iiyama Prolite XUB2497HSU-B2 24"

Manufacturer: iiyama

The iiyama Prolite XUB2497HSU-B2 is a 23.8-inch standard desktop monitor built around an IPS, LED-backlit LCD panel. It carries a matte, anti-glare coating that helps reduce reflections in typical office or home environments. The stand offers a solid range of ergonomic adjustments, including tilt, swivel, and portrait mode rotation, alongside VESA mount compatibility for those who prefer third-party mounting solutions.

On the display side, the panel delivers a 1920 x 1080 resolution at 92 ppi, a 100Hz refresh rate, and a quoted 1ms response time, complemented by a contrast ratio of 1300:1 and 300 nits of typical brightness. Color reproduction spans 16.7 million colors with 99% sRGB coverage. Connectivity includes one HDMI 1.4 port, one DisplayPort 1.2 output, two USB ports, and a 3.5mm audio jack, while a pair of 2W stereo speakers handle basic audio output. Operating power consumption sits at 19W, with a standby draw of just 0.5W.

Pros
  • The stand supports tilt, swivel, height adjustment, and portrait mode rotation, offering a solid range of ergonomic flexibility for different working setups
  • Wide 178-degree viewing angles in both directions ensure consistent image quality when viewed from off-center positions
  • 99% sRGB coverage paired with a 16.7 million color display makes it well-suited for color-accurate work within the sRGB space
  • The matte, anti-glare panel surface helps reduce reflections under varied lighting conditions
  • VESA mount compatibility allows the monitor to be used with a wide range of third-party arms and wall brackets
  • Standby power consumption of just 0.5W keeps idle energy draw minimal
Cons
  • No adaptive synchronization support, which limits smoothness during variable frame rate content
  • HDMI 1.4 is an older standard with lower bandwidth compared to newer versions
  • The EU energy label rating of E indicates relatively lower energy efficiency during operation
  • No USB Type-C port, which restricts connectivity options for modern devices
  • Built-in speakers are limited to 2 x 2W with no support for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or DTS Surround
  • Lacks an ambient light sensor, meaning brightness cannot adjust automatically to changing room conditions
Who is this for?

This monitor is a practical fit for everyday office and productivity use, where its 99% sRGB coverage and 16.7 million color display can support tasks like document work, web browsing, and basic photo editing within the sRGB color space. The ergonomic stand with tilt, swivel, and portrait mode rotation makes it well-suited for users who need to adjust their screen orientation throughout the day, while VESA compatibility adds flexibility for those using multi-monitor arms or wall mounts. The matte anti-glare panel is particularly appropriate for brightly lit workspaces where reflections would otherwise be distracting.

Who is this NOT for?

Users looking for a monitor for competitive gaming will find the lack of adaptive synchronization a notable limitation, as screen tearing during variable frame rate gameplay cannot be mitigated. The HDMI 1.4 port may also be a bottleneck for users connecting newer devices that benefit from higher-bandwidth video output. Additionally, those requiring wide color gamut coverage beyond sRGB — such as professional video editors or photographers working in DCI-P3 or Adobe RGB — will find this monitor's color space coverage insufficient for their workflows. The EU energy label of E also makes it a less suitable choice for users with a strong focus on energy-conscious setups.
