iiyama XB2481HS-B1 24" ProLite Height Adjustable VA LCD Monitor - Black & Amazon Basics USB 2.0 Cable - A-Male to B-Male - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters)

This is an update on the monitors. The company was contacted and they asked me to provide images of the faults. I took a number of photos of the issues and they keep on making excuses.Their warranty clearly states they will replace monitors with issues, yet when I contacted them....They would not follow. First they want to collect the monitors but not replace them...so what am I supposed to use for an interface while they figure out what the issue is.I am at this point going to ask for a refund from my credit card company - they cant honour their warranty dont buy because they lieI purchased 2 of these monitors & within 4 months they both developed what looks like a watermark on the far left side of the screen .I do not know what the mark is from, seems like a pixel or LCD issue. There is no support from the company & no guarantee. Stay Far Away from these monitors.Very difficult to get support from the sellers website. Lots of phone numbers. Will get a refund and look for different monitorsNo support for UK customers, so why you selling to UK customers. I will simply cancel this on my card and get a refund. Why should customers who purchase products take hours to figure out ways to get hold of support.

I have four other Iiyama monitors and have been very pleased with them. Unfortunately these two latest units have very poor audio output even when turned up to maximum on either line or HDMI inputs - they are very quiet to the point of not being usable.Also they have no USB ports despite the description of them being included - wrong product description ?I am in the process of returning them and will be seeking another brand / model.I don't make a habit of returning items or writing poor reviews but in this case it is warranted.Edit - in all fairness the picture quality was very good just the sound letting the product down. I have replaced them with another make and the sound is much improved.

I am going to be mounting this onto the wall in the next couple of days so the bracket won't be an issue but... If you are planning on buying the fixed stand variant, be warned, it is low and the weight of the monitor means that it leans forward slightly which is frustrating! I am going to be looking at the monitor straight on so viewing angles are not an issue but I must share that if you are not looking directly at the screen then the picture quality goes downhill.Finally, when I connected via hdmi, the speakers in the monitor took over and it took me a little while to get my bose speakers back up and running. The monitor speakers are AWFUL... It begs the question why they even bothered.Good picture, seems good quality. Hope it lasts as long as my old BlueH branded monitor which is about 11 yrs old.

I do not advise buying these. The monitor sometimes went off for a few seconds every now and then when I first bought it but the problem has got worse and the monitor now goes off for approx 10s every 20-30 minutes which I put up with for a while but eventually had to return it. It's annoying anyway and if you're in the middle of a Zoom business meeting it's downright frustrating. All my graphics drivers and whatnot are up to date.Me to monitor, "Monitor? You had one job - display a picture...but you couldn't do it." Hence 1 star.Unlike some reviews, I have had no problems returning it so far. It is due to be picked up by Hermes in the next 48 hours. I almost gave it 2 stars because of the lack of hassle but can't really do that because of the poor quality product. I reviewed all the reviews beforehand. My guess is that they just have mediocre quality control and many of them turn out okay but there are some duff ones. That said, I'll be buying something else to replace this.

Having bought a high refresh rate gaming monitor, I wanted to find a secondary monitor for watching Netflix/streaming Spotify when gaming. My criteria were as follows:- Same size as my primary display (24")- Have a height adjustable stand- Not have a TN panel, ideally IPS. (though note, this panel uses a VA panel)This was the cheapest monitor I could find that fit these criteria, and when purchased was prices at £116. For the price I am pretty happy with it. Out of the box its not got the best colours/contrast etc, and the overall image quality isn't very good, but with a bit of tweaking with the on-screen-display settings, I have gotten the monitor to a state I am happy with, and for the purpose I want it for this display works a treat, the colours are acceptable, viewing angles are consistent, design is pleasing and simplistic, and assembly was nice and simple, only requiring the base to be screwed the arm already attached to the monitor. I would absolutely recommended this monitor to someone looking for a cheapish secondary monitor, or to someone looking to use a reasonably nice monitor as a primary display for workplace applications, and whilst some may consider the 75hz refresh rate a nice upgrade over the standard 60hz (this must be enabled in windows settings) I don't personally notice very much difference.That being said this monitor is absolutely not for use as a gaming display. The pixel response times are incredibly low. Even tasks as simple as scrolling through web pages and moving around windows leaves very obvious ghosting trails behind, and this will cause all kinds of problems in fast paced gaming environments.Overall I would definitely reccomend this monitor if it fits your requirements, though if you can stretch to another £20 or so, there is an IPS monitor with a very similar name and design also listed on amazon. This would have been my first choice however it was out of stock at the time of purchase.
