Product Information

All the gamma modes are 0.1 higher than their numbering would suggest. But at least they're consistent. This monitor has amazing specs for the price. You honestly can't beat it. The OSD is a bit annoying to use but it's kind of a set it and forget it deal. Honestly, this is the ultimate 400 monitor to beat. Of course, this is a gaming-focused display so we had to fire up our usual selection of games including CS:GO, Rainbow 6 Siege and League of Legends, but added Shadow Warrior 2 for HDR support. We enabled the FPS Gaming Mode preset for the first two games, and Strategy for LoL. We also enabled FreeSync since it isn't turned on by default. There's a decent if not outstanding range of gaming-specific OSD features available, although not as many as the particularly gaming-focused screens from other manufacturers. The menu itself is functional rather than inspiring, but well organised. Above 50 per cent brightness the colour uniformity also starts to diverge along the left-hand edge as well.

The next main menu section is Color. Here, you can choose between warm, normal and cool presets, or define your own colour balance via red, green and blue levels. You can also define three levels of blue light reduction beyond Off to give your eyes a rest. There are three gamma presets. The 2.2 one is the default, as expected, but you can also select 1.8 and 2.6. These are quite large steps between the options. Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting. FreeSync Premium support at up to 144Hz delivers the silky gameplay typically associated with pricier units. The third button along simply adjusts the volume on the stereo 5W built-in speakers, or headphones if you're using those instead.

Any ultrawide canvas should specialise in productivity or immersive gaming. In terms of the former, iiyama’s 3440×1440 resolution and 21:9 aspect ratio is a real boon when working with multiple windows side-by-side. The native resolution at a 34in screen size is sufficient to keep Windows scaling to 100 per cent, and though we’ve enjoyed using the GB3467WQSU as an everyday workhorse, there are some obvious limitations. Hardly ideal, and difficult to verify seeing as the bug rarely appears, but it is encouraging to learn that iiyama's technical team is working to resolve the matter. In the meantime, let's turn our attention to the benchmarks.

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. 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. 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.

View the below and delete the red marked entries. We performed the quality tests on the iiyama G-Master GB3461WQSU-B1 at its native 3,440 x 1,440 resolution in the default mode, after resetting the OSD, which sets the refresh to 144Hz over a DIsplayPort connection. Our test system was equipped with an AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition graphics card, which supports FreeSync, so we enabled that for games testing.If there’s a criticism of iiyama’s simplistic implementation it’s that the perfunctory 2W stereo speakers are particularly basic. Void of definition in either the highs or lows, they serve a purpose for basic notifications, but for gaming or multimedia use you’ll want to employ an external set or a pair of headphones. Ultrawide, Ultrafast The percentage of the approximate area, taken by the active part of the screen, to the total front area. Covering 100% of the sRGB colour range, this IPS panel provides outstanding colour accuracy and wider viewing angles guaranteeing high-fidelity, vivid battleground scenes.

The colour accuracy, expressed as a Delta E ratio, with a result under 3 being fine for normal use, and under 2 being great for colour-accurate design work. The gamut is reasonable, with the 100 per cent sRGB we now expect from all monitors, plus a very good 80 per cent AdobeRGB and 84 per cent DCI-P3. 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. Dimensions, weight and color Information about the dimensions and the weight of the specific model with and without stand as well as the colors, in which it is offered to the market. Width You're also rather spoiled for connectivity, with two HDMI and two DisplayPort connections. The USB 3.0 hub will be handy, but primarily for keyboard and mouse, because there are only two ports, which is a bit of a disappointment. There is also a comprehensive range of adjustability available.With IPS panel, 144Hz refresh rate, 1ms MPRT and the 3440x1440 resolution, the monitor allows hardcore gamers to unleash their gaming potential and enjoy superb image quality. The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10. Eurostat Electricity Price (as of 1st Half of 2020), ** Consumption duration based on Initiative EnergieEffizienz (as of 2013) You get a quartet of video input options – two HDMI and two DisplayPort, although you will need to use one of the latter for the 144Hz ability, as HDMI is limited to 120Hz. There's a two-port USB 3.0 hub, and a comprehensive set of adjustment abilities, including height adjustment, swivel, and tilt. Perhaps more surprisingly, you can rotate this screen into portrait orientation. This made no sense with curved screens offering this facility, but as the GB3461WQSU-B1 isn't curved, you could use it for reading a really long Word document all at once. Or something. Approximate height of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the height is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio.
