Hi All.
About 3 to 4 months ago, i bought an Iiyama GB2470HSU-B1 monitor. Its a 24" 1080 ips 165hz monitor. Ive been perfectly happy with it, until it went wrong. I contacted the supplier, not ocuk in this case, and they advised i contacted iiyama directly, and provided contact details. I contacted them, who turn out to be a group called repairtech. Googling them didnt fill me with confidence, but i thought id give it a try. Within a few days they had swapped out the screen for a refurnished one. All seemed well for about 4 minutes, until that one went wrong too. I raised it with them again. They dont have any more, and werent sure when they would have.
So i went back to the supplier who have now taken over and its gone back to them. Unless it miraculously fixes itself, i should have the option of a replacement or a refund.
I understand that sometimes things just go wrong, but the replacement also being faulty has caused me to wonder if this model has reliability problems. Or the stock of replacements that repairtech have available and just a bit ropey.
With the speed, the IPS screen, and the rotation into portrait (really helps for storing the monitor when im not using it) it was the perfect fit. There isnt much that does the same for the same sort of money. It was £170 when i bought it, but the price has gone up a bit. I can add a bit more, but i only use it for a bit of gaming with my mates.
So is Iiyama considered to be a good brand for monitors, compared to the likes of Asus, viewsonic, MSI and gigabyte? They have similar monitors for similar prices. Iiyama seem to just make monitors and not everything else too, which is usually a good sign. But i get so little time for gaming, its so frustrating when hardware lets you down.
Cheers guys.
