iiyama Prolite XUB2497HSN-B2 24"

Manufacturer: iiyama

The iiyama Prolite XUB2497HSN-B2 24″ is a 23.8-inch standard desktop monitor built around an IPS panel with LED backlighting. It delivers a 1920x1080 resolution at 92 ppi, and its 100Hz refresh rate makes it a capable option for everyday computing and light productivity tasks. The stand supports tilt, swivel, and portrait mode, giving users considerable flexibility in how they position the display on their desk.

On the connectivity side, the monitor includes one HDMI 1.4 port, one DisplayPort 1.2 output, a USB Type-C port, and a total of five USB ports, along with a 3.5mm audio jack and Ethernet — a notably broad range of interfaces for a monitor in this category. Color coverage is rated at 99% sRGB with a contrast ratio of 1300:1 and a typical brightness of 300 nits. Built-in stereo speakers deliver 2x2W of audio output. Operating power consumption sits at 20W, with standby draw of just 0.5W, and the monitor carries an EU energy label of E.

Pros
  • The stand supports tilt, swivel, and portrait mode, offering meaningful ergonomic flexibility for different working setups
  • VESA mount compatibility allows the monitor to be used with wall brackets or monitor arms
  • A broad set of ports — including USB-C, Ethernet, five USB ports, HDMI, and DisplayPort — reduces the need for additional adapters or hubs
  • 99% sRGB coverage makes it suitable for color-sensitive work such as photo editing or graphic design
  • Built-in stereo speakers eliminate the need for external audio equipment in basic use cases
  • Standby power consumption of just 0.5W keeps idle energy draw minimal
Cons
  • The EU energy label of E indicates relatively low energy efficiency during normal operation
  • Color calibration is not supported, which limits accuracy for professional color-critical workflows
  • HDMI is limited to version 1.4, which may restrict bandwidth in certain use cases
  • No Thunderbolt support, which reduces compatibility with high-speed peripherals and certain laptop setups
  • The monitor does not include a front camera, remote control, ambient light sensor, or Picture-in-Picture functionality
Who is this for?

This monitor is a practical fit for office and productivity-focused users who benefit from a wide range of connectivity options, particularly those who rely on USB-C and Ethernet for a streamlined desk setup. The 99% sRGB coverage and 1300:1 contrast ratio make it a reasonable choice for casual color-sensitive work such as photo editing or design tasks that do not require hardware calibration. The ergonomic stand — with tilt, swivel, and portrait mode support — also suits users who need to adjust their display orientation throughout the day, while VESA compatibility adds further flexibility for those using monitor arms.

Who is this NOT for?

Users looking for a display suited to competitive or fast-paced gaming may find the 100Hz refresh rate and 1080p resolution limiting compared to higher-spec alternatives in the same space. The absence of color calibration support makes this monitor a poor fit for professional color-critical workflows such as print production or broadcast grading, where verified color accuracy is essential. Additionally, users who need Thunderbolt connectivity or wireless flexibility will find this monitor lacking, as it supports neither Thunderbolt nor Wi-Fi.
