What iiyama monitor should I get?

[Christige]

I was told that Iiyama make some good monitors so thought that it would be a good idea to get one. I found that there were many monitors with what seemed to be the same specs on the overclockers website. I was looking at getting either the:

Iiyama Prolite E2480HS-B1

or the:

Iiyama Prolite B2480HS-B1

As far as I could tell the only difference was that the Iiyama Prolite E2480HS-B1 was £10 cheaper than the other but I am not convinced that this is the case. Does anyone know whether there is a difference between the two and if it is worth the extra £10 for the Iiyama Prolite B2480HS-B1?

Neither.
Get the X2377HDS.

IPS displays are far better than TN panels.

the E2480HS-B1 is thinner, has a slimmer bezel, and hence it weighs less.
the B2480HS-B1 has a greater tilt capability, but is bulkier and heavier

so, this means the E2480HS-B1 would be better as a part of a multi-monitor setup.

apart from those differences, they are the same.

Thank you very much for the replies, I will be using these monitors for gaming so will go with a TN panel.

You're still better with an IPS panel.
You don't get any more lag on an IPS panel, and colours are far, far better.

I agree with James. IPS panel monitors look much, much better and gaming wise there are no issues.

I have the same monitor James recommended and love it! Great monitor, colours look amazing and no Lag or screen tearing to worry about!

my iiyama 's are over 2yrs old now (E2472HD), and still wicked.

i chose my version as they have a faster response time, <2ms, as opposed to the 5ms of the IPS alternatives.

i am a 3d designer, more than i am a gamer.

 

[s3ns3]

now put that against an IPS panel.be amazed.2ms is marketing

you can take a look at the benq GW2450HM. VA panel,4ms .far better then any TN panel.colors,angles etc. its worth the extra cost

If its for gaming take the iiyama ProLite G2773HS-1. Its 120Hz non 3D with 2ms response time.
No need to turn on vsync, no tearing under 120 fps.
Got one myself and i enjoy it.

Thank you very much everyone, I shall get the X2377HDS as suggested.
