Iiyama 'G-Master' Monitors

Anyone here got one of these?

Currently have a Iiyama ProLite G2773HS myself. Fantastic monitor however when i'm playing on the PS3 the contrast/brightness are knackered.

Dark scenes are super dark while the bright scenes are super bright e.g. Dark Souls (Blight Town), everything is super dark and hard to see but the torches and any light sources are really bright to the point of hurting my eyes so i'm wondering if these new monitors might help with their 'Black Tuner' feature.

Another question, has anyone here gone from a 27" display to a 24" display? If so, was teh difference drastic?

I got one of these a couple of weeks back...had to return it , screen was flickering all over the place..plus i was getting grey lined screens too .

at the moment i have two 27 screens couldn't go back to something as small as 24

Oh dear, not what I wanted to hear.

I have the same monitor as you, bought the Iiyama 27" Freesync 75hz 1440p model late last year and sent it back. Iiyama build quailty isnt what it used to be, it had a red stuck pixel in the middle of the screen, wouldnt go over 70hz, the colours looked odd and it felt quite flimsy compared to my old monitor

Shame, might have to look into BenQ then. A friend has a 27" 1080P 120Hz screen and the colours/picture quality are fantastic.

Somebody purchased one here and seemed happy:

It sounds like you don't have proper RGB being displayed if blacks and whites aren't displayed properly.

I've ticked all the stuff in the PS3 settings to enable full colour/super white etc. but it doesn't make any difference. I wonder if it's because i'm running the HDMI cable through a splitter as I stream the PS3 sometimes. The games on the PC are fine eg. Dark Souls is perfect brightness/colour wise but on the PS3 the dark colours are black and bright light sources are blinding. I essentially want one of these new monitors for the 'gamer' setting which brightens up the background a bit.

Bit of an off topic question, has anyone here gone from a 27" monitor to a 24" one? If so, what are your thoughts?

Anyone?

I had to go back to my BenQ XL2420T (24") while my ROG Swift (28") was being RMA'd and it wasn't the greatest experience - I guess you'd get used to it but it was a big step backwards in every way heh none the least the physical size difference.

MrMarvelous · 13 Apr 2016 at 12:35

Not what I wanted to hear haha! Didn't think the 3" difference would be that great as I don't have a 24" monitor to compare it to my 27".

I expect you get used to it after awhile but at first I was like woah and even after the 3 week turn around of the RMA I was happy to get back onto the bigger monitor.

Try going from 27" 1440p to 14" 1080p

I went from 3x 24" screens to 1x 28" screen. You will always miss the extra space.

Thanks guys. Looks like i'll be waiting for a 27" 120/144Hz monitor then.
