrive settings recommendation I thought I got a bad unit because default was looking so bad (horrible halos) on 60hz connected to a laptop. Regarding brightness, setting Blue Light Reducer mode to max (Mode 3) in OSD menu and Night Mode in OS(Windows) makes it completely usable in a dark room with no other source of light. I know it's not the same as reducing brightness but it's a compromise that works.
Great review as always ! TY !
The minimum brightness on this monitor is quite high, but the blue light reducer setting on it helps lower it a bit further.
just unboxed, yay can confirmed this is def too bright for me. Gotta check these settings
thank you for this hint about blue light reducer
What does Brightness 3* means on 7:09???
Very goog review with a lot of technical analysis! I am thinkig of buying this monitor to connect it with my laptop for gaming sessions ...
Wow, I'm so surprised this monitor isn't popular, I'm definitely going to purchase it and I'll make sure to use your affiliate link. Thanks so much for recommending it!
Hey! How is your monitor now? Do you use it? Thank you.
@@hillman9730 i ended up getting gifted a better monitor second hand
@@hillman9730 ye i do, it’s good
Yep it should. Iiyama as a brand should get more love overall, swapped all my monitors to iiyama for gaming and office purposes - and never looked back. People rather keep supporting brands that's ask more and give less but oh well, not my loss. 🤷
Iiyama's best times in which they made one of the best CRT-Monitors were in the days of CRT-Monitors(up to today the best monitors, no input lag, no tearing, no backlight bleeding, no black color issues, no IPS glow, no TN viewing angle issues, no VA issues etc...). However, Iiyama in our newer TFT times became an average Company. For me as an old school gamer till today CRT 4life! I tested some of the best TFT monitors on the market in real world gaming, but they never reaches the performance of an CRT monitor, it's unpossible. The peformance of CRT's are often tried to be copied , but up to today never have been reached.
Great review 👌! I have one question...Does GB2470HSU-B1 support G-sync?
It does, no worries
@@sadiwanv716 Thanks 👍
Got this one (well not this one, the other one with the less interesting stand) thanks to this review, expected to arrive in two days. I've only used 60hz monitors so far, last monitor that I bought was in 2012, so it was time already. I've been looking through hundreds of models and reviews, my first option was the Gigabyte M27Q because I also wanted a resolution upgrade, but too expensive (€350) and seems like many other budget 1440p had different issues so I decided to settle with 1080p for now keeping it as cheap as possible. This was €148 in Amazon with condition 'as new' (it's from their warehouse), let's see how it goes.
How's it going so far?
@@tevinparker8189 I have no complaints so far. The unit was basically new, no dead pixels. As for performance, I can notice the higher refresh rate even on the desktop. Unfortunately I have only played Tarkov so far and my fps are too low (Ryzen 1600 AF and unoptimized game, deadly combination) so I don't think I'm taking advantage of it. I haven't noticed any noise when turned off like some reports said (I don't remember if this video talked about it). Due to the tiny bezels I had to get used to the feeling that the screen wasn't using full space, it bothered me for a few days especially if you come from an older screen with big bezels.
@@ferkator Hey! How is your monitor now? Are you still using? Thank you.
@@hillman9730 Yes, I'm still using it. No problems so far. I don't have any other high refresh monitor to compare so I guess everything is fine.
@@ferkator ok. thank you for your reply!
Great review! There is also a new refresh for this monitor called:
"G-Master Red Eagle GB2470HSU-W5" - white version
&
"G-Master Red Eagle GB2470HSU-B5" - black version
Would be really amazing if you could review that one. It is even cheaper than the version you reviewed. I wonder how this refreshed vesrion compares to that one you reviewed.
From what I can gather its the exact same panel?
edit: theres currently no english reviews on youtube for the refresh.
One thing I found out on this monitor, it only supports 165hz if the DP is used, otherwise you only get 144hz on HDMI.
No, it does support 165hz with VRR via HDMI. Source: I use it like that right now
@@bilarus695 how? the hdmi 1.4 support 144hz and on their website is listed as 144hz on hdmi you lucky
I bought this 2 months ago, very happy with the purchase, was 205€. Great for playing casul games aswell as competetive titles like valorant.
2 years later, its still an interesting monitor, it has much better contrast then the newer 240hz version.
This is a brilliant review, covering exactly the properties I was interested in. I'm looking for a budget monitor for both gaming and photo editing. This one seems like a contender. Kudos and thank you!
This review is amazing, thank you a lot
Managed to damage the panel on my AOC24G2 so here I am :( Sold out everywhere where I live and I'm not fond of a 27". Thanks for the extensive review. Looking like the perfect replacement.
i broke my aoc 24g2 too haha
Thanks so much for review and settings. Just one question - is ICC profile used with changed rgb settings in the monitor menu (R-49, G-49, B-58) or without?
Bought the MSI G241 and i am super happy, contrast very high for IPS panel, no bleeding, a tiny clouding on the top. Thank you! I think it's perfect 144hz buget option for someone who dont need speakers and has VESA arm already (default one is metal solid but not much adjustment option just tilt).
Edit: Gigabyte just launch g24f and this can be very good also!
eyes don't get tired? Is the minimum brightness comfortable?
@@ЮраВоробьев-щ7л no, but i do not use it in completely dark room i have my desk lamp always on and its rly well
Hi, which is the better monitor between Iiyama GB2570HSU-B1 or Benq Mobiuz Ex2510S ?
Great Review. Thank you. 👍🏻
Could you test the Gigabyte G24F?
I hope so ✌️
I have a quick question, which monitor is faster and is it that much difference? I wonder about iiyama GB2470HSU and AOC 24G2SPU. I know that AOC have wide gamut, but is it faster or slower than iiyama?
Very well made review! I'm only curious about color depth is it 6+frc or true 8 bit?
6+frc
Have found this monitor and was intrigued by the price tag so I looked for a review. Yours helped a lot and I really like the way you showcased data and the way you filmed. Your voice sounds very familiar, are you by any chance also the guy behind "LOLNEIN"? :)
Regarding the monitor I opt for the 27" variant of this (G2770HSU-B1) which has the inferior stand because it costs only 9 € more (189,90 € as of today) and I plan on getting a dual monitor stand anyway.
Thanks! And man that "Windows Update Song" lives rent free in my head right know. Thanks for pointing me to that channel 🤣
@@techlessYT You're welcome :D
@@techlessYT Does it mean you are the guy from LOLNEIN or not?
Nooo! 🤣
@@techlessYT xD
I’m interested of getting the TN panel one because of reduced blur, would you recommend getting it?
what is difference between this monitor and GB2570HSU-B1?
Higher brightness and its 24,5 inch and have better speakers
I own this monitor for +/- 1 year now, i chose this monitor because of the 165Hz and 0.8ms was the best choice for budget and performance view at that moment. I'm thinking about buying 2 more of these for eyefinity gaming and using it for working from home.
In my opinion this is the best full hd gaming monitor atm, changing the i-Style options is abit annoying from the backside but that's all I can think of.
what about squeaky sound? everyone complains this display makes it, when idle. Is it too loud?
@@ZLOYTracer not so much, I can hear it when sitting on the desk ( need to focus to do that)
Hey! How is your monitor now? Do you use it? Thank you.
@@hillman9730 yeah still using it. I have 3 of these monitors now. There is indeed abit of coil whine as they discripbe it. I dont use the monitor speakers, im using a gaming headset.
Its good there is anything of a speaker in it but i would not use is as your primary speaker.
@@Richard93DJ thx for your reply
nice quality video, was really helpfull 👍
I would like to see Gigabyte G24F 2 and AOC 24G4X (relatively new one from AOC) on your channel.
hey man thanks for the idea of the moniter does it support 120hz with hdmi? keep up the great work !
Can you do a low input delay guide for this monitor? I just got it for competitive gaming and I feel a lot of input delay in my game
I have this monitor for close to a year now and I haven't once accidentally turned it off when looking for menu xD I am using the monitor A LOT, everyday, at least 6 hours and max 20 of course
Hey! How do you like this monitor now? Are you still using it?
@@hillman9730 Hi! yeah, sure I am!
I like it, there are some more reviews on the internet, you might want to look for them.
I think it's a pretty decent monitor, although I don't think that I have a lot to say because I basically use whatever I happen to have, and I haven't been using many monitors in my life, well except for the cheapest used ones I could find on the internet LOL :D
I am overall happy with it. But again, I am not very picky.
@@thinksie thank you very much for your reply!
@Riaz I still like it :p everything's alright still, no problems encountered
how about the iiyama G-Master G2560HSU-B3. ? what is the difference between that and iiyama G-Master G2560HSU-B1
I just got this monitor to replace the LG 24GN600-F as it makes a humming/buzzing noise at the full 144Hz and immediately the Iiyama GB2470HSU-B1 I can tell is a better monitor, colours look spot on right out of the box except for gamma, the LG was good but needed tweaks all over to get it right. Only thing really "bad" about the iiyama so far is having to use buttons to navigate the OSD thats a real pain in the arse compared to a nice little joystick. The monitor doesn't support Win10 HDR either so if thats a thing for you look at the LG, not that HDR should be on your checklist for monitors like this as at best you'll get a HDR10 capable monitor which is crap anyway. Definitely set OD to -1 if you run 165Hz as well to clean up those fast moving images. USB ports are handy to have too for things like LED mouse mats and decent USB microphones, internal power supply vs. external AC brick is also a big plus IMO.
Добрый день. Можете поподробнее описать почему отказались от gn600? Рассматриваю его к покупке и хотелось бы знать все недостатки…
thank you for the profile
What do you recommend more iiyama GB2470HSU or AOC 24G2U i can get them both for almost the same price
can you also make a vide about this monitor iiyama 25" GB2570HSU-B1 its a newer model en comparis it
What about the Iiyama GB2590HSU-B1 240hz IPS FHD 0.4ms for less than 300 euroes ? Could you review it ?
True, I was looking at this monitor as it is higher HZ and is almost the same price in the uk as the GB2470HSU. I would love to see a review of this one.

I'd like to see msi g242 review as well. Someone on reddit said it shares the same panel as AOC 24G2U v2. Unfortunately there is no reviews of MSI g242 on the internet right now :(
@@CheeseBeluga yeah AOC 24G2 V2 and Msi g242 has same panel...im looking to buy the msi g242 since Aoc has returned to make only the older version of AOC 24g2 and i couldnt find a new version in my region.

Just ordered it. Seems like an awesome deal for the price!
Hey ! Slightly off topic but do you think I can buy the AOC 24G2U now and get the V1 ? It will come back in stock the 8th of July on Amazon but I don't know if it will be the V1 or V2. Great video btw
can you make a review of LG 24GN600-B please?
I am thinking of buying the VG249Q or that model.
If I have a choice between this monitor and 24G2 or 24G2SPU, which one is the best?
Great review. Bought the monitor
thanks for making this video
First of all à realy good review. I just wanted to ask what are the optimal sttings to use for fps competitive hardcore gaming for this monitor ?
HI Its me Again:) Does your monitor has the problem with NOISE when turned off or in standby mode? Some people complain about this. Is this like the problem for one or for all.
Ok i telephoned the Ijama service and yhey told me that this is the noise from the power supply and u can get refound of this purpose.
Got this monitor and im pretty satisfied though i have to admit that any fps is almost unplayable for me with overdrive on -1 idk why but the motion blur is too strong. On overdrive +1 or +2 it feels fine and i dont notice any inverse ghosting or stuff like that ingame.
I also thought about getting the Mobiuz (used for around 200€) for the better backlight-strobing. Is it really that much better than the one on the iiyama? And can you use backlight-strobing along with the bluelight filter on the Mobiuz?
Hey! Are you still using this monitor? How is he to you now? I will be grateful for the answer.
@@hillman9730 ye, it's still good. not recommending it for the backlight strobing but apart from that i can recommend it.
@@chingler802 thank you for your reply
@@chingler802 does it still work well?
Is the ghosting High or not? i didn't understand the video very well for my lack of english
This monitor in 27", priced at $200 would be a good buy.
I always read in monitor reviews that one shouldn`t use a FHD monitor larger than 24"
Just received the monitor 🔥
iiyama G-Master G2470HSU or AOC 24G2SPU?
Which one will be better and faster?
Thanks for the review. Can I use this ICC profile on the GB2590HSU? How do I open the factory menu?
The G version is $547 and GB version is $344 in Canada!
This or tuf vg249q? Or something else around that price point. Only important thing is gaming perfomance for me.
What did you get?
@@kenzieusa3356 gigabyte g24f
Is it possible to turn down color calibration sliders to lower the brightness even further independently of the backlight (at the expense of the color accuarcy, of course)?
It's possible, but using the contrast slider instead or turning down brightness through the graphics card control software would make more sense. Though all of those methods will significantly decrease the contrast ratio.
I have this screen for months because of you (Thanks btw!)
But what's the best way to clean the screen?
(It's only fingerprints and dust)
Same, I get a lot of fingerprints + dust too
Hey! How is your monitor now? Do you use it? Thank you.
@@hillman9730 Hello,
Its doing great and I'm using it still, for the fingerprints I use only washcloths but do you have a more efficient way to do it?

hi, do you know about the high frequency squeak of the power supply in standby mode?
Unfortunately yes. I noticed some whine.

Hey, I bought this monitor this weekend after watching a lot of your videos. It arrived today, it's a great monitor however when the screen is in Stand-by mode/turned off it makes a pretty loud coil whine sound. Do you know of any way to fix this?

That's PSU problem, happens in most (maybe all) monitors of this model (mine as well). You can't fix it.
@@orze7218 Yep, can't fix it but I solved the problem with a c13 to c14 cable, just switch the monitor on and off with that. It's even easier to reach than the regular on/off button
