iiyama G-Master G2470HSU-B6 Red Eagle 24"

Manufacturer: iiyama

The iiyama G-Master G2470HSU-B6 Red Eagle is a 24-inch class gaming monitor built around a 23.8-inch IPS panel with a matte finish, making it a practical option for extended sessions where screen reflections could otherwise be a distraction. With a 180Hz refresh rate, the display is well-suited to fast-paced gaming scenarios where smoother motion can make a meaningful difference. The panel supports 16.7 million colors at 8-bit depth, and its wide viewing angles of 178 degrees both horizontally and vertically keep image consistency across a broad range of positions.

On the connectivity side, the G2470HSU-B6 offers one HDMI 1.4 port, one DisplayPort 1.2 output, and four USB 3.1 ports, alongside a 3.5mm audio jack. A built-in stereo speaker system delivers 2 x 2W of audio output. The monitor supports VESA mounting and includes tilt adjustment, though it lacks swivel and portrait mode capabilities. Running at a typical brightness of 300 nits with a 1000:1 contrast ratio, it draws just 18W during operation, with standby consumption dropping to 0.5W.

Pros
  • The 180Hz refresh rate ensures noticeably smoother motion during fast-paced gaming sessions
  • A 0.2ms response time minimizes ghosting and blur in rapidly moving scenes
  • Four USB 3.1 ports offer plenty of connectivity for peripherals alongside the display inputs
  • Wide 178-degree viewing angles both horizontally and vertically keep image consistency across a broad seating range
  • VESA mount support allows flexible placement on a wall or monitor arm
  • Built-in stereo speakers remove the need for separate audio hardware in basic setups
Cons
  • The stand does not support swivel movement or portrait mode rotation, limiting ergonomic flexibility
  • HDMI is limited to version 1.4, which restricts bandwidth compared to newer HDMI standards
  • No USB Type-C port means users with modern laptops or devices relying on that connection must use an adapter
  • The EU energy label of E indicates relatively lower energy efficiency
  • Color calibration is not supported, leaving users without factory-adjusted color accuracy out of the box
  • No ambient light sensor means the display cannot automatically adjust brightness based on room lighting conditions
Who is this for?

This monitor is a solid fit for everyday PC gamers who prioritize fast, responsive gameplay, as the combination of a 180Hz refresh rate and 0.2ms response time handles rapid on-screen motion cleanly. Users who rely on multiple USB peripherals will also appreciate the four USB 3.1 ports built into the display. The inclusion of VESA mount support makes it a practical choice for those who prefer a cleaner desk setup using a monitor arm or wall mount, and the matte panel suits anyone working or gaming in a room with moderate ambient light.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who require precise, accurate color reproduction — such as those involved in photo editing or graphic design — will find this monitor lacking, as it offers only 8-bit depth with no color calibration support and a standard 1000:1 contrast ratio. Those seeking a more flexible ergonomic setup will be limited by the absence of swivel adjustment and portrait mode capability. Additionally, users who depend on modern connection standards will be constrained by the HDMI 1.4 port and the lack of USB Type-C, making it a poor match for setups built around newer laptops or video sources that rely on higher-bandwidth or single-cable connectivity.

Final Verdict

The iiyama G-Master G2470HSU-B6 Red Eagle positions itself as a focused gaming monitor that delivers where it counts for its intended audience — its 180Hz refresh rate paired with a 0.2ms response time makes it a reliable choice for gamers who prioritize fluid, low-latency visuals over color-critical accuracy. The practical addition of four USB 3.1 ports and VESA mount compatibility adds everyday usability that extends beyond pure gaming. However, the monitor's ergonomic limitations, HDMI 1.4 ceiling, and absence of color calibration mean it caters to a fairly specific user profile. For straightforward gaming and general desktop use in a well-lit room, it serves its purpose competently, but users with broader or more demanding requirements will likely find its feature set constraining.
