Frequently asked questions
What resolution does the Iiyama ProLite XUB2796QSU-B5 run at?
The panel shows 2560x1440 pixels across 27 inches, around 109 pixels per inch. That is QHD, the usual compromise between image detail and the load put on the graphics card. The IPS panel keeps colours stable whatever the viewing angle.
Is the Iiyama ProLite XUB2796QSU-B5 a good monitor for gaming?
Yes. The panel runs at 144 Hz, well above the 60 Hz of an office screen, and motion gains a lot of smoothness. At 2560x1440 you still need a graphics card able to keep up with that pace. The 27 inches at 2560x1440 also weigh on the frame rate the graphics card can hold.
What features does the Iiyama ProLite XUB2796QSU-B5 include?
No, there is no USB-C port on this model, so the connection goes through the usual video inputs. Beyond that it offers a height adjustable stand and built in speakers, but goes without HDR and a curved panel. The adjustable stand saves you from adding a riser to line the panel up with your eyes.
Is the Iiyama ProLite XUB2796QSU-B5 worth 694 euros?
At 694 euros it scores 4.3/5 across 1,500 Amazon reviews. The score sits in the healthy middle of the comparison. It sits in the Gaming category of our selection. Main strength: 144Hz at an affordable price. Main compromise: no HDR.
