iiyama Prolite XUB2797QSNP-B1 27"

Manufacturer: iiyama

The iiyama Prolite XUB2797QSNP-B1 is a 27-inch standard IPS monitor designed for everyday professional use. Built around a 2560 x 1440 pixel IPS panel, it delivers a pixel density of 108 ppi alongside wide 178-degree viewing angles both horizontally and vertically. The display features a matte, anti-glare coating and is capable of a 100Hz refresh rate with a 1ms response time, making it suitable for a range of desktop tasks.

On the connectivity side, the XUB2797QSNP-B1 offers one HDMI 2.0 port, two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, USB Type-C, and a total of five USB 3.1 ports, complemented by a 3.5mm audio jack and built-in Ethernet. The monitor produces up to 300 nits of brightness, covers 99% of the sRGB color space, and displays 16.7 million colors at a contrast ratio of 1300:1. Ergonomically, it supports tilt, swivel, portrait mode, and VESA mounting, while its integrated stereo speakers deliver 2 x 2W of audio output. Operating power consumption is rated at 26W.

Pros
  • The swivel stand, tilt support, portrait mode capability, and VESA mount compatibility offer considerable flexibility in positioning and workspace setup
  • Five USB 3.1 ports including USB Type-C, two DisplayPort 1.4 outputs, HDMI 2.0, and built-in Ethernet provide a well-rounded set of connectivity options without needing a separate hub
  • 99% sRGB coverage and a 16.7 million color display make it suitable for color-sensitive work within the sRGB gamut
  • The matte, anti-glare panel helps reduce reflections in bright working environments
  • A 1ms response time combined with a 100Hz refresh rate supports smooth on-screen motion for everyday and moderately fast-paced use
  • Wide 178-degree viewing angles both horizontally and vertically ensure consistent image quality across a broad range of viewing positions
Cons
  • No adaptive synchronization support means screen tearing may occur during variable frame rate content
  • The EU energy label of E indicates relatively low energy efficiency for a monitor in this class
  • Built-in speakers are limited to 2 x 2W with no support for Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, or DTS Surround, restricting audio quality
  • Color calibration is not supported, which may be a drawback for users requiring precise, verified color accuracy
  • There is no ambient light sensor, so brightness cannot adjust automatically to changing room conditions
Who is this for?

This monitor is a solid fit for office professionals and content creators who work primarily within the sRGB color space, thanks to its 99% sRGB coverage and 2560 x 1440 resolution at 108 ppi, which together produce detailed, color-consistent visuals across everyday tasks. The comprehensive ergonomic adjustments — tilt, swivel, portrait mode, and VESA mount support — make it well-suited for users who need a flexible, desk-friendly setup, including those using multi-monitor arrangements. Its broad connectivity, featuring dual DisplayPort 1.4, USB Type-C, and five USB 3.1 ports with built-in Ethernet, also makes it a practical choice for users managing multiple peripherals or daisy-chained displays without additional hardware.

Who is this NOT for?

Users who rely on adaptive sync technology to eliminate screen tearing during gaming or variable frame rate content will find this monitor lacking, as no such synchronization is supported. Those requiring precise, verified color accuracy beyond the sRGB gamut — such as photographers or video editors working in wide-color workflows — will be limited by the absence of color calibration support. Additionally, users with demanding audio needs will find the integrated 2 x 2W stereo speakers insufficient, as the monitor supports none of the common surround sound standards, making it unsuitable as a standalone audio solution.
