iiyama Prolite XUB2492QSU-B1 24"

Manufacturer: iiyama

The iiyama Prolite XUB2492QSU-B1 24″ is a 23.8-inch QHD monitor built around an IPS, LCD, LED-backlit panel that delivers a 2560 x 1440 resolution at 123 ppi. It carries a matte, anti-glare surface and wide 178-degree viewing angles both horizontally and vertically, making it a solid everyday display for general desktop use. The stand supports tilt and swivel adjustments, and the monitor is also VESA-mount compatible for those who prefer an aftermarket arm.

Running at 100Hz with a 1ms response time, the panel covers 16.7 million colors at 300 nits of typical brightness and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. Connectivity includes one HDMI port, one DisplayPort output, three USB 3.1 ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The monitor also integrates stereo speakers rated at 2 x 2W. Power draw sits at 25W during operation and drops to 0.5W in standby, and it carries an EU energy label of F.

Pros
  • The swivel and tilt stand allows for flexible positioning adjustments without needing a separate mount
  • VESA mount compatibility gives the option to use third-party arms or wall brackets
  • Three USB 3.1 ports on the monitor itself reduce the need for a separate hub
  • The matte panel with anti-glare coating helps reduce reflections in well-lit workspaces
  • Wide 178-degree viewing angles both horizontally and vertically ensure consistent image quality across a range of seating positions
  • Standby power consumption of just 0.5W keeps idle energy use minimal
Cons
  • Portrait mode is not supported, limiting vertical orientation use cases
  • No USB Type-C port, which restricts connectivity with modern laptops and devices that rely on it
  • Color calibration is not supported, which may be a drawback for color-sensitive work
  • The EU energy label of F indicates relatively low energy efficiency during operation
  • No PiP functionality, preventing simultaneous display of multiple input sources
  • Built-in speakers are limited to 2 x 2W with no support for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or DTS Surround
Who is this for?

This monitor suits users who need a reliable everyday workstation display, particularly those working with office productivity, document editing, or general desktop tasks where a sharp 2560 x 1440 resolution at 123 ppi makes a noticeable difference in text clarity. The matte anti-glare panel is well-suited to brightly lit office environments, and the swivel, tilt, and VESA mount support make it a practical choice for users who need ergonomic flexibility in their setup. The three USB 3.1 ports add useful desk connectivity for those running multiple peripherals from a single workstation.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely on color-accurate or professionally calibrated output — such as graphic designers, photographers, or video editors — will find this monitor limiting, as it lacks color calibration support and carries a modest 1000:1 contrast ratio. It is also a poor fit for competitive or fast-paced gaming environments where higher refresh rates and adaptive sync features are typically expected, as the 100Hz ceiling and absence of advanced display technologies leave little headroom. Additionally, users who depend on USB Type-C connectivity or require portrait orientation for reading and coding workflows will find the missing USB-C port and lack of portrait mode support to be notable gaps.
